Completely stock, beyond amazing game.
I recommend only one mod in the steam workshop that would actually improve gameplay and reduce repetitive arm motion: adding ammo and resin items to inventory by releasing your grip vs. slinging over left shoulder to your back pack. It could be disabled prior to loading game saves if you want that stock feel every now and then, although I liked it so much I left it on the whole game. 😁
Works perfect on quest 2. Not just the best VR game but one of the best games ever

I have a few questions for those experienced with this game. I see that there are a ton of free mods for this game, are there any mods that I should add BEFORE playing this for the first time or should the first play-through be completely stock?

Only "mod" I recommend is changing some of the locomotion in the settings to fit your preferences/motion sickness tolerance. Makes it more immersive if you can stomach the hybrid teleport and free walk

This was going to be my next question lol. I heard it was designed around the Index but if it's still a really good exp on the Quest 2 I'm getting it.

I have played several hours with air link and it's great. Just make sure you have a decent router. I haven't completed it so I can't say if there's any issue but so far so good.

It's probably the best VR game I've seen.

No problems at all, as someone mentioned if using air link make sure it's a wifi 6 router. I use a dedicated separate router just for VR.

I've played it over Air Link and Virtual Desktop with no issues on either. Only reason I like Virtual Desktop is that I can put on the headset and unlock my computer directly from the Oculus. If I wanted to use airlink I'd have to go upstairs to unlock my computer then put on the headset to play.

I've played a few hours already and this is an amazing deal at $30! It's an amazing and polished game, not to mention all the free mods that are available! I read a review that said after playing this game you'll kinda be disappointed playing anything else cause it won't look as good.
