Pavlov is a multiplayer shooter designed for virtual reality, set across modern and World War II settings. Its community-oriented structure offers different ways to start or find a match, including quick-start lobbies hosted by the developer and dedicated servers run by the community. That blend places player-run spaces alongside an in-game matchmaking option.
The game features Search and Destroy, Deathmatch, King of the Hill, and Gun Game. Its combat options also include tanks that require multiple crew members and are operated with a focus on realism. Proximity voice chat and radio communication give players ways to coordinate, while bots provide another combat option. For practice or offline play, Pavlov includes a training range, a killhouse, and an offline mode.
Community customization extends beyond match choice: Pavlov supports custom maps through a modkit and also allows custom game modes. Those tools contribute to a design that brings together varied settings, established shooter formats, and community-created content. The result is a VR multiplayer shooter whose identity is shaped not only by its built-in modes, but also by the scope for player-made maps and modes.
