I’m working in UE for the first time in version 4.27.2 and I’m trying to replace the mesh of the in game vr hand controllers with my own custom models. I’ve found the this function “Replace Hand Mesh Component” in the documentation but it doesn’t seem to show up when I search for it in the editor.

Is there a different way to do this? Any help will be greatly appreciated! 🙂
