Where Are Boltgun 2 Save Files Located?
Boltgun 2 keeps .sav files in a Steam ID folder under AppData Local, the same Unreal layout the 2023 original used. Steam Cloud mirrors the folder.
Last updated
Auroch Digital's sequel runs on Unreal Engine 5 and saves in the same place the first Boltgun did: a Boltgun2 folder under AppData\Local, inside a subfolder named after your 64-bit Steam ID.
That ID folder is the part people miss. Open SaveGames and you will see a long number instead of anything readable, and that number is you. Leave it alone when backing up, and copy the whole folder rather than the newest .sav file. Steam's cloud configuration also lists a save copy inside the install folder, so if the AppData tree ever looks empty, check steamapps\common\Boltgun2 too.

Frequently asked questions
Where is the Boltgun 2 save file on PC?
In %LOCALAPPDATA%\Boltgun2\Saved\SaveGames, inside a folder named after your 64-bit Steam ID. Paste %LOCALAPPDATA% into the Explorer address bar and open the Boltgun2 folder.
Is the Boltgun 2 save in Documents?
No. Everything sits under AppData\Local in the Boltgun2 folder. Guides that point at Documents or My Games for this game are repeating a different game's path.
Does Boltgun 2 support Steam Cloud?
Yes. .sav files in the SaveGames tree sync through Steam on launch and exit, so a half-written save can overwrite a good cloud copy. Keep an offline backup of the folder.
