In its first week, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout sold over two million copies on Steam alone thanks to its accessible and welcoming gameplay. PlayStation 4 owners got lucky by receiving it on release day for free with a PlayStation Plus subscription. Few players are masters at every game mode, and the element of luck in some of the games makes for an even playing field.
The following list will present sound strategies for every mini game. There are over twenty in all, though some of them are compacted into one entry because a similar strategy is effective for several races and team modes.
13 Races
The race modes come in many different forms, but one constant rule ensures survival: never try to be in front or in the crowd. Some races require an element of trial and error, so it is better to leave people in front to figure out the right path and follow behind. Don't try to be in the crowd because it is easy to get trampled and pushed back.
12 Jump Club, Roll Out, And Block Party
These three games would be a piece of cake if other players were not also fighting for survival. With this in mind, keep a safe distance from others while escaping a fall. This is difficult in Block Party where people need to crowd into a hole, but try to be in front of the crowd who usually stand in the middle of the platform.
11 Tail Tag
This mode is either a free-for-fall, team game, or a finale. For the first two, it is relatively easy to stay innocuous once the tail is in possession. Running in circles or sitting in a corner with keen eyes should be enough to survive. For the finale, try cutting off the tail-holder instead of chasing from behind.
10 Fall Ball
This soccer-themed match is extremely reliant on the whole team, which can be difficult when playing with strangers. If no one is playing defense, take it upon yourself to become the goalie. The physic are admittedly wonky, but diving into the ball should send it flying pretty far.
9 Perfect Match
Perfect Match is all about memory. For the most part, players should be okay as long so they follow the crowd if their memorization skills are poor. Just be weary of malicious players who aim to push others off the edge. To avoid this, stay away from the outer blocks.
8 See Saw
See Saw deserves special mention because of the physics involved. Staying behind a leader is not enough to make it through this one. Don't jump the gun on the seesaws, as landing on a sloped side will cause the player to roll right to their doom. Instead, play it patiently and wait until the platforms even out.
7 Rock And Roll
Pushing the ball through the course is simple, but there is a way to win just in case the team is trailing behind. All the tracks come together during the final hill, giving players an opportunity to hold back other teams' balls.
The end of these matches can go on for minutes as two teams fight each other to get the ball rolling into the goal.
6 Egg Scramble And Hoarders
These team games are all about taking eggs or balls and bringing them into the team's area. There are two ways to go about it. One can scramble for as many items right away and defend their findings, or they can let other teams take the early pickings and then steal from them during the course of the match.
5 Jinx
If a player on the opposite team has pink clouds and lines circling them, avoid them like the plague. Two rotating platforms on both sides of the map are generally the safest place to be. They give a good view of the map and offer a quick escape if a jinxed player starts to give chase.
4 Hoopsie Daisy
Players gain points for their team by jumping through hoops. After collecting the point, the hoop temporarily disappears. Do not panic when trying to jump through it and try to stay in areas where other players are. The more the team spreads out, the more ground they can cover.
3 Slime Climb
This race is different because slime constantly rises, and falling into it means immediate elimination. Those talented at platformers have an advantage.
Do not try and rush, as there is plenty of time to get through his climb of death. Some players wait by the finish line to kill other players, but they can be avoided with a simple jump dive over their heads.
2 Fall Mountain
The other tips about races do not apply here. Rush and try to stay in first place to nab the crown. Just be sure to time the final jump correctly. The crown bobs up & down and is easy to miss. It is not enough to touch it either; the player must press the grab button to achieve victory.
1 Hex-A-Gone
A couple of strategies exist to Hex-A-Gone. One entails falling to lower levels first in order to better control the board and cause people higher up to fall into holes you already made. The second one is more aggressive. Try to cut off other players, causing them to fall first. In addition to that, don't be afraid to jump on floating platforms and even dive jump to remain on the same floor a little longer.
