Into the Radius VR – Complete Guide for Beginners

Here’s a comprehensive guide to the essential basics for your playthrough of Into The Radius. In many survival games, paying attention to small details can significantly ease your progress and prevent roadblocks. These details include having the necessary items and maintaining sufficient resources. مع هذا الدليل, my aim is to assist newcomers in avoiding potential issues and ensuring a smoother gaming experience.

Guns

Let’s start with the fun part!

الآن, we’ll talk about basic gun mechanics and how to use them effectively for self-defense.

In VR games, treat guns like you would in real life. Keep the safety on, don’t press the trigger button until you’re ready to shoot, and never point the gun at yourself or anything you don’t want to harm. Remember these rules as we move forward.

Before leaving your base, ensure your gun is loaded. Bring enough magazines and ammo for your missions, using your judgment on the amount needed. It’s better to overprepare than underprepare.

When using your gun, start by checking and turning off the safety when ready to shoot. Find the safety on the left side under the gun slide or in front of the trigger. If not done at the base, load a bullet into the chamber. Check if a bullet is already loaded by gently pulling the slide back. Don’t pull it too far, or you’ll drop the bullet. If a bullet is in the chamber, you’re ready to shoot.

Aim your gun comfortably, but treat it like a real gun in VR for accuracy and survival. Extend both arms in front, don’t lock your elbows, and aim down the sights with either your left or right eye. This helps maintain accuracy and avoid perception issues when looking through different eyes. Once your target is in sight, fire your weapon until the target is neutralized. If using an automatic weapon, fire one shot at a time for accuracy and to avoid wasting ammunition.

Knives

Weapons are crucial for surviving in the Radius, but guns aren’t the only tools for your survival. Knives can be highly effective in various situations, and here are some key examples of how they can be useful.

1. After destroying a fragment’s form, it reveals a black orb that must be destroyed to permanently get rid of it. Once you’ve used your gun to take down its base form, switch to your knife to finish it off while it’s temporarily immobilized.
2. If you’ve become more skilled in the game, you can try throwing your knife at fragments. This can be especially helpful early in the game, saving ammo repair costs on guns and avoiding attracting unwanted attention until you can get a silencer for your gun.
3. Handling spawns is straightforward. Instead of wasting ammo, sidestep as it approaches you. When it launches itself at you and misses, it becomes briefly immobilized, giving you the perfect chance to strike it once or twice with your knife to defeat it. بدلاً عن ذلك, pointing your knife at a spawn as it launches can often impale it, though you might still take some damage.
4. Knives are essential for eating canned food. Always keep at least one knife with you when exploring, ensuring you’re not stranded in the middle of the Radius with food you can’t eat.

نهب

Exploring the Radius offers tons of items, and here we’ll discuss effective methods to find them and where they’re located.

You don’t need missions to explore the Radius and loot, but it’s highly recommended. While on your way to your destination, search the surroundings for ammunition, طعام, medical supplies, gun cleaning supplies, البنادق, and valuable items. Looting is up to you, but be mindful of being over encumbered at 50 kg = 110 lbs. The most effective way is to stock what you need and sell extras later. على سبيل المثال, gather what you need, stock up at your base, and sell what you don’t.

Explore buildings, furniture, vehicles, and bodies for loot. Buildings often have shelves, weapon crates, and caches with valuable loot. Check filing cabinets, dressers, bread boxes, beds, and cupboards. Vehicles may contain flares, smoke grenades, and ammo, especially larger ones.

Dead explorers around the Radius may leave behind ammunition. While not always a lot, it’s worth checking for some extra bullets.

الآن, let’s focus on looting guns. Bringing guns back to your base can be challenging, especially late game. Early on, with just a pistol, carry one on your back and another in your backpack. لاحقاً, when finding extra guns or carrying too much weight:

1. Temporarily place extra weapons in a nearby hideout for later retrieval (لن يختفيوا).
2. Carry one large weapon in your off hand and another in your main hand. Drop the off hand if enemies appear.
3. If the path home is clear, carry two additional guns in both hands on the way back.
4. When over encumbered, throw one or both weapons ahead to briefly reduce carry weight. Sprint a few feet at a time for a faster return.

يتذكر, only pistols can go in your backpack; larger guns need to be in your hand, on your back, or on the side of your backpack.

Relics

Exploring the Radius unveils many relics, the best way to make money in the game. Most relics hide in dangerous anomaly zones, but with practice, you can navigate them and find valuable treasures.

To locate relics, use probes to detect them and rely on your relic locator. The locator blinks faster as you get closer and turns green when facing the relic’s direction. There are four main anomalies to be cautious of:

1. Distortion Anomaly: Glows light blue, constantly damaging you inside.

2. Reflector Anomaly: Launches you away, damaging and potentially exposing you to other dangers. Be cautious launching probes; they can be shot back at you.

3. Lightning Anomaly: Almost invisible, inflicts tremendous damage. Continuously use probes to locate a safe path and be wary as they make you drop items upon impact.

4. Haze Anomaly: Easy to avoid damage with a gas mask. Not much to worry about.

Selling Items

Regarding selling items, decide what to keep or sell. To maximize earnings, sell items you won’t need. Before selling guns or magazines, spend a few minutes cleaning them (anything not in red condition) and removing any necessary ammunition. Shotguns and weapon mags often have loaded ammo for you to take. Consider selling packs of cigarettes, weather monitors, and camera traps as alternative income sources.

Hostiles

Encountering various enemies in the Radius requires specific strategies. Let’s understand how to face them effectively:

1. Fragments

Fragments are best dealt with by shooting them with your gun until they break apart and reveal a black orb. If they’re slow and noisy, you can use your knife on them, especially the ones with armor, which are best handled with a gun using armor-piercing ammo and finished off with a knife.

2. Phantoms

Phantoms are hard to see but easy to kill. They don’t have an armored version and die instantly when attacked.

3. Mimic police

Mimic cops, the first mimics you encounter, are manageable. They carry pistols, and there’s an armored variant. Find cover to avoid their accurate shots, and take them out during their reload. Suppressing fire may decrease their accuracy.

4. Mimic commando

Similar to mimic police but with stronger weapons, mimic commandos can be deadly. Keep your distance, fire from behind cover during their reloads, and watch out for the armored variant.

5. Mimic soldiers

Armed with sniper rifles, mimic soldiers are extremely dangerous. It’s best to eliminate them before they spot you. If they’re in a watchtower, rush up quickly, climb the ladder, and blindly shoot inside to kill them safely.

6. Seeker

Seekers are fast and quiet, surprising you when they strike. Stay vigilant as they approach, and kill them with a few shots. Be aware of the armored variant.

7. تفرخ

Spawns, أو “squigglies,” are fast creatures that jump to hurt you. Strafe, wait for them to pounce, dodge, and stab, as mentioned in the knife segment.

8. Slider

Sliders are the most terrifying enemies, teleporting across the map and surprising you through walls. Back away, keep shooting, and they’ll eventually die. They don’t have an armored variant.

9. BTR

Encountered in a specific area, the BTR is an invincible enemy with a spot light. Avoid its sight, stay behind cover, and don’t attempt to attack it.

10. Scythe anomaly

A large circular ripple that moves can instantly kill you. It’s easy to avoid unless you intentionally touch it; most locations won’t hit you.

11. Stomper anomaly

Stomper makes loud stomping noises and kicks up dust with each step. It’s easy to avoid by keeping your distance; it doesn’t follow a specific path but stays within certain locations.

12. Web anomaly

Found in forests or buildings, the web anomaly acts like a damaging spider web. Monitor your health, and ensure the damage won’t be fatal.

13. Grass anomaly

Simple but tedious, grass anomalies block paths in buildings. Use a flashlight to make them briefly hide, allowing you to pass safely without harm.

ملحوظات

While not all notes are helpful, some of them share valuable stash locations that hold either lots of money or items that can save you money. Reading these notes can lead you to discover high-quality weapons in different places. Apart from loot, notes also provide useful tips for surviving in the area. They share the experiences of explorers who came before you. If you want to know more about the world, make sure to collect and bring back all the notes you find to read at your base.

Organization

Knowing the location of all your items is essential, and how you organize them is a personal choice. Each person can decide what works best based on their play style, preferences, or just for cosmetic reasons. لكن, it’s crucial not to let the organization become chaotic. Taking the time to set things up properly will be beneficial in the long run. من هنا, you can avoid accidental mishaps, like firing a grenade when you didn’t mean to.
