Ultrakillis a first-person shooter published by New Blood Interactive. This FPS hopes to combinefast-paced combatcombined with ultra-violent carnage, which gives a nod to its inspiration from the retro-style first-person shooters such asQuakeandDoom. Its retro graphics also add to this nostalgia players face while taking on a variety of enemies as they descend further into Hell.

In a hope to survive the brutality of the levels that rivalDante’s Layers of Hell, players have a wide variety of weapons they can use that range from six different categories, from revolvers to even their bare hands. With so many to choose from, it is difficult to decide which ones are best for a rampage.
10Pump Charge Shotgun
As the green variant of the shotgun, players can purchase this version of the weapon at the shop for 12,500p once they have first picked up the Core Eject Shotgun first. This double barrel pump action shotgun may not look like much at first but in this brutal first-person shooter, shotguns are by farone of the best weaponsto equip due to how quickly they can down an enemy.
Players can hit a target for a decent amount of damage or pump the shotgun, which decreases the accuracy of the hit while increasing the damage substantially. This lack of accuracy isn’t something players will regret as they will mainly be hitting from up close while using the Pump Charge in the first place.
9Attractor Nailgun
As a machine gun that is possibly the fastest gun in the game, the Attractor Nailgun will be unlocked by players quickly. As the blue variant of the Nailgun, a player will find this weapon when completing the level “Heart of The Sunrise.”

The great thing about this weapon is not only the amount of damage it can cause if all silver nails are to hit but the alternate fire choice of shooting a nail magnet allows for some entertaining tactics. Firing a nail magnet on the ground will make all shot nails orbit its location, allowing the player to set up nail traps that hurt the enemy for a significant amount of damage.
8Knuckleblaster
Guns aside, even just a well-upgraded fist can make for a great weapon while trying to complete levels inUltrakill.Unlike the other weapons mentioned on the list so far, a player will need to defeat a boss before they unlock the red variant of the arm. This means defeating V2 during the “Clair De Lune” level.
This arm isincredibly powerfulas it hits enemies hard. This not only deals immense damage but can also push back enemies that are getting too close, however, players can’t parry with this arm so they better prepare to take some hits.
7Malicious Railcannon
Players may have to wait a little longer for this gun, but that doesn’t stop it from being by far one of the best railcannons available. After unlocking the Electric Railcannon during the “Death At 20,000 Volts” level, players can purchase the red variant for 100,000p at the store.
A single beam from this weapon causes a large explosion that demolishes all enemies in its path, however, it does have a 16-second cooldown which may put some players off using it, especially considering how fast-paced the combat is.
6Overheat Nailgun
After unlocking the Attractor Nailgun players will be able to purchase the green variant of the gun from the store for 25,000p. Compared to other purchased guns on the list, this is by far one of the cheapest available.

While the Attractor Nailgun was fast, theOverheat Nailgun is even fasteras its alternate fire mode allows the player to shoot even more nails in a quick burst. However, this can be very dangerous as it does mean the weapon uses up one of its heat sinks making the weapon take longer to recharge.
5Piercer Revolver
It is surprising to see that even though the Piercer Revolver is the first gun players will unlock duringUltrakill, it still somehow manages to be one of the best guns available in the entire game. Although it doesn’t do as much damage as the other weapons or fires as fast as them either, the alternate fire mode for this revolver allows it to excel thoroughly.
The Piercer Revolver can be charged to fire a three-beam shot that can pierce through multiple enemies causing a lot of damage to countless foes in a room. This means players can line up shots to make the best combos and earn themselves a decent amount of style.
4Core Eject Shotgun
As the first shotgun players will unlock, the Core Eject Shotgun can be obtained after defeating the boss' Swordmachine’s first phase during the level “Double Down.” Aftergetting their hands on this weaponmany players will feel unstoppable, and it’s true.
As the name Core Eject suggests, the shotgun can be used as it should to hit foes up close with a decent amount of damage. Players also have the choice to quickly remove the core from the shotgun and throw it at their opponent to use as a grenade.
3Feedbacker
Players tend to forget that their most useful weapon is their own bare hands, and this is no different forUltrakill. Feedbacker is available to players from thevery second the game is started, its damage is by far the worse only doing one hit a swing, but that isn’t why this blue variant of the arm is so useful.
Parrying is a vital mechanic when attempting to survive against foes. Feedbacker allows the player to punch back at the enemy, sending whatever projectile they attempted to send the player’s way straight back at them with increased damage.
2Electric Railcannon
Maximize destruction with the Electric Railcannon. As mentioned this gun can be unlocked during the level “Death At 20,000 Volts,” and since then players will have a weapon that is sure to disintegrate all of their foes.

Similar to the tactics of the Piercer Revolver, the beam that is shot from the Electric Railcannon can pierce through all the enemies in its path. This once again makes this Railcannon a brilliant option for lining up enemies and shooting through all of themfor brutal and swift kills.
1Marksman Revolver
Out of all the weapons available to players inUltrakill, the Marksman Revolver is not only one of the most interesting weapons available but also one of the best that requires a decent amount of skill to use. This Revolver can be purchased from the store for 7,500p after unlocking the Piercer Revolver during the first level of the game.
It does a similar amount of damage to the blue variant, however, its alternate firing option allows the player to toss a coin into the air. If they are able to successfully shoot the coin while it is airborne, the coin will automatically hit an enemy in one of the weak spots, allowing the player to commit even more damage.
