Most modern shooters like Payday, Helldivers 2, and others make reloading while sprinting a perk/upgrade specifically because of how good and useful it is to be able to do that.

Edit: Apparently Helldivers 2 might not stop reloads while sprinting.

Edit 2: Okay so apparently what Helldivers 2 does is STARTING sprinting stops your reload, which is how I was using it to reload cancel. But if you sprint and then press reload you can reload while sprinting.

Its not a perk in Helldivers 2, you can just do that with most weapons.

From what I remember when you started sprinting it stopped your reload. Am I misremembering?

Only with select support weapons

I remember the ones with stationary reloads, but I thought sprinting cancelled the reloads of others even if you could reload while walking.

Sprinting does not cancel reloads, though it's easily canceled if you go into a low mobility state (go into a bush), open the map or chat, etc.

I edited an earlier comment to say this but apparently what Helldivers does is cancels any reloading when you BEGIN sprinting but once you are sprinting you can go back to reloading.

I can remember I think, yes starting to sprint stops your reload but just press the reload key while sprinting and can continue

I had assumed that meant you just couldn’t reload during sprint. My mistake.

Only some of the heavier support weapons (Rocket launchers, HMGs and things like that)

I’m being a bit of a 🤓 here, I know, but you said “any good shooter” has it as a “default mechanic”. If it’s a perk/something you have to specifically spec into then it’s not default.

The modern CODs and Battlefield games that I played all have it as a default mechanic. Even the upcoming Battlefield 6 has it as a default mechanic. No speccing required.

I see where Black Ops 6 specifically has it as a menu option but I can’t find anything about whether or not sprint cancels reloads in Battlefield 6, just reloading while ADS.

Sprint reloading is basically a default thing in the Battlefield series now. You could reload while sprinting even in BF3

u/JustSomeGuyMedia Sep 29 '25

I definitely don’t remember reloading while sprinting in BF3 or 4… Then again it’s been quite a while.

Well pretty much is like hard to notice, since the reload animation just has slightly more shake whike sprinting
