Are you referring to the one made in April 1st? Cause that was an April fool's video. Unless there happened to be two uploads that I can't be bothered to go through my notifications for.
A few days ago my friend mentioned they hardly used the coin, to which I rightly expressed disgust and disappointment. This video shall further coinpill them
I started using it in during the my first play through of the first chapter (not prologue). I love it but I’m still not too good at any more than 1 coin. I can do 2 coins occasionally. I still have a long road ahead to mastery of the coin.
"You can punch the coin", holy shit my mind is blown. Honestly, the way the game creates so many combos between all your tools, it's amazing. And from what I understand more weapon and arm mods are on the way? God, love this fps
I think the key to all of this is that the dev didnt make mechanics/ interactive elements resrictive, like “ you can only jump off of blue walls” but instead its the exceptions where mechanics don’t interact. than means most objects are parriable/hitable, and its only very particular things that negate those mechanics. making mechanics universally applicable at first, and making restrictions few and far between for the sake of gameplay only. Targeted exceptions first instead of targeted rules first. (“you can use this in all situations except”, instead of “you can ONLY use this in this particular situation”.) thus we get stuff like the parry shotgun.
i knew this was a good game, but i never realized it had THIS level of depth... you can tell they really want to make a game that has both high skill ceilings for speedruns and for general combat, while still being a beginner-friendly game. so far they're succeeding. great video, love your content!
@@the_furry_inside_your_walls639 I know Hakita's gotten some voice actors and another person helped make a song or two for the OST, but for developing the game, I've only ever seen Hakita be credited.
I can barely shoot the coin while moving and you're telling me that there's more complicated way of shooting it? You...you guys are insane, you know that?
When you realize the timings the coins are really easy, just Move straight, look to the direction the coin is at and move your camera up for a bit and that's a consistent coin. If you wanna deal with malicious faces quick you can throw a coin into the malicious face, swap to railcannon and then oneshot it.
@@santinogirado5487 aiming a coin into one while jumping sideways like the monkey i am is fairly hard because i gotta aim somehow predicting where it will go due to me moving sideways at a high speed. So i just nail gun them to death in a few seconds.
The way I learned is sliding straight forward while tossing the coin slightly upward in front of you. You're moving with the coin forward, so the coin has the illusion of moving slow mo and being really easy to hit. I killed Gabriel doing this, constantly sliding around him in a circle while shooting the coins in front of me for consistent DPS and evasion.
@@HerbMessiahgood of you in spending months perfecting the science, selling it to humanity, balancing the coin mechanics with the gameplay loop making it usable and fun, solving skill issues the world had no answer for.

I think there's a chance that, when Hakita announced that infinite coin-juggle-damage nerf, the timeline split in two. In our timeline, the any% run of the full game will be largely as it is now in nature, just with the rest of the levels.

Legit no other FPS has this much depth. Imagine having to make a 20 minute video for a mechanic where you flip a coin and shoot it, Hakita is insane really. Good video too man! I looked this up bc I barely figured out you can use the rail gun on the coin too and wanted to see what other tech I missed out on.
@@metaverse9883 There's plenty of movement tech, shotgun parries and regular parries. Doom is basic as fuck and the movement isn't even good. The boss fights, weapons, movement, adn fun focused enemies of Ultrakill make it way better imo. Doom has to be the most overrated game, definitely does not deserve a place in the "best fps" conversation. Game is mid as hell
@@metaverse9883 this is the most surreal and pointless argument I’ve ever seen lmao. Both games are good, both games have depth, and neither of them are as sick as Titanfall 2
The Marksman has got to be *THE* most fun weapon I've ever used. I've been an FPS player for 7 years. TF2 weapons and DOOM have *nothing* on the Marksman. The "ding, ding, pew, BOOM" will always have me coming back for more.
Honestly I like both, DooM makes it so you have to use every weapon to it advantage, constantly switching but in Ultrakill you can regenerate with close ranged combat so if you wanted you could use any weapon and succeed allowing you to play the way you want while still giving you the option to quickly weapon switch like doom
@@ricekrispies4994 you could argue that Ultrakill still wants you to swap through weapons as ranking up style is necessary to counter hard damage and actually do all content in the game
Damn bro, just got this game from the steam summer sale cause it looked really cool. I had such a hard time hitting the coins so I decided to look for guide on how to hit them more frequently. Stumbled upon this video and, wow. I had no idea this game had this much depth. I'm genuinely shocked and impressed. Kudos and much appreciation to you and the dev for making this video and creating such a masterpiece of a game.
2:26 the coin can target Core Ejects??? I learn something new about this game every day, jeez. Excellent guide, definitely gonna try some of this stuff while I work on getting the P-door open.
I think the key to all of this is that the dev didnt make mechanics/ interactive elements resrictive, like “ you can only jump off of blue walls” but instead its the exceptions where mechanics don’t interact. than means most objects are parriable/hitable, and its only very particular things that negate those mechanics. making mechanics universally applicable at first, and making restrictions few and far between for the sake of gameplay only.

Also when the coin interrupts an enemy's blast, the blast propels it into the air like with the Knuckleblaster, so you can throw another coin for the orbital blast
watching these tutorials for ultrakill really blows my mind. my brain doesn't work like this, i take mechanics at face value, so it doesn't occur to me that i can combine different weapons or parry my own stuff. it's really fun to learn these and see how creative other players are. definitely make my runtimes less abysmal when im not just relying on the base instructions for everything. thanks for such a cool series!!
You honestly have no idea just how much this helped. The Trajectory of the coin always threw me off and put me off from using it, but your explanation of how it works is already helping me place my shots better with the coin. Thank you so much homie!
As a new player who is still trying to grasp the controls, the platforming, and the franticness of combat, coins have been a lifesaver in allowing me to avoid getting hit while still keeping up some DPS… sucks that the first 2 layers all have low ceilings though, I keep losing my coins… also something’s up with my button presses because I can’t throw coins in quick succession.
Thanks for the guide, now I know what to do with the spare change in my pockets: I throw a coin, punch it onto someone and then shoot it with a pistol, it also work well in ULTRAKILL :)
This game is perfect, like holy shit I keep learning more and more about this game and everything is on point making the game better and better, and there's way more mechanics to more with the future of ULTRAKILL, this game is severely extremely underrated (and that's kinda good because the community doesn't get worse, but Hakita makes less money :[ )
Something important about Gabriel railcoining is that, in my testing, I've found that the technique becomes extremely reliable if you jump after throwing the first coin. In my many, many gabriel runs, I found that, so long as I could get in position to 4x rail coin him, jumping after the first time would result in maximum damage 100% of the time. The damage is identical to the coin add technique you showed at the end of the video, though it might also be a bit more reliable.
Yeah, honestly part of the reason I got into the game was because of all the wacky weapon combos. Mostly the hilarity of punching coins, enemy projectiles, drones, YOUR OWN BULLETS, and getting style points for "disrespect"
thank you SO much for this video, it's the most comprehensive cointrick video i've found anywhere and singlehandedly got me from a rank to p rank on like, the last five levels i've attempted.
Another way of lining up a coin punch is in a slide and looking straight up, you will meet the coin on its trajectory, and can punch several in a row(The timing for hitting more then 2 in a row is a little tricky). Not as useful compared to the quick coin punches from back walk and you need a stretch to slide on since it takes about 2 secs for the coins to meet your slide(dash slide can keep you safe during it), but whipping around and shooting your punched coins in the slide looks kinda cool.
I've never heard or played of Ultrakill was just told to put it on my wishlist. A buddy of mine got it for me for Christmas and the Marksman was the first thing I picked up and messed around with. Holy fuck this gun is so much fun. I think this is the best movement shooter I've ever played.
i didnt realize how cool the coin was untill this video. i probably wont try doing any of the super advanced stuff like railcoining or whatever, but before this video i didn't know you could chain multiple coins together for more damage, really fucking cool and might be my new favourite weapon now
"Foolish machine, you dare challenge, I, Minos the great-!" V1: *Ding* Thanks for the guide dude. After practicing with no enemies, I've been taking the coin toss to the Grid and practicing on Lenient level enemies. Gotta say, my aim has been improving a lot. Now if I can just improve my timing with parrying my shotgun shots...
NOTE ABOUT ACT II CHANGES (Minor spoilers ahead, but half the video contains spoilers anyway so...): 2:39 "Regardless of the distance, as long as line of sight is maintained, the coin will follow this priority list." As of patch 11, or the Act II (Wrath/Heresy update), this is no longer true for the core eject. The patch notes for patch 11 state: "Added a maximum distance limit to the coin trying to hit a core eject to avoid situations where the player would waste a coin on a core that's really far away instead of hitting a nearby enemy". And, as of patch 11b, the maximum distance to hit a core eject is based off the distance of the core eject from the *player* instead of its distance from the *coin*. The patch notes for patch 11b state: "A coin's max distance to attempt hitting a core eject or rocket is now based on the core's distance to the player rather than the coin to make "orbital nukes" possible again". 2:19 Speaking of the Act II update, if I read it correctly, according to the wiki, rockets are now placed above core ejects but below other coins on the priority list (Which means that, yes, rockets are now targeted by coins too). Tell me in the replies if I missed any, or if any more changes get introduced later down the line and I'll edit this comment accordingly... if TH-cam notifies me of the replies, that is. Great guide, by the way.
i'd like to tell about some stuff that i found and you didn't mention/didn't know: 1. alt revolver's shot kinda penetrates enemies but don't really hits nor deals damage enemies that are behind. although that "fake penetration" can actually hit coins and become a real shot. you can do same stuff with it as railcannon's penetrating shots. you can even make headshots combo with it dealing 8.5 (if i'm not mistaken) with only a coin and an uncharged shot. 2. you haven't mention the thing that you need to have the coin a bit higher than the enemy in order to make it hit the head. it's hard to explain but alt revolver's ricochets must be able to "see" enemy's weakpoint to properly hit them and deal headshot damage (think of it like it's streetcleaner's instakill weakpoint). so basically the data at 6:32 is kinda incorrect. i'm sure the fact that alt revolver deals less damage on ricocheting into weakpoints than default revolver seems weird to everyone. 3. killing malicious faces with charging their beam attacks back at them with coins is actually a legit and really useful strat even though it needs good amount of practice. it always kills malicious face in one shot even if it's not it's own beam. i'd recommend to do that in mid-air because it's more safe and forgivable for mistakes (though it's also a bit harder to pull off). you can also use this strat to redirect their beams to the enemies but that won't instakill them so it's much easier and reliable to just bait MaFs to shoot groups of enemies. anyway thanks for your guides, you really do a lot for the ultrakill's community
sometimes I just come back and watch this video, for absolutely no reason at all. I just really like the mechanics in this game, and the way that Herb explains them, as well as the tech that they allow you to do, is just chef's kiss. Keep up the good work!
I swear, every update, Hakita finds a way to either invalidate a part of this guide or add more and more to it. Case in point: the SRS Cannonball explosion from Wait of the World and more recently, the Sharpshooter Revolver in Back to The Cyber Grind. It'll be awesome when there's a definitive coin guide and won't need to worry about being outdated in some variety. Glad that most of the advice can still hold up though! ~~Oh and the Ferryman Skip~~ I mean what I didn't know this video came out ages before Act 2 was completed hahahaha couldn't be me
Hey, I think I discovered that you can dead coin by whiplashing coins mid-air. This is how you do it: 1. Toss two coins 2. Whiplash the coins when they are around the same height 3. Juggle the coins with the whiplash 4. Shoot one coin right as when you would whiplash the coin 5. Continue juggling the other coin 6. Toss another coin and start juggling it with the other one 7. Repeat steps 3-7 utilizing you had built up a lot of damage I tested this out in sand box and it should work.

Hakita saw this in-depth analysis of the mechanics as a challenge to find a way to make coins even more versatile.
So he added the Sharpshooter.
I think the key to all of this is that the dev didnt make mechanics/ interactive elements resrictive, like “ you can only jump off of blue walls” but instead its the exceptions where mechanics don’t interact. than means most objects are parriable/hitable, and its only very particular things that negate those mechanics. making mechanics universally applicable at first, and making restrictions few and far between for the sake of gameplay only.
Targeted exceptions first instead of targeted rules first. (“you can use this in all situations except”, instead of “you can ONLY use this in this particular situation”.)
thus we get stuff like the parry shotgun.
The amount of thought in mechanics and level design of this game is honestly astounding. I feel like it could compete for GOTY tbh.
Also when the coin interrupts an enemy's blast, the blast propels it into the air like with the Knuckleblaster, so you can throw another coin for the orbital blast

the silly little coins in my pockets
amazing guide, i really wasn't expecting so much info on the coins :)
Awesome video !
Now a lot of good players gonna destroy some 'Fat' enemies in only 1 rail shoot :)
i didnt realize how cool the coin was untill this video. i probably wont try doing any of the super advanced stuff like railcoining or whatever, but before this video i didn't know you could chain multiple coins together for more damage, really fucking cool and might be my new favourite weapon now
the amount of hidden depth in this game is ridiculous.
I only bought it 4 days ago, and every day ive had a _"you can do THAT??"_ moment.
That's the best part
It feels so good to learn tech on your own
I rarely used the coin because I barely understood how it works, but this video was very useful, and now I know how vital it is to use coins.
"Foolish machine, you dare challenge, I, Minos the great-!"
V1: *Ding*
Thanks for the guide dude.
After practicing with no enemies, I've been taking the coin toss to the Grid and practicing on Lenient level enemies. Gotta say, my aim has been improving a lot.
Now if I can just improve my timing with parrying my shotgun shots...
This is first video about ultrakill I have seen in my life
I love this game.
Herb, I love your videos.
Thanks man!
I love chaining the penny with the care shot, it's just beautiful
The way you can create combos with the punch, the shotgun grenade, the coins, it seems like this game has an infinite skill ceiling.
This is the purest iteration of:
“The dollar is the most powerful weapon on the battlefield”
I will try in real life
(You) kept us waiting huh? Well worth the wait buddy.
Also RIP nightmare V2 when the next patch comes.
And i thought i was good with the coin cuz i can headshot enemies at the other side of the map, really nice guide btw
Just found this video, incredible tech that I never even thought possible. Ultrakill just pushed the boundary further than Doom did for fps's
Came to learn how to do the thing at the end, learned everything else instead. By Gabriel there’s a lot you can do with the coin.
i might be picking up the game and honestly this blew my mind, im definitely changing the might into a 100% guarantee that im playing this
this can be very helpful, if i am able to ever hit the coin in all the actions and chaos, that is
i love how everything blends with eachother and the limits are literally ur imagination i love it i love ultrakill
quality content for Ultrakill player :>
NOTE ABOUT ACT II CHANGES (Minor spoilers ahead, but half the video contains spoilers anyway so...):
2:39 "Regardless of the distance, as long as line of sight is maintained, the coin will follow this priority list." As of patch 11, or the Act II (Wrath/Heresy update), this is no longer true for the core eject.
The patch notes for patch 11 state: "Added a maximum distance limit to the coin trying to hit a core eject to avoid situations where the player would waste a coin on a core that's really far away instead of hitting a nearby enemy".
And, as of patch 11b, the maximum distance to hit a core eject is based off the distance of the core eject from the *player* instead of its distance from the *coin*.
The patch notes for patch 11b state: "A coin's max distance to attempt hitting a core eject or rocket is now based on the core's distance to the player rather than the coin to make "orbital nukes" possible again".
2:19 Speaking of the Act II update, if I read it correctly, according to the wiki, rockets are now placed above core ejects but below other coins on the priority list (Which means that, yes, rockets are now targeted by coins too).
Tell me in the replies if I missed any, or if any more changes get introduced later down the line and I'll edit this comment accordingly... if TH-cam notifies me of the replies, that is.
Great guide, by the way.
ultrakill is the kind of game that the skill ceiling is infinite yet it's fun to get good
9:47 V2 with that Big Floppy
"ultrakill has no skill ceiling you just shoot stuff". My brother in arms, it took 20 minutes to explain ONE mechanic
my brother in arms, that's a strawman
7:37 i literally couldn’t focus on what this guy was saying
“Machine, what the fuck are you doing”
i'd like to tell about some stuff that i found and you didn't mention/didn't know:
1. alt revolver's shot kinda penetrates enemies but don't really hits nor deals damage enemies that are behind. although that "fake penetration" can actually hit coins and become a real shot. you can do same stuff with it as railcannon's penetrating shots. you can even make headshots combo with it dealing 8.5 (if i'm not mistaken) with only a coin and an uncharged shot.
2. you haven't mention the thing that you need to have the coin a bit higher than the enemy in order to make it hit the head. it's hard to explain but alt revolver's ricochets must be able to "see" enemy's weakpoint to properly hit them and deal headshot damage (think of it like it's streetcleaner's instakill weakpoint). so basically the data at 6:32 is kinda incorrect. i'm sure the fact that alt revolver deals less damage on ricocheting into weakpoints than default revolver seems weird to everyone.
3. killing malicious faces with charging their beam attacks back at them with coins is actually a legit and really useful strat even though it needs good amount of practice. it always kills malicious face in one shot even if it's not it's own beam. i'd recommend to do that in mid-air because it's more safe and forgivable for mistakes (though it's also a bit harder to pull off). you can also use this strat to redirect their beams to the enemies but that won't instakill them so it's much easier and reliable to just bait MaFs to shoot groups of enemies.
anyway thanks for your guides, you really do a lot for the ultrakill's community
sometimes I just come back and watch this video, for absolutely no reason at all. I just really like the mechanics in this game, and the way that Herb explains them, as well as the tech that they allow you to do, is just chef's kiss. Keep up the good work!
I swear, every update, Hakita finds a way to either invalidate a part of this guide or add more and more to it. Case in point: the SRS Cannonball explosion from Wait of the World and more recently, the Sharpshooter Revolver in Back to The Cyber Grind. It'll be awesome when there's a definitive coin guide and won't need to worry about being outdated in some variety. Glad that most of the advice can still hold up though!
~~Oh and the Ferryman Skip~~ I mean what I didn't know this video came out ages before Act 2 was completed hahahaha couldn't be me
18 minutes to learn about a single mechanic, i love it
anybody looking at this after the wrath & heresy update, the coin has a limit on how far it’ll hit shotgun cores now!
0:34 that coin toss really just saved him from demonitization.
What the ost called on that coin toss
@@joe-lb7rjultrakill ost glory (or guts)
I know I'm a week late but is there any possible way I could get my hands on a standalone clip of that dancing V1
Hey, I think I discovered that you can dead coin by whiplashing coins mid-air. This is how you do it:
1. Toss two coins
2. Whiplash the coins when they are around the same height
3. Juggle the coins with the whiplash
4. Shoot one coin right as when you would whiplash the coin
5. Continue juggling the other coin
6. Toss another coin and start juggling it with the other one
7. Repeat steps 3-7 utilizing you had built up a lot of damage
I tested this out in sand box and it should work.
I always wondered if they 3d print those coins inside thyselves
Most likely, the coins are made from the iron in the blood that V1 absorbs.
You're the reason I learnt how to play the game properly, thank you \uwu/
