Reload Time

Overview

Each weapon has either a full or single reload type. Using a Melee Attack or Dashing will interrupt the reload until the melee or dash animation is finished.

A notable exception is Billy, whose reload is not interrupted when performing a light melee attack.

Full Reload and Single Reload

Most heroes will reload their weapon’s entire magazine at once, with a consistent reload time regardless of ammo left.

Abrams‘ and Silver‘s weapons are reloaded one shell at a time, and the reload can be interrupted by firing their weapon before it’s finished. For these weapons, the time to reload a full magazine depends on how much ammo was left before reloading. These heroes also have a short delay to start reloading after firing their weapon.

Notes:

• Abrams and Silver take 3.17s and 2.1s to reload a full starting ammo clip, respectively (not counting reload delay).
• Silver (Transformed)‘s reload is incorrect, since she has no reload.

Items

There are several items that bypass reloading completely, and will instantly reload your weapon.

• Active Reload allows the player to skip 50% of the reload by adding a quick-time event in the reload bar. Active Reload’s activation window lasts 0.3s.
• Crushing Fists will restore 15% ammo on a light melee and 30% ammo on a heavy melee.
• Quicksilver Reload and Mercurial Magnum will reload the player’s weapon when using the ability imbued by this item.
• Vampiric Burst will cancel reloading and add 75% base ammo to the player’s clip, adding bonus ammo to any amount over the clip capacity.
