Reload Time

Reload Time is the time it takes for a hero to reload their weapon's ammo count.

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.

Full Reload

Full reload weapons will reload the entire magazine at once. These weapons can be reloaded immediately after firing a shot.

Most heroes have full reload weapons.

Single Reload

SIngle reload weapons are reloaded one ammo unit at a time, and the reload can be interrupted before it's finished. The time to reload a full magazine depends on how much ammo was left before reloading.

These weapons have a 0.7s delay to start reloading after firing a shot, unlike full reload weapons.

Only Abrams and Fathom have single reload weapons.
