Overview
Warning – this guide may contain spoilers! I recommend trying to find the items first and only using this guide if you are really stuck. Here I am going to show you where you can unlock all the items & collectables in SteamVR Home. WIP
Intro
SteamVR Home is the default starting program for SteamVR, You can find the latest news and updates for SteamVR Home Here. If you want to get updates first, I recommend opting into SteamVR [beta]
By following this guide you will know everything about SteamVR collectables. Below I’m going to show you where you can find all the items from the quests. I will also explain trophies, weekly Geocaching Quests and other ways you can earn items in SteamVR Home.
UPDATING. Explaining Trophies
First I’ll explain the way trophies work and why some of them may look different.
————————————————————————————————–
Sadly I can’t properly update this section, trophies are completely bugged and wont load on accounts with large amounts of games… its probably not gonna be fixed anytime soon.
————————————————————————————————–
Badges change the trophy base design and achievements change the actual trophy design, below is a graph showing exactly what badge levels or % of achievements are required to change the design.
Main Quests (In-game Items) Pt. 1
