Hotfix 15b just came out and it included some changes that make some information in this video outdated so I want to pin this comment to go over any relavent changes and a few mistakes that I made in the video. FIRESTARTER - I was misinformed when I said that flaming enemies take 150% damage. This is only true for husks. The wiki page for fire simply stated "flaming enemies" and I assumed that to mean any enemy. Sorry for the confusion - The firetick damage on gasolined enemies has been buffed from 0.2 to 0.5 damage per tick (for reference a default revolver shot is 1 damage) - Gasoline ingnited underwater now creates yellow explosions - The door glitch has been patched JUMPSTART - Conduction now damages magnets caught in the arc ALTERNATE SHOTGUN "JACKHAMMER" - The cooldown on a max speed hit has been increased from 5 to 7 seconds - The damage on a max hit has been decreased from 12 to 10 damage. The biggest ramification for this is that a maximum speed hit will no longer 1 shot sentries (a knuckleblaster punch will still kill) - The cooldown on the core eject resetting when switching weapons has been patched

I like how v1 technically is going to have a minimum of 5 arms now. I swear hes gonna be a spider by the end of this if he gets one more new arm.

A quick note on Guttertanks: in lower difficulties, the oil will make them slip even if they make contact, which means they're a lot easier to parry to death because of it.

Riding a rocket just to slap something at a high speed with a jackhammer while doing so is probably one of the most Ultrakill things so far

Jackhammer’s hitstop + crisp sound effect is just perfect, I could play the whole game with just that weapon

Extra really important detail about the jumpstart, the nail damage bonus for it also applies to all enemies the electricity arcs to, dealing massive damage to every enemy caught in it

I love how each of these new weapons brought new combo ideas

About the jackhammer, you forgot one interaction Shooting a core / rocket into another core will make a core nuke, which means that if you know how to easily set one up, you can essentially have infinite nukes

slight correction: with the alt red shotgun, you can use the jackhammer AND the chainsaw at the same time, which isn't that useful in most cases but pretty fun i didnt know the alt red nailgun had function, so i will try that out. thanks man

Another thing to note about JumpStart, it'll discharge immediately if the connected enemy dies, and the cable remains whilst switching weapons. Jackhammer's red speed hit will also put it into cooldown for 5 seconds.

finally we have all of it, water, earth, fire, air, and fuckin magnets

2:50 cbt

You can coin core ejects now, this is a game changer (imagine combining that with a coin des malicious rail)

oh my lord. The sound design on the sawed-on shotgun makes me take out my wallet and binge shop ultrakill merchandise every time I hear it

I love the jackhammer :3 it is personally my favourite weapon in this update

This update is so fun. Thanks for explaining the red rocket launcher btw. I didn’t like it much at first. I also hope the red nail gun’s range is increased by a little bit

9:18 mauri-cious face

I fucking love the large hitstop of full power Jackhammer

BRO I CANNOT WAIT to get my hands on these, also love the meme's man. keep up the great work

Actually informative and nicely edited video. Well done, mate!

one thing i have noticed is that for the red shotgun you can do a semi projectile boost with the saw that does make it do a bit more damage (but not too much more)

i find the jackhammer very good for dealing with guttermen bc it breaks their sheld. Its very helpful!

I already loved red nailgun so much but now because of this video I just love it EVEN MORE

how to deal as much damage with the firestarter and tech now in your mind you think "oh I just have to cover the whole enemy with oil" WRONG to correctly deal as much damage to an enemy with the firestarter make a path of oil, then cover the enemy with all your left oil, then hit the enemy in the leg near the path of oil which will ignite both the enemy and the oil dealing a ton of damage now the tech I wanted to tell ya about was not been discovered, but I call it "rocks of Uranium" basicly put oil down, then based on your position try launching a boulder but not that far, switch fast to the revolver and explode the boulder which will ignite the oil. you could also get a enemy like a "cerberus", shoot him with the boulder near oil and that will do a bit of his health, then the explosion will be his breaking point (littarily) and then the oil will finish the job! Extra damage if you cover the cerberus with oil.

Very entertaining and helpful vid!!!

This is actually really high quality, nice!!

Thank you for the very informative video about the update

this was ultrahelpful and a joy to watch!

I'm actually surprised you don't have ULTRAamount of subscribers, good video!!!!! Thank you, u saved me a lot of time and 100% impacted my gameplay through new difficulty!

the piston instantly became my new favorite weapon when i figured out how to use it, i learned some neat tricks i didn't know before in this video too, can't wait to use them

Insanely helpful advice, thank you!

great guide, very useful! the 'putting oil on the ground to make guttertanks slip' was a new one. this is underrated for how actually useful it is, and it's also got nice pacing

one thing you showed but didnt explicitly mention that i thought should have been pointed out: the jackhammer has a cooldown of a few seconds if you land a hit while the speedometer is in the red

Informative, thank you!

Excellent video.

Great video

Hakita is a Picasso of video game design. Very similar stylistically as well, considering he implements highly rudimentary elements into his work purposefully despite being able to create more technically robust work. Dude is a genius. Never played a game where the dev has managed to create so many possibilities for experiences within such a simple framework.

great video

This game never ceases to amaze me.

I thought that the shotgun alt would not be that good but this video taught me about the sawed off varient and WOW

Theoretically you can use weapon swapping to reset to cooldown of the jackhammer’s core eject, go for a ride on a rocket, and carpet bomb a room full of enemies. Sounds like fun.

EPIC AND INFORMATIONAL

Thank you, I quit for a while after failing to beat p-2 and just never resumed the game so this is useful

Thank you good man

Fittingly enough, I've found that the Sawed-On is especially effective against Swordsmachine. When it's in that kneeling state between phases, just get in there with the melee rev and chew through health until it's dead.

Faster punches mod + new update for shotgun = infinite ping pong

regarding jumpstart, the +Conductor explosion damage doesn't scale with the amount or type of nail on the enemy (from my testing), but rather anything conductive (Nails, attractor magnets, water) being on the enemy will make them trigger conductor upon being hit with something electric. if you have two strong enemies with nails or a magnet in them when the cable explodes or you shoot them with an electric railgun, the conductor will chain, which lets you easily kill things like Cerberus duos.

Boss rushing bouttta be crazy

Also for some reason while I was playing around, the hitting with the knuckleblaster and core eject at the same time will send the core flying after the shockwave, its impossible to aim with but if some ultrakill guy can work it into a combo or something that'd be cool

Another thing about Jumpstart Nailgun is that the shock will happen instantly regardless of the charge if the enemy the cable is attached to dies. So it can also be used to clear a group of weak enemies really fast by attaching the cable to one of them and killing it.

I love how the chainsaw kill is +GROOVY, in reference to the Ash William’s lines

you can also combine normal parries and projectile boosts with the chainsaw parries to basically use the default shotgun alongside the chainsaw (this can instakill maurice if both a parry, projectile boost and chainsaw parry all happen at the same time.)

A detail about the Jackhammer you didn’t mention is that V1's current momentum stacks with the Jackhammer's knockback. When slamming and striking at enemy before V1 hits the ground, V1 will be launched in the opposite direction like a slam storage jump. This is usually funny as you are sent to space or across the map, but it's good to have a dash ready you don’t get blasted into a map hazard or off the Cyber Grind.

Very nice i sub

i just had the thought that we can use the cable to measure the heights of anything with the distance meter

200th sub :)

Hitting the core against a coin can actually be very useful because with the new update Halifax made it so that explosion damage from hit scans like the Maurice cannon and the core launch do more damage

I first thought the alternate shotgun was a remodel. I figured that because it was yellow like the swordsmachine and it has an arm in the hologram thingy which suggests it was taken from a robot.

Good intro, i like it

nice vid! one note, you forgot the 2 best weapons added in the update, the most amazing, beautiful, gorgeous, PRESSURE WASHER AND VACUUM

You can actually use the rocket-boosting jackhammer tech to snipe cores with the rocket to create a nuke, just like a malrail.

Lifesaver

Regarding the Sawed-on doohickey arm, you can still charge and shoot the primary fire compared to the shotgun where it will release the chainsaw.

ur getting a sub for this video

This makes me want to use the new alt on one of the weapons. Just not sure which. Probably core-eject? I usually projectile-boosted when I needed an explosion. Though now I'll need to re-learn nukes.

The 150% damage bonus on burning enemies is apparently bugged and doesn't work unless an enemy is specifically weak to fire, chainsaw is also bugged and has infinite range when it bugs out, oil can also bug out the maps, both red nailgun variants are bugged and you can rapid-fire by spamming M2 while holding M1. Very buggy update. Good time for speedrunners to get unbeatable records. Chainsaw revving does 4.5 damage a second, while shotgun swapping 2-3 swaps of 3 (6-9) damage per second, so its vastly inferior to the old workhorse options. Ping ponging it is mostly useful if you just want to mindlessly spam parries since it lowers first cooldown, it doesn't do much damage for the effort involved. You can knuckbust down on grounded enemies to do about 15 damage because the saw gets stuck on them; this 1 shots everything up to sniper Jackhammer does 12 damage at best (1 shots maurice because of weakness, 1 shots sniper, but nothing stronger) while the overpump does 15, 16, 19, making it the strongest non-coin through enemy attack in the game, 1 shotting well over half the games enemies with basically 0 skill or effort involved. Starting with this then switching to another for another red slam kills even ferrymen (the tankiest basic enemy without some over the top weakness) and can be done within a few seconds easily. Could see green jackhammer being nerfed. You can launch the cores through rockets for a bigger explosion. Didn't know you could weapon swap spam, can probably easily snipe 1 core into another with that for a bigger explosion than a regular core snipe. Marksman was buffed this update. Best meme weapon.

Hakita also cooks up some delicious updates

everyone listen, if you are not good enough to get al the slabs you can use the firestarter's gasoline to block the gates so they don't close

Really love your weapon colors 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

The thingamabob is a really fun weapon, I really enjoy getting myself blown into the outer space

Another thing about the jumpstart: if an enemy dies (from any source) while connected to the cable it will trigger the shock instantly

One thing I feel like I should mention, if you use the firestarter's oil on the grate doors in 7-2 (the ones opened with the yellow orbs), they will completely disappear, making getting the alt shotgun much easier.

Bro, I learned a lot of ultrakill combos, coplited all game for p rank(except minos and sisiphus, cuz I have life). I am not a master, but a good player, but now I have to le learn again. Thank you, hakita

the ignited damage multiplier only takes effect on husks. doesn't work on other types even if they're oiled :(

What happens if you use freezeframe rocket then use jackhammer alt fire and propel them both?

I got all the way to ACT III 8-2 Before knowing you could buy new weapons..

Guttertanks be like: help I've fallen, and I can't get up!

All the Alternate weapons are pretty well balanced. Most people have the Piercer has Alt and Marksman as default (And have a preference for Sharpshooter, I use the Alt because of the instant firing). The Nailgun is very player dependant, either you want to shoot what you're looking at so you use the default, or you're fine investing a few seconds into setup for more damage and use the Alt. Similarly to the pistols, the new Shotgun Alt trades fire-rate for damage. Do you want to 1 shot a Maurice/Sentry/Virtue but lose your Jackhammer for 7 seconds? I personally prefer the defaults due to the shotgun swapping, and a combo of Pump Shotgun + Knuckleblaster + Slam, can still 1 shot a Maurice without an extended cooldown. Perhaps I'll try using the Jackhammer for the Sawed-On variant though, so that I can kill Sentries.

By the way, if you swap really fast with the alt core eject, you can make a fast nuke, pretty fun, but impractical.

Jumpstart also has its cc range extender by magnets

Man, I love oiling up mindflayers.

Primes Will have memoris of this

The oil bugging out doors can make getting the alt-shotgun easier since it despawns a lot of the gates

Great video but you missed the two other weapons in S7 there so good in combos it’s insane

1:09 >couple of Cerberus exists >Both don't do nothin' >V1 kills one >Cerberus angry

'jackhammer vs shotgun' is now one of the hardest choices i've had to make in all my time playing video games

Which shotguns should i use the alternate varients of?

I thought the red nailgun was underwhelming because its faster to just shoot your weapons to deal more damage, but I didn't know about that intetaction on the sawblade, I have to check it out

oh so the saw variant cuts the amount of time left for the charge to happen, nice

i like to get close to an enemy, launch the saw on the sawed on, once the saw comess back i time it with a projectile boost for BEEG damage

ngl the door running at me while I was playing 7-1 kinda spooked me.

Thx :)

Take this, Minos! 20 meter range, Electro spark!

in one of linguini's videos he said that enemies covered in the Firestarter's gas don't take 50% more damage

I was waitig for a incediary weapon to get added, welp time to finaly buy the game

Was the jack hamer supposed to be the 4th arm

I honestly didn't know about the velocity thing in the jackhammer,i always thought that being launched in the air while it turn red means how far you're away from the enemy or something,thankfully this tutorial helped me a lot! Thank you for the great tutorial,Awesome job!

Fun fact: With sawed on shotgun, when you fire the saw automatically launches. With the sawed on jackhammer, this does not happen. This can be useful.

Red nailgun = Low tier god
