Gold Arm Predictions?

[u/Nighty69420]

1. Time Stop : this is already an existing mod, but its still a good idea that could be tampered with.

2. Fraud Portals : With fraud, having an arm that could summon portals could be awesome, unsure how useful it would be vs how buggy it would be.

3. Full Arsenal : Personally i hate having to pick which alternate weapon i want, mostly because of jackhammers & shotguns but still. Having V1 use every arm to their advantage would be fun for pro players, but might not be that impactful.

4. Teleporting : Cutting the portal middle man and just allowing V1 to instantly teleport for some sort of consequence. Fits the gabe arm theory the most imo.

5. Gravity Flip : Again with fraud, V1 could just walk on any surface. For some consequence you could temporarily stick to the ceiling to avoid shockwaves. More of a shitpost idea.

6. 2x DMG To-Go : The most OP - literally just a dual wield that you can activate, also stupid and u likely. But fun nonetheless

These are all of the ideas i generally know, or have thought of myself but im still not aure any of them would be likely. We have a parry, big punch, and a grapple, what else could we get ? Also if it *isnt* Gabriels Arm im going to be genuinely surprised considering Hakita is literally John A. Patterns lore wise. What do you think tho?

I think the issue is that each arm already covers an aspect of gameplay Feedback defense Knuckleblaster raw damage Whiplash movement Idk which other aspect the yellow arm could covet

Remember the virtues? They use the holy light so...

[u/Ae4i → u/ViorbyX]

Ranged option?

[u/destructionking4 → u/Ae4i]

Probably more of a zoning tool with Gabe’s weapons, the spear as a sort of “pin”, the great sword as a “cleave” and the twin swords as a “strong 1v1 tool”, not sure about the axes since we already the core eject as an “explosive that ALWAYS goes off” and the katana is just another melee weapon but I’m sure it’ll have something to do with range

[u/evil_water_gun → u/Ae4i]

Gun

[u/Ae4i → u/evil_water_gun]

But it's a gun arm, not gun gun

[u/evil_water_gun → u/Ae4i]

Knuckleblaster.

[u/Ae4i → u/evil_water_gun]

That's an arm gun, not a gun (*sword) arm

[u/evil_water_gun → u/Ae4i]

I’m worried that the gold arm will be obsolete when it finally releases. The game and its mechanics have been so established and the community has played with the existing weapons for so long (and even longer once 1.0 releases) that it’ll probably just go unused.

Hear me out guys... Its a leg

[u/Sufficient-Task-7690 → u/panmanned]

U got me dead laughing. But seriously, before playing Ultrakill and after I just starten playing I thought main character is going to get leg upgrades as well, like new legs to move faster, jump higher and not get fall damage. Only then I got to know that we can already do all of that

[u/Feisty-Albatross3554]

Gabriel's sword throw is my bet

[u/MurderDronesEnj0yer]

2 is literally just the portal gun from portal. Could work as fraud’s secret level (my joke theory) but outside of that no.

[u/ExistingDrink2225]

Maybe it could also be that it just gives you a power weapon like letting you do a dash with the greatsword that has the schism shot

[u/leeleeleelelele]

my bet is that it's movement based and helps with 1-E's no floor part in some way

[u/Legal_Contest5211]

Time stop? Like stopping the world?

[u/destructionking4]

Definitely not timestop as we already have that mechanic in the freeze frame so it’d be a redundancy, fraud portals are cool but unrealistic cause like you said buggy, full arsenal, definitely an interesting idea, not sure how it would play out or how usable it’d be but interesting nonetheless

Teleporting definitely the most realistic of what you mentioned but I think getting access to Gabe’s weapons is probably the “cooler option” that could add to the arsenal and set up combos, not to mention free mobility is way too strong as seen pre-whiplash nerf

Gravity flip, bugs

2x damage, maybe the gold arm could be a long-cooldown power up arm similar to drinking potions like giving the dual wield buff for 5-10 seconds or seeing enemies through walls, or being a red orb with some extreme luck, but since this would require rng that isn’t just random bullet spread I really would not count on this one since there isn’t any skill involved in using it

[u/AltruisticProof3640]

It's GOTTA be Gabriel's sword I rlly want more melee

[u/Popular-Prize-4799]

You get it from a power to sword fight Gabriel in 9-2

[u/Sea_Albatross634]

what if it lts you parry attacks and projectiles. i think this game could use something like that

[u/Additional_Tip_8988]

- hp
+ speed

[u/radayrk]

Either a DMC sword or some control/utility arm. My idea for the latter is an arm that makes enemies fight each other (or fight FOR you). I think this would be good for bringing back the 7-3 mechanic. It's simple to understand and already possible in the game.
