What is TTT mode in Pavlov VR?
Trouble in Terrorist Town, popularly known as TTT, is a legendary multiplayer game mode in Pavlov VR that takes deception and betrayals to the next level. Originally a hit mod for Garry‘s Mod, TTT has found its true calling in virtual reality through Pavlov‘s intensely realistic weapon handling and tactical combat.
A Brief History of TTT
TTT has its origins as a custom game mode for Garry‘s Mod – the iconic sandbox game using Valve‘s Source engine. Building on the lackluster ‘traitor‘ mode in GMod, TTT dared to focus exclusively on the tension and paranoia from hidden traitors.
It refine the traitor concept with new roles, let players thoroughly search bodies and environments and even added its own twisted humor. TTT became a breakout hit, with dedicated servers hosting hundreds of players in this battle of wits.
Fast forward to today and Pavlov VR‘s version is considered the definitive TTT experience. The VR interactions push the deception and gunplay to new levels of immersion. Over 50% of Pavlov‘s 10K+ concurrent players are usually battling in TTT at any time!
Overview of Roles in TTT
TTT pits teammates against each other by assigning secret roles with opposing objectives. Players start out unaware of each others‘ roles, allowing the traitors to pretend to be innocent initially. Let‘s breakdown the various roles:
| Role | Objective | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| Innocent | Identify and kill the traitors | 70-90% |
| Traitor | Kill all innocents | 10-20% |
| Detective | Special innocent role to lead inquiry | 1 per 8 innocents |
| Jester | Trick innocents into killing you | Optional |
The uncertainty over how many traitors there are and who has gotten that role builds the deception. As players get eliminated, the remaining survivors become more suspicious of each other escalating the tension!
Why TTT Thrives in VR
Pavlov VR is all about realistic assault rifle handling, tactical team movement and hard punishing firefights. Layer the intrigue of hidden betrayers from TTT and you have heart-pounding action:
- Manipulating weapons and gadgets feels visceral thanks to hand presence
- Searching bodies means literally picking through virtual corpses
- Not knowing who to trust makes every stare down intense Mexican standoffs!
The freedom of virtual reality combined with scoped weapons leads to incredible emergent moments. As the round nears the end with few remaining, sweaty-palmed standoffs occur with fingers firmly on trigers, ready to fire at the slightest misstep.

Gameplay Tips for All Roles
I‘ve accumulated over 200 hours playing TTT in Pavlov across all roles. Here‘s some hard-earned tips to dominate as both traitor and innocent:
For Traitors
- Fake tasks like checking bodies or weapon crates early on
- Save credits for late-game gear like C4 and body armor
- Silent takedowns on lone innocents to avoid detection
For Innocents
- Stick close to larger groups in case of traitor ambushes
- Scope out nervous players that break off from groups
- Confirm traitor kills ASAP before they can lie
Sound tactics goes a long way but ultimately thinking creatively with Pavlov‘s interactive environments separates the champs from chumps. Now you have the complete picture on this legendary mode – get in the game already!
