Weapons are the primary method of combat for players in ULTRAKILL. Most weapons have three variants, Blue, Green, and Red. Blue variants are found in the game's main levels along the course of a normal playthrough, while green and red variants are bought at the Terminal Shop for Points (P) after acquiring their respective weapon's blue variant. The exceptions to this are Arms, of which all variants are found within levels rather than being bought at the shop.

Specific weapons have secret alternate forms found by exploring secrets within levels, which can be equipped instead of their standard variants at any time. Alternate weapons significantly change their standard counterpart's mechanics, suiting different playstyles and strategies.

The position weapons are held from onscreen can be moved, by changing Weapon Position in the settings between the default right, middle or left.

Mechanics

Primary Fire - The most common usage of the weapon, its effect is often the same or similar for every variant.
Alternate Fire - A unique ability for every variant, often more powerful than the primary fire but limited by a cooldown. It can often be combined with other variants or even other weapons for devastating effects.

Weapon Wheel

Holding down the Previous Variation button (default Q) brings up a weapon wheel around the player's reticle and slows down time. The player can move their mouse or thumb stick in the direction of the weapon they want, and then release the button to equip it. The positions of the weapons on the wheel dynamically based on what the player has equipped, and the weapons are listed from slots 1 to 6 starting from the upper left and moving clockwise. Alternate forms are displayed if they are the first of the variants equipped, regardless of which variant will actually be equipped next. The player can still move, fire, and use their arms while this menu is open.

Damage Modifiers

Certain enemies are weaker or more resilient to the effects of certain weapons which allow for strategies the player can use to defeat specific threats.
