Hakita talks about ULTRAKILL's inf. ammo.

clip from the year old dev stream

this can be considered lazy content but im out of ideas. (btw "under the mayo" this is directed towards you)

might've gotten the captions wrong

[cybereon]

Ultrakill's ammo is basically the weapon freshness style multiplier

[sandmars]

The ammo is your attention, and when you go "What the fuck just happened?" That's your reload.

Hakita was really playing 4d chess with mayo all along. What a true Chad

[suppidish]

I love how Hakita's design philosophy boils down to "Make the player do cool stuff"

[motoyomakoto]

The fact that he also made lores for infinite ammo mechanics is so cool. Shotguns shoot heats that generate from the cores. Pistols have self recharge batteries and stuff like that.

[xann]

Ammo really only works on slower and more metodically games, having to stop a rampage to find ammo in a faster game sounds like having a fun limiter

[testhekid]

something i like about ultrakill that makes it stand out from other games is that it doesnt fight against the player, it gives them all these tools and infinite resources because its main goal is for the player to have fun and do whatever their bloodthirsty instincts wants them to do

“Devs take notes. This is how you send the fun ceiling into the stratosphere as well as uh, myself”

"why no ammo"
"because its not cool"
amazing answer and honestly nobody who has played ultrakill can argue, the cool stuff is pretty cool

[gametram]

it is now my headcanon dante p-ranked hell before v1

'Infinite ammo'

[vexed]

“So why did you decide on infinite ammo?”
“Uh, are you a fuckin dork? Watch me bounce a railgun off a coin”

[tvhaha]

People always talk about range weapon ammo but they never talk about melee weapon durability

[RimInTheInternet]

Under the mayo crying in the corner rn

[cheetodust]

Underthemayo when a dev forces a playstyle that encourages you to have fun and be flashy instead of min maxing as if you were playing nightmare mode on doom

[ItalianArsonist]

an ammunition count would suck because people would stop building nuclear weapons in mid air

[MaxDoesThings]

Not to mention that in the weapon terminal entries, it even mentions for the revolver that it will take weeks/months of constant shooting for it to "run out of ammo, " so even the game has reasons as to why it's that way.

[miguelcontreras]

This game is the literal definition of the rule of cool

Hakita trying not to be based (Impossible)

hakita's words speak to me, when i was a kid playing the half life games i would be extremely stingy with all my resources, loading saves if i accidentally wasted health or ammo, which often led to me breaking open ammo crates but getting nothing from them since i was already full on everything.
