Last week virtual reality (VR) developer Labrodex Studios released its second title, a wave shooter called Scraper: Gauntlet. Offering lots of action and customisation options the videogame continues the series originally started with 2018s Scraper: First Strike. VRFocus has teamed up with the studio to offer several of our lucky readers the chance to win both videogames in one awesome bundle.
In both titles you play a member of the Human Resistance Force (HRF), fighting a deadly war against the Humech’s, robot’s controlled by a powerful AI that doesn’t like humanity. While they are both first-person shooters (FPS) their gameplay is decidedly different. In Scraper: First Strike you pilot a Modified Hover Pod, a mobile weapons platform bristling with guns.
Inside this armoured weapons platform, you’re given free rein to explore the levels and hunt down enemies. With an 8 hour+ single-player campaign, Scraper: First Strike offers role-playing game (RPG) style elements, where you have to locate Blueprints to build new weapons, while the parts needed can be scavenged from robots and crates which can also be used to upgrade health and energy systems on the hover pod.
Scraper: Gauntlet, on the other hand, does away with all the exploration and concentrates on the action. The gameplay centres on a secret weapon codenamed TWS (Tri – Weapon System). Offering plenty of customisation options not only to its features but also the stats, Scraper: Gauntlet is all about finding your preferred loadout and shooting waves of robots. VRFocus gave the title a four-star review, saying: “If you’re after a VR title that’s big on adventure and elaborate quests then videogames like Stormland, Borderlands 2 VR, The Mage’s Tale, Asgard’s Wrath and others offer that sort of experience. However, when you can’t be bothered with all that fuss and want a pickup and play shooter Scraper: Gauntlet is a solid option with polished visuals and gameplay mechanics.”
So onto the competition. Today VRFocus is giving away Steam codes for Scraper: First Strike & Scraper: Gauntlet. There are multiple ways to enter the giveaway with the standard prize draw entry rules applying: Follow us (or already be following us) on Twitter or alternatively, visit our Facebook page or YouTube channel to get an entry for each. Winners will receive a code for both videogames, drawn randomly. The competition will be open until 11.59 pm GMT on Friday 28th February 2020. The draw will be made shortly thereafter. Best of luck.

These can be split into three groups, Stats, Mods and Mutators. The Stats offer your main upgrade paths such as fire rate, blast radius, shield regen and upping your health. The Mods, on the other hand, swap out your core guns for variants. Change the mini-gun to a shotgun, give the Pulsar a hair-trigger or dispense with the bouncing grenade and select the super useful and destructive Vortex Bombs (mini black holes). Lastly, the Mutators help to mix up the gameplay options in each level, enemies are more accurate, have better shields, spawn as elites straight away, you get the gist.
Last month the studio put out a call for beta testers and by the looks of it got a decent response. The beta was upgraded this week with a bunch of new features, graphical upgrades and performance tweaks.
First up are the level options. You’re not simply thrown into wave after wave of enemies, missions and their subsequent levels do offer choice. You can select one of three each time you’re in the lab, offering a mixture of waves, anywhere from 2 to 6 that 
Levels tend to consist of around 5-6 enemies and once a wave is complete a couple of options then appear for the following section, altering the difficultly for a fresh challenge.
