Skillshots are the most important feature of Bulletstorm. The game focuses on using these skillshots to distinguish itself from the plethora of other first-person shooter games (FPS). While it is entirely possible to play the game like a normal FPS and simply kill enemies, it is far more entertaining and beneficial to use skillshots. Skillshots allow you to receive skillpoints (sp) for killing an enemy in a skillful fashion. Skillpoints are used to upgrade your arsenal and impress your teammates. Skillshots can also be stacked on top of each other to earn even more sp. When a skillshot is performed for the first time, the player is awarded five times the normal amount of sp earned. Skillshots are displayed in three different colors to distinguish value. Blue are worth 25sp, yellow are worth 50sp, and red are worth 100sp. You can also earn 1250sp and 1750sp for some Secret, one-time-only skillshots. If you kill multiple opponents with a single skillshot your sp will be multiplied by the number of enemies and the resulting number will also be multiplied by the number of enemies (e.g. If you kill three enemies with the Chain Reaction skillshot, you gain 50sp × 3 = 150sp × 3 = 450sp). There are a total of 135 different skillshots in the game.
