VR Gifts Under $50 and Under $100 (2026)

Meta put its headset prices up in April. The Quest 3S went from $300 to $350, the 256GB version from $400 to $450, and the 512GB Quest 3 jumped a full hundred dollars to $600, all of it blamed on memory chip costs. Accessories were left alone.

That changes what a good VR gift looks like this year. The person you are buying for is more likely to already own a headset than to be waiting for one, and the money you have to spend does not stretch as far as it did last Christmas. So this guide covers the two brackets people actually shop in, under $50 and under $100, for someone who already has the headset sitting on a shelf.

Who this guide is for

Every list of cheap VR gifts on the internet seems to end up recommending a $40 phone holder. This is not that list. Everything here works with a real headset that someone already owns, and most of it is aimed at people who play shooters, because that is what a gun stock is for.

Before you buy anything, find out one thing: which headset do they have. Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest 2, Quest Pro, Valve Index and PSVR2 all take different controller mounts, and a stock ordered for the wrong headset is a return rather than a present. If you cannot find out without giving the game away, a gift card starts at $25 and skips the problem entirely.

VR gifts under $50

The under $50 bracket splits three ways. Someone with no stock at all can get a real one. Someone who already has a stock can get parts that change how it plays. And then there is the small stuff that fills a stocking without anyone having to think about compatibility very hard.

A first gun stock, $24.99 to $31.99

Two of them land in this bracket. The Asset Solo Edition starts at $24.99 and mounts to the dominant hand only, so the off hand stays completely free. Four inches of length adjustment on a push button. It suits people who hate feeling boxed in by a two handed rig, and it is the cheapest stock Olen VR makes. Index and PSVR2 right hand builds are $28.99.

Above it, The Asset STKR Edition at $31.99. It weighs 0.7lb. That number matters more than it sounds like it should, because the complaint people have about stocks is not that they are inaccurate, it is that their arms get tired in the third hour of a team deathmatch session. The STKR is the answer to that complaint.

It is also the thinnest feature set in the range, which is the trade for the price. If the person you are buying for is a serious sim player who wants a cheek weld and repeatable pull force, skip it and read the under $100 section.

Parts for a stock they already own, $7.99 to $40.99

This is the best value bracket in the whole catalogue and almost nobody shops it, because you have to know what they already have. The MOD range bolts onto Asset builds:

VCTR MOD, $23.99. A cheek rest. Puts the eye in the same place every raise, which is the single biggest accuracy upgrade on the list.
CRIG MOD, $37.99 to $40.99. A chest harness so the stock hangs off the body rather than the arms.
SBS MOD, converts a Solo or STKR build into a two handed stock. Watch the option here: $18.99 buys the MOD on its own, and the versions that include the second controller mount are $29.99 on Quest or $31.99 on Index and PSVR2. Buying the $18.99 one by mistake is the most common ordering error in this range.
STKR MOD, $9.
MOD Allen key, $9.50, which is the least exciting present on this page and the one most likely to get used.

Grips are cheaper still. Slip Grips run $7.99 to $14.99 and Stat Grips $7.99 to $13.99. Both change how the controller sits in the hand, and both are the kind of thing people meant to order and never did.

Slings, stands and small things, $3.99 to $35.99

A sling is the upgrade people skip and then wish they had not, because it lets you let go of the rifle mid match without putting it on the floor. The single point sling is $24.99, the Warbull two point the same, the 2 point G-Stock $16.99, and the bungee sling for SPINE just $8.99. A QD swivel sling mount is $3.99, which makes it the cheapest thing on the site that does an actual job.

Stands get the stock off the floor and look like a deliberate present rather than a spare part. SPINE stands are $18.99, the Hybrid stand $22.99, and the Asset RGB stand $31.99 to $35.99 if you want the version that lights up.

Then there are weapon charms. The house charm is $4.99 and the wider range runs $4 to $10. Pure decoration, and the thing people add to the cart last.

Not a gun stock, still under $50

If the person already has a stock sorted, or plays something other than shooters:

Anti-slip controller straps for Quest 3 and 3S, $29.99
ZyberVR Quest 3 head strap, $46.99. The stock Meta strap is the most complained about part of the headset.
Quest 3 battery pack, two pack, $47.99
Quest 3 carry backpack, $49.99, for anyone who takes the headset to a friend's house
Yoges Quest 3 golf club, $42.99, which is the one item here that will get played by parents

Price ladder of Olen VR gifts under fifty dollars and under one hundred dollars

VR gifts under $100

At this level you are buying a full gun stock, and the choice is between three platforms that feel completely different. They are not ranked. They suit different people, and buying the wrong one for someone is worse than buying the cheap one.

The Asset, $57.99

The Asset in Onyx or Ghost is $57.99, and it covers more headsets than anything else in the range: Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro, PSVR2, Pimax Crystal and Steam Frame. Pick the headset at checkout and the matching mounts ship with it.

Modular too, so the MOD range above gives it a second life later. The SBS STKR Edition is $71.99 and the SBS Edition $77.99 if you want the side by side configuration out of the box.

LoPRO, $76

The LoPRO came out of feedback from competitive VAIL and Contractors players, and it is built around one idea: your hands should land in the same place every single time. Contoured stopper mags pull the controller into a fixed position, with a top stop that lets you drive real force into the shoulder. Three length positions across three inches, adjustable cheek weld, dual swivel sling mounts, 2lb, PLA+ body on black iron pipe with neodymium magnets and stainless hardware. Designed and manufactured in the USA.

Read this part before you buy it as a present. The LoPRO is designed for games with a physical gun stock calibration step, which means VAIL, Ghosts of Tabor, Onward, Contractors, Contractors Showdown: ExfilZone, Breachers, H3VR and Zero Caliber Reloaded. If the person you are buying for mostly plays something that does not have stock calibration, this is the wrong stock for them and the Asset is the right one. Anyone over six feet should get the Extended Edition from $86 instead.

SPINE, from $81.99

SPINE in Ghost or Onyx starts at $81.99, with Cherry Blossom, Crimson, Martian, Sandman and Smoke at $86.99 and the Chief edition from $96.99. It is 1.6lb, magnetic and needs no in game calibration. Eight colorways, which is the reason it gets bought as a gift more often than the others.

SPINE and LoPRO suit different players. SPINE snaps on magnetically and gets you into a game without a calibration step, which is what most people want. The LoPRO's stopper mags pull the controller into a fixed position and hold under harder pull, which is what a competitive player wants. Neither is the better stock in the abstract.

One thing to get right on SPINE that catches gift buyers out. It is sold in three fixed lengths, 24 inch, 26 inch and 28 inch, chosen at checkout rather than adjusted afterwards. Pick the size for their height, not yours.

Quest 3S owners have one more option: the SPINE Essential Pack from $99.99, which is the stock, the Quest 3S mounts, AMVR knuckle straps and a bungee sling in one box. The base size squeaks under the hundred by a penny. The longer sizes do not.

The best complete gift under $100

If you want one thing to add to a cart and stop thinking about it, the Asset Starter Pack for Quest 3 and 3S at $97.99 is it. Stock, leather controller straps, and a tactical sling that works as either single point or two point. Nothing else to order, nothing missing on Christmas morning.

Non stock picks under $100

PRISMXR Quest 3 charging dock, $69.99
Logitech G333 VR earbuds, $69.99
KIWI Design RGB charging dock, $81.99
Wearable neck battery pack, $94.99, for long sessions
VR streaming barstool, $69.99, which is a strange product that people who own one will not shut up about

Three complete setups, with the actual totals

Lists of products are easy. Working out what a whole setup costs is the part that catches people out, so here are three that add up properly. Every price below is the current site price on the base configuration.

Three Olen VR gift builds at fifty, seventy five and one hundred dollars with itemised totals

The $50 build: their first stock, $48.98

Asset STKR Edition, $31.99
2 point G-Stock sling, $16.99
QD swivel sling mount, $3.99

That is $52.97, so drop the swivel mount and you are at $48.98. Mounts for their headset come in the box with the stock, which is the thing people get wrong when they price this out. You do not buy those separately.

The $75 build: the accuracy setup, $72.97

Asset STKR Edition, $31.99
VCTR MOD cheek rest, $23.99
2 point G-Stock sling, $16.99

$72.97. This is the build for someone who already plays a lot and wants their aim to stop drifting. The cheek rest does more for accuracy per dollar than anything else in the catalogue, because a repeatable eye position is most of what a stock is for.

The $100 build, and a shipping trick worth knowing

US orders ship free at $100 and over. Under that it is $8 on UPS Ground Saver. So the Asset Starter Pack on its own at $97.99 costs $105.99 delivered, while the same pack plus a $3.99 QD swivel sling mount comes to $101.98 delivered. The bigger order is four dollars cheaper. Swap the swivel mount for a $4.99 weapon charm and you still come out $3.01 ahead.

Two Olen VR carts compared, showing that adding a small part to reach the free shipping threshold lowers the delivered total

That is not a trick so much as a threshold nobody checks before they hit pay. If your budget is a hundred dollars, spend all of it.

Which mount do they need

The controller attachments are called mounts. Get this bit right and nothing else about the order can really go wrong.

Olen VR mount compatibility chart across the Asset, SPINE and LoPRO gun stock platforms

The Asset covers Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro, PSVR2, Pimax Crystal and Steam Frame. Valve Index is offered on the Solo, SBS and SBS STKR editions but not on the base Asset or the STKR, which is worth checking before you order for an Index owner.
SPINE uses magnetic mounts and covers Quest 1 and Rift S, Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro, Index, PSVR2 and Steam Frame.
LoPRO uses magnetic stopper mags and covers Quest 1 and Rift S, Quest 2, Quest 3, Quest 3S, Quest Pro and Index. No PSVR2, no Steam Frame.
Upgrading headsets later means buying a mount, not a whole new stock. Mounts run $21.99 to $25.99 depending on the controller.

The Quest 3 mount was rebuilt recently. The old one used a screw and nut and broke often enough to be a nuisance. The current version is reinforced and uses a thumbscrew, so it goes on and comes off without a tool. If someone tells you an Olen mount snapped on them, they had the old part.

Every stock ships with the mounts for the chosen headset. The separate mounts listing exists for people who swap headsets or want a spare set, not for first time buyers. Slings vary by product, so check the listing: some include one, some offer it as a checkout option, and the Starter Pack and Essential Pack both come with one.

On Steam Frame, be careful with expectations. Valve launched it on 14 September at $1,059 for 256GB and $1,299 for 1TB, through a randomised reservation draw rather than open sale, and most people who signed up are still on a waitlist. Steam Frame stock options exist on the site as preorders. Nobody should be buying a stock for a headset that has not arrived yet.

Games these actually get used in

A stock is only worth owning if the games support it. These all do, and all of them run on standalone Quest or PCVR:

Ghosts of Tabor, extraction shooter, the one most stock owners put the hours into
Pavlov, the long running multiplayer shooter
Onward, slow, tactical, punishing
Breachers, five on five attack and defend
Contractors and Contractors Showdown: ExfilZone
VAIL VR, which is where a lot of the LoPRO design feedback came from

Want to see what a stock looks like in someone's hands before you spend anything? These are live now:

Before you order

US orders of $100 and over ship free. Under that, UPS Ground Saver is $8, 2nd Day Air $28, Next Day Air $47.
Olen VR ships worldwide. International rates are flat by zone, currently $38 or $42 on FedEx International Connect Plus for most countries, with local currency rates for Canada, the UK and Australia. The buyer covers VAT and customs.
Returns run 14 days with a 15% restocking fee on the product price, and return shipping is on the buyer. Worth knowing before you gift the wrong headset variant, which is the one mistake that is easy to make.
Order early. A stock that arrives on 26 December is not a Christmas present.

Questions people ask

What is the cheapest real VR gun stock?

The Asset Solo Edition, from $24.99. It mounts to the dominant hand only and leaves the other hand free, and it is a proper stock rather than a phone bracket.

Is a gun stock a good gift if I do not know much about VR?

Yes, with one condition: you need to know which headset they own, and whether they play shooters. Get those two right and it is one of the better gifts in VR, because almost nobody buys one for themselves early on. Get them wrong and it is a return with a restocking fee.

Do I need to buy controller mounts separately?

No. Every stock ships with the mounts for the headset you select. The separate mounts listing is for people swapping headsets or buying spares. Slings differ by product, so check the listing you are buying from.

What is the difference between the Asset, SPINE and LoPRO?

The Asset is the modular one, and it covers the widest spread of headsets including PSVR2, Pimax and Steam Frame, so it is the safest choice when you are not certain what someone owns. SPINE is magnetic, needs no in game calibration, weighs 1.6lb and comes in eight colorways. The LoPRO is the precision option with a cheek weld and stopper mags, it weighs 2lb, and it needs games that have a physical stock calibration step. Our VR gunstock buying guide walks through all ten models with current prices and a headset compatibility table.

What is a good VR gift under $50 for someone who already has a gun stock?

The VCTR cheek rest at $23.99, or a sling if they do not have one. Both change how the stock plays rather than sitting in a drawer.

Should I buy a gun stock for a Steam Frame?

Not yet. Valve is selling the Steam Frame through a reservation draw and most buyers are still waitlisted. Stock options for it are listed as preorders.

Where to start

Under $50, buy the Asset STKR at $31.99 if they have no stock, or the VCTR cheek rest at $23.99 if they do. Under $100, the Asset Starter Pack at $97.99 is the one that arrives complete, and adding a $3.99 swivel mount to it makes the shipping free and the total cheaper.

Still not sure what they own? A gift card from $25 is not the boring answer here. It is the one that does not come back as a return.
