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
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)
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
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
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'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 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.
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 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
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.
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
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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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 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
For rocket riding, I just fire, dash, freeze all at the same time and then just unfreeze The easiest way of doing it for me Anyway rocket riding and just combining rocket for combat is very busted on Cybergrind and i got to wave 69 (nice) with it Greatest update so far
rocket launcher is so busted for cybergrind that im surprised i still am top 100 with wave 60 violent pb (tho i havent tried climbing after nerf due to being busy)
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!
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

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.
I've been trying out this techs and finding success, but how are you steering the rockets?

I hear that under night ingirth s[ex] ost. Nice
you already know, gotta have it
Anyone else would be unironically interested in a science video by Lud? Also cool Isaac music.
i will do an entire lecture on gastrointestinal diseases one day, since they fucking suck
>ultrakill video
>fighting game ost
i always knew ultrakill was a fighting game
P-1 made it obviously clear
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
holy shmoly you totally gave off a soldier player vibe before I even knew you played TF2
i actually played engineer in highlander, only played soldier in prolander where i could flex lol
rip in peace rocket launcher
I know this is off topic, but imagine.
wave 40 and clash mode activated
that would be so much fun to watch.
im taking that idea thanks
I tried to process what is thumbnail reference.
V1 is posing as X from MegaMan X1 covert art from SNES.
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.
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
damn i went in expecting ultrakill rl knowledge and i left with the knowledge that my brain does
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.
I slowed that shit down. yes all that he said about the brain was true
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.
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 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
with this i've been able to finally p-rank 0-1 :D
0-2 p rank soon?
sick editing and succinct explanation
your diction is impeccable
honey wake up rocket launcher video came out
sounds like he really wants to be a trollger in ultrakill lmao
We need jump beef in ultrakill. Hell, give us jurf and we’ll figure it out
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
I like how he didn't just bullshit the sped up part
great taste in music
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
LES GO BABAY, NEW GLUD VIDEO
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
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
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
I fucking miss randomly slide rocket jumping and clipping through the ground and just flying in the air as much as I want
clipping thru the ground was a staple of cybergrind pre patch
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
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
This is such a well made vid
every nerf is ok as long as i can still "market garden" with Knuckleblaster
i would like to propose that you name your sawblade launcher "The Top Surgeon"

After learning how to ride rockets, 20+ waves are 30% less stressful.
I just fly around till they all kill each other and then finish the job.
it is so busted for cybergrind
For rocket riding, I just fire, dash, freeze all at the same time and then just unfreeze
The easiest way of doing it for me
Anyway rocket riding and just combining rocket for combat is very busted on Cybergrind and i got to wave 69 (nice) with it
Greatest update so far
rocket launcher is so busted for cybergrind that im surprised i still am top 100 with wave 60 violent pb (tho i havent tried climbing after nerf due to being busy)
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

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

i love rocket

Explain to me how a icbm is launched how it can be intercepted and how it delivers the payload in detail.
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 :(

4:23 you shoulda explained some rocket science bruhv.
