Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
might be the next super popular battle royale-style game to hit PC and
consoles. In fact, it’s so popular that the Fall Guy servers are having
problems keeping up with the excitement on launch day.
Whether you’re enjoying the
chaotic action on PlayStation or on Windows via Steam, you’ve probably
struggled to be the last jelly bean-person standing. If you need some tips and
tricks or general advice on how to win, Polygon’s Fall Guys beginner’s guide will
give you a floppy leg up on your competition.
JUMP, DIVE, AND GRAB
Just about every game type in
Fall Guys relies on you not falling to your doom, and you’ve only got three
moves to avoid a plummet: jump, dive, and grab.
Master jumping first. Jumping is simple, but it can get you out of a lot of trouble and give you an edge. In games where you need to jump to safety, like See Saw or Gate Crash, take the opportunity to learn how far and how high your normal jump is. These race game types are great for experimenting with the game’s physics. If you fall out of bounds here, you won’t immediately lose. You’ll just reappear at the last checkpoint. Every death can be a learning opportunity.
