Always feel like I'm babysitting in rec room

oh get over it, mute ..done

Early in the day it's all kids, evening is adults. The difficulty level skyrockets after ten.

They key is to friend up with anyone skilled/older than 15. Lots of youngn's in the locker room but they become easy fodder for my paintball gun

First time I beat Quest was when there were two kids on our side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHfoxBMxLtQ
They were actually really good :)

Oh my god I can't wait! Rec Room is my favourite game on the Rift, this update will be amazing!

Amazing! Release date?

They're saying a week or so

Isnt the paintball game basically laser tag already? I'm certainly going to try this, but I wanted more dungeon levels with bow and sword.

It has some paintballish elements, but it still has that Questy charm to it. They also fleshed out the gun mechanics a lot more (you have to reload the guns now, you can hold 2/3s of the new guns with two hands, and all the guns have some sort of sight). The difficulty is up overall as well, it's pretty hectic and you have to rely pretty heavily on cover. As a die-hard fan of the first Quest, I'm VERY excited to play the rest of this.
Jong Yi and Smelly Kid both put up gameplay videos in r/RecRoom too, so I recommend you go check those out!

Two handed guns might get me to dust off my noobtube. Will have to see about the cover, kneeling a lot makes my knee hurt XD

Thick yoga mat. Best VR investment for shooting games that require kneeling

Yeah it's not so much the floors, I have a bad knee XD

If I had one I'd definitely try it out! It's mostly paintball-type cover, I don't think my knees ever hit the ground (although they definitely could!)

Oh coo!! Can't wait to play it. I really enjoyed the last Quest.
You won't be disappointed! They upped the difficulty quite a bit, it's more hectic and cover based now, and they put a lot of work into the gun mechanics so now we have reloading and two-handed wielding
even more difficult? I never beat the quest!
It helps to find a good team. A lot of the original Quest is learning the spawns - once you have those down, you're pretty hard to kill!
yeah, sure would be nice to have a great team instead of a bunch of babies :D
Is it out now?
Nope, I got invited by the devs to play a little teaser of it, just the first two levels in an apparently unfinished state (although you wouldn't know from playing!)
I'm really looking forward to it. My favourite quest spawn is where the 4 red flying fireball guys spawn and you need to keep dodging and hiding behind cover while taking them out.
