As always I will update this comment if any information becomes irrelevant, however I also wanted to talk about the fast ride since I forgot something a little important for those struggling I MADE A MISTAKE, AIRSHOT DAMAGE IS 7 OOPS You may see freeze dash fire unfreeze as another option and yes it works too, I read my own inputs and came to the conclusion of freeze fire dash unfreeze. HOWEVER the inputs are so fast, it is more important that you get comfortable with dashing and firing at almost the same time. That's all I wanted to say, if I forgot anything do not be afraid to let me know. Thanks :)
An enemy being pulled by the whiplash counts as "in the air" and can be hit with a rocket for a red explosion. Its much easier than bouncing them into the air first with a ground slam or other explosion.
yeah, probably should have mentioned that somewhere. as well as how it works with v1 if you whiplash a rocket onto yourself it is also a red explosion (not sure how that'll help but eh)
I think its also worth mentioning that you can freeze ahead of time so only those last 3 inputs have to be super tight. But, yeah, it's best to freeze fast anyway to not waste your precious freeze frame time.
Excellent video, thank you su much! I definitely found freeze dash fire unfreeze to be best for me, as it puts the rocket in a more consistent place which lends itself better to a slower input because I'm bad
So basically we have a bunch of chemical sacs in our body which spew chemicals that tell our brain to tell our body stuff. The way these messages are received, sent and travel throughout the body is nerves which are basically magic spaghetti noodles going throughout our entire body. Yeah, I'm something of a scientist myself, no mean to brag but i'm, like, kind of a genius
@@gLud3 I lowered the playback speed to try to hear it, and while I was able to understand it better it still sounded like shit due to what slower speed does to the audio. A shame, as I found it genuinely interesting.
One useful thing worth noting about the rocket launcher is that whiplashed enemies count as airborne, so if you spot a crowd of fodder and you're not too worried about hard damage from whiplash (full health, good style, whatever) then I find whiplashing an enemy and firing a rocket for the red explosion to be much easier than hitting a core snipe in tighter situations where you don't have so much distance for the core to travel to weapon swap and hit it. Plus if you want to hit that whiplash boom at longer distances for whatever reason, you can hold the whiplash button to keep the grapple on an enemy, fire the rocket and THEN let go of the whiplash to get them airborne just as the rocket's about to collide with them. Bit more niche but still neat.
On the topic of the rocket riding technique, I honestly found dash > fire > freeze > unfreeze to work the best because the dash resetting momentum first makes it much more consistent, although as you said it is up to preference. It also works easily in my brain to remember due to it pretty much being a "left to right" input chain just with the last one being twice
yea i see a buncha different inputs for the rocket ride technique but after testing it seems that the "dash" and "fire" are honestly the strictest parts in the series. As in they need to be close to each other relatively speaking
@sonOfACar42 I just wanna say thank you so so so much for this alternate method. It's the only fast one so far that has clicked with me. Honestly think ur comment should be pinned.
Thank you so much for this alternate method, the other one(in the video) wasn't work consistently for me, but your method is way easier for me and better.
I think one thing worth mentioning is that frozen rockets still turn towards magnets, meaning you can magnet a cerb or swordmachine, freeze time, place a bunch of rockets, make a funny Za Warudo joke and have several rockets impact at once. Since they already face the enemy once they start flying, they're much less likely to miss and it circumvents the 2-3 rockets before the magnet breaks limit, it just needs some time and space to set up
Something really useful I haven't seen talked about is using whiplash on a fodder enemy and immediately following with a rocket is the easiest way I've been able to pull of air shots. You don't even have to be pulling from off the ground for it to be an air shot. My guess is it has to do with a whiplashed enemy not technically on the ground even if it's literally touching it. But I haven't seen any videos on it, so I thought I'd tell you about it
@A fucking Go Pro Oh I didn't realize that info was in the entry, I thought it only mentioned whiplashing the rocket directly. Either way I thought it'd be useful to leave a comment about it on the tutorial for the weapon and yeah they're easier to do than core snipes. That said, I've been practicing core snipes and the timing like crazy because I've noticed it makes it super easy to get friendly fires off on malicious faces from a distance if you get the timing just right.
Love this weapon in the cybergrind, Cerberus and swordsmachines stuck on bounce pads instantly create a red explosion when hit with the RL. Not the most practical use of it but fun nonetheless. Still gotta try out the rocket riding so thanks for the vid!
This video was helpfull, other videos only show a more complex form of rocket riding with extremelly fast imputs, so I apreciate the help + It's the only guide(that i am aware of) that explains the launcher in so much detail
I've give it a spin for around 10 hours or so in regular levels (Not the cyber grind yet) and I now can say that it is a weapon that good in certain ocations, it complements the arsenal well after the nerf of the Whiplash but offensively it's a bad choice since Core Ejects are better since they do a red explosion upon hitting it and movement wise after the last hotfix has killed it a bit (For me) but I can see why it was done, I'll probably update this comment once I play with it in CB
Imo offensively rocket launcher is basically the second slab revolver. Not for general dps, but for random burst damage while you're gunning down a strong enemy and for cool airshots.
@@Kaghtaviy You know, that is super fair, the 150% damage against Cerberus is super good and now that I'm trying it in Cybergrind it comes up way more than I thought for that second Cerberus that you forgot it existed and even tough I can't do the fast ride it can save you from dying but I still think it is subpar if you compare it to the rest to the arsenal
i think the freezeframe is kinda useful for instakilling sentries by setting up a bunch of rockets, attaching a magnet and ground slamming the sentry for the airshot boost
if you shoot a rocket in any direction (make sure you are moving, sliding works too) and whiplash it before it's too far away, it will go back to you and cause a damaging explosion (35 dmg). it sends you pretty dang far. it can also be chained mid-air with another rocket and whiplash. it's simple to pull off as well (also, i have no idea if this boost has been found yet, as i have started playing only a few days ago. if it has, shout-out to whoever that person may be)
If you don't wanna spend a railcannon charge or it's recharging the malcannon + rocket trick works just as well if you replace malcannon with maurice's exploding beam (you can see this in the rocket launcher trailer) It's a bit impractical and frustrating to pull off considering you have to time it right because you'll either hit yourself, or no one. But damn does it feel satisfying, clears out projectiles and some fodder real well.
i just love how the utrakill community can get so emotional about a gun getting nerfed when it hasnt been out for barelly a month lol i am truly curious to see how useful this gun is ganna be with all the varietions cause so far i only see it being useful being in cybergrind since rocket ridings needs a lot off space and you rarelly get that in wrath and heressy and rocket riding just wastes time in p ranking since hakita for some reasons made time limits really tight i dont see any use for the rocket launcher outside for those rare moments anyways good video as usual but is it weird that i NOW just learned that your profile picture is a frog lol
I've been thinking about that alot too, I wonder if the weapon will evolve more towards movement or try to embrace overall combat utility. either way exciting times
@@gLud3 i honestly think the game should focus on movement for the gun its what utrakill is best the gun interactions and amazing movement is what makes up for the weak enemys and level design
time limits for p rank are very generous though, if you are playing stylishly and fast you should have no problems. only reason that rocket riding isnt that useful in normal gameplay is cause you dont wanna skip enemies, but thats really it
@@tafu4049 i dont know i no damaged every mission in the game exept 5 2 and if i dont play as effiently as possible then i am ganna run out off time on 6 1 and 5 2 and 4 3 and a few more levels
Fun fact: If you're chaining rocket jumps, performing a quick slide jump before firing the next rocket at your feet will preserve all of the momentum, making you able to do consecutive, huge jumps that cross a massive distance. It's basically the same as a regular slide jump, where you jump into the air during that tight window where you maintain your speed, but you fire a rocket at your feet the instant after you leave the ground. Timing's super tight, but if you get the rhythm down it's easy enough. Also, you can do this from a complete standstill, and i think you cross even more distance than you would in a dash-jump rocket jump
The more I learn about the possible tech in this game the more I realize people who are good at all of it are what a lethal dose of Adderall looks like
I just found a rocket riding technique that i find a lot easier to use! It has to be used a bit proactively but i find it much more consistent if you are starting out at rocket riding, like me! It only works if you are falling slower the terminal velocity, so in the first second or two of beginning to fall. You simply point down, try to get yourself falling in a straight line, Freeze, shoot, unfreeze. If you were going mostly straight down and not going too fast you should start riding the rocket instantly or after a moment as the rocket catches up with you. Like i said it has to be used proactively, since you have to predict when you're going to be falling and quickly orient yourself. But i think it's useful to know as an easier practice tool if nothing else.
another important tech, if you pre freeze the rockets you can shoot one up jump and then quickly look down and shoot another one jump off of it and then you can have a rocket pillar
Super useful video man, great stuff! I do have one question though, I keep seeing clips of others curving the rocket midair while riding it, and even saw some in this video. How the hell do you do that? Is it just something with the magnets or am I missing something here? Also the neuroscience bit fucking killed me
like steering it? you just do that with wasd/whatever movement controls while riding but its a bit awkward at first because down tilts your rocket up and up tilts it down
yea movement keys steer the rocket (plane controls dunno what they're called) if you are watching older clips there used to be a bug where rocket riding would be tied to fps so if you had high fps you could do sharp ass turns, sadly they got rid of it (and i got rid of segment of the same topic :pensive:)
@@gLud3 Thank you so much! I didn’t think to even touch wasd because I was always under the assumption I’d just walk off the rocket. Sucks they got rid of the sharper turns, would’ve loved to see a segment on that
thank you so much, this video has allowed me to activate my medial temporal lobe to access my declarative memory. i finally learned how to develop muscle memory. could you do one for object permanence?
Can i honestly say i want the regular speed version of the tanget about the front cortex and brain activity Also, really good video, I want to love the rocket launcher but Applying it to my method of play is proving difficult, and this helps alot
it takes time, especially if you are comfortable with your style of play, thankfully the whiplash nerf made it easier for me to adapt but its different for everyone
Oh...you can speed up the rockets by whiplashing them. Just make sure they hit an enemy or an obstacle. Though if it comes back and hits you, you can get a nice horizontal speed boost.
Ultrakill, a game where you are parrying an attack and doing a projectile boost with a shotgun at the same time while riding on your own rocket as a GoPro with legs.
Fun Fact: that nerf doesn't work when NO WEAPONS COOLDOWN cheat is enabled. I know it applies to sandbox but it's fun to fly around. They disappear after some time btw.
Because I'm shit at fast riding, what I do instead when I'm falling off on cybergrind is I look straight down under me, fire, freeze a split second after firing, and then try to fall on the rocket. Much easier, but it does give less height.
For the motor cortex lesson, I paused the video, went to 0.25x playback. Surprisingly enough, it's not gibberish. I still understood jack shit on that.
It was just a very surface level explanation of the motor cortex and some individual parts of it, specifically the nonprimary motor cortex, since it is believed to aid with the memorization and incorporation of motor skills.
For me I find that one of the best ways to use the weapon in combat is to whiplash a small enemy and shoot a rocket around the same time triggering an airshot very close to the ground
all this time, I thought I'd never be capable of the *quick rocket ride™* then I watched the instructions, hopped in sandbox, and it's already in my muscle memory... ffs
I'm waiting on that alternate rl that got shown off on twitter. I love rocket launcher and I love to airshot but rocket riding seems redundant outside of cybergrind
oh no definetely, can only really think of a few stages where you can even rocket ride (4-1,4-2 come to mind first) the green rocket launcher boutta be so fuckin good
I can't hit anything with this weapon and when I do it doesn't feel like it was worth it. Might not dust off my 5 key until the damage gets buffed or the direct-hit requirement gets changed because it just feels like this was designed exclusively for people who have P ranked Minos Prime. I'll try to learn the rocket riding, though. Thank you for the good guide!
offensively by itself its not very great, however just because its another weapon, it means you can just sneak it in mid-combo to get more damage. this is enforced by cerberus damage being 1.5 for rl for some reason, and also the weapon freshness system
do you think youll make an update way to deal with enemies in the cybergrind? i watched your older video but some of it is out of date now. im having trouble killing mindflayers and using the whiplash + shotgun swap isnt an effective way to do damage to them since the whiiplash hard damage nerf
i laughed at the mention of how the frontal lobes work, i got thrown off said what the fuck why is he talking about this. thought you were gonna go video essay mode about how we perceive things or human brain i would've liked it if you gave an explanation about how our perception of left right is affected by our brain being split in too. it's very funny i appreciate it.
also guys I kinda strugled with this but S is up and W is down I dont think any tutorials on how to rocket ride tells this in the video but yeah also this serves if you also didnt pay attention to the "minimap" of controls in the corner like me
i started doing it, but I don't know how? i just say in my head to rocket ride and fingers just do it. It's just a rhythm of: left-right-shift-right, then you usually press S to go up while on the rocket then you're on
honestly the inputs are so close together, you can get away with just mashing the inputs when learning. it is definitely a muscle memory sort of move so don't get discouraged it takes time!

Once I was bored so I decided to ride a no cooldown rocket straight up while whiplashing a regular husk so I brought him to the stratosphere with me
Hope i'm not the only one to recognize the pose that v1 is doing in the thumbnail.
It's a Mega Man X1 reference.
>ultrakill video
>fighting game ost
i always knew ultrakill was a fighting game
P-1 made it obviously clear
sick editing and succinct explanation
your diction is impeccable
I hear that under night ingirth s[ex] ost. Nice
you already know, gotta have it
I enjoy your video editing and commentary styles. If you don't mind me asking, which program do you use to edit your videos?
davinci resolve
Rocket Launcher: *Gets added to Ultrakill*
TF2 Players: _My time has come_
proceeds to miss every airshot
@@gLud3 that's insulting
But not gonna denie it lol
A++ for Melty Blood music
raito dont miss
Because I'm shit at fast riding, what I do instead when I'm falling off on cybergrind is I look straight down under me, fire, freeze a split second after firing, and then try to fall on the rocket. Much easier, but it does give less height.
nice choice of music, tekken ost is goated
wish i could use some of t7 ost but that shit goes way too hard, drowns out everything LOL
@@gLud3 so true, I will say though Vermillion Gates is fairly chill compared to the rest of the ost at least 1st round
holy shit vermillion gates is honestly the best track in t7, they were throwing straight bangers season 4 with shit like cave of enlightenment
rip in peace rocket launcher
For the motor cortex lesson, I paused the video, went to 0.25x playback. Surprisingly enough, it's not gibberish. I still understood jack shit on that.
It was just a very surface level explanation of the motor cortex and some individual parts of it, specifically the nonprimary motor cortex, since it is believed to aid with the memorization and incorporation of motor skills.
honey wake up rocket launcher video came out
great taste in music
For me I find that one of the best ways to use the weapon in combat is to whiplash a small enemy and shoot a rocket around the same time triggering an airshot very close to the ground
seein a lotta people sayin similar things with the whiplash, for sure gotta try it
I slowed that shit down. yes all that he said about the brain was true
damn i went in expecting ultrakill rl knowledge and i left with the knowledge that my brain does
with this i've been able to finally p-rank 0-1 :D
0-2 p rank soon?
Miiiiight have to sandbox this later to see if rocket riding is worth it outside of cringe grind
probably only for a few levels with big skyboxes. bridgeburner comes to mind immediately, could be funny
all this time, I thought I'd never be capable of the *quick rocket ride™*
then I watched the instructions, hopped in sandbox, and it's already in my muscle memory... ffs
Pog, the frog's sawgun says trans rights.
Also thanks for the informative neuroscience lesson!
of course, trans people be winnin hella hard with a flag that looks that good, gotta use those colors
I'm waiting on that alternate rl that got shown off on twitter. I love rocket launcher and I love to airshot but rocket riding seems redundant outside of cybergrind
oh no definetely, can only really think of a few stages where you can even rocket ride (4-1,4-2 come to mind first) the green rocket launcher boutta be so fuckin good
We need jump beef in ultrakill. Hell, give us jurf and we’ll figure it out
I tried to process what is thumbnail reference.
V1 is posing as X from MegaMan X1 covert art from SNES.
This is such a well made vid
I can't hit anything with this weapon and when I do it doesn't feel like it was worth it. Might not dust off my 5 key until the damage gets buffed or the direct-hit requirement gets changed because it just feels like this was designed exclusively for people who have P ranked Minos Prime. I'll try to learn the rocket riding, though. Thank you for the good guide!
the rocket projectile speed is crazy fast, it also is affected by movement a bit so no worries about missing. I miss sometimes too
I'd also add that you can get a lot of enviromental kills with it, maybe not the most optimal way to use it but very funny
they do get sent up quite high
how much did u test the air explosion damage? the wiki says 7. that aside i love your choice of background music
i made a mistake, airshot is 7. I actually updated the pinned comment when I found out
offensively by itself its not very great, however just because its another weapon, it means you can just sneak it in mid-combo to get more damage. this is enforced by cerberus damage being 1.5 for rl for some reason, and also the weapon freshness system
it is so good for fresh
i would like to propose that you name your sawblade launcher "The Top Surgeon"
do you think youll make an update way to deal with enemies in the cybergrind? i watched your older video but some of it is out of date now. im having trouble killing mindflayers and using the whiplash + shotgun swap isnt an effective way to do damage to them since the whiiplash hard damage nerf
it is planned but most likely wont be for at least another month due to a couple other videos planned aas well as the time needed to make it
@@gLud3 okie dokie artichokie
sounds like he really wants to be a trollger in ultrakill lmao
LES GO BABAY, NEW GLUD VIDEO
Fucking amazing editing dude well done!
i laughed at the mention of how the frontal lobes work, i got thrown off said what the fuck why is he talking about this. thought you were gonna go video essay mode about how we perceive things or human brain i would've liked it if you gave an explanation about how our perception of left right is affected by our brain being split in too. it's very funny i appreciate it.
just testing the waters before i go full educational channel
Explain to me how a icbm is launched how it can be intercepted and how it delivers the payload in detail.
I have no idea what is happening i dont even know how to zip onto the rockets with the whiplash
also guys I kinda strugled with this but S is up and W is down
I dont think any tutorials on how to rocket ride tells this in the video but yeah
also this serves if you also didnt pay attention to the "minimap" of controls in the corner like me
i started doing it, but I don't know how? i just say in my head to rocket ride and fingers just do it. It's just a rhythm of: left-right-shift-right, then you usually press S to go up while on the rocket then you're on
honestly the inputs are so close together, you can get away with just mashing the inputs when learning. it is definitely a muscle memory sort of move so don't get discouraged it takes time!
Thank u so much 🙏🙏🙏 how do I redirect the rocket? I've managed to get on it but I can't make it change directions :(
wasd
I like how he didn't just bullshit the sped up part
Im just mad its between the pistol and the rail gun so I cant do my charge shot blue rail for a quick dopamine hit
every nerf is ok as long as i can still "market garden" with Knuckleblaster
I just wish it wasn't in between the Marksman and the Railgun in the weapon order. Is there a way to change that? As it is I usually unequip it.
yea they added ability to rebind the rl
@@gLud3 Where's it at? I don't use the keys I use mousewheel.
