Hidden Blades and Hidden Gun

READ THE INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE OR WATCH THE INSTALL VIDEO

This mod adds a fully functional hidden blade to the player's inventory in the form of a new weapon. Operated with the Middle Mouse Button, this hidden blade has a full retraction/extension system. The hidden blade can be equipped on it's own, or as a pair. You can swap hands while using it, and holster it on your belt, even if the blades are retracted. The retracted/extended state also affects the collisions, so when your blades are retracted, you can punch non-lethally.

The hidden gun is combined with the hidden blade, and can fire a single deadly shot. When your blades are retracted, hold the "1" key to aim your shot, and release to fire. If you have two hidden blades equipped, only the blade on the left wrist will have the hidden gun functionality.

Please refer to the attached video to learn more, and see the blades in action

Huge thanks to Luke, Goro and Smitor. This mod wouldn't have been possible without their ideas, help and frameworks.

UPDATE:  Incorrect setup of the weapon json meant that playing in progression mode would limit you to one hidden blade. This has been corrected by adding a spare hidden blade to the inventory. You can ignore this update if you were only using the mod for free mode

UPDATE 2:  Added an install tutorial video to the media tabs, will hopefully help with any confusion with the download process

CONTROL GUIDE:

- Retract/extend hidden blades by pressing Middle Mouse Button

- Hold "1" key to enable the aiming system

- Release the "1" key to fire the gun

- Blades must be retracted for the gun to function

INSTALLATION GUIDE:

This mod uses Luke's CustomWeapons framework to automatically place the weapon in your inventory. This framework is currently unreleased, but Luke has graciously given me permission to include it as a dependency in my weapon mods. Since the mod is unreleased, I cant plug it directly, but please show some love to some of his other mods, like Immersive Combat or Willify.

1. 

2. Extract the contents of the Zip into this folder. It may ask to overwrite some files, particularly if you have ue4ss installed already. Allow it to overwrite when asked.

3. When you open the game and look in your inventory, you should see a weapon called "Hidden Blade"
