- Oculus Touch - 7 December 2016
Today, Oculus Touch was released to the world and with it we're releasing a day one support patch! Make sure you update, because it brings a few fresh things for all headsets! Along side a few bug fixes and graphical improvements, you can now use your hands to teleport, attack and even use hand shields (hold grip button) to protect yourself from attacks. Remember, blocking projectiles might not help you gain action points, but it will help you save some time, as every projectile that hits you, costs you some time, use blocking when dodging is not possible!
