How exactly does splitshot work. How do you guarentee it?

[A_pet_tick]

Ive heared a lot of talk about "splitshot" which i assume is some phenomenon that has to do with hitting mutliple enemeies with coins. I feel like ive done that before but have no idea how to guarentee/trigger it. Pls help

1. You can only do it with the normal Marksman
2. It is triggered when you shoot a coin just as it flashes
3. Shooting the coin makes it targets two heads (or explosion points)

This helps a lot. I assumed that it was only after the flash, not during.

Another question i have is how can you chain splitshots (or at least have more than one splitshot occur by having multiple coins in the air at the same time)? The terminal data on the flesh prison suggests that I should be doing it alrealdy, so Im more just asking how hard is it exactly to achieve that.

Also thanks to both of you for the quick response

Can’t, closest you can get is to launch them as fast as possible and shoot the newest coin as it flashes, your best bet is to do splitshots one at a time.

There’s a video on Youtube about coins in Ultrakill, I suggest that you watch that

here's a whole ass guide on literally everything about the coin

There's an early timing at the flash (0.33s) and a late timing any point after the coin "sings" (1s+).
slab shots still benefit from the split timing; it adds hits. If you aren't getting multiple pierces, slab piercer charge shots actually outperform the blue rail. The railcannons can bounce off of coins and get a slight damage bonus, but they don't benefit from the early/late windows.
You can do around half of the 4-2 Sisyphean Insurrectionist's health with a couple of multiarm buffs, the slab charge shot, and coins thrown straight upwards.

Also, while the slab charge shot normally does 4 hits to the first enemy and 2 hits to a second enemy behind it, using a coin forces all hits to dump on the same target until it dies. Even with a single coin, slab charges are powerful.

You do this by throwing coins straigh up into the air to get airtime and make them "sing" which then causes splitshots.

If both coins are in a "split" window, then they will cause a splitshot when they chain together. It's easiest to do this on coins that are in the second split window (when they're falling to the ground).

I mean to throw all four in quick succession, in the same manner you would do to quickly take out a hard enemy
