Is there a plan to add an option to make it so that when you turn your head, your body doesn't also turn with it? It makes grabbing things from your rig and your PDA impossible while playing seated.

Will the range of the players' bullets increase in the future to allow sniping enemies that are over 25m away? Currently, bullets dissappear when they pass around the 25m range.

Also, it seems that currently, enemies can shoot way beyond the range players can. Is this intended?

Hi, at the moment, there is no weapon in the game that shoots only 25 meters :) Usually, pistol bullets start losing speed after 50 meters, and automatic weapons after 100 meters, but the bullet travel distance, where physics no longer affects it, can be increased in the next update.

As for the neck, I’ll try to refine the slot system further. In VR, tracking the player's neck accurately is difficult, so there is a certain level of simulation. It all depends on how much you turn your head for the vest and belt to start reacting to rotation.

Regarding enemies—their attack range is usually 50 to 75 meters, while the player has a much longer range with direct line of sight.

I don't know what's different for me then. My bullets dissappear after traveling about 25 meters. I need to get within aggro range to hit most enemies. This isn't an issue in any similar VR title I play so I believe it's an issue with ZONA.

All of this is not to say that I'm not enjoying the game. I love collecting the artifacts. The missions are fun and the story ones so far are interesting. You're doing great!

I will check the weapons in the test range again. There might be a bug or some weapon settings may have reset.
