Vertigo 2 motion sickness: what to expect
Steam publishes no per-title comfort rating for Vertigo 2, but the store page itself advertises teleport alongside smooth locomotion, and the name is a warning and a joke at the same time.

Where the comfort work matters in Vertigo 2
A cult single player shooter that treats comfort options as a selling point: the store text lists its movement modes up front. The linked thread is a player who can only play VR with teleport asking how to switch it on, which is the happy version of these threads: the option exists and the question is where.
