Unreal Engine 5.6 Top Down Shooter Template

Added 2025-07-31 07:09:56 +0000 UTC

Today I am going to update the Unreal Engine Top Down Shooter Template I have worked on into unreal engine 5.6 version. This project will contain everything we have worked on so far in the series including the top down mode and the third person mode. I will do some minor improvements to the top down camera system as well.

there are 13 different fully functioning weapons with all the sounds, muzzle flashes and damaging and can be used by both player and NPC AI characters.

Weapons:

- AK47

- M16

- MP5

- Machine Gun

- Uzi

- M1870 bolt action rifle

- Shotgun

- Sniper

- Pistol

- Revolver

- Crossbow

- Flamethrower

- Rocket Launcher

Apart from main weapons, there are 3 different grenade types

- Regular grenades

- Flashbangs/ Stun grenades

- Smoke grenades

And there are advanced AI behaviors implemented into NPC enemy character with support for multiple factions. That means, we can simulate a war between 2 or more factions with AI fighting both AI and player. There can be Ally and Enemy NPCs.

Also there are searchlight systems, helicopters, traps, explosive barrels, alarms and many more features that you would need to create a complete game.
