Well it’s mimicking the new hand placement for the non-VR flashlight users (lens facing bottom of hand), so the idea is that you hold it in VR like they do in game (which isn’t actually ideal and only aesthetics).
Another issue I have is with the video cameras, they’re pretty broken in VR atm. I love the updated versions of them; using them as in form of a flashlight and playing like it’s Outlast adds some serious immersion and spooks. But the cameras stop working after a little bit, and half the time in order to get the screen to open on the side you have to take them in to the truck and walk back out.
Just a bit frustrating.
