Precise Weapon Reload States
( FP's Overwatch Strategy Guide )
Why is it important to know the exact time of reload?
Some abilities and all melee attacks will interrupt the reload animation and
actual reload if it didn't complete in time. So you can always cancel a reload
if you need to use an ability or melee someone to finish them off quickly
instead. But this also means you may miss the point of actual reload. You should
memorize exactly when a gun gets reloaded vs how the gun sounded and looked at
that exact time. I highly recommend using sound as the main cue for knowing
exactly when you have reloaded (at least on most guns), but memorizing both the
visual state of the gun and the actual sound at time of reload is key. You
can practice
this by just shooting and looking at your ammo count and gun animation at the
same time. Find out where it barely makes the reload before it gets canceled out
by an ability (or melee attack). This will allow you to be more proficient at
reloading and then getting back to the fight ASAP.
The reload states video above should also help you understand these precise reload frame animations.
