RoboRevive
This is a Robo Recall mod that adds native Vive support. It's called RoboRevive, but it doesn't actually use the Revive compatibility layer itself. Instead it uses the native SteamVR plugin from the Unreal Engine.

The full version of the game is available from Oculus Home.

FAQ
How do I turn the sticky grip button mode on/off?
By default RoboRevive will use a hybrid sticky grip that will toggle the grip if the button is released within a 500ms window. You can customize this behaviour by installing OpenVR-AdvancedSettings in the Revive tab. If you do not have Revive installed you will need to enable Force Revive Page in the Settings tab.
Note: Having Revive installed will cause the sticky grip to be turned off by default, you can re-enable it using OpenVR-AdvancedSettings as described above.
Can I still participate in the leaderboards and play the story mode while using this mod?
Yes you can! RoboRevive is a code-only mod and does not need to be enabled through the mod menu like other content mods. Therefore you can participate in the leadboards and the story mode like normal.
Why do I still see Oculus Touch controllers sometimes?
Unfortunately it's not possible to change these models in a code-only mod like RoboRevive.
Do I need to have Revive installed?
No, this mod does not require any part of Revive to work.
Do I need to have the Oculus software installed?
The Oculus Store is the only place where you can purchase and download Robo Recall, thus you will need to have it installed.
The installer also expects the Oculus software to be installed or else it will not be able to detect Robo Recall.
