Play as V2 ULTRAKILL
This mod let you play as the boss V2 by changing some mechanics of the game.
Gameplay Changes
- Player starts with 400 health per level instead of 100, while they respawn with 200 health. Both values configurable up to values of 1000 and down to 1.
- There are extra healthbars up to 400 health for clarity. The colors of the healthbars are configurable.
- Frankly, I don't know how I got these to work. Divine Intervention, perhaps.
- Healing from blood and parrying is disabled, but higher style decreases damage taken.
- ANARCHIC grants 15% damage reduction, SUPREME 30%, SSADISTIC 45%, SSSHITSTORM 60% and ULTRAKILL 80%. The values for each style rank are configurable.
- Textures of V1 and V2 are swapped in a majority of in-game instances. Toggleable on both ends.
- Default Revolver can shoot three bullets in burst, with a longer cooldown afterwards. Toggleable.
- Text of the introduction is slightly changed.
- In the Cyber Grind, the player only gains back all health every 5 waves.
- Cyber Grind and level score submissions are disabled.
- Mod works with many custom levels, although some custom levels or instances of texture swaps in said levels may be broken.
Development
I'm a near complete novice to coding and modding, so even though my personal playtesting showed little to no issues, this mod may be buggy. You can report bugs by pinging me in the New Blood Discord.
A list of possible changes in the future is below:
- Make the Knuckleblaster into the starting/tutorial fist instead of the Feedbacker
- The V2/V1 boss fight would drop the Feedbacker instead
- Add more healthbars up to 1000
- Possibly change other text throughout the game
- Possibly add a rapid-fire mode for the rocket launcher, similar to revolver
- Possibly add a mechanic to heal outside of combat at the expense of something else, likely style points
- Possibly make V2/V1 a more complex boss fight
- May fork into a separate sister mod
