The Perfect Reload is a type of Active Reload, and can be used in Multiplayer for a much needed boost. The shots that have increased damage are shown as flashing ammo.
The damage per shot is also increased by around 8% for all ammunition returned to the weapon. The Perfect Reload is achieved when the reload bar at the top of the screen hits the solid white part of the bar, and pressing the reload button the second time will make the reloading process take less than half a second. Perfect Active Reload ' Nice!' - Marcus Fenix, upon making a Perfect Reload There are three types of Active Reload: A quick reload is performed once the progress bar meets the grey area of the meter, a Perfect Reload is performed by matching the bar with the solid white area, and a failed active reload is when the bar is stopped in the black area. But when the progress bar of the reload reaches the grey or white area of the meter, the player can press the right bumper again to attempt an active reload, which, depending on where the progress bar was stopped, reloads the gun a lot faster than a normal reload. By tapping the Right Bumper once, a player can manually reload their gun rather than wait for the current clip/magazine/projectile to run out of ammo. It is a minigame that changes the reloading mechanism of the held weapon.
Active Reload is a feature that was popularized by the Gears of War series.
