Marketplace Listing



Documentation / Discord Server / Example Project / Changelog



Last Update: Nov 5, 2025 (6.2.1 for 5.5, 5.6, 5.7)



GAS Companion aims to be a general base for GAS powered projects without making any game design choices. The various parts of the system are intended to be subclassed and customized per project needs.



It includes the necessary initial C++ setup, helpers and additional features to get started on a new project that aims to use Epic's GAS plugin (used namely in Fortnite and Paragon, and showcased in Action RPG project)



It enables non C++ developers to work with GAS using only Blueprints. Even non BP friendly, c++ required parts of GAS like Gameplay Attributes can be handled with a custom C++ generation Wizard for Attribute Sets.



Similarly, GAS Companion can help existing projects that are considering the use of GAS and accelerate the implementation, or provide guidance.

• Support for Modular Gameplay and Game Features (5.0 / 4.27 only)
• Enhanced Input Integration (5.0 / 4.27 only)
• Provided as a Plugin to easily share code between projects
• Blueprint Friendly, no need to dive into the cpp side, you can implement Abilities right away
