Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 Save File Location

Last verified: 2026-10-01

Save file location (Windows (Steam)): %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames

Quick answer: On PC, Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 (Auroch Digital, Unreal Engine) follows the same convention as the original Boltgun (2023): your saves sit under %LOCALAPPDATA% in the game's Unreal project folder — C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames\<UserID>\ as .sav files. The original Boltgun used the verified path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun\Saved\SaveGames\<UserID>, and Boltgun 2 is built on the same engine family, so expect an analogous Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames tree. This is NOT in Documents and NOT in the Steam install folder. If the exact folder name differs at launch, open %LOCALAPPDATA%, sort by date modified, and look for the newest folder that contains a Saved\SaveGames tree. Steam Cloud mirrors these files and syncs on launch/exit, so a half-written .sav can overwrite your good cloud copy — copy the SaveGames folder before verifying files or moving PCs.

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun 2 is an Unreal Engine shooter from Auroch Digital, so — like the original Boltgun (2023) — your saves are not in Documents or the Steam install folder. They sit in the AppData\Local project folder under the UE Saved\SaveGames tree. Here is the exact PC path, how to open it, and how to back it up before a bad Steam Cloud sync.

Save file locations

Windows (Steam)
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames

Full default: C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames\<UserID>\ as .sav files (Unreal Engine tree). Paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into Explorer and open the Boltgun2 folder. Mirrors the verified original-Boltgun path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun\Saved\SaveGames.

AppData\Local (name variant)
%LOCALAPPDATA%

If a Boltgun2 folder is absent (UE titles sometimes ship under an internal codename), open %LOCALAPPDATA%, sort by date modified, and find the newest folder containing Saved\SaveGames.

Steam Cloud
Managed by the Steam client

The original Boltgun used Steam Cloud; Boltgun 2 is expected to as well. Steam syncs on launch/exit, so going online after a crash can pull an older cloud save over your newer local one.

Cloud saves

Boltgun 2 is expected to use Steam Cloud (as the original Boltgun did). Steam uploads your save on exit and downloads on launch, so a corrupted or half-written .sav can overwrite your good cloud copy on the next launch. Keep a manual copy of the %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames folder as your real backup, outside the game directory.

Cloud save conflict & platform recovery

The common loss is 'my progress rolled back' after a crash or a session on a second PC — Steam Cloud synced an older or half-written .sav over the newer local one.

  1. Before relaunching after a crash, copy %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames to a safe folder outside the game directory.
  2. In Steam, right-click Boltgun 2 → Properties → General and temporarily disable Steam Cloud, then launch to confirm which local save is correct.
  3. If the local copy is the good one, keep cloud off, verify the save in-game, then re-enable Steam Cloud so the good save uploads.

FAQ

Where is the Boltgun 2 save file on PC?

Expected at C:\Users\<you>\AppData\Local\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames\<UserID>\ as .sav files — the Unreal Engine location, mirroring the verified original-Boltgun path %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun\Saved\SaveGames. Not Documents, not the Steam install folder.

Does Boltgun 2 use cloud saves?

It is expected to use Steam Cloud, as the original Boltgun did. Steam syncs on launch and exit, so a bad local .sav can overwrite the good cloud copy — keep a manual copy of the SaveGames folder.

Why did my Boltgun 2 progress roll back?

Usually a Steam Cloud conflict after a crash or a session on a second PC: an older or half-written .sav won the sync. Restore your SaveGames backup, launch with cloud disabled to confirm, then re-enable cloud.
