Best Shooting Games for the Oculus Quest 2022
By Sean Endicott published

The Oculus Quest 2 and Oculus Quest are practically built for shooting games. Their support for two Touch Controllers and the lack of wires or external hardware make them an excellent device for dodging bullets and firing at enemies. The Oculus Store has several titles that take advantage of this setup, ranging from post-apocalyptic zombie shooters to robot mauling mayhem. Here are some of the best Oculus Quest shooting games to buy right now.
Robo Recall: Unplugged
Robo Recall is a chaotic shooter where you have to "shut down" robots that have gone haywire. And by "shut down," I mean shoot, blast apart with a shotgun, or rip to pieces. You can block bullets with guns, blow robots apart, and rip a robot's head off and use its body as a weapon in this insane shooter.
Space Pirate Trainer
Space Pirate Trainer feels like an immersive VR version of Space Invaders mixed with a classic arcade shooter. You stand still and defend yourself from waves of enemies.
Superhot VR
This isn't a traditional fast-paced shooter. Instead, it's a slow-motion world where you can dodge bullets and plan your attack strategy to take out every enemy before getting hit.
Apex Construct
Rather than shooting guns, this game gives you a bow and arrow to battle robots. In addition to combat, it makes you solve puzzles as part of a story where you're the last human on the planet.
Dead and Buried II
This Western shooter lets you dual-wield classic firearms or use a slew of other weapons to shoot up the Wild West. It supports online multiplayer mode and can fill games with bots to make sure you don't have to wait for your next match.
Drop Dead: Dual Strike Edition
This title lets you shoot zombies with guns or maim them with axes, bats, and several other melee weapons. It's a great game to get out some aggression against the undead.
Gun Club VR
This shooter has a wide range of guns that you can use in firing ranges, shooting galleries, and several other environments. You can customize your weapons with scopes, stocks, and more.
Rec Room
Rec Room has a wide range of games you can play with people online, but one of the most fun is paintball. You can run around or teleport your way through games of capture the flag using paintball pistols, shotguns, and sniper rifles.
Sairento VR
Sairento VR was a highly anticipated addition to the Oculus Quest. Set in a reimagined futuristic Japan, you use slow-motion combat, quadruple jumps, and wall running to maneuver around enemies.
Arizona Sunshine VR
Arizona Sunshine shot onto the VR scene years ago and is now on the Oculus Quest. It's a thrilling zombie title based in the Wild West. Be ready for some jumping and your instincts to kick in.
Espire 1: VR Operative
FPS games aren't as common in VR as they should be, but Espire 1 helps close that gap a bit. It's a shooter that requires you to move with some stealth. For example, you can sneak up on people and say FREEZE to stop them in their tracks!
Death Lap
What's better than a racing game in VR? How about a racing game in VR that lets you shoot your opponents with Gatling guns and machine guns? You also have to avoid giant tacks and obstacles in this thrilling racer.
Pistol Whip
This rhythmic shooter brings the action to you. You shoot, dodge, dance, and defeat enemies to the rhythm of music to feel like you're in an action movie.
Population: One VR
This shooter has a unique vertical combat system. In it, you can run, climb, and fire away at your enemies. It supports online gameplay, so you can play with your friends.
Blaston
In this competitive combat title, you face other players in slow-motion bullet combat. You'll have to dodge, dive, and fire your way through duels to show that you're the best.
Ready, aim, fire!
The Oculus Quest has a wide range of shooters. You can play less violent shooting games like paintball within Rec Room or blow off zombies' limbs in games like Dead and Buried II. The Touch Controllers track well enough that you can accurately aim at opponents. Their triggers make it natural to shoot down your enemies. If you want to enhance your VR shooting experience, you should pick up some of the best Oculus Quest 2 accessories.
The first shooting game I'd recommend on the Oculus Quest is Robo Recall: Unplugged. It's a frantic shooter that lets you rip robots apart and blow machines up with shotguns and other weapons. It's incredible on the Oculus Quest because you can spin around and fight enemies freely. The controls are also natural, allowing you to reload and switch guns from virtual holsters on your hip and back.
Another great title is Space Pirate Trainer. It feels like an immersive version of space invaders mixed with a classic arcade. It's an excellent display of the Oculus Quest's abilities as a shooting VR system and a great game to show your friends.
