Ultra Menu and Gold Look
The ULTRA settings tab and the gold look it controls: nametag, chat name, HUD frames, sparkles, the /sparkle emote, vehicle trail and membership card.
Updated 2026-11-09ultrasettingscosmeticsemotehud
Every Ultra setting lives in one place: the gold ULTRA tab of the Settings window. This page explains that tab and the gold look that marks an Ultra member in the world.
Added in B105 (October 19, 2026). It works the same on desktop, web and mobile.
Opening the ULTRA tab
- Open the NanoCom.
- Choose Settings.
- Pick the gold ULTRA tab, after CONTROLS.
Everyone has the tab. Non-members see what each perk does, a GET ULTRA button and PREVIEW THE GOLD LOOK, which dresses you in the Golden Tux with a gilded weapon for 20 seconds. Only you see the preview, and it can be used again after a minute.
What is on the tab
The left side holds three boxes.
- MEMBERSHIP: your membership card (see below).
- CLUB FUSION: the TELEPORT TO CLUB FUSION button. Inside the club it reads LEAVE CLUB FUSION. See Club Fusion.
- NANO MIX: opens the fusion window. See Nano Mix.
The right side switches between pages with the buttons in the gold header: PERKS, PIXEL 3D, BOUNTIES and DISCORD. The Discord page is open to everyone. Bounties are covered in Bounties.
The PERKS page
| Row | Control | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| RARE MONS RADAR | On / Off | Shows the radar bar. See Rare Radar |
| RADAR CHIME | On / Off | A soft chime when a rare mon gets close |
| SPECIAL GOLD UI | On / Off | Gold HUD frames |
| VEHICLE TRAIL | On / Off | A gold sparkle trail while you ride |
| GOLD GLIDER | On / Off | Lets a second jump in mid-air open the glider. See Gold Glider |
| FIRST PERSON | On / Off | Experimental first-person view. See Ultra First Person |
| SPARKLES | Full / Subtle / Off | How many gold sparkles are drawn |
| WEAPON GOLD TINT | Slider, 50% to 100% | How gold your gilded gear looks |
| PAST / FUTURE | Button | Time travel. See Ultra Time Travel |
| ULTRA REWARDS | CLAIM REWARDS | Delivers reward items that were waiting for bag space |
All switches start on, except FIRST PERSON.
The membership card
The MEMBERSHIP box shows:
- your status, such as "Ultra active until" with the date;
- ULTRA BONUS: "+10% XP & taros · Daily Ultra Gift · free revive";
- three tallies, Forever, Monthly and Active, counting the perks you have in each group;
- "Ultra since" with the month you joined and the number of months. One, two and three loyalty stars appear at 3, 6 and 12 months;
- the time until your next Daily Ultra Gift;
- "Ultra item characters: 2 of 4", the number of characters that have taken a reward slot.
SEE MY PERKS opens the full perk window, with a tick on every perk you already have. The same window opens by itself as Welcome to Ultra! each time a membership starts.
Gold nametag and chat name
- Your name above your head is drawn in gold with a moving gleam and small sparkles. It is a little larger than a normal name and stays readable from farther away.
- In chat your name is gold with a star in front of it. This covers the World, Buddy, Group and Guild channels.
- Your name is also gold in buddy, group and guild lists.
- Your overhead chat bubbles get a thin gold edge.
Everyone sees these, members or not. There is no switch for them: they follow your membership.
Special Gold UI
With SPECIAL GOLD UI on, the cyan rims of your HUD turn gold: the minimap ring, your character frame, the Nano plate, the NanoCom, the chat box and the quick-slot bar. Small stars twinkle on the frames.
Only frames change. The map, portraits, text and Nano tiles keep their own colours. Other players do not see your HUD, so this one is purely for you.
Sparkles
SPARKLES scales every Ultra sparkle you see: HUD stars, nametags, gold suits, gilded gear and vehicle trails.
- Full is the default on desktop and on the web.
- Subtle halves them, and is the default on mobile.
- Off removes them. Use it if the effects cost you frame rate.
If your device is set to reduce motion, sparkles start at Off.
The /sparkle emote
Type /sparkle in chat, or pick ★ Sparkle in the EMOTE list. A shower of gold stars falls around you, and everyone nearby sees it.
- Members only. Non-members see the entry as "★ Sparkle (Ultra)".
- It recharges for 10 seconds between uses.
- The same shower plays when you use the free revive.
Under Sparkle in the EMOTE list sits ★ Army, the Nano Army emote.
Gold vehicle trail
With VEHICLE TRAIL on, a trail of gold sparkles follows you while you ride a hoverboard or another vehicle. Other players see the trail behind Ultra riders too.
Weapon gold tint
The slider sets how strongly your gilded weapons and clothes are plated in gold, from 50% to 100% in steps of 5. The default is 80%. It is one setting for the character, not per item, and other players see your gear with your tint.
The slider only matters once you have gilded something with an Ultra Gold Voucher.
Platform notes
- Desktop and web show everything on this page.
- Mobile uses the same tab with touch controls. Sparkles start on Subtle, the radar bar is not shown on phones and tablets, and FIRST PERSON keeps the normal camera on phones.
When Ultra ends
The gold nametag, chat name, HUD frames, trail and /sparkle switch off at once. The rows on the PERKS page lock and show RENEW ULTRA. CLAIM REWARDS keeps working, so items that were still owed can always be collected. Your gilded gear keeps the last tint you chose.
