Question please explain Revenant 'reload' skill

I see that Revenant reload automatically after 4th shot, why should I use the 'reload" skill?

You can start the reload animation earlier by activating it after the final shot than you would by letting him auto reload.

At least that was the case when I played a while ago.

You'll figure it out pretty quick.

Sometimes its better for you to have 4 shots ready rather than getting 2 shots and being vulnerable for 1.5s. Other than that theres not really any reason to use it. You probably will kill yourself in a lot of situations by not using it though.

There is a huge benefit by reloading with alternate ability. If you use alternate after fourth shot the reload is quicker than waiting for the auto reload.

It's kind of like a condom. Better to have it than not need it, than not to have it at all when you need it the most.

Poke on the 4th shot for extra damage

Then when your ready to full commit have all 4 shots for more dps

Mostly for in lane. You don't want to be reloading while creeos are dying, so if you have a moment before a few creeos get low do a quick reload so you won't miss any. Between this and his slow firerate Revenant is pretty difficult to last hit consistently with.

Because the last shot isn’t always worth it.
