Projectile Boosts

Elevate your movement and combat in ULTRAKILL by mastering projectile boosts. Leverage projectile momentum for incredible speed and daring aerial maneuvers.

In the hyper-kinetic world of ULTRAKILL, mastering projectile boosts can elevate your movement and combat capabilities to an entirely new level. These techniques allow you to leverage the momentum of your own projectiles, or those of your enemies, to achieve incredible speeds and perform daring maneuvers. Understanding and executing these boosts is a hallmark of advanced players.

The most common form of projectile boost involves using the Shotgun's primary fire, the Shotgun Blast. By firing the Shotgun directly behind you while in the air, you can propel yourself forward at a significant speed. This is often referred to as a "shotgun jump" or "rocket jump" in other games. It's an excellent way to quickly close distances, escape danger, or gain height.

The timing and angle of your Shotgun Blast are crucial. Firing directly backward will give you the most forward momentum. Firing at a slight angle can allow for directional boosts. Experiment with firing just as you jump or at the apex of your jump to find the optimal timing for maximum distance and control.

Another, more advanced, projectile boost involves using the Rocket Launcher's rockets. By firing a rocket at your feet or directly behind you while in the air, you can achieve even greater bursts of speed than with the Shotgun. This is a more powerful but also more dangerous technique, as a miscalculation can lead to self-damage.

The Malicious Revolver's alt-fire, the Homing Rocket, can also be used for a form of projectile boost, though it's less about raw speed and more about directional control. By firing a homing rocket and then quickly dashing in a desired direction, you can sometimes "ride" the rocket's trajectory for a short burst of assisted movement.

Beyond your own projectiles, you can also utilize enemy projectiles for boosts. For instance, if a Malicious Face fires its beam, you can sometimes use a well-timed dash or jump to position yourself in its path and gain a slight directional push. This is highly situational and requires precise timing and awareness.

Projectile boosting is not just about speed; it's also about control. Combining these boosts with your dash and slide mechanics allows for incredibly fluid and unpredictable movement. You can chain a shotgun boost into a slide, or a rocket jump into a dash, creating complex aerial maneuvers that can disorient enemies and allow you to dictate the pace of combat.

• Use the Shotgun Blast fired behind you for forward propulsion.
• Experiment with Shotgun Blast timing and angles for optimal boosts.
• Utilize the Rocket Launcher for more powerful, but riskier, boosts.
• Consider the Malicious Revolver's Homing Rocket for directional control.
• Learn to leverage enemy projectiles for situational boosts.
• Combine projectile boosts with dash and slide for advanced movement.
