SANDBOX MODE is a custom mission in the game created for players to test weapons, practice combat and create primitive custom maps. It can be accessed by pressing the "SANDBOX" button in chapter selection or through the Terminal.

Landmarks

Spawn Building

After falling onto the map, behind you will stand a small, dark, empty building with three doorways and 2 windows. The Sandbox's two Terminals- including its unique terminal- stand next to the right entrance.

Sandbox Terminal

A special black terminal found right outside the spawn building, alongside the standard level Terminal. This terminal shows various stats spesific to the sandbox, as well as a few customizing options such as the ability to adjust the time of day by changing the skybox and lighting, an option to change the icons used in the spawner arm and cheat menu, and the option to disable or re-enable the map's border.

Lake

A small lake with an island to the right from the spawn location.

Utility Building

Left from spawn, in the corner, is a building with skewed holes in the ceiling. It contains a white room (which has bright white walls and a light source) a black room (which has all black walls and no light, similar to the white room) and a dark room (A big brick room with no light sources). Hidden between the white and black rooms is a small room (requiring noclip to access) with a black terminal inside, its only purpose is to display an e-mail from Garry Newman granting premission for the map GM construct to be used.

Cheats

Cheats are enabled by default in the Sandbox, and the mode has several exclusive cheats, all of which involve either the mode's save management system or general construction aid.

Saves

The Sandbox can be saved using the Sandbox-unique cheats. The save directory can be accessed from local files in the Saves folder or by selecting the "OPEN DIRECTORY" button in the save management menu. These .pitr files can be safely sent to other players or downloaded into your own saves folder to play another player's saves.

Expanded Spawner Arm Functions

Several new sections appear in the Spawner Arm menu, containing options exclusive to the Sandbox.

Sandbox Tools

Move

Allows for the free movement of brushes, props, and enemies. Holding E lets you rotate by panning the mouse; right clicking will freeze the target in place.

Delete

Immediately deletes the selected entity.

Alter

Freezes the game when a target is selected, opening a menu with configuration options for the entity.

Brushes

Uniquely to the Sandbox, the Spawner Arm can create scalable material volumes with various properties. Brushes are affected by the Physics cheat, which is enabled by default. Regardless of size, they can be Whiplashed when physics are enabled, but not when they are frozen.

All names listed were taken (and shortened) from the internal names displayed by the Alter menu.

• Cube
• Metal Cube
• Wood Cube
  • Strong Destructible, can be ignited by like enemies can. Can be made weak or indestructible.
• Grass
  • Same texture as the Sandbox's grass. Useful for landscaping.
• Glass
  • Transparent weak Destructible, destroyed by most weak damage sources. Can be made strong or indestructible.
• Water
• Hot Sand
  • Sand from the Greed layer. Will burn enemies and players who stand on it. Damage can be adjusted.
• Lava
  • Like Acid, but noticeably more deadly and with no extra physics. Damage can be adjusted.
• Acid
  • Acid from the Gluttony layer. Slowly dissolves player and enemies who fall into it. Damage can be adjusted.
• Armor
  • Deflects attacks like Hideous Masses and other armored targets.

Special

The Sandbox section contains the Checkpoint and Spawn Point which, like the Brushes, can only be spawned in the Sandbox.

Trivia

• The Sandbox map is a recreation of gm_construct, a map from the game Garry's Mod.
  • Internally, the level is named uk_construct. This is a reference to Source Engine map naming schemes, which are prefixed according to their intended purpose; for instance, de_dust denotes that the Counter-Strike map Dust is for use in the Bomb Defusal gamemode, while gm_construct is for the default sandbox gamemode in Garry's Mod.
  • In the Utility Building, between the entrances to the White Room and Black Room, is another barred doorway. Noclipping inside will reveal a gray terminal which displays an email from Garry Newman (the creator of Garry's Mod) giving Hakita permission to use his map in ULTRAKILL.
• All brushes apart from acid and lava begin with the word "Procedural" in their internal names. Water is the only one internally labeled as a brush.
  • Metal Cube, Wood Cube, Glass Cube and Grass Cube are all labelled with "Variant" - presumably variants of the first Cube brush.
• Properties of liquid brushes stack. For an example, when V1 is inside multiple water brushes, the jump height is multiplied.
• Making the "Triggered Barrel" indestructible, then quickly exiting the menu will prevent it from exploding.
• The invisible walls surrounding the map can be disabled at the Sandbox terminal under "World Options", letting the player explore the skybox. Alternatively, a high enough jump (utilizing slam storage for example) can fling V1 over the walls—though another jump will be needed to return to the main map—and rocket surfing can surmount the wall easily.
• While most available themes at the Sandbox terminal simulate the environments of campaign levels, the fog theme is instead an homage to Silent Hill.
  • Enabling the fog theme will play an ambient drone throughout the level. It is the song Sourire d'Avril slowed down by about 800%. The same drone is used in a number of campaign levels, and a full-speed version of Sourire d'Avril is the basis of The Spinal Staircase.
• The Sandbox terminal plays The Fire is Gone (for Music Box) like the Testament terminals, rather than instrumental excerpts of Russ Morgan Orchestra's Were You Foolin'.
• Explosive barrel leaves debris in the shape of a broken ventilation cover.
