Where Are Broken Arrow Save Files Located?

Broken Arrow saves campaigns in a storage subfolder under the SteelBalalaikaStudio LocalLow tree.

Last updated

Broken Arrow nests its saves one level deeper than most Unity games: inside a storage folder under SteelBalalaikaStudio/BrokenArrow in LocalLow. The parent folder holds configuration, so the two levels serve different backup needs.

Copy just the storage folder to preserve campaigns, or the whole BrokenArrow tree to include settings. Steam Cloud syncs the game, which covers most players, but Early Access patches make manual copies wise before big updates.

Frequently asked questions

Which Broken Arrow folder do I back up?

The storage subfolder for campaigns, or the whole BrokenArrow folder to include settings. The distinction matters when restoring onto a fresh install.

Does Broken Arrow support Steam Cloud?

Yes. Cloud covers the save tree, but Early Access updates have historically been the riskiest moment, so keep a manual copy before patching.
