ULTRAKILL /// Sharpshooter Guide

[@spiceforspice3461]

I feel like all of the new weapon variants are going to be like the Sharpshooter and the SRS Cannon, where they have a more niche use. There's only so many all-purpose weapon variants that can exist before they start to become redundant.

[@NotNOV4]

Pretty much. I mean, the game originally intended there to be 4 variants, not 3. Imagine how bad it'd get lol

There's a little trick that I found, the sharpshooter treats both the ceiling and skybox as a flat surface. So shooting at the feet of an enemy can cause a lot of damage. With includes bosses. Now the interesting part is that it works very well on Gabe's first fight, when he uses his spear, at the moment where he teleports above V1 shooting the ground or ceiling will cause a good amount of damage for little effort.

[@friendoftheoyster3906]

Wtf thats so cool you can just place an orbital laser anywhere!

[@jacobsiron6929]

Was really important for me taking out Minos Prime; I was more focusing on using the Railcannon to just fire it for damage/a quick heal (outside of a double railcoin opener), but typically when he did his walking I slid by him to throw out a (slab) ricochet

[@PaulFJarnes]

No wonder "style" is a stat in this game, it gives you the opportunity to play like an absolute beast

[@Blitztein_beta]

5:00 due to coin priority, the sharpshooter actually goes from the first coin to the second instead of zig-zagging to the ground and then hitting the 2nd Additionally, the alternate sharpshooter does not auto-aim to enemy weakpoints upon bouncing, which makes it better for sharpcoin setups because the angle it bounces off of becomes consistent

[@nurifiid9620]

Sharpshooter should 100% be the only weapon that ignores coin priority and always go back and forth

[@themyster1ous01]

@@nurifiid9620 the simplest way to work around this is to throw only one coin and do some coin adds.

One thing you (I think) forgot to mention: the slab variant does not target weakpoints. What this means is that the slab variant is better for coin combos, bosses, and general reliability in knowing where the laser is going to bounce. In my opinion, shelling out extra damage with coins to multiple heavy enemies is worth more than single target locational damage. A good example is the 4 cerb room in p-2; it will be harder to hit them all effectively with the default sharpshooter as the shot bounces to the first cerbs head instead. Whereas with the slab, the shot bounces back directly to you, allowing you to put coins directly in its path.

[@AvidMilkDrinker]

I was messing around with the sharpshooter because of this video and I discovered some "new" tech. Basically, you can do a slabcoin (it means to coin punch+ shoot the coin with the alt-piercer, it's pretty simple and does more damage than the electric railcannon) with the alt-sharpshooter (or regular) and you don't have to be accurate, but you do need atleast a roof to do more damage than a slabcoin with a piercer. Edit: you can add coins to the redslabcoin (up to 3 more)

[@levibruner7553]

The alt revolver received a charge time buff, allowing you to charge it to full almost instantly. This makes it much better in general because it becomes as easy to use as the railcannon, essentially giving you a second charge of electric (because it pierces) and malicious (because it can explode) railcannons.

[@chunkyrabbit1032]

I like it simply because it allows you to use it situationally instead of having to empty the charges with a slower wind up time

[@NotNOV4]

I did edit the description, and you're quite right. I much prefer the alt now, because you can effectively use it whenever you see projectiles coming towards you. The only situation it's worse in might be the CG since you can kill 3 MaliFaces with the default Sharpshooter.

[@CHEH_tf]

Since patch 14 something (14b I think) slab sharpshooter spins up INSTANTLY. It's huge

[@lucaberon6789]

what I love about the alternate sharpshooter, is that if you have a mind flayer in a environment with a roof, such as P-2, you can cause enough damage if you time coins and the sharpshooter correctly

[@NotNOV4]

Yo! Sorry for the delay between uploads. Been busy with life, but things have finally cleared up. I'm gonna leave a community poll for what my next video should be, so feel free to vote on that. Last thing, a Discord server is now up and the invite is in the description.

[@mailcs06]

I only got the game recently but I absolutely adore the Sharpshooter Revolver. It’s really nice for taking out high priority targets in more confined space by bouncing the bullet back and forth through their hitbox between two parallel surfaces, and for taking out groups of weak enemies in very tight areas. The Slab Variant is especially good for taking out high priority targets, as it can deal a huge amount of damage if it hits the target a full 4 times. First go through hits for 2.5, second for 3.75, and the third and fourth hit for 5 each, dealing a whopping 16.25 damage in total. And if you’re better than me at the game, a single coin bounce immediately boosts the damage per hit to the max of 5, so you could deal up to 20 damage if it then hits the target the full 4 times. However the regular Sharpshooter is still pretty powerful, being able to hit for up to 9 damage in total if it hits the target all 4 times, or up to 12 if it is ricocheted of a coin first. While both of those numbers are significantly lower than the Slab Variant’s damage, the multiple charges and faster recharge is nice. And it can be even more devastating than the slab version if you can bounce that through a target’s head.

[@Observer-3913]

What’s also awesome about Maurice instakills is that the style bonus goes up substantially as a result, allowing you to shrug off hard damage very easily and also get to the ULTRAKILL rank, where you will not build up hard damage, allowing for more whiplash and overpump shotgun or jackhammer plays.

There is a change in the Slab Sharpshooter. It is that you can instantly ULTRARICOCHET instead of having to wait 0.30seconds. I get your point, but i still prefer the ALT Sharpshooter for me. It has helped me complete a V2 speedrun.

Thanks! It's one of the only games I am confident in saying I'm a "pro" at :P

[@FaerieVe]

I played around with the sharpshooter, and now it’s the only weapon I use (unless I absolutely NEED another). I love this gun so much, and youd expect a dps issue, but that’s only an issue in large open areas, and/or against bosses with minimal projectiles. I almost needed to pick up another weapon for leviathan, but exploding it’s projectiles can deal a shit ton of damage. However, even though the general level in p-2 is possible, I absolutely could not beat the boss with only the sharpshooter. If you’re doing this, I highly reccomend the default variant, as the slab sharpshooter is unreliable without other weapons to supplement it. Also, if you worry about style, you don’t need to. When you start a level with only one weapon picked up (which doesn’t include mid-level weapons like the nailgun), your gun is always fresh, giving that 1.5x style bonus. The levels I had the most trouble with were anything with insurrectionists, but that’s mostly just a skill issue with me and 4-2, i fucking hate God Damn The Sun (although the gun still does have trouble killing the insurrectionists without cheese).

[@NotNOV4]

this sounds like the most boring playstyle ever, no offense

[@FaerieVe]

@@NotNOV4 yeah thats fair. i wouldnt say its harder since the revolver (and a bunch of other solo weapons actually) can do nearly anything other weapons can. but to people who are actually good at and enjoy rapidly switching between weapons, it absolutely is boring. but i am neither of those things (i literally could not p rank 4-2 with all weapons) so i find it more fun than playing normally. but i think its great for the game to actually support (or at least not destroy) playing like i do instead of forcing the normal way of playing.

[@FurStudS]

Atleast try to switch weapons from time to time, and you'll get more style pointsshsh

[@greensharktwod]

the helicopter trick is funny as hell and that's what makes up for the sharpshooter's lack of use cases

[@ananmaysahu4563]

honestly I use the regular one just for instakilling maurices on the regular in high cybergrind waves because you eventually get to the point shooting some random projectiles deflects everything and kills the map, and before then you get to essentially delete a maurice every 6 seconds.

It seems like no one really uses the sharp shooter, but it is literally my favorite gun. It basically one shots maurice, virtues, or Cerberus if you shoot it straight up or down above an enemy, or straight forward at a wall. It’s also basically a free S or SS combo if there’s a group of filth. Just jump on top, shoot down, and bathe in the blood.

[@Freakyminosprime]

i feel like this needs to be said for anybody not into ultrakill or looking for reasons to get in. 15 damage isn't a small amount of damage here. King Minos the hardest enemy has 130 health. The reason health and damage are so low in this game is because the challenge isn't killing the enemies it's staying alive.

[@everything-narrative]

The uitlility of the Slab Sharpshooter only really becomes apparent if one uses all threee Slab revoler variants, as it opens up the "Slab Swapping" tech, similar to shotgun swapping. It is IMO worth the awkwardness of not having the vanilla marksman and sharpshooters. Also, you should put in the work to master the instant-mount rocket ride technique.

[@childmolester296]

[@redshell9205]

Personally, I use the 2nd variant of the sharpshooter and use it on tanks that are against walls to so more damage. I suppose I can start using coins tho. I also don’t use the piercer (I un-equip it) so I can more smoothly go from my sharpshooter to coins as it’s annoying and I don’t use the piercer like at all.

[@KuraiCrys]

you missed a bunch of things such as coins adding extra ricochets, and the malicious face instakill also dealing damage via the red explosion (while most yellow explosions cannot damage a malicious face, all red explosions can)

[@NotNOV4]

Coins add extra ricochets but only up to the cap. Realistically, almost everyone is going to spin the weapon for the full second, which makes it so coins won't help.

[@a_creatorsstuff17]

First off, i love the sharpshooter, i use it way more than i should compared to other weapons But genuine question, doesnt it make the piercer kinda redundant? The piercer shoots a beam that penetrates and hits 3 times and the sharpshooter fires a piercing shot that bounces up to 4 times Is thr only diference damage and consistencg, cuz the piercer will always hit 3 times no matter if the walls are paralel? While the sharpshooter can do more if the walls align?

[@NotNOV4]

No. The piercer is far, far more reliable. The Sharpshooter will very rarely use all 4 ricochets, and it's even rarer for those to hit the exact targets you want. The piercer also stacks well with coins, and can deal even more damage than a Railcannon shot when used properly.

[@RedlinePostal]

You should remember to let people know that the railgun can hit coins too

[@TheGuwrovsky]
