Fast answer
The answer before the background
Before changing a god of weapons save file, identify the platform, account, current version and last good timestamp. Steam advertises Steam Cloud, Xbox advertises cloud saves, and the May 2025 free update added in-run autosave. Stop launching on multiple devices, preserve local and cloud evidence, and use the platform's supported recovery tools before deleting, replacing or downloading any save.
Recovery order
Move from observation to reversible actions
| Step | Action | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Identify | Platform, account, version and last good time | Do not assume a Windows path applies to Xbox or PS5. |
| Preserve | Screenshot progress and back up accessible local data | Do not delete the folder to test a theory. |
| Compare | Check cloud and local timestamps | Do not overwrite the older copy blindly. |
| Repair | Verify files, update client and remove unsupported overlays | Do not import an unknown save. |
| Reset | Use supported in-game or platform flow after backup | Do not treat reset as troubleshooting's first step. |
Cloud conflict
The newest timestamp is not always the best progress
A crash, empty profile or accidental new run can become the newest file. When a platform presents a conflict, compare play time, achievements and progression rather than accepting the newest timestamp automatically. Disconnecting synchronization without a backup can make the conflict harder to understand.
The free-update autosave supports continuing a current run, but it also means a broken or unwanted state can be written automatically. Exit after preserving evidence and avoid repeated launches that create more versions. Use official support and platform documentation for restoration when the choice is unclear.
Delete and reset
Reset only when loss is the intended outcome
A delete-save search can mean starting over, fixing corruption or removing one run. Those are different tasks. First look for an in-game profile or progress control. If none exists, use the platform's documented storage interface and confirm whether cloud synchronization will restore the file or propagate the deletion.
Downloaded saves, editors and trainers can carry incompatible progression, executable payloads or achievements that the account did not earn. This site provides no path, save file or editing steps. If unknown software has already touched the game, remove it, verify official files and change any credentials entered outside the platform.
FAQ
Common questions
Where is the save location?
It depends on platform, user profile and current build. Use Steam or the platform's storage tools rather than a copied path from another edition.
Can I delete progress to restart?
Yes only through a supported flow after backing up and understanding whether cloud synchronization will restore or propagate the deletion.
Does the game autosave?
The developer's May 2025 free-update announcement says an autosave feature was added for current runs.
Should I download another player's save?
No. It can be incompatible, unsafe and destructive to achievements or cloud progress.
