Style is one of the main game mechanics of ULTRAKILL. It is a scoring system that 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 two 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 and the shorter will the time be before hard damage starts decaying.

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

Every style rank's point amount stacks on top of the other. This means that, for example, to reach Brutal rank, the player must acquire a total of between 500 and 899 points to completely fill the ranks Destructive and Chaotic.

Multipliers

Multipliers dictate by how much style points should be multiplied. Each multiplier is multiplicative with other multipliers.

Movement Multiplier

The Movement Multiplier, indicated as "MULTIPLIER" on the HUD, increases at a rate of x2.0/s up to 3x while the player is sliding or airborne, but decreases at a rate of 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 weapons not currently held 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.

In cases of interacting with another weapon's projectile (e.g. rocket or core eject), weapon freshness decay will apply to the weapon interacting with said projectile, not the weapon that created the projectile.

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 style points and set the level style score to its value when the checkpoint was taken minus 1/3. Any subsequent respawn to the same checkpoint will not reduce it further.

Weapon Style

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

+ RIDE THE LIGHTNING	200	Damage an enemy with a deflected lightning strike explosion from the environment in 5-2 or 5-4 or summoned by a Ferryman by using a Coin.

If a lightning strike detects a coin below it as it triggers and the player is not blocking the way, the normal lightning strike effect will be replaced with an explosive hitscan generated a certain height above the coin and pointed directly downward, which can be obstructed by enemies or obstacles and detonate prematurely before reaching the coin. Prematurely detonated lightning strike hitscans will still award the style bonus if enemies are caught in the explosion. Parrying or attaching a Jumpstart Nailgun or Jumpstart Sawblade Launcher cable to a Ferryman charging a close-range lightning strike (Brutal only) will immediately summon the strike directly on the Ferryman's position instead of the player's, though triggering the deflectable lightning hitscan with a coin is still required for the style bonus to be awarded in this scenario. Soldiers and Malicious Faces that successfully block the explosion will not award the style bonus, even if the explosion damages or kills Soldiers that blocked it (Standard/Violent only).
