Core Eject Pumping

Execute high-risk, high-reward Core Eject Pumping in ULTRAKILL. Learn to detonate the Shotgun's alternate fire for massive damage.

Core Eject Pumping is a high-risk, high-reward technique that leverages the explosive power of the Shotgun's alternate fire. By firing the Core Eject, then immediately switching to another weapon to detonate it, you can create massive explosions that deal immense damage. This is particularly effective against large, stationary targets or tightly packed groups of enemies.

The core mechanic involves firing the Shotgun's Core Eject, which launches a projectile that can be detonated by subsequent weapon fire. The most common and effective detonator is the Revolver's standard shot. The timing is crucial: you need to fire the Core Eject, then quickly switch to the Revolver and fire again before the Core Eject dissipates. This creates a powerful explosion at the location of the Core Eject.

This technique is incredibly potent against bosses and minibosses. A well-placed Core Eject followed by a detonation can strip away a significant portion of their health. It's also excellent for clearing out rooms filled with tough enemies like Malicious Faces or armored Husks. The explosion radius is substantial, making it ideal for dealing with multiple threats at once.

However, Core Eject Pumping requires careful positioning. The explosion is indiscriminate, meaning it can damage you if you are too close. Always ensure you have enough distance to safely detonate the Core Eject. Mastering the quick-switch between the Shotgun and Revolver is paramount. Practice this sequence in less demanding encounters to build muscle memory. When executed correctly, Core Eject Pumping is one of the most devastating offensive maneuvers in ULTRAKILL.
