WARDOGS: mortars, anti-air and vehicle weapons will not reload

Your rifle reloads, but mortars, anti-air or vehicle weapons do not respond? A Reddit report is now marked solved: the separate reload action lacked an assigned key. Another discussion documents the same repair. Checked: 23 September 2026. This is a community workaround.

Check first

Ask whether a teammate can reload the same weapon. Missing ammunition or a different operating position will not be fixed by changing a binding.

Targeted repair

• Fully close the game.
• Open %LOCALAPPDATA%\Wardogs\Saved\Config\WindowsClient in File Explorer.
• Back up GameUserSettings.ini, then open the original in a text editor.
• Search for Input.NamedActions.Vehicle.WeaponExtension.Reload.
• If it contains PrimaryKey=(bIsCustom=True), replace that expression only for this action with PrimaryKey=(Key=R,bIsCustom=True).

The affected list entry should then read:

((TagName="Input.NamedActions.Vehicle.WeaponExtension.Reload"), (PrimaryKey=(Key=R,bIsCustom=True)))

Preserve surrounding separators and parentheses. Save, launch and test reloading again.

If the entry already has a key

This specific cause does not fit. Avoid changing unrelated actions. If the repair fails, close the game and restore your backup. Reassigning R later may trigger the conflict again.

A full file reset also resets other settings. The targeted edit is sufficient for the reported empty entry; we have not tested it in game ourselves.
