Play as V2 ULTRAKILL
This mod let you play as the boss V2 by changing some mechanics of the game.
Gameplay Changes
The player starts with 400 health per level instead of 100; for Harmless, the player starts with 800 health instead of 200.
Respawn health is 400 for lower difficulties and 200 for higher difficulties. There are also new healthbars up to 400; frankly I don't know how I got them to work. Divine Intervention, perhaps.
Healing from blood and parrying is disabled, but higher style decreases damage taken.
ANARCHIC grants 15% damage reduction, SUPREME 30%, SSADISTIC 45%, SSSHITSTORM 60% and ULTRAKILL 80%.
The textures of V1 and V2 are also swapped in a majority of in-game instances.
The text of the introduction is also changed slightly.
Cyber Grind and level submissions are disabled, although in the Cyber Grind the player only heals every 5 waves.
The mod works with custom levels, although some custom levels or instances of texture swaps in said levels may be broken.
Development
I'm a near complete novice to coding and modding, so even though my personal playtesting showed little to no issues, this mod may be buggy. You can report bugs by pinging me in the New Blood Discord.
A list of possible changes in the future is below:
- Make certain attributes configurable/toggleable, such as health and texture swapping
- Add a toggleable "V2 Revolver" mode, firing 3 quick shots with a small cooldown
- Possibly do something similar with the rocket launcher
- Make the Knuckleblaster into the starting/tutorial fist instead of the Feedbacker
- The V2/V1 boss fight would drop the Feedbacker instead
- Add more healthbars up to 1000
- Possibly change other text throughout the game
- Possibly change damage reduction per style rank values based on feedback
- Or just make it configurable... lol...
- Possibly add a mechanic to heal outside of combat at the expense of something else, likely style points
- Possibly make V2/V1 a more complex boss fight
- May fork into a separate sister mod
