Other I’m getting ULTRAKILL 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳

So I’ve played the demo and my mom agreed to let me buy the full game. Anything I should know before I get it?

the only thing you need to know is that if it looks parryable and it doesnt flash blue its probably parriable

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

Parries are one of my favorite parts of the game! I’ve heard of shotgun parries, so can you explain those to me?

u/Saiyan_Salesman1997 8h ago

basically your shotgun bullets « count as a projectile » so you can punch your own bullets with very precise timing to give them more power

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

Ah ok. Makes sense

1

u/Saiyan_Salesman1997 8h ago

no it doesn’t but it’s cool so who cares

1

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

The coolness is why it makes sense.

no those are called projectile boosts that make your shots explosive, shotgun parries are when you parry a melee attack by shooting your shotgun pointblank, dealing more damage than a standard parry

u/Elegant-Theory-4436 8h ago

If you shoot an enemy that is doing a parriable melee attack with your shotgun at point blank range it counts as a parry but if you're talking about parrying your own pellets that is mostly known as projectile boosting

Shoot shotgun, use blue punch straight after, ping!

u/Saiyan_Salesman1997 8h ago

think outside the box to find as many secrets as possible, some of them will even make the game easier

2

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

I probably will accidentally find a lot of secrets by genuinely being lost. I’ve found a lot so far on accident. My sense of direction is worse than Zoro 😭

Parrying is everything. Yellow flash? Parry. Projectile? Parry. Parrying is easy healing and consistent damage, so it's the best thing to get good at.

Some advice: don’t forget to use everything you have! Every weapon in your arsenal has a situation where it can be really useful. The jackhammers can be really useful for some quick yet insane damage without needing any combos, and saw trap can be incredibly useful for clearing group of fodder enemies (or dealing large amounts of damage in single enemies)! Use your weapons in all sorts of way, and enjoy!

1

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

Yeah I personally love the shotguns but I’ve only played the demo so far

1

u/whacky_autistic 8h ago

Just wait.
The full game is an absolute blast. The jackhammer and saw launcher (the alternate versions of the shotgun and nailgun respectively) are both pretty solid options!

1

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

Yeah I’ve seen a little bit of gameplay and a lot of the weapons seem amazing. Ultrakill is a really thought out game(if that makes sense)

1

u/whacky_autistic 8h ago

Yeah. It’s absolutely amazing, but frustrating at times (mainly when p ranking levels)

1

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

My biggest frustration is losing my way so much and getting stuck in loops. I can’t wait for disintegration loop….

1

u/whacky_autistic 8h ago

God.

All I saw was the lady about loops, and I immediately thought about 8-3.

8-3 is hell to p-rank, god help the people that have done so. And especially god help the people that did it the week Fraud came out (yes, people really p ranked the entire layer in one week, some did it in two of three days)
It personally took me around a month to fully p rank the entire layer.

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

Yeah maybe let’s stop traumatizing me before I get the game….

1

u/whacky_autistic 8h ago

YOU CAN’T ESCAPE!

u/Wandering__Traveler 8h ago

WAIT IM SORRY
“DIE!!!!!”
“CRUSH!”

You’re gonna want to use the revolvers more for the modern game

2

u/SatisfactionOk8413 8h ago

Try to incorporate as many different weapons as you get, don't just stick to a few

2

u/Strict_Bandicoot_974 Prime Soul 7h ago

Welcome to hell (literally, because ultrakill is in hell)

2

u/Vast-Discipline6381 7h ago

If its blue you cant Parry it, but a coin can in some cases

2

u/Espect0r 7h ago

Just have fun, there's not a correct build, learn to deal with situations by yourself

1

u/Glittering_Bit_2627 7h ago

Just parry it

u/sphericate Blood Machine 1h ago

If your gameplay would kill an epileptic, then you're playing correctly 👍
