Joystick turning with yaw, while using the SpeedBoots mutator is lots of fun, but you will need to work yourself up to a comfortable level first!
Thanks!


Jumping with controller gesture's (physics based)
also, combine a trackpad jump + controller jump to do tricks!!!!
Tricks like - Dodging, Doublejump, Speed jumping (time to strafe jump in vr lads!)
To initiate hold down the climb button, move your controllers down quickly and then release the button, you should quickly get the hang of it, it is all about timing the release correctly. You can use this to push yourself in any direction, for extra fun, jump using the trackpad, then dodge left or right!

Full Climbing!
Finally, if there is a wall you see that looks bad ass, you can climb right up that bad boy! Why? Because you can! and it's fun!
You cannot shoot while you are climbing though, so watch your back!
