After doing a lot of research i’ve written down all the animations I should need and downloaded the corresponding animations on Mixamo for basic walking, running and jumping.
I’ve had a couple issues bringing them into Unreal but this was fixed by making sure all the animations were set to ‘in place’ and ‘no skin’ and then when importing into unreal I just had to make sure I was importing just the animation and that it was set to the pirate rig.
