HAUNTED Graveyard Chapter: Weapons and Positioning

Of all the nightmares in the game, the graveyard is the one that feels most like a shooter. The dead rise, you shoot back. This HAUNTED graveyard chapter guide sticks to what the game reveals: your weapons, the open graves and the need to hold your ground.

What the game tells us

The page puts it simply: fight the dead with pistols, shotguns and an AK-47 as the graves open around you. You also get real recoil, and you can upgrade every weapon in the shop between chapters. That is enough to sketch a plan.

Pick your anchor weapon

Three firearms means three styles. The pistol rewards precision, the shotgun rewards close-range confidence, and the AK-47 rewards steady, sustained aim. Choose an anchor weapon, the one you trust under stress, and learn it well rather than swapping constantly. If you are new to VR shooters, start with the pistol, which keeps your motions small and controllable.

Respect the recoil

Real recoil means the weapon moves in your hand. Rather than fighting it, brace with a slightly bent elbow and let your whole arm absorb the kick. Fire in short bursts rather than holding the trigger down; accuracy is worth more than volume. A strong, steady stance helps, so keep your feet shoulder-width apart.

Turn your body, not just your wrist

Graves open around you, so threats can come from any direction. Practise turning your whole body toward a sound. Your spatial audio is a radar: scrapes and whispers come from real directions in your room. Listening first and aiming second beats scanning blindly.

Spend your upgrades wisely

Between chapters you can upgrade every weapon. If the graveyard is your next stop, put upgrades into your anchor weapon first. A well-upgraded favourite beats three mediocre guns. You will see the benefits in the very next chapter.

Mind the real room

The graveyard fills your space with action, and the temptation is to back away or pivot. Stay inside your boundary. Keep furniture where Space Setup recorded it and keep the floor clear. Moving a chair after setup is a good way to end up fighting your own coffee table.

Keep an eye on your nerves

The dead rising in your living room is a lot. Gore and loud sounds are part of the package. If the pace gets overwhelming, lower your weapon, breathe and take the headset off. The progress you have made is stored on your headset.

Plan a two-weapon rhythm

If you want some variety, pair a close-range choice with a longer-range one and switch with intent, not panic. The shotgun suits graves right at your feet; the pistol or rifle suits ones farther away. Decide beforehand which role each plays.

See the HAUNTED page for the full arsenal, or grab the game from the Meta Horizon Store.

Rehearse the first thirty seconds

The opening of any combat chapter sets the tone. Before you start, decide which weapon is in your dominant hand, where your feet are, and which direction you will turn first. Players who enter with a plan stay steadier than those improvising from the first grave. Say it quietly if it helps: "anchor weapon, feet set, turn left first."

When things go wrong

If you are overwhelmed, step back toward the middle of your play area (not toward a wall) and reset your aim. Chasing every grave leaves gaps. It is better to handle the nearest threat cleanly than to snap at three. Keep your trigger discipline: short, deliberate bursts, then a check around you.

One last habit

After each exchange, drop your aim for a moment and breathe out. A relaxed arm recovers from recoil faster than a locked one, and short pauses stop your shoulders from burning out before the chapter ends.
