Due to recent events a number of structural changes will have to be made for the development of Tactical Assault VR.
As of now JARVIS is stepping down as game developer, thus ending his involvement with Tactical Assault VR's development, leadership and decision making processes.
The Tactical Assault VR project will continue under the new leadership of Puddle and Canto and without the involvement of a publisher.
There will be a downtime period until the next game update will come out while the handover of project development and ownership are in progress.
The game will of course remain operational during this transition period.
Planned future DLCs will be put on hold in favor of expanding on existing DLCs.
Puddle and Canto are confident that these changes will allow us to keep the game going and allow us much more creative and directional freedom to secure the game's future.
Mod support for the game will unfortunately be delayed due to the restructuring that is taking place, but is absolutely something that is still planned.
We hope that these changes will help us regain the confidence of the players and the community, and we hope that you choose to stay with us and help us make the game.

Tactical Assault VR v0.9.22 | HIGH ROF / Performance Update
Hey everyone,
I know, "slow is smooth, smooth is fast"... but c'mon... not at 15 FPS!
We've been busy prioritizing fixes for performance issues and game-breaking bugs. You'll find the game running a lot smoother, faster, and much better optimized.
Optimizations aren't finished yet; more issues need attention, and we will address them over time. However, with major bugs out of the way, we can finally return to working on the fun stuff: new content!
Speaking of fast and new content... check out these new additions!
MG3 LMG
(by Puddle_NL) Introducing the newly added MG3. Famous for its blistering cyclic rate of fire, it delivers unparalleled suppression capabilities and battlefield lethality.
USP40
(by Puddle_NL)
The USP40 is legendary for its military-grade reliability, match-grade accuracy, and sophisticated recoil-reduction system, allowing for quick trigger pulls and recovery.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined the public beta and reported bugs! The public beta will remain open and is fully compatible with the live version of the game. You can stay on the beta branch to receive smaller, periodic local bug-fix updates before they are officially pushed to the live branch.

Player Reputation System
The newly introduced reputation system is intended to reflect a player's standing in public multiplayer lobbies. Reputation is divided into 6 tiers (0-5) and all players start at Tier 4.
Playing the game will increase your reputation over time, allowing you to reach up to Tier 5.
Negative behavior in public lobbies such as killing civilians, hostages or players will decrease your reputation and will result in you being moved to lower reputation tiers over time.
The multiplayer lobby screen now shows your current reputation tier. When creating a lobby you have the new "Match Rep" option, which prevents players of a lower reputation tier than you from joining your lobby. Only players of the same or higher reputation tier will be able to join the lobby.
The lobby list now also shows each lobby's reputation level, if one is set. A green star means your reputation tier is high enough to join, a red star means you won't be able to join the lobby.
Huge thank you to our Discord Community Play Testers, many of whom were actively involved with this update's development!
P.S. This update isn't done! Similar to our previous ORION update, various follow-up updates will include new cosmetics and refinements.

We are officially one week away from the release of the Deadshot Update on May 7th. We’ve been finalizing the launch and wanted to share a deeper look at what’s waiting for you in the field.
New Base Game Mission: Deadshot

Hey all,
Our New Year's update comes to a close with a newly added Mission Sandbox mode and 2 new sniper rifles!
Mission Sandbox Mode:
This is the first iteration of Mission Sandbox mode. Made with role-players and content creators in mind. Start any mission with an empty slate. No Enemies, only mission objectives. Spawn Zone selection made available in every map for players who'd like to join the enemy team. HVTs are considered objectives. Switching to Spawn Zone 2 allows you to fight alongside HVTs against Spawn Zone 1 players. Everyone has unlimited lives! It's Sandbox after all.
Mission Sandbox mode is great for mil-sims and content creators who want to role-play without being harassed by Enemy Ai. Or test some 3 v 3 PvP with mission-based objectives. 4 v 4 in PCVR lobbies.
Note: Sandbox Mission mode is available ONLY in singleplayer and PRIVATE multiplayer COOP rooms. This mode is NOT available in public coop rooms.
New FREE SNIPER RIFLES (by Puddle_NL):
Introducing the R93T bolt-action sniper rifle and VSS full-auto rifle.
Note: Due to having full-auto capability, the VSS rifle DOES NOT have the "Hold Breathe" stabilization.
Zero your long range scopes with newly added scope mechanics. Practice your Sandbox long range shooting over 1000m+; you're going to need it for our next major update...
What's Next?
A lot! We're working hard and still on track to release Operation: Dahlia's Convention Center by the end of Q1/Start of Q2 of 2026.
Stay tuned and until then, enjoy!

The biggest update in the history of Tactical Assault VR is now here!
The SWAT Expansion (Codename: Operation Dahlia) breathes a whole new life into Tactical Assault VR – opening the door to a new world of police-style engagements, orchestrated in a story-driven sequence. With this, Tactical Assault is branching out from its military roots into a strange, darker domain but still maintaining its core focus on realism, high-stakes decisions, and careful team-centric execution.
The SWAT Expansion is an add-on set to include 5 new missions, new weapons, an ample amount of new cosmetics dedicated to the LEO (Law Enforcement Officer)/SWAT theme, and a new multiplayer lobby/social hub (with basketball court and outdoor shooting range).
Favela (Codename: Clipped Wings) – available Q4 2025
Convention Center (Codename: Retaliatory Bite) – available end of Q1 2026
Set in Mexico, these 5 new missions will immerse you with a heavy emphasis on close-quarters combat. Take on the Los Craneos Rojos, a brutal cartel known for terrorizing and spreading their influence across the surrounding regions.
Eliminate the threat or switch up your ROE (Rules of Engagement) through the surrendering modifier. Test your PID (Positive Identification) with newly added civilians. And watch your step on the newly added trip-wires. Los Craneos Rojos does not play around.
New Gear to Expand Avatar & Loadout Customization:
New avatars and cosmetics to expand Avatar Customization even further! Police labeled plate-carriers, kneepads, new helmets, LEO, Sheriff, SWAT and Hawaiian shirt variations will all be at your disposal.
Available at launch:
FAL Rifle
G45 Pistol

Law Enforcement Officer Avatar
Sheriff Avatar
3 Police-Labeled Plate Carriers
