> FPS that can be played in large scale format but doesn't reward 14 year old reflexes

FWIW I've recently gotten an Oculus Quest 2 and I've been playing a lot of Pavlov Shack. I was afraid of the quick-reflexes, playing-all-the-time, fearsome 14 years old (and judging by their voices, there's a lot of them), but I've been doing pretty well - usually ending up with a 2:1 or 3:1 K/D ratio, top of the team table, and playing maybe an hour every other day. I'm very surprised by this, and I can't really explain it - I'm not a gamer and the last time I played an FPS seriously was before 2010. TLDR: Go get 'em!

I play pavlov on PCVR and it’sa bit of a different experience. Not sure if there is cross play but most of the people I’ve played against are much more experienced. I think a lot of the people that spend a significant amount amount of time playing also use a mount for their controllers to improve stability and aim.

I use a Sanlaki gunstock, and it has improved my aim massively. Headshots were practically impossible before, now they work routinely if I aim properly.
