How do I change weapon mesh in UE5.1?

How do I change the weapon mesh in UE5.1? I am using the first person prebuilt starter pack, but I want to change the weapon. I saw a video on youtube on how to fix it, but it doesn’t work on UE5.1 for some reason. It doesn’t let me change the skeletal mesh.

In BP_Pickup_Rifle’s event graph there is a node that is called “Add BP Weapon Component”, if you click on it you can change the Skeletal Mesh there to your desire. Hope it helps!

Yup that works, thanks!
