Please use the mirrored link to download the mod for now.

Thank you in advance for your patience.

PAYDAY 3 in VR through UEVR, with a fully rendered first-person model: arms, weapons, tools and animations.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Installation instructions:

1. Extract the zip anywhere. It does not need to be in the game folder. (If Windows warns about the .cmd files, right-click the zip > Properties > Unblock before extracting, or click "More info > Run anyway".)

2. Run "1 - INSTALL PAYDAY 3 VR.cmd". It downloads the exact UEVR nightly this was tested with from praydog's official GitHub (SHA-256 verified), installs the profile, and puts a "PAYDAY 3 VR" shortcut on your desktop.

3. Make your headset the active OpenXR runtime: Meta Quest Link app > Settings > General > "Set Meta Quest Link as active OpenXR Runtime", or SteamVR > Settings > Developer > "Set SteamVR as OpenXR runtime".

4. Headset on, Steam running, double-click "PAYDAY 3 VR". The game starts and UEVR injects itself about 25 seconds later. Windows asks for admin once — that is UEVR.

Updating from 1. 0? Extract 2. 0 and run "1 - INSTALL PAYDAY 3 VR.cmd" again. Launching alone keeps your old profile. Your previous profile is backed up automatically.

First launch after a game update crashes or hangs? Start PAYDAY 3 normally, wait for the main menu, then run "PAYDAY 3 VR". It injects straight away when the game is already running.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Already run UEVR? Download the profile-only file, press Insert > "Open Global Dir" (or go to %APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod) and extract the zip there, so you end up with a "PAYDAY3-Win64-Shipping" folder. Don't use "Import Config" with this file: UEVR names the profile after the zip's filename, so it won't load. You need a UEVR NIGHTLY build. The LUA API relies on it and it's not in the 1. 05 stable release.

Keys: Home = recenter view | PgUp = recenter horizon | End = reset standing origin | Insert = UEVR menu

- Weapon position: Insert > LuaLoader > Script UI has Pull-back, Height, Pitch and Yaw sliders (saved automatically). Defaults are 9. 8 cm back and 4. 2 cm down. Height/pitch/yaw ease back to 0 while you aim so the sights stay centred. Leave UEVR's own Camera offsets at 0, or they stack on top.

- Sights or arms clipping when aiming or reloading: Near Clip Plane ships enabled at 1 cm; try 0. 5 in Insert > Near Clip Plane.

- Performance: Insert > OpenXR > Resolution scale (ships at 0. 90).

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main features

- Full first-person rig in VR: arms, gloves, suit, weapons, tools, throwables, reload and interaction animations.

- NEW in 2. 0: adjustable weapon position (pull-back, height, pitch, yaw) live in the UEVR menu, and no more sight clipping when aiming.

- NEW in 2. 0: much lighter background work: only your character and its gear are checked, instead of every object on the map.

- One-click install: downloads and verifies UEVR, installs the profile, creates the launcher.

- Launcher starts the game through Steam and injects UEVR automatically — headset on, double-click, play.

- Tested profile: Native Stereo + Native Stereo Fix, decoupled pitch, 0. 90 resolution scale, Near Clip Plane 1 cm.

- No game files modified. Uninstaller included (removes profile and shortcut, backs up first).

Known limitations: PAYDAY 3 normally draws the weapon magnified about 2x (a 55° viewmodel FOV), and VR shows it at its true position; the script pulls it back toward you to compensate (adjust to taste with the sliders). No depth of field on the weapon. A game update can rename components or the TopPass property; if arms vanish after a patch, check %APPDATA%\UnrealVRMod\PAYDAY3-Win64-Shipping\log.txt for the " TopPass summary" line and post it in the comments or on GitHub (working on making that more robust).
