Our game does not involve guns, instead all the fighting happens with guard batons and various objects around the level such as glass bottles.
Bringing in a simple melee weapon was a fairly simple affair following this guide UDKC Melee Weapon
For my test, I have set the weapon to do 100 damage, killing the enemy straight away.
We may run into issues regarding animation as most melee weapon animations seem to use the taunt animations which would mean that even if no weapon was in the characters hands, it would still play the animation. This is not desirable for our burglar, who spends most of their time without a weapon.
It will do for now.
