V1 is the main playable protagonist and a blood-fueled "Supreme Machine" in the fast-paced retro-style first-person shooter game ULTRAKILL. Created as a prototype war machine near the end of a massive 200-year conflict called the Final War, V1 descends into Hell to harvest blood from husks, demons, and angels just to stay functional.Design and MechanicsBlood Absorption: V1 features experimental exterior plating that absorbs fresh blood on contact. This allows the machine to instantly repair damage and refuel mid-combat without stopping.Fragile Frame: Because the absorption plating requires thinness, V1's chassis is light, fast, and agile, but much more brittle and fragile compared to later mass-produced models like V2.Arsenal & Arms: V1 can store an extensive collection of heavy weapons and interchangeable arms (such as the Feedbacker and Knuckleblaster) via an energy-to-matter storage system, letting it perform high-speed maneuvers like sliding, dashing, and parrying projectiles.A short video explaining V1's origin, design, and comparison to V2:
