Style is one of the main game mechanics of ULTRAKILL. It directly influences gameplay and rewards the player for mastery of the game. Performing quick, impressive and varied actions in a stylish manner is essential for keeping a high style score. The style is principally indicated by the style meter which is divided into 2 parts: the style rank, and the style info.

The style rank, similarly to a combo meter, defines the overall score of the player. The only direct influence the player's style rank has on gameplay is its effect on hard damage. The higher the player's style rank is, the faster any suffered hard damage will decay.

The style info is a list of the most recent actions the player has done and displays various multipliers that affect the final style output. The list of actions that grant score is pre-defined but covers almost every action the player can do.

Multiplier

The MULTIPLIER value increases by 2/s up to 3x while the player is sliding or airborne, but decreases by 2/s down to 1x otherwise.

Weapon Freshness

Weapon Freshness is a Weapon-variant-specific style multiplier whose value changes based on the usage of different weapons. Arms are exempt from this mechanic.

There are four freshness ranges, each with their own style multiplier:
7.5–10	5–7.5	1–5	0–1
FRESH: 1.5x	USED: 1.0x	STALE: 0.5x	DULL: 0.0x

Every attack and style bonus dealt by a weapon variant will decrease that variant's freshness by 0.7, and increase every other weapon's freshness by 0.5, except for other variants on the same weapon slot as the source weapon.
Additionally, the freshness of all unequipped weapons will increase passively by 0.1 per second.

Freshness Modifiers

Minimum weapon freshness is limited by the number of equipped weapon variants.
Equipping only one variant limits freshness to FRESH, while two variants limit it to USED, and three STALE.

Attacks against bosses decay weapon freshness at 1.5x the normal rate.

Freshness decay is also reduced proportionately to the amount of Dual Wield Orbs currently active, plus 1.
One powerup = decay/2; two powerups = decay/3; etc.

Certain damage types and style bonuses modify how much freshness is decayed for the source weapon and regenerated for other weapons per move.

Freshness Regen/Decay Multipliers

Damage Type Multiplier Impact Hammer Hit x3 Explosions x0.75 Standard Shotgun Pellets x0.15 Nails/Sawblades x0.1 Screwdriver Tick x0.025 Fire x0

Style Bonus Multiplier + FULL IMPACT x8 + BLASTING AWAY x6 + HEAVY HITTER x5 + BLUNT FORCE x3 + EXPLODED x1.25 + KILL x0.3 + DOUBLE KILL x0.1 + TRIPLE KILL x0.1 + MULTIKILL x# x0.1 + QUICKDRAW x0 + PROJECTILE BOOST x0 + ARSENAL x0

Other Modifiers

Attacks against bosses have an additional 1.5x style gain multiplier.

Taking damage from enemies or the environment will drop the style rating by one rank, and deduct points using the equation damage * 5.
Self-inflicted damage does not reduce style.

Respawning at a checkpoint will reset the total style score to the value it had when the checkpoint was taken, then remove 1/3 of the style.

These style points are neither displayed on the style info, nor added if the hit is fatal.
