You need to specify what exactly is your problem instead of throwing all your bps here and expect us to guess what’s wrong. Replication is not a simple topic. There’s a lot of tutorials about unreal engine replication on youtube.

Is the Gun-actor being replicated? You can do this by selecting the root in the Blueprint. Make sure to check “Replicates” and “Replicates Movement”. ---

When you start equipping you must call it from the server, to replicate to all clients: Start equip -\> Switch Has autorithy -\> Authority -\> Start equipping \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ -\> Remote -\> Call Event that executes on server and that calls Start equip again -\> Start Equipping My suggestion is that you take some time to understand how the Server events and Multicast works and follow examples on youtube, testing with simple projects, before start venturing yourself in specific implementations. ---

You can start by looking how he made the logic in [this](https://youtu.be/OcBMXIHUMLQ?t=325) part of the video to replicate correctly. check this [video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chpi4R_5Om0), too, for an overview. ---

Show us what you’ve modified. Have you tried avoiding Multicast and making something similar to this: ![2222.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/4/8/48f7ba5571ae4bbe827c7973e40654d0c0eb7127.jpeg) As you can see, my Event Server Equip Weapon is not multicasting, it is set to “Run on server”. Another thing you should notice is that, as a Remote client, even after calling the Server Equip Weapon I pinned to Equip Weapon function in the sequence, for the client to run properly inside itself the animation, sound and effects that comes after. Otherwise it would run to everyone excepts to itself. ---

Didn’t get exactly what is your problem by your description, but try to make the same way I showed you, in the last picture, just after the InputAction WeaponSlot1 and test it. You can always debug or print in any part of the code to see which client(Server or Local) is calling the events/functions, like printing whenever you call the Equip Weapon function to see if the Server or the client is calling it. ---

Probably because your backpack variable is being taken from the server. Try this: Send your Backpack Weapons variable as an input parameter to SpawnWeaponsAndAssignSlots function, and don’t forget to include it in the Spawn Weapons and Assign Slots on Server event, too. What I see is that you are always using the Server Game instance reference, maybe if you send it via parameter to the function you will send correctly.
