Gears of War - E-Day

SolKutTeR · 1. November 2026 um 17:18 Uhr

Ich habe zu meiner Schande noch kein Gears of War gespielt, da könnte die PCVR-Mod von Paul Taran @paultaran00 für Gears of War: E-Day genau das richtige sein, in dieses Universum mal einzutauchen.

Gears of War: E-Day VR (Early Access)
If you enjoy the mod, you can support its development on Ko-fi.

Warning
WORK IN PROGRESS: NOT A FINAL RELEASE. The mod is still in development. Expect bugs and unfinished features.

A full first-person VR mod for Gears of War: E-Day (PC), built on a patched UEVR by praydog.

CAMPAIGN ONLY. The game uses Easy Anti-Cheat; the launcher starts the game offline without it, for the single-player campaign. Using a modded game online can get your account banned.

Requirements

Gears of War: E-Day on Steam (the Xbox app version is untested). A legal copy.

A PC VR headset and SteamVR, with SteamVR set as the active OpenXR runtime (SteamVR > Settings > OpenXR).

Install

Download the latest zip from Releases and unzip it anywhere.

Run GoWEDay_VR.exe, pick the game folder or exe, tick Windowed if you want a window, press Start.

On the title screen, hold X (left controller) to enter offline mode.

In game, the mod's options are in VR SETTINGS in the pause menu. Insert on the keyboard opens the UEVR menu (advanced).

How to play
Buttons below are named by where they are on the controller: lower / upper face button and stick press. In VR SETTINGS > BUTTON MAPPING they show as LEFT X / LEFT Y / RIGHT A / RIGHT B (left lower / left upper / right lower / right upper). Everything here is for right-handed play. With PRIMARY HAND: LEFT in VR SETTINGS everything is mirrored.

Moving

Walk: left stick. You walk where your head looks.

Turn: right stick (smooth, or snap in VR SETTINGS).

Sprint: hold the left trigger while walking.

Dash / roadie run: press the left stick.

Jump / mantle / climb: left upper button.

Crouch: crouch for real. Marcus goes down with you, and enemies can't see you behind low cover.

Game cover: off by default (in VR you take cover with your body). You can put COVER (GAME) on any button in BUTTON MAPPING.

Interact (doors, pickups, mounted guns): left lower button, hold it when the game asks.

Pause menu: right upper button.

Tac-com and map: not on a button by default. Put TAC-COM (HOLD) and MAP on any button in BUTTON MAPPING. The map only opens in missions that have one.

Weapons

The weapon is in your right hand, the right trigger fires. Aim with the barrel; there is no crosshair.

Two hands: grab the front of the weapon with the left grip. It's steadier and more accurate (shotgun pellets spread half as much).

Pistol with two hands: cup the bottom of the grip with your left palm and squeeze the left grip.

Switch to the pistol: right grip at your right hip.

Rifle / shotgun from your back: right grip over your left shoulder. With two long weapons on your back, the first grab gives one, grab again for the other.

Put the weapon away (free right hand): right grip over your right shoulder. Do it again to take it back.

Laser: right stick press, or touch the laser switch on the side of the weapon with your left index finger and squeeze the left grip.

Melee: swing the weapon into an enemy, or punch with your left fist (left grip held, empty hand).

Reloading
Spare magazines and shells come from your chest: reach a little below your chin with the left hand and squeeze the left grip.

Magazine weapons:

Grab the magazine with the left grip and pull it out, or press the right lower button to drop it.

Take a new one from your chest.

Push it into the magazine well.

If you fired the weapon empty, pull the charging handle (pistol: the slide) back. Letting go of a magazine at your chest puts it back; dropping it anywhere else loses it.

Shotguns and launchers load one shell at a time: take a shell from your chest and push it into the loading port.

Gnasher: after each shot, pull the pump under the barrel forward. If you'd rather not, set SHOTGUN PUMP: AUTO in VR SETTINGS.

Longshot:

Lift the bolt, pull it back.

Put a round from your chest into the chamber.

Push the bolt forward and down. To aim, put your eye to the scope.

Breechshot: after each shot, pull the handle on the right side back.

Heavy weapons reload by themselves.

Handles, slides and pumps don't need a full pull: once it's far enough, the controller gives a short buzz.

Chainsaw (Chainsaw Lancer)
Grab the folded lever on the left side of the weapon with the left grip, it stands up. Pull it back to start the saw, pull again to stop. Push the running blade into an enemy.

Grenades

Take it: a grenade hangs on the right of your belt. Grab it with the left grip.

Arm it: the trigger of the hand holding it pulls the pin. You have 4 seconds.

Throw it: swing and let go of the grip. It flies as hard as you throw.

Put it back: let go before pulling the pin.

Mounted guns

Get on: hold the interact button next to the gun.

Aim and fire: aim with the right controller, fire with the right trigger.

Get off: hold the right upper button.

Tear it off and carry it: hold both grips and yank both hands up.

Menus
Point with the lasers from your controllers and click with a trigger. The right stick scrolls. On the title screen, hold the left lower button.

VR SETTINGS (pause menu, above SETTINGS):

PRIMARY HAND: right or left (left is in beta).

TURNING: smooth or snap, plus the snap angle.

SHOTGUN PUMP: manual, or auto (the Gnasher rechambers by itself).

BUTTON MAPPING: click an action, it shows WAITING FOR INPUT, then press the button you want. If that button was already used, the two actions swap. Press SPACE on the keyboard to set an action to NONE. RESET TO DEFAULTS brings the original layout back.

If something looks off

View behind your head, or too high or low: stand straight and recenter your headset. In UEVR's menu (Insert key) there's also Set Standing Height.

UEVR menu: the Insert key opens it (advanced).

Runs on OpenXR
The mod renders through OpenXR: it uses the OpenXR runtime you set active (for SteamVR: SteamVR > Settings > OpenXR > Set SteamVR as OpenXR Runtime).

Tip
For more FPS:

turn on DLSS or lower the graphics settings in the game's own options;

try OFXR-Bridge (a third-party tool by tig3rmast3r, not part of this mod).

What it does
The mod turns the campaign into a full first-person VR game:

You see the world through your character's eyes, with your own hands and body in VR.

Weapons are held and aimed with the motion controllers, with two-handed grips.

Physical interactions: reloading by hand, melee, the chainsaw, mounted guns.

Menus are used with laser pointers from the controllers.

A VR SETTINGS entry in the pause menu: primary hand, smooth or snap turning, button mapping.

It is built on a patched UEVR and runs on OpenXR.

Current status
The mod is a work in progress. Bugs and unfinished parts are expected.

So far it has been played and tested only as Marcus in the campaign. Other playable characters or sections may not work correctly yet.

Left-handed mode is in beta.

Tested on the Steam version only; the Xbox app version is untested.

A game update can break the mod until it is updated.

What changed in each version is in the Releases notes.
