You can use everything for your own project

you can use the characters and everything? I thought that was illegal? liek he is asking if he can use the level map and everything. i thought that was illegal to use a map epic made in your game or a character?
As far as I know you are allowed to use everything:

"Also, you can use all of the free Epic content in the marketplace commercially in any games you build with UE4. This includes all of the content residing in example projects. For example, all of the weapons, meshes, sounds and materials in Shooter Game. Tappy Chicken even! ://wiki.unrealengine/Common_Questions_and_Answers hope that helps "
