Atomic Heart
Swing Atomic Heart's melee weapons with your own arms in a full 6DoF UEVR profile that also covers both DLCs.
The catch: You must hold the right grip to aim before the trigger will fire.

Set your VR runtime
Pick your OpenXR runtime: the Meta Horizon Link app for Link or Air Link, Virtual Desktop's VDXR for Virtual Desktop, or SteamVR for Index, Beyond and Pico. The creator supports SteamVR too; if a later step says "start SteamVR or your VR runtime", this runtime is enough and you can skip SteamVR.
General step from us -
Install Atomic Heart (Steam)
Install it and launch it once in flat mode to finish first-time setup, then quit.

Stuck?
A German retailer guide says the game crashed on the default Atomic graphics preset on its test PC; lowering to High helped (older profile by other authors)
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Aiming needs Right Grip held; ranged weapons will not fire otherwise
Reported on the creator's page or the linked sources. Known issue
Black screen in the headset
This mod uses OpenXR. Check the active OpenXR runtime matches how you connect (the Set your VR runtime step), then start Link or Virtual Desktop before the game. General tip from us
Controllers don't show up
Start Link, Virtual Desktop or SteamVR before the game, and make sure the controllers are awake before launch. General tip from us
Stutter or low frame rate
Lower the in-game resolution or render scale first, then shadows and volumetrics. Close overlays you don't need. General tip from us
The mod didn't load at all
Recheck the game version against the creator's page; a game update is the most common cause. Then reinstall the mod files. General tip from us
