What's the best vr headset for this game?

Vive & Rift are listed as officially supported on the Steam store page, but there are Windows Mixed Reality players. I've seen some people in game have issues playing with Rift (Getting strangely taller over time, certain functions not working properly), but I think those are issues with Rift+SteamVR & not Pavlov. I would say that it's mainly personal preference & budget that dictate which VR headset is best for Pavlov. All VR headsets generally perform at a similar level, with all having the possibility of quirks. You shouldn't really be at a disadvantage to players with a different headset, so long as you set it up properly & get used to using whichever one you buy. Physical fitness & full body coordination give much bigger advantages than any headset over another.

Edit: Well I guess technically something like the Vive Pro or the Pimax headsets would be the best due to highest resolutions & FOV, but they are much more expensive & require very strong PC hardware. So without budget or anything, those would be the best I suppose.

What few issues I had with an Oculus in this game pretty much disappeared with a few patches after the Oculus API was added.

Really, Vive or Rift, it's down to preference. I definitely prefer Oculus, though the Vive is much more competitive with Knuckles and (if you have a ridiculous amount of money to burn) the Pro than it was previously.

I would definitely say you should go with one of those two, either Oculus CV1 with the Touch or Vive & Knuckles.

My extra recommendation on the Oculus side of things is to buy a third sensor as soon as you can. Front facing mode is okay in this game, but overall a nuisance. A third sensor completely elminates this for $60 and includes a USB 2.0 extender.

Vive has the best support and the game was made for it

Oculus is supported, but can (and will) be supported better with the next update

WMR is supported in the fact that it plays off SteamVR and will hopefully have more support in the future
