half life 2

Universal Melee

– Allows physical melee attacks with any weapon, or even with empty hands.

– Can be toggled in the tweaks menu, the damage can also be tuned as well.

Physical Jumping

– Translates physical jumping into in-game jumping.

– Can be toggled in the controls menu.

– Jumping threshold can be tweaked via the hlvr_control_physical_jump_threshold CVar.

Dual Wielding

– Allows each hand to independently equip and operate a weapon.

– Requires the following actions to be bound on both controllers in the SteamVR bindings menu:

"Fire", "Alt Fire", "Eject Magazine", "Open Weapon Selection".

– It is recommended to rebind "Toggle Menu" to be a long press or chord to not interfere with left hand "Alt Fire".

– It is also recommended to unbind "Sprint" on the left hand, as that is the most natural bind for weapon selection. Sprinting is still possible by double-tapping the joystick.

– Obtaining a weapon makes it usable by both hands. E.g., as soon as you collect the crowbar, you’ll be able to dual wield crowbars.

Virtual Stock

– Interpolates two-handed aiming with the player’s approximate shoulder position, giving more stability when aiming down sights.

– Can be toggled in the tweaks menu, where also the shoulder position can be tuned.

Grip-Holster Mode

– Automatically holsters weapons when the grip is released, and equips the last holstered weapon when the grip is held.

– Any hand interaction (e.g. grabbing a prop, using the flashlight) takes priority over equipping the last holstered weapon.

– This is the recommended setting when dual wielding, as it simplifies the reloading process for two weapons a lot.

– Helps to quickly interact with the world (e.g. collect an item, climb a ladder) without having to open the weapon selection menu.

– Compatible with the “Toggle grab” option, that, if enabled, will require simply pressing the grip button rather than keeping it held.

– Can be toggled in the controls menu, where the related “Toggle grab” option can also be tuned.

Difficulty Tweaks

– Allows fine-tuning of damage, recoil, and bullet spread.

– Both inflicted and taken damage can be tuned, allowing a more deadly and intense (i.e. no bullet sponges) yet fair experience.

– It is recommended to reduce the recoil multiplier a bit to make dual wielding automatic weapons more enjoyable.

– Can be tuned in the tweaks menu.

Miscellaneous

– Manually tweaked the offset of every weapon to keep the player’s hand in the same position, improving aiming consistency.
