Get Ready to Feel the BOOM: StrikerVR’s Mavrik Haptic Gun Brings Immersive Realism to Home VR
Forget clunky controllers– a new era of VR immersion is here. StrikerVR, a company known for its cutting-edge haptic peripherals used in arcade VR experiences, is bringing its powerful technology directly to consumers with the Mavrik, a haptic VR gun designed specifically for the Meta Quest 3 and Quest 3S.
Imagine dodging bullets in a virtual firefight and actually feeling the recoil of your weapon. That’s the promise of the Mavrik. StrikerVR is betting big on the future of immersive gaming, with pre-orders for the Mavrik now open, priced at $499.
Want to make it a holiday gift? The company is promising delivery in time for Christmas for the first 1,000 eager customers. Everyone else will need to wait until March 15, 2025.
"Doesn’t support all games out of the box, requiring developers to manually adopt support to their Quest 3 games."
But don’t worry, there are three games ready to go from day one: Tower Tag, a tactical esports title by Steinfatt GmbH, Laser Limbo, a mixed-reality FPS by freeroam.ar, and a third exciting title yet to be announced.
StrikerVR isn’t stopping there. They’re actively collaborating with developers to expand the Mavrik’s gaming library, with a constant stream of new releases planned throughout 2025.

The Mavrik isn’t just about the bang; it’s about the complete experience. It comes equipped with a picatinny accessory rail and a built-in Quest controller mount for accurate six-degrees-of-freedom tracking, ensuring your virtual movements are reflected with precision.
Looking ahead, StrikerVR has even more exciting plans in store. Next year, they’re planning an integrated tracking upgrade accessible through a removable top plate, and they’re aiming for official "Made for Meta" certification, putting the Mavrik alongside other top VR accessories like the D-Link’s VR Air Bridge.
While the company hasn’t revealed details about battery life or the specific haptic engines powering this incredible device, one thing is clear: the Mavrik is poised to revolutionize how we experience VR gaming at home.
Will you be ready to feel the difference?
