![]() ![]() From there you can search and install custom maps in-game. It’s pretty foolproof the “standard” mods are pre-selected for installation by default, so for a minimal setup just open ModAssistant, point it at your Beat Saber installation, and install the standard mod set. I personally lean more towards Steam so if I change headsets to something non-Facebook (like Valve’s rumored upcoming quest competitor), I can still play Beat Saber without a second purchase or weird hacks.įor installing mods, ModAssistant has worked well for me. Most people buy the Steam version, though either can work. I’m currently using a cable made by Cable Matters that works well. I wouldn’t personally recommend the official link cable - it’s expensive, and in my case it was flaky. It's fun, and it's convenient so I have no problem doing it for 45 minutes every day, and those are valuable attributes. However, I'm happy with where it's gotten me, and I intend to keep with it for the foreseeable future. I could feel my body improve a lot early on, but then it plateaued and I don't see an easy way to push it much farther. It also makes you use a wider range of muscles, which has stopped some of the RSI I was feeling from too many wrist flicks earlier. You only get about half the range of the normal sabers so you have to move your arms farther to reach the blocks. I've also turned the HUD off so I don't focus on my score, instead loosening up and having a good time. That all gets my heart pounding, and works a much wider range of muscles. ![]() Instead, I get my whole body into it - dancing the whole time, stepping to the side so I can take a wide swing, shakin' my butt to the groove. The best tracks for me are ones which aren't technically challenging. I can keep up fine, but I get lulled into using little wrist flicks instead of sweeping arcs. ![]() ![]() I don't find high difficulty levels to be great exercise. Yes, add-on maps are a necessity, not just for the challenge, but also to keep things interesting. I'm several months into using Beat Saber as an exercise routine. I'm adding a Tempo Move for some weight training, but I don't expect to give up Supernatural anytime soon, if ever! This never happened before VR in spite of time and money spent on professional services, products, and trainers. I'm headed towards a weight I haven't been since college, and it's clearly within reach. Over the last 12 months I've lost almost 60lbs, feel better, am stronger, and enjoy the process. I get to a target heart rate faster, and I've seen significant changes in my body since adding it. I was skeptical about the additon of Boxing to Supernatural, but it's become my fav mode. I was also surprised that with Supernatural specifically, the inclusion of a game mechanic that translates to squats and lunges means has translated to pretty significant increase in strength as well, even though it's "just" body weight exercises. I have become more mindful of my eating too. I focus on closing rings on my Apple watch. I take my Quest on vacation and do at least one session. I haven't missed a day since May 5th of 2021. I did one 5 song session (20 mins or so) and for the first time in my life I was dripping with sweat and thought to myself "that was fun as hell, I want to do another one." Last May I bought a Quest 2 specifically to try Supernatural, a mix of Beatsabre with a Pelaton-style experience with pre-recorded song-driven sessions. Never had a workout or fitness routine in my entire life except for a few brief and unsustained periods of working with a trainer, but quit. ![]()
