A Guide to VCR Events in “Rust,” “ARK,” and “GTA”: Highlights and Appeal for Newcomers

The gaming community VAULTROOM recently announced the launch of their next VCR event, “VCR Minecraft,” on September 13th, 2024. This marks the first time a VCR will take place on a Minecraft server, and with participants joining rapidly, fans are eager to see what unfolds in this new chapter.

For those unfamiliar with the term, a VCR (Vaultroom Crazy Raccoon) event is a limited-time gaming event hosted by VAULTROOM and the professional esports team Crazy Raccoon. It brings together a wide range of streamers—game commentators, VTubers, professional gamers, and even artists, actors, and manga creators—onto one server to explore new games. These events are known for creating unique interactions, drama, and engaging content over a period of 10 to 14 days, depending on the game.

If you’re new to the VCR experience, this article will guide you through some of the most exciting aspects of previous events like “VCR Rust,” “VCR ARK,” and “VCR GTA,” and what to look forward to in “VCR Minecraft.”

What Makes VCR Events So Special?

Each VCR event involves an open-world game, where streamers collaborate, compete, and create content together. With up to 100 streamers connected simultaneously, VCR events offer a unique dynamic, with storylines developing organically through gameplay. The magic of VCR lies in how it blends a range of personalities and playstyles into unforgettable moments of teamwork, rivalry, and hilarity.

While streamers may start on the same server, their goals can vary drastically. Some participants work together in tribes, while others act as solo agents, causing drama or unexpected alliances. This variety keeps viewers hooked, as streamers often cross paths in unpredictable ways.

Highlights from Past VCR Events

1. VCR RUST (2022)
   Setting: A post-apocalyptic world where players must rebuild civilization by gathering resources, crafting weapons, and surviving against the elements (and each other).
   One of the most iconic VCR events was set in the unforgiving world of Rust, where players had to gather rocks, trees, food, and water to survive. The highlight of “VCR Rust” was its scrap economy, where participants collected scrap currency and competed to accumulate the most before the server shut down.Memorable moments included:
   • Tribal Bonds: Streamers who joined tribes often developed deep friendships. In one emotional scene, a participant gave a tearful thanks to the tribe that accepted them, creating a heartwarming moment for viewers.
   • Creative Businesses: VTubers and illustrators contributed to the in-game economy by selling custom Yuri situation voices or taking orders for artwork. Others made money by creating in-game skins or running gacha lotteries for their custom items.
2. VCR ARK
   Setting: The prehistoric survival game ARK, where players tame dinosaurs and build thriving bases.
   In “VCR ARK,” participants could experience large-scale battles, dinosaur taming, and incredible base-building mechanics. Streamers worked in groups, strategizing to protect their bases from other tribes or tame the most fearsome creatures.Unique to “VCR ARK” was the element of strategy and long-term planning. Players had to secure resources, collaborate to manage their dinosaurs, and defend against raids. The dino taming races were a particular fan favorite, with streamers racing to catch rare species before their rivals.
3. VCR GTA
   Setting: The open-world crime game Grand Theft Auto V, where players engage in heists, car chases, and chaotic role-play.
   “VCR GTA” brought out the wildest side of the VCR events, as streamers took on criminal personas, participated in high-speed chases, and staged epic heists. It was a chaotic, action-packed event where creativity and role-playing were key.One memorable moment involved a streamer-led bank heist, where multiple teams coordinated a multi-stage robbery while being pursued by other players. The intense chase and comedic interactions became a highlight that kept fans talking for weeks.
