Beat Hazard Ultra Weapons

[AgitoM]

Been playing Beat Hazard Classic for year, recently decided to play Beat Hazard Ultra a try. Very much like the variety of enemies, however I am confused about the new weapons.
"Ultra Beam", "Missles" etc.

Am playing with a controller, but am not sure how to use the additional weapons. Basically only Super Bomb appears to work. Anybody can tell me how to use the other weapons? If they are picked up as power ups, I don't appear to be getting them either.

Can anybody tell me how to use the power up (which controller button), or in what game mode they will appear as power ups that can be picked up?

Have you unlocked them yet? Also check your controls in the options.

yeah in the option you can select whitch buttons to choose. We cant tell whitch buttons per default cause it depends on your controller (xbox most are lb/rb/rt,lt by default).
When they don't appear, you havent unlocked the perks. First you have to unlock them by level, then you aswell have to buy them.
just a tip: the ultra beam perks are quite expensive and less importand than superbombs, shields and missiles (in this order). I'd always sacrifice a shield to get a superbomb eg because the superbomb is as well a shield as youre immortal when launching it.
And that's how you should manage your controls: the most important pickups should be most easy to reach.
Btw i find mouse control much easier (faster). I'm using wasd and e for shield, q for beam, f for missiles and rmb for the superbomb. Works good.

Found the Homing Missles in the "Manage Perks" screen. But the other options are not shown. What needs to be done to unlock those as well?

Every time you level up you will see screen that suggest you to choose one perk to unlock. Then you can buy them from Manage perks menu
