ULTRAKILL Receives Eighth Layer Titled "Fraud"
The ultra-violent shooter ULTRAKILL has been expanded with its eighth layer — Fraud. With this update, players can expect new levels featuring unconventional designs, ranging from typical office spaces to grim red corridors. You can already get a taste of the visual style of these locations — the developers have released a launch trailer showcasing key gameplay moments and the atmosphere of the new content.
In addition to the fresh levels, the game has received a new track, N I 4 N I, for the endless Cyber Grind mode. The musical accompaniment is designed to heighten the tension and dynamism of the battles characteristic of this survival mode.
A significant portion of the update is dedicated to balance adjustments and bug fixes. The developers have implemented several notable changes to weapon characteristics.
- For instance, the melee chainsaw on the shotgun now breaks after 60 non-lethal hits — this adds tactical depth to its use.
- The knuckleblaster has received increased attack range and improved health recovery efficiency from hits, making it a more attractive choice for close-quarters combat.
- The harpoon has also been reworked: its area of effect has been increased, making it easier to hit enemies at medium range.
The team also focused on fixing bugs related to level geometry. Previously, such flaws could hinder comfortable progression and affect gameplay — now these issues have been resolved. The full list of changes is available on the game's official page.
The community's reaction to the eighth circle of hell has been positive. In recent Steam reviews, players note the high difficulty of the new levels, which has pleased fans of hardcore gameplay. Some gamers call Fraud proof of ULTRAKILL's "greatness," emphasizing that the update has solidified the game's status as one of the most intense and demanding shooters on the market.
