Quick start

Open MercenariesPack.uproject (or migrate Content/MercenariesPack into your project), open Maps/L_Overview_MercenariesPack and press Play.

To use other UE5 animations, create an IK Rig for SK_[CharacterName] and an IK Retargeter with source IK_Mannequin (steps in the documentation).

Full documentation (TXT): Content/MercenariesPack/Documentation in the Unreal Engine project and in the root of the FBX, GLB and Blender archives.

Update 12.11.2026

Hands reworked: all characters now have rigid hands, so the fingers can no longer tear, split or stick together in the retargeted animations; split seams between the fingers welded closed, small holes on the Heavy Assault Soldier gloves filled. Skeletons, physics assets, animations and textures unchanged.

Update 11.11.2026

Face textures of the characters cleaned up (no stray hair paint, smudges or seams on the face and forehead, eyes repaired, Cyberpunk Man face texture upscaled to 4K); skin weights smoothed around the neck, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips and knees for clean deformation through the full range of motion of the joints.

Update 10.11.2026

Hands of all characters checked and fixed (closed geometry, no holes between the fingers); Heavy Assault Soldier bind pose straightened; unused IK Rig assets removed; new preview video with the retargeted Epic Idle, Walk and Run animations.

Hands: all characters have rigid hands - fingers are not individually animated (finger bones are kept in the skeleton for Epic / Manny compatibility, the hand mesh is weighted to hand_l / hand_r). Tactical Operator has no finger bones.

Credits and AI disclosure

The models and textures were created with the help of generative AI tools. Rigging (Auto-Rig Pro), weights, the own animations and the Unreal setup were done by the publisher.

The only Epic Games content is the Third Person template demo animations, retargeted to these characters in the Unreal Engine project. No Epic meshes are included.

Preview images and video show the characters with the retargeted Epic demo animations (Idle, Walk, Run).
