The retro VR shooter PROTON VR has a new update that makes its cyborg enemies seek cover and behave more tactically in squads. It also adds an inventory system that developer Sam Martins describes as “Alyx-style”, giving players somewhere to carry items such as grenades and syringes.
The November 9 update changes more than combat. Procedurally generated levels have been reworked, a rough wave-survival room has been added for testing, and the weapon-customisation shop has been overhauled.
PROTON VR is a single-player shooter in Steam Early Access. Its pixel-art science-fiction setting and replayable levels draw on the developer’s stated affection for 1990s action games and films.
