You can use a traditional gamepad or PSVR Aim controller to enable free movement, similar to the movement controls you experienced in DOOM (2016). The smooth turning option allows you to turn horizontally using the analog stick. You'll also be able to teleport, or enable burst movements to quickly rotate your view. The game also supports a 180 turn movement to allow you to quickly turn to defeat enemies behind you.

Why does the game sometimes look extremely blurry after loading into a level?

What do I do if I can’t move up or down in the menus sometimes?

Telefragging these volatile enemies will cause them to explode, which will cause player damage.

Why don’t I have the Max Ammo given from the Agent Cache Ammo Upgrade when I reloaded my checkpoint?

Reloading the checkpoint does not save the max ammo. To avoid losing this ammo, make sure to not reload the checkpoint until you get to the next combat arena and use the bonus ammo.

The upgrade is still there and the cache will disappear but you will not have the extra ammo that was given to you.

Why can’t I interact with Demon Destruction?

Demon Destruction is not an intractable in Doom VFR.

What do I do if the explosion from when I throw a Grenade away from myself causes an explosion that damages me?

When you throw the Grenade in Doom VFR, do not hold down the Grenade button again before the grenade thrown has exploded. This can cause a secondary explosion to happen to the player resulting in damage.

What do I do when my controls vibrate repeatedly and my vision goes black when I get close to a wall?

This is to let you know when you are getting close to being out of bounds in game. If you move away from the wall, your vision will clear and the vibration will stop.

Why can’t I find my save while playing on Ultra-Nightmare after exiting out on a level without being killed?

When playing on Ultra-Nightmare you cannot leave the game unless it is at the End of Level screen and the player must select “Save and Exit.” Exiting at any other time will cause the save game to be deleted.
