Bring your combat to life with fully procedural physics-based hit reactions built entirely in Unreal Engine 5 Blueprints. This system uses UE5’s Physics Control component to create dynamic per-bone reactions that respond naturally to impacts without relying on pre-made hit animations.

Characters react in real time to gunshots, melee attacks, explosions, or custom impulses by applying force directly to impacted bones. The included setup initializes limb controls and body modifiers on BeginPlay, allowing the skeletal mesh to maintain stability while still reacting dynamically to incoming force.

The package also includes simple line trace examples demonstrating how to trigger hit reactions from gameplay events. A player-controlled trace example allows impacts to be tested directly in-game using keyboard input, making it easy to understand and integrate into existing projects.

Features:

• Fully procedural physics hit reactions

• Built using UE5 Physics Control

• Per-bone impulse system

• Blueprint-only implementation

• Directional impact reactions

• Easy to customize and expand

• Supports gameplay and cinematic use

• Example line trace actor included

• Player interaction trace example included

• Lightweight and modular setup

Important Setup Notes:

• Requires the Unreal Engine 5 Physics Control plugin

• Skeletal meshes should use a valid Physics Asset

• Mesh collision preset should be set to PhysicsBody

• Collision must be enabled as Query and Physics

Perfect for shooters, melee combat systems, action games, horror projects, and immersive physics-driven gameplay experiences.
