Knuckleblaster (Explosive Punch)

Add explosive power to your combos in ULTRAKILL with the Knuckleblaster. This short-range concussive blast clears small groups and adds punch.

The Knuckleblaster is the explosive evolution of your punch, transforming it into a short-range concussive blast. Its primary fire launches a small, explosive projectile that deals moderate damage and has a small area of effect. This is useful for clearing out small groups of enemies at close range or for adding a bit of extra punch to your melee combos. However, its true potential is unlocked with its alt-fire.

The alt-fire of the Knuckleblaster is the Explosive Punch. This is a powerful, close-quarters blast that deals significant damage and knocks enemies back. It's an excellent tool for creating space, interrupting powerful enemy attacks, or for finishing off a group of weakened foes. The Explosive Punch has a short charge time, allowing for quick deployment in the heat of battle. Mastering the Knuckleblaster involves understanding its effective range and using its explosive force to control the battlefield.

The Knuckleblaster is particularly effective when combined with other weapons. For instance, you can use the Shotgun to stagger an enemy and then immediately follow up with an Explosive Punch to send them flying or finish them off. It's also a great way to deal with enemies that get too close, providing a quick and powerful deterrent. When facing multiple enemies clustered together, a well-placed Explosive Punch can clear them out efficiently. Remember that the Knuckleblaster's explosive nature can also damage you if you're too close, so be mindful of your positioning when using its alt-fire.
