  • Shroud believes Fallout 76 would be “interesting” change to OfflineTV Rust server – Dexerto

    Shroud believes Fallout 76 would be “interesting” change to OfflineTV Rust server Bethesda / Twitch: ShroudOffline TV fans are waiting to see which game they will choose to host their next server on, and Shroud thinks Fallout 76 could be an interesting one, but only if they address some issues. Fallout 76 never quite hit the mark when it was released. It had a catastrophic launch and was described as everything from bizarre and dull to entirely broken. However, it has come a long way since then, and while it isn’t perfect, it’s not the hot mess it once was. It’s not considered to be one of the most exciting games at the moment. That doesn’t mean it can’t be fun though. In fact, Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek thinks it could potentially be a good fit to host the next Offline TV server. “I’m waiting on BaboAbe and OTV to start a Fallout 76 server when they run out of other games,” said a viewer. Shroud looked a little bemused at first, but he thought about it for a moment and realized it wasn’t a bad idea. “Fallout 76 server? What?” said Shroud. “That sounds kind of interesting. But at the same time, it doesn’t make much sense. If it was a system where you could, like when you spawn in, and you don’t default start in Vault 76, it wouldn’t be that bad.” However, he still had some doubts about whether it could work. “But just how I imagine that is… it just makes no sense,” he added. “Everyone just starts off at the beginning, and they just run around, and they do the exact same things. Every single person. That doesn’t make sense to me.” Read More: Shroud blasts CSGO’s cheating problems – Fortunately, he came up with a solution. “Now, if there was a world in which maybe two people spawn at the vault, two people spawn at the prison, and two people spawn down at the mines, then that would be interesting, because they would be all over the place, and they would be scattered.” Fallout 76 is not the game everyone has in mind for the next Offline TV server. Many other games could be a better fit. So, while it’s an interesting prospect, the chances are it probably won’t happen. Still, if they can somehow mix up the spawn locations, it could be an exciting idea to explore. We’ll have to wait and see what happens next.

  • Fallout 76 Wise Mothman location: Where to find and rewards – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 Wise Mothman location: Where to find and rewards BethesdaFallout 76 makes the most out of its West Virginian folklore with the inclusion of Mothman and other legends. Here’s where you can find the mysterious cryptid. Those familiar with cryptozoology may already know about Mothman. In legend, he’s a humanoid being that stalks the skies of West Virginia, making prophetic revelations to those unlucky enough to cross his path. Fallout 76 goes all-in on the myth, taking full advantage of its setting and makes Mothman a legendary monster in the game universe too. In fact, he can be found during a random encounter and much of his lore can be discovered in the game – along with him. Like the rest of those who inhabit the Fallout games, Mothman has also felt the effects of nuclear war. Since the bombs, some residents of the wasteland have begun to worship Mothman like a god, mistaking his myth for something more. However, in Fallout, Mothman is more than just a legend; he’s very real. Contents Mothman Encounters There is a very good reason why Mothman is worshipped in Fallout 76, but we’ll let you discover why for yourself. You’ll start hearing about Mothman well before you get the chance to meet him. You can do this by spending time with the Cult of Mothman faction in Appalachia. Although, these guys have shrines all over the map. Read More: Fallout 76 Nuke Codes – In-game, there are actually many Mothmen, apparently descended from the original pre-war Wise Mothman. They can be spotted in the wild and may only spawn during the evening and at specific random encounter locations. It’s also worth pointing out that you’ll never see a Mothman during the day. The good news is not all Mothmen attack the player on sight. Many will simply watch the player while they approach and won’t aggro unless provoked. The passive Mothmen will vanish, leaving a dark shadow behind. Wise Mothman location The Wise Mothman is the original Mothman of legend. He’s bigger than most Mothmen and has bright purple eyes. He’s also non-hostile to the player. In fact, he’s totally benevolent. The OG or Wise Mothman can be found during The Path to Enlightenment quest. This is a special event that takes place at the Landview Lighthouse in the Forest region of Appalachia. If you travel southeast from Vault 76, you’ll soon discover the location. It’s weird to see a lighthouse so far from the sea, but there’s a good reason. The lighthouse exists to summon Mothman. Interestingly it’s free from any Cult of Mothman members, except the skeleton at the top of the lighthouse. Reading this poor departed soul’s diary will lend some insight as to why the lighthouse exists. You can also find a terminal in the house that goes into more detail. The Path to Wise Mothman The area will be infested with fireflies and radtoads, but these enemies are the key to meeting the Wise Mothman. Killing them nets you Bioluminescent fluid. You need 50 of these to power up the lighthouse, so get to work. The toads drop the most fluid, so focus on them. You can make them respawn by running between the house and the lighthouse. Also, look out for some ghouls lurking nearby too, they’ll likely aggro once the melee begins. The process doesn’t take long. Once you have 50 Bioluminescent fluids, venture to the top of the lighthouse and deposit them into the lamp. You’ll receive random loot as a reward for your trouble. But you’ll also be treated to an encounter with the Wise Mothman. Mothman will wait for you at the bottom of the lighthouse. Approaching him is perfectly safe, and once you do he’ll grant you his boon of a 5% XP bonus for an hour. So, this is an excellent quest to complete before you do a bigger one that nets a lot of experience. Completing this mission also helps you progress in The Order of the Tadpole questline, so killing those toads is well worth your time. Wise Mothman can also be spotted during a random encounter throughout the game. This can happen anywhere. However, he won’t grant you his boon a second time, but he remains friendly. So that’s everything you need to know about Fallout 76’s Mothman! For all of the latest news, be sure to check out our dedicated Fallout 76 page.

  • Fallout 76’s return to Pittsburgh in The Pitt misses the mark for players – Dexerto

    Fallout 76’s return to Pittsburgh in The Pitt misses the mark for players Bethesda SoftworksFallout 76 users don’t seem too ecstatic about the newly released The Pitt update, which sees the property revisit Pittsburgh for the first time since Fallout 3. Bethesda originally teased the Pittsburg-set Expedition during E3 2021, then shared more details earlier in the year with Fallout 76’s 2022 content roadmap. As promised, The Pitt has since launched digitally across all platforms, inviting players to visit the ruined Steel City. The new Expedition tasks users with fending off Raiders who mean to overtake The Pitt and subjugate its denizens. But some fans have found the latest addition to Fallout 76 less than satisfactory. Fallout 76 players express disappointment in The Pitt update Thus far, mixed opinions about the newly released Fallout 76 content fill social media. While some users such as PneumaNism are “very pleased, so far,” others still don’t understand the excitement. In a response to a post about the Expedition on Fallout’s Twitter page, Jessica Rose called the new update “meh.” The player said, “The Pitt is basically an even longer daily op” that adds very little in terms of a storyline. Gamingwithgage chimed in with similar criticism, saying they wish Fallout 76 players could freely explore The Pitt. And Chems described the update as “glorified daily ops.” Fortunately, the content updates for Fallout 76 haven’t yet come to an end. The winter update will introduce Nuka World on Tour, a traveling sideshow whose forthcoming stop in Appalachia will unlock access to a new season, region boss, and public events. More details with regards to what Nuka World on Tour entails should surface in the months ahead. Fallout 76 is available to play now across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms.

  • Fallout 76 player explains why they nuked Phil Spencer’s camp – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 player explains why they nuked Phil Spencer’s camp BethesdaAfter Phil Spencer’s camp in Fallout 76 was nuked by another player, many speculated this was done out of protest to Xbox’s closing of multiple studios and laying off employees. However, that may not have been the case. The closure of studios such as Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin hasn’t sat well with a lot of fans since the announcement, and the head of Xbox has come under fire for the decision. So when Spencer’s camp in Fallout 76 was nuked, it led many to believe it could be in response to the event. One player on the game’s subreddit joked that it could be an example of review bombing “evolving” as a way to campaign against Xbox. This was amplified when the culprit, who goes by real1090jake, posted on X to say that they made Xbox boss pay for how he “hurt” the employees who had lost their jobs. Made that boy Phil pay for how he hurt my Xbox brothers and sisters.. pic.twitter.com/4Z7I0j4cZw — Joe Grizzly Bitch🔪 (@real1090jake) May 9, 2024 While this made many believe it truly was an act of defiance, real1090jake did eventually explain that it was not the true intention behind the act. Speaking to Kotaku, they detail their reasoning behind dropping the massive explosion on Spencer’s camp, saying they’ve been “planning to catch him for awhile.” They went on to explain: “Trying to take him down was just a personal goal for me after I finished the main questline.” It seems that real1090jake just wanted to have a one-on-one fight with Phil, but when he was finally able to catch him alone, he was just greeted with a wave instead of fighting back. They say that their mention of getting back about the layoffs was a joke, but it was planned for weeks beforehand. While the intentions behind the nuking may not be about the recent controversy, it’s clear that Fallout 76 fans will use this event for meme fodder for a long time.

  • Fallout 76 hits 17 million players 5 years after release – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 hits 17 million players 5 years after release BethesdaBethesda recently thanked the fan base of Fallout 76 for helping them reach an important milestone:, the game hitting 17 million players after being out for five years. Fallout 76 had a rocky launch, with bugs and in-game issues permeating the experience. However, fast forward five years and the devs have managed to expand the game into a successful multiplayer experience thanks to player feedback. The blog post which outlined what players can expect from the Fallout 76 2024 schedule, also celebrated the game’s community. Fallout 76 has come a long way since the game’s original release, which was plagued by bugs and disappointed many players. “Over 17 million players have experienced new Fallout tales and characters with Wastelanders,” wrote Jon Rush wrote. But Bethesda never gave up on the game, continuing development and providing updates to improve the player experience. This includes the addition of crucial elements, like voice acting for NPCs, as well as incorporating new content, like quest chains and events. Now days, Fallout 76 has a thriving player base, and they’ve got plenty to look forward to in the year ahead. According to the timeline shared on the blog, fans can expect to see the Atlantic City – America’s Playground DLC drop in early 2024. This will bring with it new areas to explore, new quests, and the Fallout 76 take on a classic New Jersey urban legend — the Jersey Devil. Later in the year, the borders of Appalachia’s map will broaden with a new area; Shenandoah, described as a “wooded heartland”. If that isn’t enough content to keep the fan base happy, Spring 2024 is when the Fallout TV series will reach our screens, putting a new narrative spin on the game’s setting and story. It seems like Fallout 76 has more than redeemed itself with its fans since the early days of its launch.

  • Fallout 76: How to get Secret Service armor – Dexerto

    Fallout 76: How to get Secret Service armor BethesdaFallout 76‘s Secret Service armor is one of the game’s most popular armor sets to sport. It has a range of great defensive properties to assist you in combat and general exploration, and we’ll show you how to get your hands on it. Bethesda’s Fallout 76 didn’t get off to the hot start that the company may have hoped for, but years of updates and significant content drops have helped the game to realize its vision and resemble a lot of its early promise. The Test Your Metal update is one of the newest ones for Fallout 76 and introduced new elements to the game including a new battle arena. Whilst all the new content is still fresh and being enjoyed by Fallout 76 players, plenty of the game’s older content is still being found by newcomers. One such item is the Secret Service armor, so let’s find out how to get it. How to get Secret Service armor in Fallout 76 Unfortunately, due to how viable and desirable the Secret Service armor is, you’ll have to undergo a few different steps in order to successfully claim the gear. These concise steps should make the process a bit easier for you: Your first task is to complete either the ‘Secrets Revealed’ or the ‘All That Glitters’ quest – Doing so unlock’s Fallout 76’s Gold Bullion Currency System and allows you to buy the plans for the armor – Purchase the plans from ‘Reginald “Regs” Stone’ in ‘Vault 79’ – Now, procure ‘Legendary Modules’ from ‘Purveyor Murmrgh at the Rusty Pick’ to be able to add them to each piece of armor – Finally, go to a Workbench and craft the Secret Service armor and it’s yours! – We should note, that once you craft a single piece of the overall armor, it will be up to the game’s RnG to decide how many legendary attributes you get. So for maximum power, you’ll likely need to craft pieces several times to get the armor’s ultimate form. But if you can do so, then you’re one step closer to having the perfect Fallout 76 Secret Service armor set.

  • Fallout 76 Cryptid location guide: lore & tips – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 Cryptid location guide: lore & tips BethesdaFallout 76 is home to a variety of mutated mythical monsters called Cryptids, taken from West Virginian folklore. Here’s a guide to monster hunting in Fallout 76. While Fallout 76 got off to a shaky start upon release, subsequent updates have improved the game. The developers have also realized that by leaning into the game’s lore and setting, they can take advantage of local folklore to tell some truly terrifying post-apocalyptic horror stories. There are more than just radroaches and ghouls stalking the West Virginian Wasteland. Here’s what else players may encounter. Contents The Beast of Beckley – Flatwoods Monster – The Grafton Monster – Mothman – Sheepsquatch – Snallygaster – Wendigo – The Beast of Beckley This monster is based on an actual myth told over campfires in the West Virginian woods. The legend goes that the Beast resembles a giant white wolf with four eyes capable of “shredding bears” with her teeth and claws. In Fallout, the Beast survived nuclear war but has mutated and become even more fearsome, as have her now grown-up pups. The Beast appears in the quest Unsolved: Death and Taxidermy, where the player follows clues to an unsolved killing, eventually coming face-to-face with the Beast. Her den can be located in Appalachia near Janelle’s camp and the Hornwright air purifier site 04. However, following the quest is the best way to find the creature, as this triggers her appearance. Be warned, the Beast and her pups are instantly hostile. Flatwoods Monster This thing is just otherworldly and creepy as hell. The Flatwoods Monster is a strange mash-up of technology and biological matter. It glows purple and floats above the ground like it’s wearing some kind of jetpack. It also wears a dome over its large brain of a head with big purple eyes and what could be a gas mask on underneath. You can first hear about the monster by speaking to the Wandering Storyteller who had a frightening encounter with it. The lore behind the Monster is that it is extra-terrestrial in origin, although it could also be a pre-war experiment gone wrong. It could then have been exposed to radioactive material and mutated until it became even less human in appearance and nature. The Flatwoods Monster has no fixed spawn points, but it can appear during the Daily Quests, Queen of the Hunt and Making Sacrifices. The creature will become hostile if the player gets too close. It will also teleport around the map and regenerate health. Be careful because the Flatwoods monster can mind control NPCs, enemies, and even other legendary cryptids that happen to be nearby. They’ll glow purple and turn hostile. If you flee from battle, the monster will simply disappear in a flash of light. Although even if you defeat him, he may spawn again later. The Grafton Monster This hulking Beast is another cryptid out of West Virginian folklore. The creature is said to be spotted by motorists at night or by hunters in the vast West Virginian woods. In Fallout 76, he’s an experiment gone wrong who escaped confinement. His mutation has spiraled out of control in the wasteland, making him even more monstrous than before. He’s not associated with any particular quests but can be encountered in various locations throughout Fallout 76. During the Grafton Day event, he can often be found nearby Grafton itself. He can also appear as a boss during the Project Paradise event. Other spawning locations are the Charleston Trainyard, The Charleston Capitol Building, Hemlock Holes, and the garden between the Whispering Resort and the nearby golf club. When you do eventually come face-to-face with him, don’t underestimate his speed. This guy may be big, but he’s also fast. Mothman Mothman may be the most famous cryptid in West Virginian mythology. He’s also been the subject of Hollywood films. However, Mothman isn’t a savage beast like most entries on this list. In fact, Mothman is often depicted as intelligent, sentient, and well-meaning. He often comes with grave warnings about some upcoming apocalyptic event, which is where his story begins in Fallout 76. The original Mothman from legends is referred to as the Wise Mothman in Fallout. We’ve even produced a separate guide, covering his quest in more detail. But smaller Mothmen also appear in the game and can be hostile towards the player. These spawn sporadically and if they have red eyes, will likely attack the player if they get too close. Read More: Fallout 76 Nuke Codes – Sheepsquatch While this sounds like it could be a character from Rick and Morty, it’s actually a mythical monster of West Virginian folklore. The creature is described as a bipedal yeti-like creature with a ram’s skull for a head, complete with large horns and cloven hoofs. This is exactly what it looks like in Fallout 76. In the game’s lore, the creature is the same mythical monster as above, pre-dating the war and continuing to exist in the West Virginian wasteland as if the bombs never dropped. He can be hunted down in-game – but be careful that he doesn’t end up hunting you instead. Sheepsquatch can only be encountered randomly in the Forest during the Project Paradise and Free Range events. They fight a lot like Deathclaws, so don’t take them lightly. Enter combat with them tooled up and ready for battle. Snallygaster The Snallygaster looks like something out of Resident Evil rather than a Fallout game. In folklore, the creature is a hybrid between a bird and a reptile. Fallout 76 sticks with this idea, but also makes them skinless to add another layer of gross. While most cryptids in Fallout existed before the bombs dropped, the Snallygaster is a product of genetic experiments, not unlike the Super Mutants. Naturally, it escaped and is on the rampage in the wasteland. It also spawned lots of little Snallygaster babies, so that’s nice. The monster can be found hanging around Toxic Larry’s Meat ‘n Go, while some of its spawn can be found in Charleston, between Hornwright Industrial HQ and the Capitol Building. Basically, they are usually found near highly toxic or irradiated areas, adding another layer of danger to the encounters. They are immune to rad and poison damage and can even deal this damage to the player. Therefore, keeping one’s distance is advised. It’s often wise to aggro them and encourage them to fight on your terms, where they no longer have the terrain advantage. Wendigo These are absolutely terrifying and slightly remind us of the Witch from Left 4 Dead. Wendigos have become quite prominent in popular culture in recent years. In fiction and folklore, Wendigos used to be human but turned into twisted monsters due to their greed or other sins. They are thought to be associated with the vampire myths from Eastern Europe somehow, but the Wendigo is a very North American monster in origin. In Fallout 76, their origin is left ambiguous. They could be the monster of legend or simply another mutant inhabitant of the wasteland. They’re likely a highly mutated ghoul, as their shrieks can attract feral ghouls to support them in combat. They also fight in a similar way to ghouls, although Wendigos are much larger and more powerful Unlike most creatures on this list, Wendigos are regular enemies based on a cryptid rather than an elusive boss or quest character. They can usually be found stalking around the Wendigo Cave in the Savage Divide of Appalachia. This location offers another clue to their origin. However, they can also be found in similar areas across the map.

  • Fallout 76 Atlantic City: Capturing the essence of the city with a twist – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 Atlantic City: Capturing the essence of the city with a twist BethesdaFallout 76’s new update, Atlantic City, reimagines the iconic location with a distinct Fallout tone. Continue reading for our full interview with two of the game’s lead developers Jonathan Rush and Joshua Morettoas, as they break down how they were able to bring Atlantic City to the world of Fallout 76. The Fallout Franchise is one of Bethesda’s most popular and beloved IPs. Other than Elder Scrolls and now Starfield, Fallout remains a staple for the company which has dedicated its time and efforts to creating a major single-player experience. However, Bethesda has capitalized on the rise of the multiplayer genre, creating experiences for both. First with Elder Scrolls Online and now with Fallout 76. For the latter, the path to success has been a long one, filled with changes, updates, and bug fixes. In an exclusive interview, Dexerto was able to sit down with Art Director Jonathan Rush and Senior Quest Designer Joshua Moretto to chat about Fallout 76’s upcoming update, Atlantic City, which is set to release on December 5, 2023. Fallout 76 changes things up with Atlantic City location Throughout the interview, we were given exclusive access to the new update to play through while also watching and listening to the devs explain each and every detail of the upcoming content. From the get-go, it was clear that the Fallout 76 team had created a new location that feels both at home in the larger Fallout universe but also unique and fresh. For Josh Moretto, Atlantic City was a perfect location to expand the Fallout 76 world. “We wanted to create something that definitely had its own sort of visual look to it. We wanted to give players something that wasn’t just fighting more humans,” Moretto explained. “We tossed around a couple of ideas. So one of the considerations was something that felt unique to New Jersey, unique to Atlantic City.” “So we were drawing inspiration from the Pine Barrens specifically because the Barrens are home to a lot of bogs. And in these bogs, they’re actually a surprising number of native carnivorous plants.” Atlantic City DLC still holds true to the heart and soul of Fallout Playing through the new update, it is clear that the team has put in the work to include as much detail as possible when bringing Atlantic City to life. So much so that even those who have lived and known the location will recognize it, despite the distinct Fallout flavor that has been added to locations, of course. “You’re going to come in here and see things that look kind of familiar, right? And then folks that have never been to Atlantic City are going to find something that’s new and unique to the Fallout universe.” “We’re drawing a lot of inspiration off of, you know, real places. So, you know, you’re going to see what we’re coming up on now, which is the showman tier that is based on a real-world location again, which is called Steel Pier. Our level designers actually looked at the old floor plans for the steel pier. And all this is by no means a one-to-one recreation, but we used that as inspiration for the layout.” Given the details that have been focused on for Atlantic City, it is no surprise that this new content has been in development for the past year. The Bethesda Fallout 76 team is going to extreme measures to ensure this new update is polished and ready for fans to dive right into at launch. “This is really what we’ve been working on this year, for the most part, at least, the teams directly on this feature. We started early brainstorming on this last year and then really just we got to work early this year and start putting this together. That includes work we’ve done for the next update coming earlier next year.” A Fallout location filled with water & life, not just destruction While there is no denying that Atlantic City does feel like a Fallout location, as mentioned above, it does boast some fresh areas. When playing through the new update, something that stood out the most was the Aquarium. It’s an area that, in some ways, feels like players are diving into the depths of Rapture and entering the world of Bioshock. “The aquarium of the Atlantic is really different from a lot of places we’ve done before. It is an underwater aquarium, so you can actually see out into the ocean in places.” With other citizens of the city traversing through their every day and as much a part of Atlantic City as the scenery and location. “In Atlantic City, when the game isn’t happening, you’ll actually see civilians and show them and go about their day-to-day lives shopping in the little markets, playing games in the pier, hanging out in the aquarium, all those kinds of things. We’re really excited about that. We’re really excited that we’ll be able to take players to these locations outside of the expeditions and let them explore them, and do quests.” “It’s something I think our players really wanted after we did the pit. And so we’re giving it to them and we’re going to continue to expand on that.” Devs put their own personal knowledge of Atlantic City to good use So how were the Fallout devs about to capture the essence of Atlantic City and keep it in line with what gamers expect from Fallout? Well, it helps to have a developer like Josh Moretto who is actually from the area. The Senior Quest Designer discusses how his own knowledge of the city helped shape the final product for Fallout 76. “I’m not from Atlantic City itself, although I have spent time there. So for me, it was more sort of capturing the different sides of Atlantic City. We got the pier, the aquarium, and that’s based on the very specific portion of Atlantic City, which is a big tourist destination.” “And the beaches and the boardwalk draw people every year, but in another portion of the city which we will see in the other mission for the December update is the casinos and the nightclubs because of course, Atlantic City is a big destination for gambling.” Fallout 76 Atlantic City is filled with real-life Easter Eggs The Fallout 76 team has even managed to sneak some real-life Atlantic City lore into the new location, with the potential sighting of the Jersey Devil hinted at, as well as a long-lost WWII-bombed jet that reportedly left two nuclear bombs hidden off the shore of the city. “New Jersey is home to the Jersey Devil. So while we might not see the Jersey Devil in this update, we might see some things very much taking after the Jersey Devil. We don’t see them on the boardwalk, but go a little deeper into the city, say the casino quarter and you might run into a few lurking along the edges.” Josh Moretto expanded more on how real history has permeated the Fallout 76 version of Atlantic City. “There’s other details from the real history of New Jersey, there’s a lot of lore scattered around the place. Notes and terminals, which will let players get deeper into the story of what’s going on in these spaces, and may even make reference to things like a very true story pretty wild sometime after World War 2, a military airplane bomber ditched two nuclear bombs in the ocean off the shore of Atlantic City.” “That’s a real thing that happened. I think they were disarmed, but I’m not sure and they’re still out there as far as I know, they’re somewhere on the floor of the ocean off the coast of Atlantic City. There’s just two nukes. Which felt like such a Fallout story.” With a mix of conventional Fallout themes and new fresh locations, the world that the Fallout 76 team has put together for the new Atlantic City DLC is one that should pique the interest of players. Fallout 76: Atlantic City is set to release on December 5, 2023. For all the latest Fallout news and updates, be sure to check out Dexerto’s full coverage here.

  • Fallout 76 completes gaming’s most unlikely comeback as TV show reveals hidden gem everyone ignored – Dexerto

    Fallout 76 completes gaming’s most unlikely comeback as TV show reveals hidden gem everyone ignored BethesdaFallout 76 was panned by critics and players when it initially came out. However, after years of updates and the TV show exposing people to the series, Fallout 76’s incredibly late and unlikely comeback arc has finally begun. Upon release, Fallout 76 was viewed by many as a low point in the series. Fallout 4 had its fair share of issues, sure, but 76’s lack of NPCs on launch, poor performance, dozens upon dozens of bugs, and lackluster story made this game a disappointment for fans of the series. However, the devs have stuck with it in the years since its release, and the loyal fans who fell in love with post-apocalyptic Appalachia have kept playing through the issues. Now, after 18 themed updates that all added a ton of things to do and places to go, Fallout 76 is much closer to the game we were promised years ago. With the game breaking its all-time player record on Steam and people hopping back in to play almost six years after launch, Fallout 76 has gone from the series’ laughing stock to one of its most feature-complete, content-rich entries. Fallout TV show brings series to a whole new audience It’s not like anything changed with Fallout 76 outside of its normal content cadence to attract some sort of big audience. First, we have to talk about what the TV series has done. In a lot of ways, it feels like people were rooting for the Fallout series to fail. Early trailers had people cautiously optimistic, but nailing the dark humor and zany feel of the art deco-inspired post-apocalypse is no small task. However, the Fallout TV series pulled it off. Between charming characters, strong set design, a good sense of humor, and a perfect understanding of when to discard that humor and get serious, it’s not hard to see why Fallout’s first venture into the realm of TV is so highly rated by longtime fans of the series and newcomers alike. However, while the series has a solid library of games to play, all of them are getting into their years at this point. Fallout 1 and 2 are good games but also very difficult for the modern gamer to get into. There’s a good shot many of the people who have enjoyed this show weren’t even alive when they originally came out, and it’s built on design principles that have long since evolved within the medium. Fallout 3 and New Vegas are well-respected and playable on current-gen hardware for those on console, but they were also released in 2008 and 2010, respectively. Playing them nowadays makes it hard to ignore their glaring flaws and dated mechanics. Fallout 4 aside, there isn’t much to enjoy within the universe unless you want to reach into games that came out over a decade ago. Outside of Fallout 76, that is. Considering the number of deep, deep sales this game has had over the course of its life cycle, finding a cheap PC key is easy work. With the low price of entry and a wealth of content, people have decided to give 76 another chance even if they didn’t already own it. Now, just days after the TV show’s release, Fallout 76 is breaking player count records. At the time of writing, the game has achieved a new peak of over 72k players, a massive increase over the max of around 12k players the month before. Fallout 76’s loyal players proved us wrong When Fallout 76 came out, it didn’t have much in the way of a main story, no NPCs, constantly crashed, and suffered from a lack of content outside of aimlessly exploring the wasteland and finding stories scattered between data terminals. Now, a ton of new enemies, quests, storylines, locations, game mechanics, mission types, weapons, power armors, base-building mechanics, and expeditions have been added. Fallout 76 has significantly more content than it did when it launched, and there’s now an actual reason to stick with the game. The Steam charts don’t lie here; Fallout 76 has broken its previous player count record, and people are sticking around. This isn’t a one-off deal; people are getting into Fallout 76 for the first time and sticking around for the ride. Does the game still look incredibly dated? Yeah… The graphics weren’t great when it came out, and they’ve aged poorly. The gunplay could be better, too. VATS is a bit strange considering the game’s online nature and the fact you can’t pause combat. You can nitpick a lot with Fallout 76, and it’s a deeply flawed game in many ways. However, much of what plagued the game at launch has since been fixed. Many of those who trash-talked the game (myself included) based their opinion of the game on a version of Fallout 76 that, to be frank, doesn’t exist anymore. Staunch defenders of the game like New Blood CEO Dave Oshry have been shilling for this game for years, and, as much as I hate to admit it, they may have been right all along. While the criticism that Fallout 76 should have been a good, feature-complete game at launch is a valid one, holding that against the game it is today is a great way to deprive yourself of a damn good time. Fallout 76 being described as a hidden gem is a bit strange considering how popular the series is, but it’s also accurate. The game’s unlikely rise is surprising not because we didn’t know about it, but because its launch was so tragically bad that everyone who experienced it purposely pushed the game under the rug. According to the game’s developers in an exclusive interview with Dexerto, those who still believed Fallout 76 could be great are a large part of why it’s still alive today. The hype behind the TV show is the shot in the arm this game needed to get more eyes on what the devs have been working on for the better part of a decade. Now, people get to experience the game Fallout 76 was meant to be. When everything’s working right, and you experience a deeply atmospheric journey through abandoned towns and mutant-infested caves, or when you complete an expedition and receive some sweet legendary loot, it’s easy to see the hallmarks of what makes Fallout special in this game. It’s pretty unlikely we’ll see a new Fallout game before 2030 rolls around, considering how long it takes Bethesda to develop games. Your options are limited if you want a playable look into the universe. That said, don’t be deterred by the overwhelmingly negative reviews from Fallout 76’s launch; against all odds, the game is actually worth playing now. I just hope the lesson Bethesda takes from this isn’t that we need a Redfall TV show.

  • Exclusive: How the Fallout 76 community helped shaped the game and Atlantic City update – Dexerto

    Exclusive: How the Fallout 76 community helped shaped the game and Atlantic City update BethesdaFallout 76 has had a tumultuous journey over the past 5 years since it launched. However, game devs Joshua Moretto and Jonathan Rush credited their fans as being a driving force in the evolution in the game and the new Atlantic City DLC in an exclusive interview with Dexerto. Fallout 76 is Bethesda’s multiplayer take on their beloved IP. When it comes to dedicated fan bases, those who have been a part of the Fallout Universe from the New Vegas days have a deep attachment to the games. When Fallout 76 first launched back in October 2018, it was met with criticism from fans. The game was undercooked, filled with bugs, and missing much of the content that fans were expecting. However, the years have seen the game evolve, with new content and more paving the way for an experience that fans have now invested in. During an exclusive interview with Dexerto, two of Fallout 76’s developers, Jonathan Rush and Joshua Moretto, reflected on how important their community has been in helping shape the current look of Fallout 76 and the future to come with the new Atlantic City DLC, set to launch on December 5, 2023. Fallout 76 community feedback was instrumental early on in the game Art Director Jonathan Rush, who has been working on Fallout 76 for several years now, was quick to point out how immediate player feedback had a massive impact on the game early on. Shifting the focus from just multiplayer mayhem to still having a streamlined Fallout feel. “After the game had been out for a bit, we were sort of taking note of player actions and what they were most interested in,” Rush explained. “We came to realize, it’s the story’s content. It’s the human aspect of all this that the players are missing.” “So with the Wastelanders update, we brought human NPCS back into the game which gave us a chance to really make a large owner shift, right? It gave us a lot of different colored crayons to sort of create different stories with,” he said. Rush then followed on, exclaiming that he believes that Fallout 76 has “the best community of any online game that I’ve ever seen” praising their fans and stating that their feedback is “invaluable to us as developers.” Adding that the many lines of communication across social media platforms play a big role and that they do listen and take on suggestions made to them online. “Players have many avenues of communication,” Rush reiterated. “The fans have us right over Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and Reddit and we’re able to get feedback from all directions about anything we do. Anything we propose, any suggestions.” “That’s so invaluable and it really lets us feel and be in touch with our players. Whereas, live service games I’ve worked on in the past many, many years ago, we didn’t really have that luxury.” Fan feedback was key in evolving the way Expeditions operate in Fallout 76 And while Bethesda and the Fallout 76 team were open to community response early on, they still remain committed to ensuring that their fans are enjoying their experiences. And, where they can, they’re evolving the game to keep up with their community. “We’re listening to the feedback and really using that to drive some of our designs and our decisions are actually with expeditions we looked at and we put in The Pit”, began Moretto. “We got a lot of great feedback from our players who are engaging with the Pit expeditions and we noticed a couple of things that we wanted to address right away based on that feedback.” One aspect to the game that had Fallout 76 fans begging for change online was the way in which expeditions operated. However, Josh, John, and the rest of the game devs were quick to take action on this issue “We removed the sort of cost of doing an expedition. Previously when they were released you had to get Ultra sight battery cells to power up the vertebrate before you could launch the next position. We took that out. We want to remove the barriers to entry and make it a smoother experience and let players do it more often.” How the Fallout 76 community helped shape the Atlantic City DLC The Senior Quest Designer delves deep into the changes they have already made to the game from community feedback as well as what alterations players can expect when diving into Atlantic City for the first time this December. “With this update, one of the other things we noticed was that expeditions, while they were a daily activity for players, took longer than other daily activities by a fair margin,” he said. “When released, the Pit expeditions took around 20 to 30 minutes for most players. A good bit longer than other daily content like daily OPS or daily quests or even like public events. So we wanted to try to bring the expedition experience more in line with those other repeatable content types.” “And so we’ve streamlined the Atlantic City missions. Oo changes have been made to the Pit missions but for the Atlantic City missions, we’ve streamlined them and made them faster overall. Our target time that we were hitting is more in the 10 to 15-minute range. Which is much more comparable to doing a daily OPS.” Moretto wrapping up by summarising, “Players are going to be able to come in, do an expedition in Atlantic City, and move on. Get all the rewards without having to say, oh well, I’m not really doing anything for the next half hour. It’s just to remove that commitment and make it just far more accessible.” Fallout 76: Atlantic City is set to drop on December 5, 2023.

Fend off an onslaught of Gulpers, harvest their venom, and then raise a glass of Mire Magic Moonshine. – Goodbye, Super Mutants: Gear up to hand-deliver an “Eviction Notice” to a horde of Super Mutants, who recently overtook a Settler outpost near Foundation. Prepare for a tough fight, and don’t forget to defend the Rad Scrubber. – Conquer Dread Island: Earn S.C.O.R.E. to rank-up and claim a host of rewards on the all-new Fallout 76 Season 9 Scoreboard, “Heart of Steel: A Dread Island Tale.” – Fallout 1st Enhancements: Members can claim S.C.O.R.E. Boosts and complete bonus Challenges to earn even more S.C.O.R.E. this Season, as well as unlock additional rank-up rewards from the Scoreboard. – Easily Spot Fallen Foes: The new “Corpse Highlights” setting makes it easier than ever to quickly find enemies you’ve taken down and claim your hard-earned loot. – UPDATE VERSION 1.6.4.60 Check the download sizes below for today’s patch on your platform of choice: PC (Steam): 17.3 GB – PC (Microsoft Store): 26.3 GB – PlayStation: 25.8 GB – Xbox: 24.6 GB – DIVE INTO THREE NEW PUBLIC EVENTS Today’s update introduces three new Public Events to Fallout 76: “Test Your Metal,” “Moonshine Jamboree,” and “Eviction Notice.” Catch a brief rundown on each event below, and then head in-game to check them out! Please Note: We’ve temporarily adjusted Public Event selection until June 28, so that you will have more opportunities to try out our three newest Public Events over the next two weeks. Every hour, at the top of the hour, one of “Test Your Metal,” “Moonshine Jamboree,” or “Eviction Notice,” will be selected to begin. – At 20 and 40 minutes after the hour, one event will be selected at random from the full Public Event pool, which includes our newest three. – After June 28, Public Events will resume being selected completely at random every 20 minutes. – “TEST YOUR METAL” IN THE ARENA The Brotherhood of Steel have uncovered that a group of Blood Eagles, calling themselves the Rust Eagles, have been stockpiling spare robot parts to construct an army of combat bots. Concerned about the threat this may pose to Appalachia, Scribe Valdez recently sent a field team to investigate. Now, you can join forces with the “Gladiators of Steel” in a fierce contest to survive against the robots inside the Rust Eagle Arena. The “Test Your Metal” Public Event will appear on your map at the Metal Dome, north of Fort Atlas in the Savage Divide. Travel there and speak with Initiate Pappas to start the event. – Once Test Your Metal begins, you will join three members of the Brotherhood field team to compete as gladiators against the Rust Eagles’ deadly machines. You and the Gladiators of Steel will square off against the bots in three rounds of frenzied combat. Defeat the opposition in one round, and you’ll advance to the next. – Once you’ve conquered all three rounds, you will earn some loot, XP, and have a chance to pick up rare rewards, including plans to craft the new Botsmith Armor set. – Keep a lookout for the Golden Eyebot to make an appearance! Do your best to take it down to claim an added bounty of Caps. – – Make sure to defend your teammates, and have Stimpaks at the ready if they fall. The more Gladiators of Steel who survive their time in the ring, the higher your chances to earn rare rewards. – DELIVER AN EVICTION NOTICE The Settlers at Foundation have been working to expand their territory by setting up a new encampment within a nearby blast crater. They even managed to engineer a solution to the crater’s immense radiation levels by inventing a machine known as a “Rad Scrubber.” However, a radio broadcast from one of the Settlers at the construction site indicated that they’ve been forced out by a band of Super Mutants. Visit the crater to assess the situation, and ensure the area is safe so that work can get back underway. “Eviction Notice” is a challenging new Public Event tuned for higher-level characters. It will appear on your map in the Savage Divide at a crater that can be found east of Foundation, and south of Huntersville. – Find and activate the Rad Scrubber within the crater, and then prepare for a fight! Make sure to defend the Rad Scrubber from an onslaught of Super Mutants. – If the Rad Scrubber takes too much damage, it will deactivate. Repair it as quickly as possible, or else rad levels in the area will become much more hazardous. – TIP: Destroy the Super Mutants’ meat bags to discourage them from sticking around. You and your event mates may want to try splitting up so that some players can venture out to attack the meat bags, while others focus on defense. – – If you’re successful in driving the Super Mutants from the crater, you will earn Settler faction reputation, some loot, and a chance to receive one of six unique 3-star legendary weapons. – JOIN THE MOONSHINE JAMBOREE You’re invited to join in the Moonshine Jamboree at the Sunday Brothers Cabin! It’s tragic what befell the Sunday boys, but their devotion to mixing up the finest moonshine in all of Appalachia lives on with Moonshiner Ned, their trusty Handy bot. There’s just one problem: Mire Magic Moonshine’s key ingredient is Gulper venom, which Ned can’t acquire alone. That’s where the Jamboree truly shines. Help Ned pick up where the Sunday Brothers left off, by hosting a party that will attract as many of the beasts as possible to the Cabin. Meet up with Moonshiner Ned behind the bar inside Sunday Brothers Cabin in The Mire to kick off the festivities. – Light the Jamboree Bonfire, and then keep your guard up. Vicious Gulpers and other curious creatures will soon flood the area to investigate the raucous Jamboree. Take down Gulpers and collect as much Acidic Gulper Venom as you can. Pour it, as directed by Moonshiner Ned, into a nearby bathtub so that it can be used to serve up a fresh batch of moonshine. – Make sure to defend the three Stills located around the Cabin grounds. If they get destroyed the party will be ruined! – – If you manage to deposit 30 Acidic Gulper Venom in time, and the Stills remain intact, then the Jamboree will be a roaring success. The most masterful moonshiners among you can optionally collect up to 60 Acidic Gulper Venom before the event concludes for increased rewards. – – Speaking of rewards, by completing Moonshine Jamboree, you will earn Raider faction reputation, some loot, the all-new “Gulper Smacker” melee weapon, and a few bottles of Gulpershine, which you can drink to increase the Gulper Smacker’s damage vs. Gulpers. – FALLOUT 76 SEASON 9: NEW SCOREBOARD, REWARDS & MORE! Here’s what’s headed your way during Fallout 76 Season 9, which begins today: NEW SCOREBOARD Following a turbulent storm and an ill-fated flight around the world, Anna and Emilio Franklin now find themselves stranded on the wonderous and deadly Dread Island, with only their assaultron bodyguard, H-4RT, to help them survive. Keep up with their adventures by earning S.C.O.R.E. to rank up and claim a new suite of rewards on the all-new Season 9 Scoreboard. As you progress during your Season journey, you will unlock new paints for your weapons, armor, and Power Armor, amenities for your C.A.M.P., outfits, cosmetics, consumables, and more! – FALLOUT 1ST ENHANCEMENTS With Season 9, we’re introducing enhancements to the Scoreboard that will help Fallout 1st Members rank-up more quickly and claim even more rank-up rewards along the way. Unlock S.C.O.R.E. Boosts: Fallout 1st Members can claim three new S.C.O.R.E. Boost rewards at ranks 15, 50, and 75, which increase the S.C.O.R.E. they earn from Challenges for the rest of Season 9 by +5%, +10%, and +10%, respectively. Please note: Boosts count toward a Challenge’s base S.C.O.R.E. reward. They do not multiply with other bonus effects, such as Double S.C.O.R.E. Weekends. – For example, if you’ve unlocked all three S.C.O.R.E. Boosts, and you then complete a Challenge for 100 S.C.O.R.E., you will earn a total of 125. If you complete that same Challenge during a Double S.C.O.R.E. Weekend, you will earn its base value of 100 S.C.O.R.E., plus 100 more due to the event, and 25 from your boosts, for a total of 225 S.C.O.R.E. – – Complete Bonus Challenges: Members can also earn even more S.C.O.R.E. by completing Fallout 1st Bonus Challenges, which will appear as Daily or Weekly Challenges alongside the existing lineup in the Challenges menu. – Claim Even More Rewards: This Season’s Scoreboard features many additional rank-up rewards for Fallout 1st Members. Hover over rank-up icons that have a gold ring on the Scoreboard to display both the standard and Fallout 1st rewards for that rank, side-by-side. – FRESH RADIO PLAYS Tune your Pip-Boy’s radio dial to the Pirate Radio Station to catch six new Radio Plays that follow along with Anna, Emilio, and H-4RT as they explore Dread Island and try to survive its many perils. You can also catch additional details about Fallout 76 Season 9 by heading to the Seasons page on Fallout.com, or by reading our recent article. SPOT FALLEN FOES MORE EASILY WITH CORPSE HIGHLIGHTING You’ve just dropped a Legendary Feral Ghoul—but wait, where is its body? Was it over there? No, perhaps it’s over here… We’ve all been there before, hunting through tall grass trying to find an enemy’s final resting place, so that we can grab our loot and head back to C.A.M.P. This update introduces Corpse Highlighting, which will help you more easily spot nearby creature corpses and claim your hard-earned loot. Corpse Highlights will be enabled by default on the Display tab in the game’s Settings menu. You can also toggle the setting to decide when you’d like Corpse Highlights to disappear from a fallen enemy: After hovering your crosshairs over the corpse to view their quick inventory, or after inspecting the corpse by viewing their full inventory menu. – – ADDITIONAL CHANGES & IMPROVEMENTS CRITICAL HIT BONUS ADJUSTMENTS Critical Hit damage bonuses are now all additive, and we’ve increased the bonuses from a wide variety of sources to help compensate for this change: Better Criticals Perk Card: Bonuses per Perk Card rank increased from +20/30/40% to +50/75/100%, respectively. – Standard Receiver Mods: Bonus increased from +68% to +100% – Auto Receiver Mods: Bonus increased from +36% to +50% – Overdrive: Bonus increased from +15% to +30% – Eagle Eyes Mutation: Bonus increased from +25% to +60% – Eagle Eyes (when buffed by the “Stranger In Numbers” Perk Card): Bonus increased from +32% to +75% – Tesla Science Magazine #8: Bonus increased from +15% to +50% – Firecracker Berry Juice: Bonus increased from +10% to +25% – Sweet Mutfruit Tea, Megasloth Mushroom Soup, Blight Soup, Steeped Thistle Tea: Bonus increased from +20% to +50% – All Magazines affecting per weapon type critical: Bonuses increased from +30% to +100% – – BUG FIXES ART Armor: Leather Left Arms with an equipped Brawling mod no longer appear to clip through the left shoulder of male characters. – Emotes: The “Halt!” Emote now plays animations correctly while wearing Power Armor. – Emotes: Using an Emote while standing in a fire or similar hazard no longer causes the player to become stuck in an Emote animation. – Enemies: Crippled Super Mutants no longer launch into the air on death. – Outfits: The Firewall Outfit’s Helmet now correctly displays a glass face shield while equipped. – Power Armor: The headlamp for Equalizer and Matte Black Equalizer Power Armor Paint now shines in the correct direction when applied to Hellcat Power Armor. – Power Armor: Applying the Yellow Power Armor Paint to a set of Power Armor now applies proper interior textures, as well. – Terminals: Corrected an animation issue when entering a Terminal that could cause the player’s view to become misaligned from the Terminal screen. – Weapons: Fixed an issue that could cause NPCs to hold Pipe Pistols at odd angles. – Weapons: Characters’ hands no longer clip into the Alien Disintegrator. – Weapons: The Alien Disintegrator’s impact visual effects now correctly change color based on which Receiver mod the player is using. – C.A.M.P.S & WORKSHOPS Ally Furniture: Sam Nguyen’s Workbench can now be moved after being built. – **Beds: Players can now correctly interact with the Alien Stasis Chamber Bed. – C.A.M.P.

  • 20 best Fallout 76 camp locations with resources, ranked – Dexerto

    20 best Fallout 76 camp locations with resources, ranked BethesdaFallout 76 has a wealth of really good spots to choose from when setting up a base in the wasteland. Here, we’re going to look at the best camp locations with resources in Fo76 so you can pick somewhere perfect to lay some foundations. Whatever your need, whether a safe haven from radioactive creatures or a stronghold from which you can scavenge resources in Fallout 76, the ideal site can make a world of difference. While you have probably been relaxing inside your vault, we’ve been out there, putting ourselves in danger, scouring the wasteland, and we have found some perfect places for your next base camp. 1. The Wayward – Our recommended camp location The Wayward is one of the first settlements Fallout 76 players will visit in the game as it’s located just southeast of Vault 76. The town is full of buildings and NPCs roaming the area. You can set up camp here if you’d like to run a business such as Vending Machines to earn bottle caps. Furthermore, you’ll also be closer to the river so will have access to water in the area. Just make sure to set up camp defenses and lock your machines so your camp is not invaded by other players or griefers. 2. Ohio River (next to Relay Tower EM-B1-27) This location is right next to Relay Tower EM-B1-27 on the map and overlooks the Ohio River. You’ll be able to find NPCs here and is a safe forest region that is away from dangerous creatures and functions like a hidden spot away from other players. The best part about this location is that it’s right next to a river so you shouldn’t have trouble finding water to utilize for your survival. The flat terrain in the region allows you to build structures with ease and is much closer to Vault 76. So if you’re a Fallout 76 beginner, this can be the ideal location for you to set up your first camp. However, the lack of fast travel points and resources might be challenging. 3. Acid Cabin (near Smith Farm) The abandoned cabin near an Acid deposit next to the Smith Farm is one of the most underrated locations to set up camp. The spot consists of Phosphate and Acid deposits for you to extract by placing an Extractor over each and is situated right next to a lake. You can place a Water Purifier alongside the extractors on the lake to replenish your resources or sell to a merchant. Furthermore, the location is right near the Grafton Train Station from where you can easily fast-travel or sell purified water to an NPC there. However, this location also attracts wild creatures, Ghouls, and other players since it’s widely exposed in the forest. So make sure to build camp defenses and lock your machines. 4. Whitespring Golf Club This is the most visited location in Fallout 76 since it’s a lush golf course with a pond inside and gives players access to water. Located right next to the Whitespring Resort, the golf course is an ideal camp spot for any player since there are lots of flat lands, the friendly robots can help ward off enemies, and is a scenic beauty to spend time in. However, since it’s popular among players, there’s always a threat of your camp being overtaken by other players and is often nuked by griefers. Furthermore, there are not a lot of resources you can find here to extract or farm. 5. Morgantown Trainyard If you’re a trader in Fallout 76, then this might be the best camp spot for you. Morgantown Trainyard has large pre-built structures and features a ton of resources nearby. You can get your hands on Power Armor, and some of the finest weapons and ammunition in the game from the Trainyard. However since it’s a pretty resourceful location in the game, it’s often crowded by other players and your camp would always be prone to griefers, unless, of course, you have some camp defenses set up against them. 6. Gilman Lumber Mill Gilman Lumber Mill is one of the most peaceful locations where you can set up camp in Fallout 76. It requires very little effort and resources from your end to build structures since it already has a few buildings. Plus since it’s a lumberyard you get free access to wood. Moreover, there are several weapon and ammo workbenches nearby that can help you as you head out to the wastelands. But the only drawback here is that apart from wood and water, no other resources like Iron, Copper or Acid can be found anywhere close to this location. 7. Abandoned Bunker (near Haven Church) One of the most useful things about the post-apocalyptic world of Fallout 76 is that you can easily find pre-built structures around the map. Among those, this Abandoned Bunker near Haven Church along the Mire is one of the best to set up camp. You can head inside the bunker and decorate it with your own structures, props, builds, resources, and more. Since this location is right next to a river, you’ll easily find water and can also grow crops in a nearby garden. However, one of the major disadvantages this brings is that other players might take over your bunker once they see it equipped with your gear. Although you can set up some camp defenses to protect your campsite against scavengers. 8. The Rusty Pick The Rusty Pick is one of the most visited places by Fallout 76 players who want to spend their scrips or get scrips. Purveyor Murmrgh is inside the place and sells Legendary items in exchange for scrips. Since a bunch of players visit the place, you can set up a Vending Machine containing Stimpaks or even other resources to earn bottle caps. However, make sure to lock your machine and protect your camp device against griefers. 9. Cranberry Bog (next to Camp Venture) The Cranberry Bog is one of the most popular locations for Fallout 76 players, primarily due to a stone arch structure pre-built at the spot which offers a creative opportunity for players to turn it into an entryway or a backdrop to their camps. This location is right next to Camp Venture and oversees the Cranberry Bog biome where you can occasionally spot nukes falling from the sky. The spot is perfect for building structures and is accessible to a train station, river, and more areas for you to scavenge resources from. However, it is also one of the most dangerous locations since it’s right in front of a forest where Ghouls mostly spawn. So make sure you’re well-armed and have plenty of camp defenses before you plan to set up base here. 10. Cat Cafe (near Welch Station) The Cat Cafe is situated right north of Welch Station. If you’re someone who likes pets in games, you’ll be able to find a cat roaming the area. Set up camp inside the cafe and wall off the area with structures and you now own a Cat Cafe. The major advantage this location has is that it’s close to the Train Station so you can travel easily around the map and you can pet the cat. However, there’s not much for you to do here except setting up vending machines to run a business since you can’t scavenge any resources or have access to water. 11. Crashed Plane (near Vault 76) When you’re starting out with Fallout 76, this is by far the closest location you’ll find to set up your camp. Head to the marked spot next to North Kanawha Lookout and you’ll find a blue and yellow crashed plane there. Proceed down the cliff until you come across a flat land and deposits of copper and iron on the ground. This location is perfect for you to set up your camp and a couple of extractors and a generator to farm copper and iron bars for you over time. Furthermore, you can lock your extractors so they can’t be destroyed or looted by other players. However, since there’s no Fast Travel point nearby and your camp might likely be raided by enemies this location is a bit unsafe unless you arm it with camp defenses. 12. Toxic Valley (next to The Crosshair) Toxic Valley can be found near The Crosshair right between the mountains. You need to climb up the hill until you reach a flat land spot where you can spot the Valley. Once you’re there, the flat land allows you to build anywhere, even along the foothills, or hang it off the cliff to get some more room. Plus the view from your camp will be breathtaking as you’re able to see half of Appalachia and the height advantage prevents your camp from being taken over by other players or being infested by dangerous creatures. However, since this location is away from a water body or fast travel points, it might not be ideal for you if you’re always on the run. Nevertheless, it does give you a pretty sweet view in times when you need to relax. 13. Alice in Wonderland (near Tyler County Fairgrounds) This location is right next to Tyler County Fairgrounds and Anchor Farm and is probably the best one to set up camp if you want to extract crystals in Fallout 76. You can also find a Scavenger NPC there that is overlooking something using their binoculars. Set up a Crystal Extractor at your camp and mine crystals for a generous payday. Furthermore, you’ll find an easter egg to Alice in Wonderland’s Tea Party scene from where you can gather more resources. Since this location is close to Vault 76, it’s recommended if you’re just starting out. However, the lack of a nearby water body and fast-travel points make it challenging. 14. Large Cabin (near Bolton Greens) Situated right next to the Bolton Greens golf course the Large Cabin is a perfect pre-built structure to claim and make your camp in. Moreover, there’s a ton of room around the cabin for you to build your own structures and customize the place according to your choice. Since the spot is located right next to the Monongagh Power Plant and a Coal Deposit, you should have no problem scavenging and finding resources. However, the absence of a water body nearby might be a bit of a disadvantage since you’ll need to put in some time to look for one. 15. The Hangman’s Tree The Hangman’s Tree is one of the creepiest and most controversial spots in Fallout 76. As players started spotting the tree with a noose hanging from it, they flagged Bethesda to remove it due to triggering content. However, some horror fans enjoyed the creepy vibes in the post-war wasteland and started to set up camps here. Soon, players started making boards for suicide prevention and allowed others to set their camps at the spot as well. Since this location is plainly meant for the breathtaking view, you won’t be able to find many resources here, let alone a fast-travel point nearby. 16. North Cut Throat Camp (near Wendigo Cave) This spot is right next to the North Cut Throat Camp and just south of Wendigo Cave. You can get free wood each day, and food and you can build your camp near the shore to place some extra water purifiers to make the most of the location. Furthermore, you also get a camp ally NPC spawn near the location and a breathtaking view of the mire from high ground. However, since you’re out in the woods you may get attacked by creatures from time to time and the spot is also far away from the nearest fast-travel point. 17. Savage Divide (next to Sacrament) Savage Divide is the hill spot near Sacrament and Palace of the Winding Path and is a perfect secluded location to hide away in the woods from enemies. The Fallout 76 location oversees Prickett’s Fort, also known as the Munitions Factory, and enables you to replenish your ammo and weapons quite easily. However, the lack of water and Fast Travel points nearby can pose a challenge since you need both to survive and travel across the map efficiently. Nevertheless, there’s an abandoned structure in there that provides you with some resources to begin with so you can easily scavenge and build around it. 18. Junk Pile (near Black Mountain Ordnance Works) This camping spot is right next to the Black Mountain Ordnance Works. Simply head down the road from the River until you spot a Junk Pile. Once you do so, you can place a Generator and a Junk Extractor there to farm junk. The river bed allows you to place a Water Purifier so you can extract clean water for your own use as well as sell it to NPC vendors at locations like a Train Station. There’s also a Power Armor station nearby so you can get a taste of metal to roam the Wastelands carefree. 19. New Gad (next to Summersville Docks) New Gad is one of the most dangerous spots on the Fallout 76 map since it’s ridden with Super Mutants, something a few turrets placed neatly can take care of. It’s a dry lake however includes a large shack in the center, with an armor workbench and a steamer trunk inside, a locked safe, and a cooking station. You can easily build a camp and structures here, thanks to the flat land, and travel easily with nearby fast travel points. However, the only cons are the frequent mutant attacks and the bleak view might be quite depressing. 20. Thunder Mountain Camp Thunder Mountain Camp is the only spot on the Fallout 76 map where you can get the most amount of water by building a camp entirely on a lake. The location is right next to the Power Plant and to begin with, you simply need to place your camp on a boat. Once you do that, build some foundations to set up structures over water. Furthermore, you can also set up as many water purifiers as you want to build a monopoly and earn bottle caps faster. However since water is the only resource here, you’re merely a water merchant and can’t have access to other resources at the location.

  • All Fallout 76 Mutations and how to get them: Marsupial, Speed Demon & more – Dexerto

    All Fallout 76 Mutations and how to get them: Marsupial, Speed Demon & more Bethesda Softworks / DexertoFallout 76’s mutations feature offers players a whole variety of additional bonuses for your Vault Dweller, bestowing both positive and negative effects. While Fallout has given fans of the series incredible freedoms with how they craft their story, background, and build throughout the franchise, never have they before been given the opportunity to mutate their character’s DNA – until Fallout 76, that is. If you’re looking to add some extra power to help you survive better and explore more of the vibrant, lore-rich world crafted by Bethesda, here’s how to get mutations in Fallout 76, and what each one does out in Appalachia. Contents What are Fallout 76 mutations – How to get mutations in Fallout 76 – The best mutations in Fallout 76 – All Fallout 76 mutations and effects – What are Fallout 76 mutations? Mutations are effects that are randomly added to your character after being exposed to Radiation in the game. Each mutation gives your Vault Dweller an incredibly useful effect to utilize on your travels throughout Appalachia, from granting invisibility to increasing your carry weight and jump height. What’s more, it’s possible to acquire more than one at any given time. Read More: Fallout 76 Nuke Codes – Despite the positive effects you’ll receive upon acquiring one, this is balanced out by making sure that the mutation doesn’t make you totally overpowered. For example, the above-mentioned invisibility mutation, Chameleon, only works if you’re unarmored, stationary, and not attacking anything. How to get mutations in Fallout 76 Obtaining a mutation in Fallout 76 typically comes down to random chance and by being exposed to radiation (also known as Rads), but there are some methods you can take to increase your likelihood of altering your DNA enough to receive one. Every time that you receive HP of additional radiation, you’ll have a 5% chance of being granted one of the available mutations. To do this, make sure to interact with: Drinking unpurified water and eating irradiated foods – Standing or swimming in bodies of water – Being attacked by Feral Ghouls – Interacting with (or standing close to) petrified corpses – Visit locations with high amounts of toxic waste – Mutation serums While venturing out in the world to find as many radioactive sources as possible is completely viable, Mutation Serums can be used to apply certain mutations to your character. You can obtain the relevant serum recipe from the MODUS vendor at The Whitespring Bunker, the Enclave’s main base of operations. Read More: Cryptid location guide – These also have the positive effect of removing any of the mutation’s negative effects for one hour, and also apply to any mutation you’ve already got when using the relevant serum. Starched Gene perk Despite giving you fantastic boosts to your SPECIAL stats and more in Fallout 76, mutations will actually go away over time as your radiation decreases. That is, however, unless you use the Starched Gene perk. Unlocked at Level 30, while this is equipped, you’ll be unable to gain or lose mutations, ensuring you can keep your favorite bonuses as long as you want them for. The best mutations in Fallout 76 There are currently 20 mutations you can currently pick up in Fallout 76, and with so many available, it can be hard to work out which is best. We’ve picked our top 5 favorite mutations below: Adrenal Reaction: Those running Bloodied builds will benefit the most from this perk, as these builds utilize perks and gear to do more damage depending upon how low their health is. As such, the negative effect is less of a worry here, making it a perfect choice. – Bird Bones: At the cost of -4 Strength, taking this reduces your fall damage by slowing down how fast you fall. As an added bonus, you’ll get +4 to Agility and also be able to jump that extra bit farther. – Healing Factor: This mutation is crucial for most players in Fallout 76, especially with how quickly your health will regenerate outside of combat. While this card may not be useful for those who like to heavily utilize chems in play, utilizing it alongside the Class Freak perk to minimize this mutation’s negative effects is a win-win situation. – Speed Demon: Who doesn’t want to move faster throughout the world and reload just that bit quicker? While you’ll need to make sure you’re carrying more food and drink or know locations where you can get it fast, this mutation will have you running circles around Appalachia’s enemies in no time. – Marsupial: At the cost of -4 to Intelligence, you’ll be able to avoid maxing out your carry weight while collecting items throughout the world. The added jump bonus will give you more verticality to access in fights to resist incoming attacks a little better, as well as giving you more opportunities to explore a little more. Pairing this with Bird Bones is a great choice to reach those harder-to-access areas and ensure you’re the ultimate master of movement. – All Fallout 76 mutations and effects So, there you have it – everything you need to know about mutations in Fallout 76.

  • Best Fallout 76 builds to dominate the wasteland in 2024 – Dexerto

    Best Fallout 76 builds to dominate the wasteland in 2024 BethesdaFallout 76 lets players build their own nuclear wasteland survivor from the irradiated ground up. The below Fallout 76 builds allow players to make a character that dominates the wasteland. Fallout 76 encourages players to survive the wasteland by cobbling together a variety of rusty weapons and armor. However, carefully creating a Fallout 76 build with certain skills and stats in mind can be a much smarter way to navigate the perils of an irradiated Massachusetts – and Pittsburgh. The game uses a deep Perk system that lets player carefully cultivate their own build in Fallout 76, upgrading certain skills that complement a range of others. The most recent update of the popular MMO sees players return to The Pitt – a location where the right gear could be the difference between life and death. The effectiveness of builds changes in the game depending on a variety of factors, but as it stands, these are the best builds in Fallout 76 in 2024 and The Pitt update. If you’re planning on delving back into The Pitt in Fallout 76, then you’ll need to know the best builds in the game. So, let’s look at our recommended best build for 2024, followed by a few others you could try. Best Fallout 76 build: Gunslinger – recommended (2024) We would highly recommend this Gunslinger build and rate it as the best on our list. The current best Gunlinger build is an agility-based ‘ammosmith’ build that makes use of light armor, pistols, and ammo crafting. It has a lot of flexibility and you can use most gear, but keep your focus on light armaments and use the SPECIAL skills breakdown below: Best Guerilla build The Guerilla build is a nice blend of heavy armor and light weaponry. For the latest Guerilla build in Fallout 76, we’d recommend equipping some T-51 Power Armor and an Automatic Laser Pistol. Then set your SPECIAL skills to the following build: Best Rifleman build There are hundreds of effective Rifleman builds in Fo76, but our favorite is one that encourages you to cosplay as an Enclave trooper. For this, we’d recommend equipping the powerful X-01 Power Armor and equipping an Enclave Plasma Rifle. Then set your SPECIAL stats to the following: Best Shotgunner build As the name suggests, the Shotgunner build involves going all in on shotguns in Fallout 76. That means setting your SPECIAL skills to max out any Perks that buff shotguns, as well as some vital other stats. We’d also recommend equipping the T-65 Power Armor (or some light armor) with the Gauss Shotgun for best results. Best Heavy Gunner build Heavy Gunner builds in Fallout 76 are all about equipping the biggest guns and blowing mutants to bits from a distance. For this build, equip any Power Armor you like, your chosen heavy weapon, then set your SPECIAL stats to the following: Best Commando build A Commando in Fallout 76 is a versatile solo build that allows players to create snipers or turn their player into a one-person army. You can also add more weapon-based perks if you want to tailor your Commando more. For example, you can add more Rifleman perks and equip Sniper Rifles. Best Two-Handed build Two-handed Fallout 76 builds are currently beating one-handed builds when it comes to melee dominance. Don’t be afraid to create your own builds or to mix and match elements from the ones above. Remember, while these builds all work well, these can also serve as effective starting points for more creative Fo76 builds.

    xQc rages after player deliberately stops him winning Fall Guys round Devolver Digital / Twitch: xQcOw[jwplayer Y7PB7YwV]Popular Twitch star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel hilariously exploded in rage after being eliminated in Fall Guys during his August 7 stream. The former Overwatch pro’s match was ruined by a player who kept grabbing onto him. Fall Guys has taken the gaming industry by storm since its debut in August. The vibrant multiplayer title’s hilarious physics-based gameplay has made it a smash hit on streaming platforms. One of the game’s most frustrating elements is the ability for players to grab onto each other. And during his latest broadcast, Twitch star xQc lost it when the mechanic ruined his match. xQc has Fall Guys match ruined The streamer was in the middle of playing Fall Guys during his broadcast when a player began to grab onto him. Frustrated, the Twitch star told his chat, “Nice I’m getting held by players. Great.” Due the opponent wasting his time, xQc was eliminated after the time ran out. The star hilariously grabbed his camera and screamed “Why are you holding me!? Why are you holding me!?” Pressing his eyes an inch from the camera, he screamed about the player’s actions. “Why do it? Why do it!? Why ARE YOU HOLDING ME DUDE!?” he continued to yell before fixing his streaming setup. “F**king bulls**t gameplay mode. Unf**kingbelievable, dude. My god,” he exclaimed, before explaining why he was frustrated. “Why was he doing that? Guys, the guy with the baseball cap, why is he doing this? It’s a six-man game mode and he’s holding me!” While Fall Guys is incredibly fun, xQc’s rage is understandable as it can turn frustrating quickly. And anyone in love with the party title will vouch that the holding mechanic is one of the most annoying elements of the game. Despite only releasing on August 4, the multiplayer release by Devolver Digital has already become a smash hit. It’s so popular that it’s even passed Grand Theft Auto V online in active players on Steam.

  • xQc has perfect way of dealing with Fall Guys stream snipers – Dexerto

    xQc has perfect way of dealing with Fall Guys stream snipers Twitch: xQc/MediatonicTwitch streaming star Felix ‘xQc’ Lengyel has demonstrated his fiery personality once again as he showed a genius way of dealing with Fall Guys stream snipers. Fall Guys has exploded into popularity, with a host of the world’s biggest content creators and streamers flooding to the game. Developed by Mediatonic, the game is known for its pure simplicity in trying to beat other players over obstacle courses to the finish line. One of the many streamers who has picked up the massive multiplayer title is xQc, the Canadian ex-Overwatch pro.He is known for his explosive outbursts and hilarious interactions, but during an August 16 live stream, he showed off a genius way to deal with stream snipers. One of the few player mechanics in Fall Guys is the ability to grab and hold opponents, in the hope of halting their progress or lining them up for failure. This mechanic is exactly what xQc used to outwit a stream sniper, who had previously endeavoured to impede his chances of victory. After being grabbed by the opponent as he made a break for the lead, xQc reached the conclusion his opponent was stream sniping, and so spent the rest of the round ensuring his enemy could not pass him. He held him in place for some time, allowing a number of other players to pass. Then, in one final moment of karma, the sniper was knocked off the map and plunged into defeat. This, unsurprisingly, cheered xQc up considerably, shouting: “F**king deserved it! Deserved, f**k you! Absolutely butchered!” His chat, for their part in the moment, were also delighted to see the suspected stream sniper receive their comeuppance. xQc wins 5 Fall Guys games in a row Fans of the Canadian have seen him playing a lot of Fall Guys recently, even winning 5 matches in a row. Some are worried about the impact of “try-hards” on fun, casual games, like Fall Guys, but xQc didn’t seem bothered about this, simply celebrating the small victory over one annoying opponent.

  • Voice of One Punch Man’s Saitama reveals hilarious Fall Guys anime parody – Dexerto

    Voice of One Punch Man’s Saitama reveals hilarious Fall Guys anime parody YouTube/MaxMittelmanVoice actor Max Mittelman, best known for bringing the character of Saitama from One Punch Man to life, has revealed a downright hilarious Fall Guys anime parody with a little help from some friends. The whole project actually began back on August 25, when Mittelman jokingly tweeted: “Fall Guys: The Anime,” to the approval of 3,500 likes. This idea ended up sitting well with user Russel Baclig, who went to work right away trying to create the joke idea that Mittelman had pitched. A single day later, the project was off the ground – and better yet, Mittelman was going to contribute to it in more ways than just being the catalyst for its creation. On September 4, Saitama’s voice actor revealed the project was complete. “Last week, I jokingly tweeted ‘FALL GUYS: THE ANIME,’” he wrote. “This week, thanks to our new friend, that dream has become a reality.” Best of all, fellow voice actors Robbie Daymond (known for Prompto in Final Fantasy XV and Akechi in Persona 5) and Ray Chase (known for Roy in Super Smash Bros and Puri Puri Prisoner in One Punch Man) joined in. The video is a nice parody for both Fall Guys and anime in general. The plot is that a very serious gamer is trying to grief casual players. Eventually, the three have to team up to take on the antagonist and qualify for the next round. Last week I jokingly tweeted “FALL GUYS: THE ANIME” This week thanks to our new friend @RusselRacoon – that dream has become a reality. @RobbieDaymond@RayChase@FallGuysGame@Crunchyroll pic.twitter.com/6ukR6Jxziq — Max Mittelman (@MaxMittelman) September 4, 2020 Amusingly, the video even includes a Dragon Ball Z reference when the antagonist proclaims, “This isn’t even my final form,” and sheds his hotdog skin – a callback to Frieza’s line from DBZ. For fans of Fall Guys, anime, One Punch Man and just animation in general, this is definitely an amazing video to check out and share with your friends. It’s crazy to think that a joke tweet could result in an entire video – but hey, that’s the internet in 2020. Kinda awesome.

  • Twitch streamer goes viral with “easiest” Fall Guys win ever – Dexerto

    Twitch streamer goes viral with “easiest” Fall Guys win ever Twitch: AutrushTwitch streamer Autrush managed possibly the easiest Fall Guys win ever thanks to a hilarious bug that sent him catapulting to the finish line. Fall Guys became an instant sensation after its August 4th release date. The demand for the game was so beyond the developers’ expectations that the servers were pushed to the max, and they had to plead with hopeful players to stop review-bombing them on Steam. Streaming sites have been thoroughly populated with videos of the zany battle royal game, with plenty of funny and frustrating moments to keep fans entertained. Streamer Autrush, real name Quentin, was one such streamer who felt the enormity of the player base when a clip of a funny glitch in a Door Dash round garnered more views than he expected. The Door Dash round involves players trying to get to the finish line first by avoiding the fake doors and bursting through the real ones. Autrush managed to move uninterrupted through the first door, but got caught on one of the fallen blocks after making it through the second. This flung him across several gates, far ahead of his competitors. “What the f**k just happened?” he exclaimed as his character was sent soaring across the level. As the streamer crossed the finish line he laughed, calling it the “easiest game my life.” Read More: 5 must-know tips before you play Fall Guys – While the video of the original Twitch stream has only 21 views, the clip of the hilarious glitch has over 90,000 views at the time of writing, so the streamer’s incredible luck has gone viral. Whether or not anyone else will be able to replicate his success, though, remains to be seen but Fall Guys has thrown up some pretty hilarious moments so far.

  • The crazy numbers behind TimTheTatMan’s Fall Guys win – Dexerto

    The crazy numbers behind TimTheTatMan’s Fall Guys win Mediatonic / TimtheTatman TwitchAfter an epic quest filled with near-misses, trolls, hackers, and more, star streamer TimTheTatman has finally won his very first Crown in Fall Guys, and he racked up monstrous numbers on Twitch while doing it. Since Fall Guys came out on August 4, people have been getting hyped seeing their favorite streamers add more Crowns to the collection. Unfortunately, viewers watching TimtheTatman’s channel couldn’t indulge in such pleasures. Tim’s quest for his first win dominated seemingly the entire Twitch-sphere’s attention in the days leading up to the eventual victory; his streams routinely net thousands of viewers as it is, but during the chase for the Crown, the floodgates of the internet poured over his channel. In the moments leading up to his ultimate Fall Guys achievement, people were obsessed with all the memes and blunders that Tim would face before claiming his grand prize. Crowned Twitch streamer Though Twitch stuttered and lagged at times, when Tim was the last one standing on Hex-A-Gone, he had clearly surpassed a whopping 346,000 viewers. He stopped streaming shortly afterwards, but had attracted 743,713 unique viewers throughout the day, according to TwitchTracker. And he kept about 10% of those new eyes, as he gained 73,222 followers before ending the stream. His average viewership on the day of the victory tallied at 181,703 while the total hours watched on his channel was at a staggering 1,168,955. Not to mention the healthy 6000 subs he gained within minutes of grabbing his Crown. Just three days prior, the craze spread to social media, where he collected over 5,000 Instagram followers and approximately 25,000 on Twitter, per data from Socialblade. Last but not least, Tim also managed to get trending on Twitter, as the phrase ‘HE DID IT’ hit #8 on tweet charts following his long-awaited achievement. Needless to say, TimtheTatman has been one of Twitch’s largest streamers for a while, but the past few days put the internet’s spotlight directly on his shiny head. Before adopting Mediatonic’s party game, Tim’s broadcasts floated comfortably around 41,000 viewers, with peak viewerships clocking in at 48,129 on the day of Warzone’s Season 5 release and 68,149 the subsequent evening, according to Twitchmetrics. Then, Fall Guys came into the picture on August 11 and it took about a week of Tim’s aggravation (and losing streak) to build up, but when it did, people started to notice. I don’t think I’ll ever see numbers like this again… crazy… pic.twitter.com/p30mWm1PM9 — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) August 19, 2020 On day one, Tim’s peak viewership soared above what he’d been achieving on Warzone, with an average concurrent viewers of 44,113 and a peak of 69,581 when he switched to Fall Guys. Then Monday, August 17 came around, and as his losing streak grew, so did the traffic. He peaked at 129,018 viewers, which was outdone by the next day’s high of 143,372, all there to see the star streamer attempt to grab his first crown. Tim admitted to being aware of the inflated numbers that the Fall Guys hysteria had created, so the question now is whether or not all those viewers will stick around now that the star streamer finally has a win.

  • Top 3 tips for Fall Guys after the Big Yeetus update – Dexerto

    Top 3 tips for Fall Guys after the Big Yeetus update Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Developer Mediatonic has released a brand new patch for Fall Guys titled The Big Yeetus and Anti-Cheatus Update and it changes the game up in a pretty significant way. Here’s some tips to help you out. When Fall Guys first launched back in August 2020, the game had a surprising amount of predictability. The way each player acted was, of course, completely random and you always had to take that into account, each object in the levels worked the exact same way in the exact same patterns. This, of course, allowed you to memorize the level in an easy way. Now, developer Mediatonic has released The Big Yeetus and Anti-Cheatus Update for the game, which brings a new level of chaos to each and every level. Sometimes objects will be moving faster than normal, sometimes they’ll be moving in a different direction, and sometimes there will be whole new objects that weren’t there at all before. This new patch might be a bit intimidating for some players, so here’s some tips to keep you level headed when diving into Fall Guys after the new update. Throw out all of your previous strategies Because of the new update, most of the objects in the game now are random. The full list of changes is currently unknown but there seems to be a vast range of possibilities. For example, in Gate Crash, the speed and the order in which doors move up and down can be completely different than before, so if you memorized the pattern before, it’ll no longer help you. Because of this, you should really just throw out your previous strategies. They won’t help you much anymore and while that can be a bit intimidating, you don’t want to utilize them now and get left behind on the level. Use Big Yeetus to your advantage For those that don’t know, Big Yeetus is a giant spinning hammer that was made a part of Fall Guys with the last update. How and where Big Yeetus will appear is pretty random and if you unintentionally get hit by it, you may find yourself getting flung across the level in a way that you didn’t want. I’ve got a SPICY LEAK for you all We’re working on a little something that we have been calling… B I G Y E E T U S Big Yeetus will randomly appear in levels – to shake things up Big Yeetus is Chaotic Neutral Big Yeetus is not your friend Big Yeetus is not your enemy pic.twitter.com/nIBBKcf5qM — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 2, 2020 That being said, if you time it right, you’ll be able to use Big Yeetus to your advantage. Because of how fast it spins, it could absolutely launch you across a large gap of the level, allowing you to skip that part if you so desire. While it might be unfair to say that Big Yeetus will… Yeet you across the finish line every time, it may help you in your quest to qualify. Taking your time is now more important than ever This was something to note before the update but it matters now more than ever. Take your time. Seriously, it’s ok if you’re not in first place in the first couple races or if you take a couple extra seconds to time your jump right. Everybody is doing it now that the update is out. The first thing you need to do when you join a match now is take in your surroundings and patterns. Watch how objects behave because chances are it’s different than how they behaved before. Panicking will more than likely result in your loss, while taking your time just might let you qualify.

  • Shroud claims Fall Guys “is going to die” unless it finds party game roots – Dexerto

    Shroud claims Fall Guys “is going to die” unless it finds party game roots Mediatonic / Twitch: shroudPlenty of people are complaining about hackers being the demise of Fall Guys. However, streamer extraordinaire Michael ‘shroud’ Grzesiek has focused in on one thing that could lead to the game’s death — losing its party game roots. Fall Guys is about as competitive as party games come. The battle royale, everyone fending for themselves (unless it’s a team challenge) nature of the game means it’s hard to not get competitive. If you lose in a terrible way, you can feel pretty hard done by. This has morphed into a lot of people taking the game very seriously. It’s fair play — after all, who doesn’t love winning — but for shroud, the hyper-competitive nature of Fall Guys despite it being a party game can be a pretty big turnoff. Shroud even went as far as to say that it will “die real quick” unless the developers do two things. One is to add new content and new maps. The second is to potentially bring in custom lobbies. Both of these will help keep Fall Guys rooted in the party game genre. “Fall Guys is going to die real quick for sure. After playing it, there is no way it will be any more exciting for any longer unless they add maps quickly,” shroud claimed on his August 24 stream. “I don’t care about playing with f**king strangers dude. Customs would be like, okay-ish, but you can already gather that many people together. I just wish it was more of a party game than what it already is.” It makes sense as to how these two things can make Fall Guys a bit more casual. New maps will keep new players coming in, and old ones returning. Customs will also allow massive groups of friends to play together, rather than queuing up as a four-stack currently. Luckily for shroud and friends, there’s some new maps on the way. At Gamescom, Fall Guys Season 2 is set to be announced. At least four new game modes — Treasure Hunt, Chicken Chase, 100-player Door Dash, and Wall Guys — are expected to be added. Here’s an early look at the some upcoming game modes that were found by @uguuCyuubi. – “”Treasure Hunt”” mode – “”Chicken Chase”” mode – “”Door Dash”” mode (100 player support!) – “”Wall Guys”” mode pic.twitter.com/NomULDztBl— Shiina – Fall Guys News & Leaks (@ShiinaFG) August 14, 2020 There’s also an infinite number of features Fall Guys could add to hone in on this concept. Couch split-screen co-op, or the ability to make your own maps would help build on the party game concept. It’s still pretty early days however, and there’s a lot of potentially good concepts that could be added to Fall Guys eventually. If Mediatonic can somehow cater to the uber-competitive and the casual players, Fall Guys should be here to stay for a while yet.

  • Pop to the Top Challenge answers best Pop-Tarts flavor and Fall Guys streamer – Dexerto

    Pop to the Top Challenge answers best Pop-Tarts flavor and Fall Guys streamer Pop to the TopSix streamers took part in the ultimate Fall Guys competition as the The Pop-Tarts Pop to the Top Challenge proved which flavor reigned supreme. The Pop-Tarts Pop to the Top Challenge gave six streamers – SweeetTails, JamesJustPlays, Ploo, Lough, Sommerset, and LuckyChamu – the chance to battle for the ultimate Fall Guys bragging rights, all while snacking on some tasty Pop-Tarts. Each representing a different Pop-Tarts flavor, the players faced off in two separate stages to see who could get the most crowns. The competition was filled with hilarious hijinks, epic failures, incredible triumphs, agonizing near-victories, and tons of chewing. In the end, only one flavor of Pop-Tarts could remain as champion. Pop-Tarts Pop to the Top Challenge ends with Frosted S’Mores as the winning flavor In the first stage, it was a neck and neck competition between SweeetTails, LuckyChamu, and JamesJustPlays. Lucky Chamu managed to take first place, but the first stage ended in a tie between SweeetTails and James, which led to a one-round runoff to decide who would be the second captain. Even the runoff was a nail-biter, with both players being eliminated in the same stage, but the final ruling crowned SweeetTails as the victor. With LuckyChamu on one side and SweeetTails on the other, the six competitors decided to do a boys team versus a girls team to decide the ultimate Pop to the Top Challenge victors. In the end, it was Team Frosted S’Mores with Lucky, Lough, and James taking on Team Raspberry with SweeetTails, Ploo, and Sommerset. Playing as a trio, the teams had 35 minutes to rack up as many crowns as they could as a squad. The two were neck-and-neck at the end, with the teams tied as the boys were playing their final lobby. If they managed to secure the crown, they would be the winners, but if not the two team captains would face off in a sudden-death competition. But it didn’t come down to that, as the boys managed to win the crown and take home a win for Team Frosted S’Mores. Did your favorite streamer or flavor emerge victorious? You can find more information about the event on its website.

  • Sergio Aguero shows the epic highs and tragic lows of Fall Guys – Dexerto

    Sergio Aguero shows the epic highs and tragic lows of Fall Guys Devolver Digital / SLAKUN10 TwitchManchester City star forward Sergio Agüero joined in the Fall Guys craze in his latest Twitch stream, showing the full spectrum of emotions that comes with racing jelly beans through a wacky obstacle course. Devolver Digital and Mediatonic’s Fall Guys has enthralled millions of players since the August 4 launch of the strange battle royale. The gaming community has fallen in love with the bright colors of the arenas and adorably clumsy gameplay that factor into the overall appeal. One of those gamers is MC’s prolific No. 10, Agüero. And just like all players jumping into the title for the first time, it was equal parts terrible and hilarious. The early rounds in his Twitch broadcast showed him getting acclimated with the purposefully awkward movement of the jelly-beans. But the striker was mystified at some of the mini-games including See Saw, Hoarders, and Fruit Chute. This is absolutely routine for anyone experiencing the games for the first time, but it’s chaotic nature, at times, confounded the all-time record MC goal-scorer. After the first round of Gate Crash, he was frantic after thinking he had barely missed the cut since he was in a large scrum near the finish line. Even though the large notification of ‘Te has Clasificado’ (Qualified) flashed on his screen, it wasn’t until he noticed his character could move in the next mini-game that it finally hit him. Some of his biggest reactions came after being the last contestant to qualify after a hazardous run in The Whirlygig almost saw him bow out early multiple times. Of course, it wouldn’t be a proper broadcast appearance for Agüero if it didn’t include a game-winning goal in some capacity. He got that chance in Fall Ball, a Fall Guys interpretation of the beautiful game, in which he broke the 1-1 overtime draw with a sizzling header from an off-the-wall cross at the top of the box that deflected over a defender and into the net. Though his streams are few and far between, Sergio’s Twitch chat was loving the antics that came out of his dive into Fall Guys and, by the looks of it, so did the Manchester player.

  • Ninja, Mr Beast & more get Fall Guys skins after $1 million charity bid – Dexerto

    Ninja, Mr Beast & more get Fall Guys skins after $1 million charity bid Twitter: @aimlab[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] After an intense bidding war, Ninja, Aimlab, and Mr Beast decided to collaborate at the last minute and won the Fall Guys Battle of the Brands competition with a $1 million bid, which means their skins will be made and added to the popular battle royale game. A couple weeks back, developer Mediatonic announced a bidding war for their game Fall Guys. Notable members of the community were tasked with donating money in order to get a skin designed by them added to the battle royale, and needless to say, it was a success. The competition had some major players like Ninja, Mr. Beast, and more, all making insanely high bids. At the end of the day, however, multiple people came out on top on August 31. Crowns should be held in the palms of those who continue to do good 👑 We’ve teamed up with @G2esports, @Ninja & @MrBeast to pledge $1,000,000 for charity! @SpecialEffect you dropped this 👑 pic.twitter.com/siBA3q819d — Aimlabs – Academy now live in-game! (@aimlab) August 31, 2020 In a last minute move, Ninja, Mr Beast, Aim Lab, and G2 Esports teamed up to collaborate and are officially the winner of the self-described “Battle of the Brands,” capping things off with a whopping $1 million bid. Unfortunately, we don’t have a look at the skins that will get added to the game. While Ninja and Aim Lab collaborated in the past for a cosmetic combining both of their brands, there’s no telling how they will look now that Mr Beast and G2 Esports are a part of the team. Beyond the cosmetic, the money is going to a good cause. Rather than pocketing the cash itself, all the funds raised are going towards Special Effect, a charity in the UK that helps gamers with physical disabilities. After their winning bid, the official Fall Guys Twitter account confirmed that all four participants would be getting their own skins, rather than just one between them. “YES! We will include 4 costumes as a special thank you to the amazing people that made this possible,” the tweet read. Raising $1 million for @SpecialEffect will have such an INCREDIBLE impact! We’ll now sort out the donations while our artists start to collab with the winners on their skins! YES! We will include 4 costumes as a special thank you to the amazing people that made this possible ♥️ — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 31, 2020 Generally speaking, major skins have cost around five crowns in the past, which is the currency earned by winning Fall Guys matches. It wouldn’t be shocking if these cosmetics are similar in price or even cost more, considering the size of the bid that ultimately won. Hopefully this isn’t the last skin competition Mediatonic does. Given how much money they raised with this one, it’s possible they’ll consider holding another in the future.

  • Pokemon artist goes viral with incredible Fall Guys skin crossovers – Dexerto

    Pokemon artist goes viral with incredible Fall Guys skin crossovers Game Freak / Twitter: @FallGuysGame[jwplayer KgEHMxKl]An artist went viral after creating epic Pokemon skin concepts for hit party battle royale Fall Guys. The stunning concept is the perfect crossover you never knew you wanted until now. Fall Guys has taken the world by storm since its debut on PC and PS4 in August. The party battle royale has been a massive hit on streaming sites like Twitch, as viewers flock to see their favorite personalities wipe out in glorious fashion. A talented artist went viral on social media when he created Pokemon-themed skins using Gen I monsters. The incredible creation brings the iconic Nintendo RPG together with the latest gaming craze in the most perfect way possible. Pokemon Fall Guys skin concepts The concept behind FG is brilliant: take Mario Party-style mini games, combine them with extreme physics, and let 60 players duke it out in obstacle courses until there is only one left standing. To celebrate the party game, artist Chase Morello posted his Pokemon x Fall Guys crossover on August 23. The creator went with popular Gen I starter evolutions Blastoise, Charizard, and Venesaur. Morello uploaded a video of his concept in a tweet that shows off what it would look like in-game. “Gotta wear em all!” he captioned the post. The clip quickly went viral on social media with over 600k views at the time of writing. https://twitter.com/ChasingPolys/status/1297607861237886978 The artist even hilariously replied to fans who claimed that the Grass-type starter’s skin had a “really long neck.” In a separate tweet, he quoted a reply that said “Tall Venasaur looks so cursed omg” and jokingly responded with “It is better to be feared than loved.” Morello is really talented creator who actually re-created other popular monsters in 3D. He has previously made Gen III Legendary Pokemon Rayquaza and Kyogre. Currently, Fall Guys skins can either be bought using in-game currency, or by exchanging coveted Crowns which are obtained by winning a match.

I’ll do $422,222.22, Fall Guys,” they posted, after offering to partner up with their fellow YouTuber. The YouTube family bid a staggering amount of $422,222.22, however, there is still another week to go, leaving plenty of time for more bids.

We see that $420,069…and raise 69 cents. $420,069.69 and a Peach Guy,” the account tweeted. Given the low number, it’s likely that Ninja and Aimlab or even Mr Beast reenter the bidding war. There’s still plenty of time remaining. Oh no 🤦♂️@hellotushy is back 😂👌 $420,069.69 Money all goes to @SpecialEffect If you don’t know what’s happening, look here:https://t.co/JWm7rbsS83 https://t.co/1RALK119JA — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 19, 2020 Update August 19 at 11:40 AM PST Ninja and Aimlab have joined forces to take on Mr Beast in the Fall Guys skin bidding war. The new bid is a whopping and amusing $420,069. Even more crazy is the fact that there are still 12 days of bidding left, so this may not be the end of the bids. “I’ve decided there is no way I’ll be able to beat Mr Beast without some help,” Ninja tweeted. “Aimlab with our powers combined and a bid at $420,069.” The new skin, should Ninja and Aimlab win, combines the streaming star with the Aimlab logo.

Update August 18 at 3:02 PM PST Mr Beast is back on top, bidding a whopping $300,000 to surpass AimLab who had bid an amusing $210,069 to overcome the former top bidder in Ninja. The YouTuber had previously said he was going to wait until next week to bid again, but decided to just go ahead and raise the amount by nearly $90,000. So far no one has rebid, but given how fast and furious things have become, there’s no telling how high people would be willing to go in order to get their very own Fall Guys skin.

Now, the game is trying to make it a reality. “The thirst from brands has been unreal… so we’re turning it into something positive!” the account wrote. In order for a custom skin to be created, users were asked to tweet the highest amount they’d be willing to donate to Special Effect – a charity designed to help gamers with physical disabilities. $25,000 for an APE skin with my Silverback Gorilla brand on the shirt, i’ll send the proper legal documents that will give you permission, if my bid ends up being the highest, which i doubt since corporations can drop 100K like it’s a penny — Trainwreck (@Trainwreckstv) August 17, 2020 One of the first big bids came from Twitch star Trainwrecks with $25,000 who wanted an “APE skin with my Silverback Gorilla brand on the shirt.” Fighting Game Rivals of Aether offered $10,000 if Fall Guys would put their character Ranno in the game. However, Mr Beast made an offer that blew all the others away: $100,000. While the YouTuber didn’t elaborate on the skin he had in mind, opting to DM the account instead, his bid didn’t last.

  • New Big Yeetus obstacle is about to make Fall Guys even harder – Dexerto

    New Big Yeetus obstacle is about to make Fall Guys even harder Mediatonic[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Even though some people think that Fall Guys is hard enough as it is, developer Mediatonics is about to add in a new feature to the game called Big Yeetus, possibly during Season 2, to make the game even more difficult. Fall Guys is a pretty hard game, there’s no doubt about that. Despite being out for a month, many players still haven’t been able to earn that precious crown, even after putting a ton of effort into the game. The game’s randomness is one of the reasons behind its difficulty. No matter how much you practice and get better at all the mini-games, there’s always a certain level of RNG, whether it be a floor tile dropping out from under you in Jump Showdown or a fruit that seemingly locked onto your position in Fruit Chute. Now, a new slice of chaos is about to be added into Fall Guys in the form of a giant spinning hammer called Big Yeetus. Despite its hilarious name, it’s apparently not a joke. I’ve got a SPICY LEAK for you all We’re working on a little something that we have been calling… B I G Y E E T U S Big Yeetus will randomly appear in levels – to shake things up Big Yeetus is Chaotic Neutral Big Yeetus is not your friend Big Yeetus is not your enemy pic.twitter.com/nIBBKcf5qM — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 2, 2020 According to Mediatonic, the new giant spinning hammer will randomly appear in levels. While the developer didn’t say which ones will feature Big Yeetus, it wouldn’t be out of the realm of possibility to say that every single one will feature it. Does this mean you’ll be able to get smacked by Big Yeetus on Fall Mountain or even something like Hex-A-Gone? Possibly, which make’s its inclusion all the more evil. The only question that remains is when Big Yeetus will be added to the game. Although the developer didn’t give an exact release date, it should be sometime soon, although they could save it for Season 2 as well. Season 2 will be launching in early October and it set to be medieval-themed. Hi Norman Reedus @wwwbigbaldhead would you consider doing the voice for Big Yeetus? It probably only says the word “”YEET”

  • Mediatonic confirms Fall Guys crossplay in the works: everything we know – Dexerto

    Mediatonic confirms Fall Guys crossplay in the works: everything we know Mediatonic[jwplayer sdEiSVZH]Fall Guys launched across both PC and the PlayStation 4 but more platforms could soon be added to the mix with crossplay even in the works as well, the developers have confirmed. Fall Guys has quickly shot to the top of the charts as one of the most played indie games of the year. The bombastic 60 player game boasts dozens of unique mini-games that provide a great amount of replayability. Opting for the season pass format, it’s clear that developers Mediatonic plan to support the new release long into the future. While a mobile port is certainly something that they’re looking into, the team has been overwhelmed by demands from all angles. Whether it’s new levels, cosmetics, or ways to play, the community has been vocal about what should come next. Some of these features have already leaked in the game’s files, though one key element hadn’t quite been discussed until now. Could crossplay soon be on the horizon for Fall Guys? Will crossplay be coming soon to Fall Guys? The charming video game launched on August 4 for those on PC and the PS4. If you’re playing on one side of the equation, there’s currently no way to mix with the other. That means the player bases are entirely separate for now. Not only that, but progress does not carry over between the two instances of the game. Could this all be about to change? Well, crossplay is “a big thing” that the dev team at Mediatonic is “definitely looking into,” Game Designer Joe Walsh confirmed during the MinnMaxShow. “Fall Guys is about bringing people together to play wholesome games. It makes sense that crossplay is a part of that,” he said. The new release has already captivated more than 2 million players on Steam alone and countless more on console thanks to the PlayStation Plus launch. The door appears open for Fall Guys to hobble and jump towards new platforms and continue its huge success. The relevant topic begins at the 21:45 mark. When can fans expect crossplay in Fall Guys? While crossplay is now confirmed to be in the works for Fall Guys, there’s no telling when it might arrive. The developers have been overwhelmed by the launch. Even needing to pull the servers offline at times to accommodate millions of players. With efforts focused on that front, along with designing all-new content, crossplay could be a ways off. Walsh teased the idea of limited time playlists, fresh new modes for Season Two, and plenty more. But he wasn’t quite ready to provide a solid release window for crossplay functionality. Keep your eyes peeled over the coming weeks as the first season comes to a close. Not only are new cosmetics a given, but all-new modes, playlists, and more all appear to be on the horizon.

  • LA Chargers use new $5 billion stadium to play Fall Guys – Dexerto

    LA Chargers use new $5 billion stadium to play Fall Guys Mediatonic[jwplayer g3AYlLvE] The Los Angeles Chargers decided to play a few matches of extremely popular battle royale game ‘Fall Guys’ in style with their new $5 billion stadium – and it easily puts everyone else’s gaming setup to shame. Fall Guys just keeps getting more and more popular. After catching the eye of game journalists at E3 2019, the title gained popularity during its beta – even more so when it went free for PlayStation Plus members in August. It also helped that major streamers like TimTheTatman and others began playing it on Twitch. Because of this, it’s no surprise to see the game reach a wide mainstream audience. With millions of players across both PC and PS4, it’s safe to say that, at this point in time, tons of people know the name Fall Guys. Now, the game has even reached the Los Angeles Chargers – and it’s safe to say that they are playing the game in a way that nobody else is. In a video uploaded to the team’s official Twitter account, Placekicker Michael Badgley and Safety Rayshawn Jenkins of the LA Chargers can be seen playing a match of Fall Guys on the stadiums giant jumbotron. It’s not entirely clear what level the two were playing during their match, considering there’s only a couple seconds of footage, but the white and pink block seems to suggest they were playing Door Dash. Not gonna lie, that’s an expensive looking gaming setup https://t.co/12pOS97Bhd — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 15, 2020 For those that don’t know, that level tasks players with slamming themselves into blocked off doors in an effort to find which one is the real door. It’s one of the first few possible levels within the game, itself. While this is certainly impressive, it’s not the first time celebrities have played games on jumbotrons like this. Back in 2014, talk show host Conan O’Brien played Madden and Street Fighter on the AT&T Stadium’s jumbotron. Regardless of whether or not you’re interested in sports, getting to play any game on a screen this big would be a dream come true. Here’s hoping that the players do a few more Fall Guys matches on the screen in the future.

  • Man City use Fall Guys to tease fans over Messi transfer rumors – Dexerto

    Man City use Fall Guys to tease fans over Messi transfer rumors Wikimedia / Fall Guys / Man CityLionel Messi transfer rumors are bursting at the seams after he reportedly told Barcelona he finally wants to leave, and now Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City are teasing fans over the possibility using just Fall Guys. The game has surged in popularity of late, with over a million people following its quirky Twitter account and thousands dropping into the action looking for their first win. Alongside that short success story for developers, Mediatonic, in the world of football Barcelona appear to be at a crossroads. A big crossroads as well, with ESPN, The New York Times, and many other major outlets reporting the Argentinian has requested to end his contract, after suffering an embarrassing 8-2 defeat to Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-finals. With the bidding war potentially going to fly off the charts, there’s one team (and one manager) in particular that’s being linked strongly. Man City, and Pep Guardiola. Messi Manchester City rumors Pep enjoyed tremendous success managing the Catalan club, where he led teams to two European Cups, three La Ligas, and even scooped World’s Best Coach a couple of times too. Naturally, fans think the Spaniard may be eyeing a reunion with Messi and may take him to Manchester in the transfer window. With fans obviously in disbelief at the prospect, and likely searching online for any information they can get on the possibility of seeing Messi in sky blue next season, their Twitter account is having quite the field day. On August 26, their esports account tweeted a picture of a Fall Guys character with the head hidden. Their caption stated: “Who do you think our new Man City signing is?” It was later retweeted by the main account. The tweet stated the unknown player was “out of this world” with a goat emoji. Goat… Could it be? Who do you think our new @ManCity signing is? Announcement at 14:00 👀 pic.twitter.com/3VMDXuEiMq — Man City Esports (@mancityesports) August 26, 2020 The chances of Messi actually getting announced in this way is very unlikely, and any potential transfer is just speculation at this stage anyway. Man City x Fall Guys crossover skin revealed One of the great things about the admin running the Fall Guys account is their appreciation for crossover designs. Many high profile influencers and companies have been sending in their own, which have been shared – like Ninja, G2 Esports, Mr Beast, and more. Now, Man City have pulled out their own and we can’t work out if it’s cute or utterly terrifying. Yo @FallGuysGame what do you think of our new @ManCity signing? 🔥#ManCityxFallGuys pic.twitter.com/x8ybVllzgg — Man City Esports (@mancityesports) August 26, 2020 Exclusive skin coming soon? What Man City have achieved here is anticipation around their crossover skin design, not really confirmed anything transfer wise. This one may be a new and exclusive skin for Fall Guys in the future, similar to that of Portal 2 crossover character released on August 22. Soon enough, football fans might have another costume to select and it looks pretty cool based on the shots we have of it so far. Though, that’s unconfirmed at the time of writing. Until then, we can all hope we don’t see that big smile too often.

  • When is Fall Guys coming to Switch, Xbox? Crossplay officially confirmed – Dexerto

    When is Fall Guys coming to Switch, Xbox? Crossplay officially confirmed Devolver DigitalPlayers on PlayStation 4 and PC have been enjoying the obstacle course battle royale game Fall Guys since early August 2020, but now it’s finally moving over to Nintendo Switch and Xbox consoles. While Fall Guys was once the talk of the town, hype for the game has certainly died down in recent months. That being said, it still has a dedicated fan-base behind it that follows the game with every single new season and wants it to grow and expand as much as possible. Despite all the loyal players, the battle royale is currently locked on two platforms – PS4 and PC – with very little talk coming previously about the game’s port to other consoles. That is, however, until now, as it’s finally been confirmed for Nintendo Switch and Xbox. Fall Guys on Nintendo Switch and Xbox delayed An Feb 17, developer Mediatonic announced that the game was finally going to be making the jump to other platforms, coming to both the Nintendo Switch and Xbox in the near future. While the game was originally slated to release on both consoles sometime in the Summer of 2021, Mediatonic has since confirmed that the launch on both consoles will be delayed to an unspecified time in the near future. Given the fact that there’s no new release date or release window, fans will have to hold out a bit longer. Fall Guys Nintendo Switch announcement trailer Fall Guys crossplay support officially confirmed Beyond the release on other platforms, developer Mediatonic have revealed that crossplay will be coming to the game when it launches on other platforms, which is part of the reason why it’s chosen to delay the game. While technically not confirmed which platforms will support it, this means that fans will be able to play with others on another system, which is something they’ve been hoping for ever since its launch on PS4 and PC in 2020. Here’s hoping that it doesn’t take too much longer for Xbox and Switch fans to get their hands on the game but considering there’s no date or window, it might be a long time.

It remains to be seen as to who will rise up and take success on the other side of the Atlantic, but when the focus switches back to NA at some point, who knows if Castro and the boys will be able to defend their crown.

  • How to get rare Golden Eggs in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout – Dexerto

    How to get rare Golden Eggs in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout MediatonicRare Fall Guys Golden Eggs can be found in selected mini-games and if you find them, you may see your chances of getting a win boosted significantly. Here, we’ll show you where to get them and how to use them. The thing you should know about these items, right off the bat, is that finding them is always a good sign. They might work differently depending on which mini-game you find them in, but generally speaking, gold means gold and never forget it. If you’re looking for your first Fall Guys win and are wondering how to get ahead of the pack, this guide should help you qualify a lot more often. So, there’s a lot to unpack, so let’s dive into the details. How to get Fall Guys Golden Eggs First things first, you need to know which mini-games these Golden Eggs can appear in. You don’t want to be wasting time trying to find something that’s not there, after all, not to mention missing out on an opportunity to use them. These eggs can be found in both Egg Scramble and Fall Ball. These are both team-based games, so you’re going to need teammates to help out with qualification either way. Golden eggs, though, can appear in either of the two. They’re rare, though, so keep that in mind. You may not get the chance to use them every game. Fall Guys Golden Eggs in Egg Scramble Let’s kick things off with Egg Scramble. Here, the Golden Eggs are worth five points. The whole point of the game is to have collected more eggs than other teams in order to qualify to the next round, so jumping up your score in sets of five can give you a big boost. The value of these items may not be clear to every player, but those who know will be looking to steal them every chance they get. If you secure one, hang on tight because a herd of opponents will probably be coming for it. Fall Guys Golden Eggs in Fall Ball Things work a little differently in Fall Ball. The Rocket League-type mini-game is not always easy, as you rely heavily on teammates cooperating to get over the line. Generally, you need to score with the big footballs (or soccer balls) that drop into the game. At random, instead of a ball dropping in, you will get a huge Golden Egg instead. Manage to put one into the top corner of the goal like Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi would and you will earn your team five points. Imagine one of these dropped in a Champions League final. There would be chaos! So, there you have it. Now you know all of the modes you can get Golden Eggs in, how valuable they are, and how to use them in different situations. Hopefully, this helps the few that haven’t been reading too much into the game and were wondering how to get them. Now, there’s no excuse! Go and grab that first win.

  • How to get free Fall Guys Crowns with Twitch Prime Gaming – Dexerto

    How to get free Fall Guys Crowns with Twitch Prime Gaming MediatonicAfter previously making exclusive items available to Prime members in the past, Amazon has announced a brand new MVP Bundle exclusively for Prime Gaming members during the month of February – and the best part is that it includes free Crowns. Fall Guys Crowns have changed quite a bit since the game’s launch. Not in terms of how they act, but in terms of how they’re distributed. Previously, you could only get them either if you won a match or by leveling up the Battle Pass, but even then, you could only get three. After some backlash from the community, hey are much more widely distributed within the Pass, granting players one every few levels, in order to allow lower-skilled fans who might not be winning a chance to pick up some cool skins in the Item Shop just like everyone else. Now, it seems like they are opening up another avenue for players to get Crowns thanks to Prime Gaming. A new MVP bundle is now available for members of the service and it includes two items: an MVP costume for your character and three free Crowns. While the costume itself is interesting, even though it just seems to be a variant one of the previously released costumes, the main draw here is the Crowns. Generally, one part of a premium crossover is worth five of them, so this will get you the majority of the way there. How to claim your Fall Guys MVP Bundle Claiming your MVP Bundle is exactly the same as other Twitch Prime bundles and offers in the past so the process is relatively simple and really only requires that you follow some directions. That being said, if you need a breakdown, we’ve included a simple one below: Visit the Fall Guys Prime Gaming website – Scroll down the MVP Bundle and click “Claim Now” – Log-in to your account – The bundle and your free Crowns should be available the next time you log-in to the game. – All in all, it’s pretty cool that players are able to get free Crowns for their account simply by using Amazon Prime. Here’s hoping that the developers allow for more ways to get them in the near future – hopefully in more free bundles.

  • How to get Half-Life Alyx skin in Fall Guys – Dexerto

    How to get Half-Life Alyx skin in Fall Guys Mediatonic/Valve[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Once again, the skin based on the Half-Life character Alyx has been added to the Fall Guys in-game store for the next couple of days. Here’s everything you need to know in order to get your hands on it. Crossovers are an integral part of Fall Guys. Ever since the release of the game, fans have been treated to a number of different skins in the game based on other franchises, including Portal, Enter the Gungeon, Team Fortress 2, and Half-Life. One of the first crossover skins added to the battle royale when it was released back in August was Alyx, based on one of the main characters in the Half-Life franchise. Since then, however, she’s been absent from the store and because of that, many people don’t have the cosmetic. On September 18, however, she was re-added to the game. Here’s what you need to know to unlock her. How do I get access to the Alyx skin? Accessing the Alyx skin is like all the other cosmetics in the game: Open the Fall Guys application. – Go to the Store tab at the top of the screen – Spend 10 crowns in order to get the full costume (5 for the upper and 5 for the lower) – Currently, the main way you can earn Crowns is by winning the game. Each time you win a match, you earn one Crown. This means that it’ll take 10 wins in order to get your hands on the full costume. Of course, players can also get three of them by leveling up their battle pass, but right now that’s the only other way to get them without wins. Look who’s back in the Fall Guys store on PS4 and Steam! 10 👑 for the full costume! Hope you’ve got some dubs saved up! pic.twitter.com/xJTTyMA3F4 — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 18, 2020 How long will the Alyx skin be available in the store? According to the in-game counter, the skin will be in the game for the next two days, so you should have that long to get some more wins if you don’t have any. It is worth pointing out that, for some reason, when you click on the actual skin itself, it says that it’s only available for the next 17 hours. While this is more than likely just a bug, you may want to get your wins as quickly as possible, just in-case it’s not. Here’s hoping that even after it leaves the store it becomes available again soon.

  • How to get Portal 2 skin in Fall Guys on PS4 and PC – Dexerto

    How to get Portal 2 skin in Fall Guys on PS4 and PC Mediatonic[jwplayer g3AYlLvE] Developer Mediatonic has given DrLupo a secret Portal 2-themed skin for Fall Guys, due to him being one of the best players in the world when it comes to the game. Here’s how you can get the special item. It’s safe to say that Fall Guys has blown up to legendary status. After releasing in early August 2020, the game has consistently been one of, if not the most popular games on Twitch, with tons of popular streamers playing the game on a regular basis. One of the more prominent events with the game happened when Mediatonic gifted a special Portal 2-themed skin to the best Fall Guys player in the world as a meme, unknowing that that player was actually Twitch streamer DrLupo. The skin itself is pretty cool and we wanted to explain how you can get your hands on it too. https://twitter.com/DrLupo/status/1296807629163884544?s=20 What is the Portal-themed skin? The skin is based on P-body, who was seen in Portal 2 and was even featured as a playable character in the game’s iconic co-op mode. While it’s not a one-to-one representation of the lanky robot, you can very clearly tell who it’s supposed to be. While the item is fairly simple, it is really cool, especially if you’re a fan of the Portal franchise. It also seems like this isn’t the only skin in the game based on the series, as a Chell-themed skin was also found in the game’s files. How to get P-body skin in Fall Guys Before August 22, only DrLupo had the skin. Thankfully, the developers are now making it available for everyone. Getting to the in-game store is simple, but in case you don’t know, here’s a simple explanation on how to do so: Open the Fall Guys application. – Once you’re at the main menu, if you look at the top of the screen, you’ll see five icons, with one of them looking like a shopping cart. Tab over to it by tapping the left and right bumpers on your controller or by clicking it with your mouse. – How much is the P-body skin? The P-Body skin cost 5 Crowns in Fall Guys, as it’s a legendary skin. This is the same as the previous crossover skin, Scout from Team Fortress 2. For those that don’t know, there are two currencies in Fall Guys. Crowns can only be earned by either winning games or leveling up your battle pass (although only 3 are available in this method), while Kudos can be earned simply by playing the game.

  • How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage – Dexerto

    How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage Fall Guys’ colorful take on the battle royale genre is uniquely refreshing and players from around the world have been busy competing in its monstrous mini-games. To find out how you can beat Hex-A-Gone, we’ve put together a foolproof guide that will drastically increase your chances of snagging that crown win. While the jellybean filled world of Fall Guys may look cute and charming, the challenges are far from it. Each game is broken into four separate stages and players will need to run, jump, dive, and fight their way through each challenge in order to have a shot at the final. This is a lot easier said than done, especially when you have a total of 60 players competing to steal the crown from your clutches. The majority of Fall Guy’s mini-games require a decent amount of luck and skill to beat, but there is one round that has cemented itself as one of the hardest to beat. Hex-A-Gone’s disappearing tiles have claimed the lives of many a brave bean, but there are a few tips and tricks you can use to maximize your chances netting that all-important win. Play aggressively If you wish to avoid hurtling down into the pink ooze below and increase your survivability, you’ll need to start playing aggressively. Use the falling tiles to your advantage and cut off any players that try to encroach upon your zone. If you see a player slowly jumping between tiles, then quickly dash over to them and cut off their path. This will drastically limit the space they can utilize and often force them into making risky dives. Once you’ve successfully bamboozled any enemy beans and forced them into the bottom levels below, it’s time to resume your jumping. If you’re going to use this strategy, try to always leave enough platforms for yourself. If you don’t have the space to pull off any aggressive plays, it’s often best to focus on a more methodical approach. Take things slow and master those jumps As we stated above, there will be times where taking a slower strategy will give you the best chances of winning. Not only does hopping increase the time you can remain on each tile, it will also allow you to conserve what little space you have left. Mastering the standard jump and jump dive is also important when traversing the ever-changing environment. A standard jump will allow you to reach distances of one missing tile away, while a well-timed jump dive allows you to leap to tiles two spaces away. Only use the jump dive when no other options are available as one misstep can lead to your elimination. Always plan ahead The best beans are always two steps ahead. By planning your route and jumps, you can drastically limit those frustrating situations which lead to an early demise. Pay attention to your surroundings and look for opportunities where you can begin cordoning off your own separate area.

This will allow you to effectively see which sections of the map are still safe to land on, giving you time to begin accessing areas of the level that offer a safer descent to the bottom. After all, falling off one tile can quickly lead to several floor drops. Even if you do end up falling, try to remain focused and plan for the next level. Instadrop for a quick win There are a total of 8 levels in Hex-A-Gone and while it may be tempting to slow your descent, many players have found that racing to the bottom is just as effective. This strategy may seem counterintuitive, but it can actually give you the edge needed to claim a win. As soon as the round starts, quickly begin dropping to the last blue floor and run across all the tiles until you have your own lane. Try to cut out the middle section and leave a few tiles on the outskirts as the majority of players will simply fall straight through the center. Of course, this trick only works if you’re one of the few doing it. If there are a number of players choosing to instadrop, then it’s best to forgo this strategy altogether. So there you have, a few quick tips that should give you the tools needed to finally beat Hex-A-Gone and claim that elusive win.

  • Have tryhards ruined gaming? Viral video divides opinion – Dexerto

    Have tryhards ruined gaming? Viral video divides opinion via pxfuel / MediatonicA viral video is splitting opinions among people on whether or not ‘tryhards’ are ruining gaming, as players are saying that competitive games have progressively become less fun online. TikTokker ‘mbeen22’ posted a clip of Twitch streamer ‘BOBBYWASABl’ playing Fall Guys in a match of Hex-A-Gone. Throughout the gameplay, the broadcaster was actually holding up really well in the increasingly stressful mini-game. Meanwhile, Mbeen22 was commenting over the clip showing why he “stopped playing video games” since online titles get really competitive, even ones that are meant to be fun like Fall Guys. “This game has been out just one week and people are this tryhard at a party game,” he said. “You lose the fun in a game when you turn everything so competitive Mbeen22 later admitted he did come off sounding ‘salty’ and clarified that he feels a game like Fall Guys will just end up “stale and boring” like Fortnite where casual players who queue up “are bound to lose.” Still, his clip sparked a larger conversation among gamers outside of BOBBYWASABl or Fall Guys entirely. “It gets to the point where 90% of the players who win or even get top 10 are super tryhard,” one person said on Twitter. “So casual players are forced to either find a new game, spend a lot of time in Load screens, or become a try hard themselves.” Some people view tryhards negatively since more casual players can get instantly overwhelmed by people in matchmaking that are hard-pressed to win rather than to just have fun. But that’s where an important distinction is being asked: is tryharding the same as simply trying to win. “Sometimes people just want to hop on, have a good time with their friends, play around. But next thing you know, they see sweats like this guy winning every single game he plays, then the game becomes unfun after five days,” Mbeen22 said. It’s here where people are split since there are players in the world who just approach games in a different way. For some people, shooting the breeze in a game is as far as it goes, to others, winning is the ultimate form of fun. “It seems that the guy that is playing the game is doing his best to win, and that’s fine,” another person said of the clip. “You don’t have to be the greatest in any game, people just like to try harder to win something that has a competition or competitive aspect to that game. If you want to play casually then go for it, but people play it differently from others.” So, have tryhards ruined gaming? Let us know on Twitter @Dexerto to hear about where you fall under the conversation.

  • Hilarious Skyrim mod brings Fall Guys to The Elder Scrolls – Dexerto

    Hilarious Skyrim mod brings Fall Guys to The Elder Scrolls Bethesda/MediatonicFall Guys is one of the hottest games out there at the moment, so of course, someone had to take it and turn it into one of the funniest mods for Skyrim we’ve seen yet. At this point in its lifecycle, there are more mods for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim than you can throw a Fus Ro Dah at, enough that if you try hard enough, you can play something that doesn’t resemble the game at all. Modders have, it turns out, gotten very good at porting anything and everything from Mario to Pokemon into Tamriel since Bethesda’s hit RPG first came out in 2011. With Fall Guys being one of the hottest games of Summer 2020, then a new mod bringing the game’s adorable characters into the fight between the Stormcloaks and the Empire should come as no surprise. Right at the start, the video plays on that Skyrim meme we all know and love, with a Fall Guy being eliminated, then greeted by Ulfric Stormcloak in the opening scene of the game. As things get going, you can of course choose to make your race, but why would you pick anything other than a Fall Guy while playing this mod? The pièce de résistance though has to be the terrifying and hilarious dragon Fall Guy that rescues you from having your head removed from the rest of your body. After the first level when you escape from the fort, you’re able to traverse the world and fight all of its monsters, except every character is now a Fall Guy. If you thought names in Skyrim were confusing before, just try keeping track of multiple quests from people all named “Fall Guy” with a random string of numbers behind it. The party battle royale might not have a Dragonborn skin yet, but this mod is probably a pretty good bet if you’re looking, for whatever reason, to combine the two together.

  • Genius trick to beat Hex-A-Gone in Fall Guys “99% of the time” – Dexerto

    Genius trick to beat Hex-A-Gone in Fall Guys “99% of the time” Devolver Digital/MediatonicPlayers have come up with a simple, quick, and devious way to beat the Hex-A-Gone challenge, which is considered one of the harder challenges in Fall Guys – and the best part is that it seems to have a high success rate. Fall Guys is easily one of the more unique battle royale games on the market. 60 players have to complete multiple obstacle courses in order to be the last one standing and win the game. While there’s a slew of different courses that players can encounter while playing through a game, there’s only a few that appear during the final round, in order to ensure that one person is left. One of these final courses is called Hex-A-Gone. In it, there are 8 different levels with a bunch of hexagon-shaped tiles. After a second, the tile will disappear. The goal is to stay alive for as long as possible, while other people drop through each level until they get eliminated. Generally speaking, it’s considered one of the harder courses in the game. However, it seems that players over on the game’s Reddit – specifically user lunplayz – have discovered an interesting tactic in order to beat the level. While it won’t guarantee you’ll win every single time, it seems like a decent strategy, and it’s certainly better what other players are doing right now. The strategy itself is pretty simple. As soon as the course starts, you purposefully drop to the final level. Once you’re there, you move in a circle around the initial drop site, destroying the tiles around it in the process. By the time that the other players reach the final level, most of the bottom layer should be completely destroyed, forcing them to drop to their automatic elimination. Of course, this isn’t a completely foolproof plan. There’s no way you can completely eliminate the bottom layer by the time players start getting to it. This means that, if they were on the outer edge of the layer, they may still survive. On top of that, if someone has a similar idea, they could ruin the whole plan right off the bat. Read more: 5 must-know tips before you play Fall Guys – Still, this seems to be one of the better ways to tackle the stage, with most people playing the level in a panicky fashion. It’ll be interesting to see how long it takes before this idea hits the metagame.

  • Has TimTheTatman won a game of Fall Guys yet? YES – Dexerto

    Has TimTheTatman won a game of Fall Guys yet? YES Twitch: TimTheTatman[jwplayer g3AYlLvE] Popular streamer TimTheTatman has been struggling to win a game of Fall Guys ever since the launch of the game in early August 2020. Here are the latest updates on his path to victory. TimTheTatman has had a rough time with Fall Guys, to say the least. Even though he’s been playing it consistently since the title’s launch in early August, he hasn’t been able to get a win in the popular battle royale game. The official Fall Guys Twitter account has joined in on the roasting too, giving him constant mockery for his inability to get a crown. TimTheTatman’s Fall Guys livestream Has Tim won a crown yet? YES! On August 19, Tim finally won a match of Fall Guys after numerous attempts! Tim’s win came after an exhilarating Hex-A-Gone level, where he was able to outlast another player by jumping slowly from block to block, employing a strategy that many are using right now. In an exciting start to the day, Tim’s first game saw him gunning miles ahead of the pack on the See-Saw level—prompting him to wonder if he had unintentionally started cheating or if the developers had covertly buffed his bean. At one point in the day, Tim pulled in over 230,000 viewers, shattering his previous record of 130,000 the day before. Normally, certain levels seemed to be give Tim trouble. One of the final levels, Hex-A-Gone, is well documented as one of, if not the hardest level in the entire game. In addition, levels like Slime Climb and Block Party have also been giving him problems. On the plus side, See-Saw seems to no longer be an obstacle. It also doesn’t help that players are purposefully “holding” onto Tim’s character in-game in order to cause him to lose, essentially griefing him. For those that don’t know, players can grab and hold onto surfaces in characters in-game, which can be useful in certain game modes. During his August 19 attempt, Tim had a pretty intense reaction when a player dressed as a hot dog started griefing him on Slime Climb, with Tim claiming that he was being trolled. Even after being held so often, he still hasn’t mastered self-defense. In the August 19 effort, he was grabbed and then subsequently tossed himself into elimination — ruining the hot start. The game is difficult of course and griefing is definitely annoying, but for an experienced gamer and professional streamer, it’s almost inexplicable how long it’s taken for him to get a win. Read More: How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage – The challenge has it’s upsides though, as viewership on his Twitch channel has enjoyed a healthy boom as the world watches on anticipating his first-ever win. At its peak, he was garnering over 130,000 viewers. We’ll keep this article updated as Tim’s efforts continue, so if you don’t have time to watch him endlessly fail, just check back here to find if he’s won yet.

  • First look at new Fall Guys Season 2 level with “Big Yeetus’ Friend” – Dexerto

    First look at new Fall Guys Season 2 level with “Big Yeetus’ Friend” Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] After being teased during the initial sneak peak at Gamescom Opening Night, Fall Guys has given us a first look at gameplay from a brand new level coming during the Season 2 update for the game and it features a new obstacle. Even though it doesn’t really feel like it, Fall Guys has been officially released for almost two months now. The game has enjoyed massive success, constantly topping the charts on Twitch for weeks and getting big names like TimTheTatman and others involved. Now, Season 2 for the game is only a couple weeks out. On October 6, fans will be able to jump into a slew of new levels, unlock a ton of new costumes, and more. Players even got a look at the medieval-themed season during Gamescom Opening Night but since then, we haven’t gotten anything in regards to it. Until now. We used up the best possible name when we came up with Big Yeetus… Now we need your help to name Big Yeetus’ new friend from Season 2 WHAT ARE THEY CALLED? pic.twitter.com/TQDqVkGN2a — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 23, 2020 Fall Guys has teased a first look at gameplay from one of the new levels thanks to a screenshot uploaded to the game’s official Twitter account and it seems like it’ll feature the “friend” of the famous Big Yeetus. The screenshot itself gives us the first look at one of the levels previously seen as concept art in the Season 2 sneak peak trailer. If the concept art is accurate, then it appears to be about halfway through the level. Right now, of course, we don’t have a name for this race level, however, it seems to include what the Fall Guys developers are calling the ‘friend’ of Big Yeetus, the giant spinning hammer that flings unsuspecting players across the map. Hopefully this is a sign that another look at the season is coming soon. Hopefully we’ll see a full trailer a week before it comes out, which is currently just a few short days away.

  • ‘Fall King’ goes viral for impressive recording of 350 Fall Guys wins – Dexerto

    ‘Fall King’ goes viral for impressive recording of 350 Fall Guys wins Mediatonic[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Are you ready to feel bad about your number of crowns in Fall Guys? One player has amassed so many crowns, that even the developers of the game have noticed. It’s not unreasonable to say that Fall Guys is one of the hardest battle royale games out there right now. While there is a technical skill involved to a certain degree (knowing where/when to jump, which tile to go, etc), there’s a lot of luck involved the game. What may work in one ‘episode’ may not work in another. Because of this, getting that crown is an insanely difficult task, and anyone who says otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Despite this difficulty, however, one player has managed to defy the odds and racked up an insane number of wins. One Twitter user by the name of InventorBLADES has managed to document 350 Fall Guys wins since the game’s launch back in August. InventorBLADES seems to be devoting most of his time to the game, racking up as many as he can throughout the day. On September 3, 2020 alone, he managed to get 18 wins – and he’s still going. The streamer has gotten such a large following that developer of Fall Guys, Mediatonic, stumbled across him and gave him a shoutout on Twitter, jokingly proclaiming him the ‘Fall King’. Win #350 on @fallguysgame . And another, and another, and another! #fallguysgame #twitch @twitch https://t.co/kC82W4RNmu pic.twitter.com/QFBh68qrCw — InventorBLADES ????????????????? (@InventorBLADES) September 3, 2020 While it’s unclear if this is how big his streak really is (surely he couldn’t have gotten all those wins in a row), 350 is certainly a respectable number – especially when so many people are struggling to even get a single victory. It might not be out of the question to say that’s one of the highest win counts in Fall Guys across the world, although that is purely speculation. Here’s hoping that InventorBLADES can keep it up because, it would be a shame if he stopped in the near future.

  • Fall Guys warns players over mobile version scam on YouTube – Dexerto

    Fall Guys warns players over mobile version scam on YouTube Devolver DigitalFall Guys players looking to catch the popular game on mobile have been warned by developers, as scams are starting to appear on YouTube. The game’s dev team might usually be a right laugh on Twitter, roasting big Twitch streamers like TimTheTatman for not picking up results. However, on a much more serious note, they have informed their bustling community about a problem not many people will want to walk into. Some of these scam videos have racked up over half a million views as well, with players pining for an app that simply does not exist. Fall Guys mobile scams appear on YouTube On August 17, their official account put jokes to one side for a moment, confirming that the title was only available on PC and PlayStation 4. Despite some ads saying otherwise, it is not yet a mobile game. They said: Fall Guys is only available on PC & PS4. If you see any ads for a mobile version they are scams.” Following on from that, they decided to roast what the scammers were doing to draw eyes to their content. The screenshot included in the tweet shows why people are being reeled in as well, with the Fall Guys logo printed onto an iPhone device, suggesting it’s on iOS. Fall Guys is only available on PC & PS4 If you see any ads for a mobile version they are scams a) They’re literally playing a video and pretending to play it b) There’s literally a mouse cursor on the screen c) I don’t want to live on this planet anymore d) Yeet me into the sun pic.twitter.com/ZKfw5gVaqW— Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 17, 2020 This scam video in particular links players to a website called fallguysmobile.com, which is not affiliated with the game’s developers whatsoever. The official website is in fact FallGuys.com, which shows as soon as you enter the home page that it’s just on one console and PC for now. Whether that will change in the future remains to be seen, but until we get official confirmation of its arrival on iOS and Android, probably best avoiding this type of clickbait video for now.

  • Fall Guys won’t stop roasting TimTheTatman on Twitter – Dexerto

    Fall Guys won’t stop roasting TimTheTatman on Twitter Twitch: TimTheTatmanFall Guys, the newest craze to take over everyone’s streams on Twitch, is notoriously difficult to win, and has left TimTheTatman struggling for an elusive ‘crown.’ So much so, that the game’s official Twitter account just won’t stop roasting him. So far, Tim, one of the biggest streamers on the platform, is yet to get a win. This, of course, has been much to his embarrassment and encouraged his fellow content creators to mock him endlessly. What Tim maybe didn’t expect though, was for the official Twitter account for the game to get in on the action. The FallGuysGame account has been very active since the game released, possibly even contributing to the game’s popularity. It all seems to have started when esports organization FaZe Clan asked their followers to tag someone who’d never get the crown. Unexpectedly, Fall Guys tagged poor TimTheTatman. At this stage, Tim was just surprised to get a shout out at all, even if it was a roast. He simply responded “holy sh*t.” But, FallGuysGame wasn’t done there. They followed up “been told to swing by and ask you how many crowns you have?” No response this time from Tim. @timthetatman been told to swing by and ask you how many crowns you have? — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 15, 2020 Things got real when the account just kept pestering him, asking him why he’d taken all the L’s. Realizing it might be getting a bit brutal, Fall Guys eased off a bit, and gave Tim some good news. It turns out, he’s not actually the worst player in the game, instead, he’s second last. @timthetatman Hey Tim, we just ranked all of our players by how well the are doing and I thought you’d like to know you aren’t actually in last place 👌 There’s one other account that’s done worse than you… but it’s actually a developer account that we use for testing AFK — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 16, 2020 NICKMERCS was having a great time with all the constant roasts too, and decided to highlight just how bad Tim really is, and show the world. Fall Guys were quick to respond: “embarrassing.” To help Tim in his time of despair, Fall Guys made the very generous offer to simply gift his account a crown, so that everyone could finally stop roasting him. Instead, Tim wanted his own character in the game. I demand my own fall guy in the game for all this slander — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) August 16, 2020 But, Fall Guys’ latest roast is possibly their best. “We thought maybe we could film ourselves winning,” they said, “and then you could just stream our video while you pretend to play?” @timthetatman Hey Tim, it’s me again. I’ve been chatting with the developers. We thought maybe we could film ourselves winning, and then you could just stream our video while you pretend to play? Save yourself from becoming a meme? — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 17, 2020 Unfortunately, Tim desperately needs to win himself a crown before the endless slander will stop. Although, it’s not certain even that would stop it. I gotta get a 👑 dude this has to stop https://t.co/UVPceKmN8c — timthetatman👑 (@timthetatman) August 16, 2020 The Fall Guys’ community manager, @OliverAge24, has been doing remarkable things with the account, and certainly knows how to grow a Twitter following. Less than a month ago, on July 20, they had 15,000 followers. On August 17, they have over 800,000. The popularity of the game itself has been a major factor too, but their Twitter game is also on top form.

  • Fall Guys Update 1.05 patch notes: new level, bug fixes, and more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys Update 1.05 patch notes: new level, bug fixes, and more Mediatonic/Devolver DigitalThe first Fall Guys update, patch 1.05, arrived on August 13 and brought with it a few notable changes – here’s everything you need to know about this latest patch. Fall Guys is a new game that seems to be getting even more popular as time goes on. The title is consistently at the top of the charts on Twitch and has sold over 2 million copies on Steam, with some unconfirmed estimates reporting that the game has 8,000,000 players on PS4. Despite this popularity, however, many fans have been wondering how long it would take developer Mediatonic to both fix bugs found in the game and add new and exciting content to keep their game at the top. As part of that effort, the devs released the first major update for Fall Guys on August 13. Easily the biggest part of this patch is the inclusion of a brand new level called Jump Showdown, which is a “final” round, meaning it’ll only appear as the last round before the game ends. The level itself is similar to Jump Club. Players are tasked with jumping over poles that sweep in a circle. The only difference between this and Jump Club is that the players will now have to worry about a collapsing floor. In addition to the new level, players will also notice that some bugs have been fixed. One major issue that they patched had been causing players to not be able to grab the crown on Fall Mountain, which has led to some pretty major frustration from players. Aside from that, however, the other bug fixes are pretty minor, dealing with crashes, weird physics, party problems, and more. https://twitter.com/FallGuysGame/status/1293208481848270851 Fall Guys August 13 update patch notes New level – Jump Showdown – Lowered the weighting for Royal Fumble to add more final round variation – Fixed crash at launch with certain regional calendars set in the operating system – Improved messaging for matchmaking and server errors – Fixed physics behaving erratically at high framerate on levels like Tip Toe – Fixed crown in Fall Mountain not being grabbable in rare situations – Addressed some collisions in Block Party allowing players to bypass the blocks – Fixed Parties sometimes failing due to too many requests – Addressed some special characters causing display issues in player names – Fixed Big Tease Achievement not unlocking in specific regions – PC only – Fixed certain game controller models not being detected on PC –

  • Fall Guys team mini-game guide: Egg Scramble, Hoopsie Daisy, more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys team mini-game guide: Egg Scramble, Hoopsie Daisy, more MediatonicWhile the yellow squad often feels at a disadvantage in Fall Guys, there are plenty of ways to fight back and gain the upper hand in team-based mini-games. We’ve compiled a detailed guide on each of the seven modes so you can get closer to your next crown. Fall Guys is all about skill. And maybe a little bit of luck. Ok, it’s mostly about luck but that’s what keeps everyone hooked to the charming battle royale. Games can be over in a flash but everyone is on equal footing going into each new round. It might be your lucky run where all of your favorite mini-games appear in rotation, or you could fall flat and be stuck with your least favorite. It’s a roll of the dice every time but a few things are guaranteed. In every single matchup, you’ll encounter at least one team-based game mode. Sometimes you’ll run into multiple in a row. While they might feel less ‘in your control’ than solo games, there’s still plenty you can do to swing the odds in your team’s favor. Here’s a full guide on every team mini-game in Fall Guys and how you can always be pushing for the win. Fall Guys Egg Scramble Guide Egg Scramble is often a complete mess of a mini-game. Three squads fight over a set amount of eggs for two minutes. Whichever team ends with the smallest collection of eggs in their base will be eliminated. The opening moments of a round has dozens of players jumping into the center to fight over three golden eggs. These award five points but teams often put too much effort into collecting these over all else. Read More: How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage – A completely viable strategy can often be to just wait for the initial chaos to calm down before making your move. You can assess which teams got the most out of the flurry and target their bases. More often than not, things can quickly devolve as one team with an initial disadvantage just gets piled on until the round is over. To combat this, do all that you can to defend your base while attacking the next lowest-scoring team. Try not to spend too much time stuck in one place. Regular eggs will do just fine if that’s all you can grab. Just make sure you’re constantly defending and bouncing eggs back into your base, or constantly attacking by yoinking eggs from other bases. Fall Guys Hoarders Guide Hoarders is a very similar mini-game to Egg Scramble. The only real difference being that the eggs are 100 times as large here. In this unique mode, teams of three will battle it out for control of seven balls. In order to claim one as your own, it simply has to cross the line and be placed on your side of the map. Given that teams have two minutes to struggle for control in this mode, things can be messy until the final moment. Instead of focusing on your own section of the map, a great tactic can be to pressure a specific team. If the red side starts out at a deficit, you can keep them there by grabbing enemies and booping balls out of their corner. You can always stick to a single ball and keep track of it through the entire round as well. So long as you’re doing your part to assist your team while keeping enemy scores low, you should be on your way to the next round. Fall Guys Rock ‘N’ Roll Guide In this particular mode, you have two distinct ways of playing. The ultimate goal is to get your ball to the end of the map as soon as possible. Three teams rush to get there first, with the slowest squad being knocked out of the match. You can focus on pushing or you can focus on blocking, the choice is yours. If you want to help push the ball, be sure to take a confident approach and instantly start running ahead. The sooner you can get through the initial high-ground phase, the better chance you’ll have at avoiding blockers in the next phase. If you’ve decided to be a blocker instead, you’ll need to abandon the ball almost immediately. Head to the end of the first phase and jump off straight away. From here, keep a close eye on the two rival teams and try to stand underneath. As soon as their balls reach the ground floor, you’ll be in place to stop the momentum and let your team cruise on through. Fall Guys Fall Ball Guide Fall Ball is maybe the simplest mode to get a grasp of in Fall Guys. If you know the basics of soccer (football), you’ll be right at home here. Two balls will drop into the map to start things out, and your team will need to score as many goals as possible in a brief time limit. Standing close to your goal can be extremely helpful as just a slight tap will offset any momentum as enemies push up close. You can also focus on grabbing rival players to stop them from saving goals on the other side of the pitch. The most overlooked part of this particular mode is what to do when new balls spawn in, however. Once a goal is scored, it takes a few seconds before a new ball appears in the middle of the map. It drops in from overhead, meaning that with perfect timing, you can dive into it, instantly launching it towards the enemy goal for a quick and easy score. Fall Guys Hoopsie Daisy Guide In Hoopsie Daisy you’ll be running and jumping nonstop. Hoops will continuously spawn in across the map and three teams are tasked with diving through them to rack up points. The more you can get in the time limit, the better chance you’ll have at progressing through to the next round. Golden rings will spawn in occasionally and you’ll definitely want to make these your priority. They award far more points than usual rings so expect plenty of competition as you get close. It can often be a good idea to stay closer to the center of the map. This allows you to time your movements and go after rings on both sides as soon as they appear. Try to focus on your own plays here rather than fixating on the enemy team. Pushing for as many hoops as possible should be your sole focus, regardless of what the enemy teams are doing. Fall Guys Team Tail Tag Guide Team Tail Tag can be one of the more frustrating minigames in Fall Guys. Three teams spawn with a set number of tails. Grabbing enemies will steal tails from their team and as per usual, the squad with the least gets eliminated. If you load into the map with a tail already attached, your job is to evade enemies at all costs. The key with this mode, though, is that tails can be stolen at the very last moments. Even if you play perfectly for the first 119 seconds, keeping your tail the entire time, someone can nab it on the last frame. This could be enough to drop your team down a notch and even out of the game. Moreover, you can only hold a single tail at once. So no matter how well you play, if your teammates get unlucky, it’ll drag you down. As a result, don’t stress too much about the first minute of the game. If you lose your tail and your team is on the decline, it’s no big deal. Leads can instantly change hands in a split second. Try to target the color closest to the bottom of the scoreboard when it does come time to grab a tail. This can help you narrowly secure a lead and move on to the next round. Fall Guys Jinxed Guide Last but not least, Jinxed is another team-based game that revolves around individual play more than anything. Two players start out with the ‘jinxed’ effect. Anyone they grab from here on out will also be tainted by this cloudy visual. The last team standing with an untouched player will win the round. Early in this mode, you’ll want to get your bearings and try to scout the jinxed players. If they’re close by without you noticing, it could lead to an early loss. Once you have this intel, the next step is figuring out your position on the map. You can try to remain in one place until enemies get close, or you can constantly be on the move. Both options are viable, so long as you keep an eye on the cloudy effects nearby. If you happen to be grabbed before the round ends, it’s now your job to hunt down enemy players. Grabbing as many rivals as possible will help swing the victory in your favor. Try to assess the space around you and look to cut off certain exits. If the opposite team has nowhere to run, you’ll be able to grab them with ease. Ultimately, many team-based mini-games in Fall Guys will come down to a lot of luck. Without a direct means of communication, you simply have to hope that your teammates will work together and be on the same page. In an ideal match, however, these tips can help you with every team game and help get you closer to your next crown.

  • Fall Guys ultra rare Unicorn skin revealed and available now for free – Dexerto

    Fall Guys ultra rare Unicorn skin revealed and available now for free Mediatonic[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has announced that players will soon be receiving an Ultra Rare Unicorn skin for their patience regarding cheaters in the game. The best part, however, is that it’s going to be completely free for everyone. Cheating has plagued the PC version of Fall Guys ever since it’s launched back in August. While the PS4 version has remained relatively cheater-free, players on the PC version have had to deal with them in a ton of lobbies. It wasn’t uncommon to see a player zip to the finish line instantly once the match started. Now, after the game’s mid-season update, dubbed the Big Yeetus and Anti-Cheatus update by Mediatonic, anti-cheat software has been implemented into the game, apparently reducing the number of cheaters drastically. While it would be unfair to say the issue is “solved,” it’s completely reasonable to say that it’s now manageable. To reward players for their patience with the cheaters, Mediatonic is releasing a brand new, Ultra Rare Twinklycorn skin and the best part is that it’s going to be free for everyone, regardless of platform, level, or Kudos/Crowns count. According to the developers, the skin is an alternate version of the Unicorn skin already featured in-game. While the original had white, pink, and blue accents, this version features more of a creamy-white base color, alongside a dark brown and purple tutu. Thank you Fall Guys community for sticking with us while we yeeted the cheaters As a reward for believing in us… In the next few weeks, we’ll be gifting you all an U L T R A rare alternate version of the Unicorn costume 🦄 Now it’s time to believe in… T W I N K L Y C O R N pic.twitter.com/eVEytHdprG— Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 17, 2020 The best part is that, as of September 25, 2020, the Twinklycorn skin has been added to the game. All players have to do is open up the Fall Guys application, and look in their inventory. There, players will find both the top and bottom portions of the costume. While there was never a release date locked down for the skin, it’s nice to see the developers release it so quickly. Keep it locked to Dexerto to find out when exactly you’ll be able to look for the Twinklycorn skin in your Fall Guys inventory.

  • Fall Guys Sneaky Update patch notes: Changes for Fall Mountain & more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys Sneaky Update patch notes: Changes for Fall Mountain & more MediatonicA brand new “sneaky” update has been rolled out for Fall Guys, confirming big changes to mini-games like Fall Mountain, Tail Tag, and Team Fumble. Many casual players and viewers of Mediatonic’s fun multiplayer game might have been wondering what was going to happen once TimTheTatman secured his first win. After all, that’s been its biggest draw on Twitch and it was fun while it lasted. That said, its developers have moved swiftly after Tim grabbed his crown to change things up. Some will be extremely welcome tweaks as well. Fall Guys Sneaky Update released Some games like Fortnite Battle Royale leave it up to players to find out what’s been changed with new content updates. Others are more traditional and release a blog post including all of the details players should know about. Fall Guys has gone one better and spilled it all onto Twitter instead. On August 20, they confirmed four major changes – seen below. Fall Guys Sneaky Update patch notes Valve costumes will now be available in the store on PS4 – Max player count for Fall Mountain is now 15 – Team Tail Tag and Royal Fumble timer is now 1:30 – No more back to back team games – We just stealthily made a few changes to the game 👀 S N E A K Y U P D A T E👌 Valve costumes will now be available in the store on PS4 👌 Max player count for Fall Mountain is now 15 👌 Team Tail Tag and Royal Fumble timer is now 1:30 👌 No more back to back team games— Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 20, 2020 Hints finally pay off Developers had been hinting that a new update was in the works for Fall Guys, and now we know everything included. The project’s lead game designer previously took to Reddit, warning fans about things that may be switched up. Responding to a post from Reddit user DrShrimpPuertoRiiico, they said: “Currently they’re set to 20, yes, but we’re looking at reducing them slightly and trying to unify the flow a bit more. Comment byu/DrShrimpPuertoRiiico from discussion inFallGuysGame “Generally the ‘Director’ (which is what we call the system that picks rounds) aims to ensure a 5 round tournament if possible, which is why players often see 20 player Fall Mountains, or the infamous Fall Ball 4th round with 10 players.” Now, we know this has been tweaked as mentioned. The player limit has dropped to 15. It will be interesting to see where they take the game next because competition for multiplayer games like this is fierce.

  • Fall Guys survival mini-game guide: Block Party, Roll Out, more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys survival mini-game guide: Block Party, Roll Out, more Mediatonic[jwplayer g3AYlLvE]Fall Guys survival mini-games are some of the hardest to beat in the entire game, especially since you only get one life. To help increase your odds of success, we’ve compiled a detailed guide on each of the three modes so you can get a shot at claiming the crown. Fall Guys sees up to 60 players take part in ridiculous mini-games that have been heavily inspired by gameshow classics. There’s Door Dash, a direct copy of Takeshi’s Castle’s infamous Knock Knock round, and even a nod to classic games from the UK’s very own It’s a Knockout. The action is highly competitive, very intense, and always ridiculously silly. However, grabbing a win can be incredibly difficult, especially when there are so many other players looking to take the crown from your very clutches. Fall Guys survival rounds are notoriously unforgiving and one mistake can send you reeling back to the menu screen. If you’re struggling to make it past the survival game modes, then read on for some lifesaving tips. Block Party Guide This mini-game requires you to avoid the moving walls and remain on the platform. Block Party may seem incredibly easy at first, but things can quickly take a turn for the worse if you get caught slacking. The first rounds require little effort to get through as the walls move very slowly, giving you more than enough time to safely dodge out the way. However, it’s during the final seconds that things really start to ramp up. To avoid falling into the pink stuff below, we recommend sticking to the middle of the map. Make sure you constantly run back to center after every successful jump, as you’ll be able to drastically reduce the time needed to reach both sides of the arena. Don’t veer to close to the top or bottom of the platform as one mistimed jump can cost you the game. It can be easy to get carried away by the momentum of the other players on the map, so try to always keep in the center of the pack to avoid being pushed off. Lastly, always look ahead to see which obstacles are coming your way, and begin preparing your movements well before the obstacle makes its way across the platform. Roll Out Guide Featuring gigantic rotating rings, various obstacles, and arduous gaps – Roll Out can defeat even the most competent players if they’re not careful. Due to the ever-moving nature of Roll Out’s platforms, it can be tempting to constantly run around. However, it’s actually more beneficial to limit your movements. Instead, try to only run when you need to find another platform. Read more: 5 big features Fall Guys could add next – The more you run around, the more chances you have of falling off. Players will often get in your way and this is where things can get a little dangerous. Trying to navigate particularly small platforms or those with obstacles on can quickly end in frustration, especially when you get knocked off by enemy beans. Find the slower platforms and stick to these for as long as possible before making the hazardous trek to the next location. Slow and steady really does win the race here. Jump Club Guide Avoid the two moving arms and stay on the platform to win. This minigame may sound simple, but it’s surprising how many players get caught out by it. After all, the two rotating poles drastically increase in speed during the game’s later rounds. While it can be tempting to limit your movements, it’s often best to run in the opposite direction. This will allow you to avoid both obstacles more easily as there will be a bigger gap between the moving poles. Once the gap is big enough, simply hop over and begin the process once again. In terms of positioning, try to always keep your distance from other players as even the smallest trip can result in a domino effect. In fact, it’s usually those who mistime their jumps that end up dragging other players down with them. These Fall Guys survival mini-game tips and tricks should give you the edge needed to claim the crown.

  • Fall Guys set for huge Season 2 update for Halloween – Dexerto

    Fall Guys set for huge Season 2 update for Halloween Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Developer Mediatonic has announced some new details about Fall Guys Season 2, including when it will launch, a small extension of Season 1, and a new look at the medieval-themed season. Fall Guys Season 2 has been a long time coming. After the game blew up back in August 2020, the developers were quick to announce what they had planned for the future at Gamescom Opening Night. Mediatonic promised a medieval-themed season, with knights, dragon, witches, and more making their way into the battle royale game. Now, Season 2 is almost upon us, but up until this point we didn’t have a ton of official fine-tuned details about the new stream of content and how the game would transition over to that season. Now, however, that’s all changed. BEAN SPILLING POST Announcing dates always feels like you’re cursing things, but it’s Halloween month, so let’s get cursed! 🔥 Season 2 launches on Thursday 8th October 🔥 Season 1 will now end as Season 2 begins and we’re going to DOUBLE fame points during this time! 👀 pic.twitter.com/J9TFIZ1BDd — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) October 2, 2020 In addition to a brand new piece of artwork from the upcoming season, developer Mediatonic also officially announced that Season 2 of Fall Guys will be dropping in less than a week, on October 8 – which is two days after what fans previously expected based on the in-game Season 1 end date. In addition, the developers also confirmed that Season 1 will be officially extended in order to correlate with the new date, giving fans an extra two days to earn some fame points, the game’s version of XP. Speaking of XP, the developer confirmed that they will be enabling double fame points starting on October 5 in order to help fans put in one last grind. In a recent Reddit post, Joe Walsh from Mediatonic confirmed that fans won’t be able to earn Season 1 rewards after it’s over, at least for a while that is, so this a great opportunity to finish up that content stream. All in all, it’ll be interesting to see just how much content the developer adds to the game during the update. Here’s hoping we learn more about it soon, including how levels and costumes it is adding, in addition to the official patch notes.

  • Fall Guys Season 2 officially revealed: wizard costumes, new levels, and more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys Season 2 officially revealed: wizard costumes, new levels, and more Mediatonic[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] During Geoff Keighley’s Gamescom Opening Night livestream, Season 2 of Fall Guys was officially unveiled and it’s bringing a whole new theme with it. Fall Guys’ success is pretty unprecedented. The game has skyrocketed in popularity since the game held its beta over the summer and has even garnered the attention of major streamers like TimTheTatman, Ninja, and more. Mediatonic is so confident in the success of its game, that the developer decided to announce Season 2 of its post-launch content before Season 1 has even finished. That’s something not even huge games like Fortnite or Warzone do. According to the sneak peek, Fall Guys Season 2 will be medieval-themed. Players will be able to dress their bean up as knights, wizards, dragons, and witches, while completing a ton of new levels. Overall, it seems like there’s going to be around five new levels added to the game during the duration of S2 – at least according to the sneak peek trailer. Some seem to be variations on current levels like Hoopsie Daisy and Egg Scramble, while others seem to be totally new and original ideas. One of the new levels featured in the trailer tasks players with moving large blocks in order to successfully climb over walls, while another one seemed to be an incredibly intense obstacle course. Currently, none of the levels are named. Unfortunately, players will have to wait a little while longer for Season 2, as it’s set to launch sometime in 2020. Of course, this means that if you haven’t leveled up your current battle pass, you still have time. All in all, while Mediatonic didn’t show off an extensive amount of content with the sneak peek, it does look pretty promising and will more than likely keep fans entertained for a while. More details about the season will be announced as we get closer to its release date, so keep it locked to Dexerto for more information as it becomes available.

  • Fall Guys responds to demands for release on mobile & other platforms – Dexerto

    Fall Guys responds to demands for release on mobile & other platforms Mediatonic/Devolver DigitalSuper-popular obstacle course battle royale game, Fall Guys, is currently only available on PlayStation 4 and PC, but fans want to see that change and developer Mediatonics has finally commented on the topic. Ever since it’s release in early August, fans have been in love with Fall Guys and it’s easy to see why. The game brings an interesting and unique twist to the battle royale genre by placing 60 players in obstacle courses and seeing who survives. Unfortunately, the game is only available on two platforms right now: PS4 and PC. This means that, unless you have one or both, you’re out of luck if you wanted to try your hand at the game. That restriction, however, might not be lasting long. According to a new post on the game’s official support page, developer Mediatonic confirmed that it’s open to bringing the game to other platforms in the future and that they would “love” to do it, which is news that is sure to excite some fans. The developer said that it wants to hear suggestions about which platforms to bring the game to next on its official Discord server, which can be joined by clicking here. “To start with, Fall Guys will only be available on PS4 and Steam,” Mediatonic responded when asked about Fall Guys potentially releasing elsewhere. “We’d love to bring the game to other platforms further down the line. Please let us know on Twitter and Discord which platforms you’d like us to release on next – we’d love to see how much demand there is! Unfortunately, that statement makes it seem like there aren’t any definitive plans in the works currently to bring the game to other platforms, even if those plans may materialize “down the line.” On August 11, there was evidence found in the game’s backend files that suggested a potential mobile release, however, it was only a small mention and there was nothing else at all about the game coming to Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or next-gen consoles. That said, it would be smart on Mediatonic’s part to roll out Fall Guys on other platforms; the game has been massively popular and has become one of the top-streamed titles on Twitch daily and allowing more people to get their hands on the game will only help increase that success.

  • Fall Guys Spicy Update rolls out early: Everything that’s changed – Dexerto

    Fall Guys Spicy Update rolls out early: Everything that’s changed MeditonicFall Guys have rolled out a brand new Spicy Update, making a whole bunch of changes to the popular game, and we’ve got the patch notes. There is one thing missing, though. As the game continues to surge in popularity, fans have been wanting more and more content. This includes new levels – which the devs have already promised – as well as new cosmetics and even some new features. Though, before they roll out any major updates, Mediatonic have been dropping smaller updates to rectify nagging bugs and glitches. There’s a lot to look at with the new update as well, so let’s jump right into the changes. Fall Guys Spicy Update patch notes If it was patch notes you wanted, you’re in the right place.

Unfortunately, one fix (Spectating team mates first) has been pushed back into the next update, as it wasn’t quite ready yet, but we didn’t want to delay this whole patch!

Though, overall, the patch does look as spicy as it can be for now.

  • Fall Guys race mini-game guide: Fall Mountain, See Saw, Door Dash, more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys race mini-game guide: Fall Mountain, See Saw, Door Dash, more Mediatonic[jwplayer g3AYlLvE]Fall Guys often rewards the quickest players in a lobby and with 10 racing mini-games available, it pays to be speedy. If you’re struggling to keep up, fear not, we’ve got you covered with a complete rundown on every race mini-game to help you capture the crown. While a great deal of success in Fall Guys can be attributed to luck, the game certainly favors those that drop in with game plans in mind. From timing to teamwork, the charming battle royale will test your skills. Though perhaps the most essential skill is footwork. Being fast on your feet can help you advance through the rounds as 10 mini-games are based around reaching the finish line first. If you fall behind early, it can be near impossible to catch up. Thankfully, there are few ways to get an advantage and we’re here to go through them one-by-one. Whether you’re struggling with the See Saw mini-game, or just want advice on how to avoid being hit in Fruit Chute, we’ve got you covered. Fall Guys Door Dash Guide Right out of the gate we’ve got Door Dash as one of the simplest mini-games in Fall Guys. All you need to do is crash through a few doors and leap towards the finish line. However, if you bump into the wrong doors, it could spell doom for your entire run as only certain barriers are breakable. It can be demoralizing diving face-first into a door, only to drop straight to the ground below. So a great tactic in this mode is to try and keep with the pack. The first few blockades will have multiple openings. So long as you stick near the majority, you’ll be able to rush through this section without much difficulty. Read more: 5 big features Fall Guys could add next – If you find yourself ahead of the pack, try to stick to a single guess before playing it safe and letting others break through. Jamming into multiple ‘fake’ doors can put you far behind the leaders. Once you close in on the final row, it’s going to be a tight squeeze. Try to force your way through at all costs, whether it’s jumping, diving, or just sprinting full steam ahead. Fall Guys Dizzy Heights Guide Next up is Dizzy Heights, a mini-game that’ll be spinning you right round all the way through to the end. This mode features a typical race where almost every obstacle is a rotating platform. As a result, it’s always best to go with the momentum of the ground you’re on. Instead of trying to push against the rotation, let your current spin guide you to the next surface. The middle section of this mini-game tries to stunt your momentum as balls come crashing down. While it’s obviously best to try and avoid these, they’re not actually as damaging as you might think. Often times, it can be quicker to stay on the path ahead, rather than turning and trying to get out of the way. You’ll only be knocked down for a split second before you’re back on your way. Fall Guys Gate Crash Guide Gate Crash is all about being in the right place at the right time. As you push through the map, barriers will come up and go down at regular intervals to try and stop your progress. It’s key that you keep a close eye on the path ahead and try to time your pathing accordingly. Each set of barriers is on a fairly predictable timer, so as you come close, it should be a simple decision choosing to push left or right. Every now and then something might get in your way, be it other players or other obstacles. If this happens and your momentum is lost, it can often be better to sit and wait in front of the door that’s currently up. It should come down in a short moment so you can continue forward. Read More: How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage – The final portion of Gate Crash is where most players will lose out on qualifying. A single failure at jumping over the gap could leave an opening for competitors to get ahead. What you should do here is sit patiently at the top of the ramp for a few seconds. Keep an eye on the three rotating barriers down below and time your slide perfectly after taking it all in. Fall Guys Tip Toe Guide Tip Toe is one of the more unique races in Fall Guys as you’ll more often than not want to take it slow. It’s a game of trial and error as all players work in unison to illuminate a safe path on the ground. If you step onto a faulty tile, it’ll respawn you right back at the beginning. Taking your time and letting others figure out the path is a fairly common tactic, especially as you close to the end. Enemies will look to grab you and bump you towards the next tiles so that they can avoid being eliminated. As a result, it’s wise to try and sit in the middle of the pack if you’re going for this approach. Sometimes other players aren’t looking to take risks at all, however. This is where you can shine and get lucky. Unless there are only two or three tiles to go, simply rushing forward is a genuinely good strategy in the early phases. You can even jump and dive to skip over rows in order to reach the finish line. Fall Guys Fruit Chute Guide There might not be a more luck-based mini-game in all of Fall Guys than Fruit Chute. On paper, it’s extremely simple: Walk forward and dodge falling fruit until you hit the end. It’s the way in which this fruit drops onto the map that can completely ruin your run. There’s no real predicting patterns or timing your movement on this one. The exact same path could lead to a million different outcomes depending on how the fruit crashes into the map. Try not to put too much stock into getting ahead early. So long as you’re able to keep a steady pace and avoid falling backward off the map, you should be cruising through to the finish line. Be sure to watch for shadows on the ground as you get closer to the top, however. If you spot them early, you can quickly pivot to avoid losing your momentum near the very end. Fall Guys Hit Parade Guide Hit Parade is one of the more standard obstacle courses in Fall Guys and is split into four sections. The first is a balancing beam where those with good footing will have a slight lead over those that fall off. The second is a rotating door section that can quickly devolve into a mess. Try to stick with the pack and force openings together. Next up is the pendulum section and this is where you can make or break a run. Instead of trying to blitz through as soon as possible, take your time here. Carefully push forward and plan your movements to avoid the swinging balls. If you’ve made it through without being knocked off, it’s smooth sailing to the end. The final section is a small, slimy hill with beams constantly trying to offset your character. Sticking to the far left or the far right is often a great way to avoid big groups in this phase. Fall Guys See Saw Guide The See Saw mini-game in Fall Guys can be quite frustrating if you don’t get an early lead. You’ll need players working together in order to keep each seesaw balanced, otherwise, everyone will be falling off the map. It’s best to try to and get out ahead early to avoid issues. Taking a lead will allow you to quickly jump from platform to platform without dozens of others weighing down the same side and throwing you off the map. If you can’t take this early lead, however, your best bet is once again, to play patiently. Don’t force yourself onto a seesaw that’s already near-vertical. Wait for it to balance out before jumping on. One great trick for this mode in particular is that diving can be a huge benefit. Even if your platform is about to tip, you can still dive off and make it to the next checkpoint. Fall Guys Slime Climb Guide Slime Climb has quickly become notorious for being one of the most difficult race mini-games in Fall Guys. It features a wide array of unique obstacles and if you’re not quick enough, there are no second chances here. Slime is constantly rising on the map and if you fall in, it’s game over. There’s no playing patiently here, you’ll need to get out ahead as soon as possible. Keep an eye out as you push through the map for unique shortcuts. From jumping up ledges to climbing on the rotating hammers near the top, there’s a surprising number of shortcuts in Slime Climb. Do your best to keep your distance from other players when possible. Even the slightest bump could knock you over and send you plummeting down a few layers to the slime below. Fall Guys The Whirlygig Guide The Whirlygig will test your timing like no other race mini-game in Fall Guys. Instead of climbing obstacles, your goal here is to finely push through a simple course without being hit. Rotating beams will knock your well of course if you’re not paying attention in this mode, so keep your eyes peeled at all times. While the latter stages will require you to jump over these beams or risk falling off the map, they can surprisingly be used to your advantage early on. In the opening section, a great tactic is to simply let the beam hit you and boost you through further ahead. This is considerably faster than the ordinary walking pace in Fall Guys. Once you pass through towards the final section, a choice has to be made. Is it better to risk it all and attempt the middle path with the dangerous fan? Or is it better to play it safe and take the slower approach around the sides? This decision ultimately comes down to where you are in the race. If you’re ahead of the pack, take the risk. You’ll always respawn in the blink of an eye. However, if you’re needing to make up some room, go the safe route to ensure you make it to the end. Fall Guys Fall Mountain Guide Last but not least, Fall Mountain is the final race mini-game that can stand between you and your next crown. If you’ve made it this far, chances are you’ve already won a few racing modes and are familiar with many of the game’s obstacles. From rotating hammers to the giant balls, many aspects of this level are copied from others. Similar to the Fruit Chute mini-game, it can often come down to luck on Fall Mountain. Depending on where you spawn, where the balls spawn, and so on. You’ll likely need a flawless run without being knocked down to make it to the summit first. Remember to grab the crown at the very top of the map. The most common mistake is players jumping into the crown and falling down to the ground below. A simple tap of the button, and victory can be yours.

  • Fall Guys removed Jump Showdown level after unfair exploit discovered – Dexerto

    Fall Guys removed Jump Showdown level after unfair exploit discovered Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer g3AYlLvE] Fall Guys’ first new level since the game was released, Jump Showdown, has been removed from the game after a hilarious but unfair exploit was discovered, allowing players an easy win. Fall Guys hasn’t gotten much new content since its original release; the game originally came out back in early August 2020 and since then it’s only received one new level and a few bug fixes. The level that was added to the game, Jump Showdown, was pretty well received, with some people comparing it to a “final” version of Jump Club. Players have to avoid a spinning bar as well as a collapsing floor in order to win the match and the entire game. Unfortunately, lead designer Joe Walsh has confirmed on Reddit that the level has been temporarily removed after a major unfair exploit was discovered with it, which resulted in some people winning basically without having to play the game. The exploit itself is simple: when the “floor” on the level that drops out from underneath players is down to its last two pieces, it stops dismantling and if players are able to time a jump correctly, they can hang off the side of the last two sections, essentially guaranteeing they won’t be hit by the pole and, in essence, their victory. Read more: 5 big features Fall Guys could add next – While it’s unknown just how many people took advantage of this issue, a clip of the exploit did go a bit viral on Twitter, with the video gaining over 100,000 views on the platform. Currently, it’s unknown when the issue will be fixed. Given the fact that it’s not technically a bug and more of an exploit, it’ll be interesting to see how Mediatonic resolves it. Could they add a timer on how long you can hold onto, as some players have suggested? Or they could just simply make those ledges “ungrabbable”. Whatever the solution is, hopefully, it won’t take too long to be added to the game so that players can get back to playing this fun new level.

  • Fall Guys makes major account change in fight against cheaters – Dexerto

    Fall Guys makes major account change in fight against cheaters MediatonicMediatonic, the developers behind Fall Guys, have made a big change to accounts that should help in their ongoing fight against cheaters and hackers. Since releasing in August, Mediatonic’s Fall Guys has become the talk of the gaming world with PS4 and PC players flocking to the TV-show themed battle royale in the hopes of winning a Crown. While the majority of players keep on the straight and narrow, hoping to win a game without any help, there are plenty of players who have already started cheating – using speed boosts, invisible walls, and much more to wreak havoc in games. For Mediatonic, it is an ongoing battle to stop cheaters from ruining the game as a whole and they’ve now made a big change to accounts that should help immensely in their fight against cheats and hacks. On August 25, the devs noted that they’d discovered some cheaters using a loophole to get around bans by making new Steam accounts and then being able to share the purchase of the game with said new account. “We’ve unfortunately had to disable that for now,” the devs posted, before adding that the temporary removal of the option should “massively help with the cheating issues though.” It means that anybody who has had Fall Guys shared to them through the Family-Sharing option will not be able to play while the option is disabled unless they use the account which made the purchase in the first place. We discovered cheaters were using Family-Sharing to get around our banning system on Steam by creating new accounts and sharing with themselves, so we’ve unfortunately had to disable that for now. It should massively help with the cheating issues though! — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 25, 2020 Obviously, this is going to hamper some players in the meantime who have used the option to share Fall Guys with family and friends, but if it helps in the fight against cheating, it should be worthwhile in the end. The devs have also revealed that they’re working on a few other measures to deal with cheaters so, who knows, family-sharing could return soon enough.

  • Fall Guys May 16 announcement: PS5, Xbox & Switch, free-to-play, course builder – Dexerto

Fall Guys is coming to even more platforms on June 21 that will make it available on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and the Epic Games Store. While this means the title will come off of the Steam marketplace, the devs are going to make up for lost ground in big ways. From giving players more ways to connect with friends to adding customizable levels, the next chapter of Fall Guys will make sweeping changes to the game. Fall Guys cross-play update Mediatonic is opening up the Fall Guys servers for everyone, regardless of the platform they’re on, with full cross-play and cross-progression. This means that players on Xbox will be able to group with PlayStation fans while competing against PC gamers – all by using their Epic Games account. Players who own multiple copies of the game will also be able to retain their progress across all devices. For PlayStion 4 players, there’s an update out now that is needed to continue playing Fall Guys. Is Fall Guys Free?

For people who already purchased Fall Guys, they’ll be able to claim a free Legacy Pack that comes with a nameplate, a few skins, and a Season Pass for the debut soft relaunch for the game. Fall Guys Course Builder Mediatonic teased an all-new Fall Guys course builder that will give players hundreds of customization options to create their own levels. From blimps to obstacles and even moving platforms, Fall Guys fans will be able to cook up their dream course to trip up their friends. Though the level designer is still in the works, the devs are aiming to push the mode as soon as possible for players to start cooking up devilish maps. There’s a ton coming to Fall Guys Season 1 when the June 21 update drops that the devs hope will reignite the bean craze that hasn’t been seen since the game was released back in 2020.

  • Fall Guys latest leaks: mobile release, loot, upcoming challenges, more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys latest leaks: mobile release, loot, upcoming challenges, more MediatonicThere are a bunch of new leaks for Fall Guys that are shedding light on upcoming features, challenges, and possible iOS and Android ports for the famed free-for-all party game. The Fall Guys craze has consumed millions of players around the world since its debut, and the devs at Mediatonic as well as Devolver Digital have been hard at work to give their audience even more content to trip over. Now, people are finding evidence of these upcoming changes in the backend files for the title, which can at least give people an idea for what the studios have planned for their break-out hit. Fall Guys iOS and Android One of the biggest leaks to come out of the game so far are “placeholders” found in the files that suggest the devs will be bringing Fall Guys to iOS and Android. Prominent dataminer ‘Hypex’ thinks Devolver Digital could be planning a mobile release based on what they were able to scrounge up thus far. https://twitter.com/HypexFG/status/1293288097250185217 A mobile port of the game would be a natural next step for the new release. Everything from the gameplay, graphics, and mechanics could be streamlined to fit the capabilities of most phones. Challenges There was a bevy of Challenges found in the Fall Guys datamine that will be giving players a ton of chances to earn thousands of Kudos when they come to the game. So far there are six challenges listed that give out 1000 Kudos apiece. While most are menial, there are some like ‘Stay in air for 20 seconds’ which could evade some people. The leaked challenges for August 11 are: Stay in air for 20 seconds – 1000 Kudos – Qualify 10 rounds – 1000 Kudos – Finish at least 10 round 3 – 1000 Kudos – Finish Round 3, 5 times – 1000 Kudos – Hold an Egg for 10 seconds – 1000 Kudos – Earn 50 score – 1000 Kudos – Loot and Emotes They also found hints to ‘loot’ that could be coming in a future update. According to Hypex, “there’s a Loot Table & Loot Table Collection” in the files, which could be a way for players to earn customizable in-game items or the like. The dataminer also found a ton of emotes ranging from Common, Uncommon, Rare, Epic, and Legendary, in that increasing order of value. https://twitter.com/HypexFG/status/1293305041978351616 Leaked emotes so far: Funky Chicken – Common – No price – Friendly Wave – Common – No price – Neener – Common – No price – Thumbs Up – Common – No price – Coo-ey! – Uncommon – No price – Pirate Jig – Uncommon – 5000 Kudos – Mexican Wave – Uncommon – 5000 Kudos – Applause – Uncommon – 5000 Kudos – The Robot – Uncommon – No price – Z-Snap – Rare – 6500 Kudos – Slow Clap – Epic – 3 Crowns – Patty Cake – Epic – 3 Crowns – Raging – Epic – 3 Crowns – Beefy – Legendary – 5 Crowns – Skins Though there’s been a ton of companies sending in concepts for the Fall Guys dev to make into an official jelly bean, nothing has materialized just yet. That could change since there’s an image of an unreleased Fall Guys skin that portrays Scout from Team Fortress 2. https://twitter.com/HypexFG/status/1293315591730876429 As the game progresses and the devs create new updates for Fall Guys, there’s bound to be more news regarding future inclusions in the jelly-bean battle royale.

  • Fall Guys laughs off “dead game” claims as 50 million players drop in – Dexerto

    Fall Guys laughs off “dead game” claims as 50 million players drop in MediatronicFall Guys has been thriving since going free-to-play, showing that this “dead game” has been resurrected. Although it was a massive hit when it was first released, obstacle course/battle royale Fall Guys took a hit to its player count in the months after the cultural impact began to fade. As a result, Fall Guys began to earn the dreaded “dead game” moniker. Recently, in an attempt to re-inject life into their game, developer Mediatronic announced that Fall Guys would not only be coming to the Nintendo Switch, but it would also become free-to-play. The free-to-play switch went live just two weeks ago. But it seems that the move is already paying dividends. Fall Guys thrives after free-to-play change In a tweet sent out on July 6, the official Fall Guys Twitter account proclaimed that in the two weeks since becoming free to play and coming to the Nintendo Switch, the game has had over 50 million players. The post thanks all the new players for joining the game with a picture of the earth that appears to be made up of the millions of beans that have joined the battle royale. We’re in absolute disbelief… 50 million players in 2 weeks!!! U N B E L I E V A B L E THANKS EVERYONE! 🌍️ pic.twitter.com/YU7aNzUBOT — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) July 6, 2022 Nintendo, the newest partner for Fall Guys, also offered their congratulations on the landmark. No doubt, the addition of Fall Guys to this popular console helped boost the player count along with the new free-to-play model. The fact that Fall Guys got such a massive surge in players two years after the game was initially released shows the power of the free-to-play model. Even though Mediatronics is no longer gaining revenue from new players, the Season Pass and purchasable cosmetics may make up that difference. One thing is for sure, though. With 50 million players, even though they’re not paying customers, Fall Guys can no longer be called a “dead game”.

  • Fall Guys is finally coming to mobile but only in China – Dexerto

    Fall Guys is finally coming to mobile but only in China MediatonicFall Guys: Ultimate Knockout is coming to mobile devices in China, as entertainment giant Bilibili has acquired the rights to bring the bubbly battle royale to the massive player base. Senior Analyst at Niko Partners, Daniel ‘ZhugeEX’ Ahmad, shared the trailer that ushered in the news, featuring Bilibili along with Fall Guys developers Mediatonic and publisher Devolver Digital. Porting a game over to China can be a major milestone for devs to accomplish. Even though every title needs to be approved by the region before being published, doing so opens the doors to the biggest gaming communities in the world. The new title has already been getting a ton of traction early on. After it’s August 4 release via PlayStation Plus and Steam, millions have hopped on just to fall down in the ultimate knockout arena. Now the vast market in China will be getting the same chance to try out Fall Guys soon with the game being ported off to mobile. That will open the door for the game to be experienced by China’s 635 million gamers, per data from a 2019 Niko Partners analysis. As noted by ZhugeEx, the Chinese port of the popular battle royale didn’t seem to have a trace of news for a mobile version to any other region. It’s been a bizarre timeline for the incarnation of Fall Guys’ mobile version. Weeks after its initial release, the FG team issued a word of warning about fake YouTube ads claiming a mobile port was on the way. “If you see any ads for a mobile version they are scams,” the FG Twitter wrote. That statement seemingly shut the door on possible mobile iterations for the game, until Bilibili’s announcement. https://twitter.com/ZhugeEX/status/1297205586350747648 Now there’s renewed hope for players in the West. While the mobile market in China is enormous, a port under construction overseas could mean that the developers are looking to do the same elsewhere. There are still players hoping that a Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, or mobile release for the game is in the cards for the near future. Even though there hasn’t been any indication from the devs so far, Fall Guys has already been a huge hit on its limited platforms, so any more versions would surely be welcomed by the gaming community.

  • Fall Guys giving players in-game rewards for server issues – Dexerto

    Fall Guys giving players in-game rewards for server issues Devolver DigitalAfter players experienced some unexpected problems with the Fall Guy servers, the developers have confirmed that users will be issuing rewards for their troubles soon. Server issues are nothing new for games, especially for ones as popular or new as Fall Guys. Some get overloaded all the time and, many times, the developers, no matter how big or small, can’t do much in order to fix it. Fall Guys has notoriously had a rough launch when it comes to these problems. While the game is being received magnificently when it comes to the raw gameplay, everyone agrees that the server problems are very annoying. As an apology for the server downtime on Friday, developer Mediatonics confirmed that it will be distributing some sort of in-game reward to players in the near future. Given how bad the servers are on certain days, this is quite a welcome announcement. We’re super grateful for your patience, and we can’t thank you enough for supporting us through these launch issues. Once everything is back online, we’ll be working on extra rewards for you all to show our appreciation. ? We will post news here as soon as its available! — Fall Guys ? (@FallGuysGame) August 8, 2020 As for the reward itself, Mediatonic confirmed that players will be receiving a free Legendary cactus-themed costume called Prickles, as well as 5,000 Kudos (the in-game currency found in Fall Guys). In order to receive the free gift, all players have to do is open the game before the end of the day on August 13, 2020. If you do, both the costume and the Kudos will appear in your account automatically. It’s nice to see the developers acknowledge the server problems in such a direct way. While the studio has proven that it’s aware of the problems in the past, having them promise rewards is another thing entirely, so here’s hoping the servers get fixed soon!

  • Fall Guys is actually ready to go on Xbox One – Dexerto

    Fall Guys is actually ready to go on Xbox One Mediatonic / MicrosoftThousands of players have been asking when Fall Guys will be coming out on Xbox One and a big clue has been discovered that could point to a release date coming soon. The game’s developers, Mediatonic, have kept their cards very close to their chest about a future release on Xbox, Nintendo Switch, and mobile. Some fake YouTube videos have been luring hopefuls in, only for them to find out that no version exists for any of those platforms. As of September 2020, the game is only available on PlayStation 4 and PC. It has even become the most downloaded game in the history of PlayStation Plus, which shows the level of hype surrounding the title. Season 2’s sneak peek at Gamescom left the fanbase chomping at the bit to get their hands on the next patch, and to watch streamers jump into the action once again. If you’re on Xbox, though, things haven’t been as rosey. They haven’t been able to play it yet. Fall Guys coming to Xbox One? Well, things could be all about to change. Twitter user thetiny has discovered that the game, in its current state, is actually ready to go on Xbox One platform. This is something that many developers do before release, preparing it for potential builds it may release on in the future. While it might not be a clear indicator about an imminent release, it’s certainly a good sign for all of those players crossing their fingers. After all, the game is a fun experience no matter how you slice it. Fall Guys’ current build supports Xbox One 🤔 pic.twitter.com/R5mEktBqYG — thethiny 🐰🍉 (@thethiny) August 28, 2020 As seen above, it clearly states in a line of code ‘GetXboxOneUserIDFromUnityJoystick,’ which is the closest thing we have seen yet in terms of clues. Developers have not yet hinted towards a release on Microsoft’s flagship console just yet, although this does bode well for those waiting. It might not be a case of when, rather than if, and many fans will take that. At least the doors aren’t completely shut just yet.

  • Fall Guys devs respond to increasing Kudos scams on Steam & PS4 – Dexerto

    Fall Guys devs respond to increasing Kudos scams on Steam & PS4 Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer KgEHMxKl] Fall Guys developer Mediatonic has responded to an increasing number of Kudos scams, which aim to steal the information of players on PS4 and Steam. Scams are nothing new for video games. Ever since online gaming became more mainstream during the early 2010’s, there’s been a growing number of scams that attempt to sell players on free in-game currency. These scams have become such a problem for these popular games that even Fortnite developer Epic Games has created specific loading screens for the game warning players not to fall for them. The latest game to be affected by these scams is Fall Guys. The extremely popular battle royale game has been plagued by scams ever since the first few weeks of its launch, with companies promising free Kudos (the in-game currency) in a variety of different ways. Now, developer Mediatonic has responded to these scams, advising players not to participate in them or anything that may look like a scam. While there are a number of different scams that pop up if you search for them, including free ‘Kudos Generators’, the developers specifically warned people about sites asking players to input their Steam and/or PSN details. There’s a scam website that claims to give you Fall Guys Kudos if you sign in with your Steam or PlayStation account details… 1) No website is able to do that 2) They’re stealing your password and account 3) Never type your Steam/PS passwords into random websites— Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 14, 2020 “They’re stealing your password and account,” the Fall Guys Twitter account said. “Never type your Steam/PS passwords into a random website.” Unlike cheating, there’s no real way to stop these companies other than by lawsuit and even then, other companies would just pop up and replace them. Because of this, unless a real solution is found, these scams will persist. That being said, it’s nice to see the developers looking out for their players. No matter how obvious or inconspicuous the scam is, there’s no worse feeling than realizing your information is compromised. Hopefully as time goes on we start seeing less and less of these scams but the outlook isn’t fantastic.

  • DrLupo unveils new Fall Guys x Portal 2 skin and it’s amazing – Dexerto

    DrLupo unveils new Fall Guys x Portal 2 skin and it’s amazing MediatonicFall Guys developers at Mediatonic decided to give back to the community in a unique way by handing out a new skin to the world’s best player. The only issue being, no one seems to be able to find them. Fall Guys has rapidly shot into the spotlight as one of the 2020s most talked-about video games. With millions of players jumping and diving into the action in the first few weeks, the charming battle royale has garnered a great deal of attention. From Mr Beast’s $20,000 challenge, to TimTheTatMan’s meme-fuelled pursuit of glory, the growing community has had plenty to engage with early on. That trend has continued forward as the developers have now set players around the world on one common goal. Find the best of the best. Read more: 5 big features Fall Guys could add next – On August 20, 2020, Mediatonic confirmed that it had given an upcoming skin to “statistically” the top Fall Guys player in the world a couple of days early, but at the time, the developer didn’t know who that was. Now, that player has been revealed as none other than Twitch streamer DrLupo. HAHAHAHHAHAHA ITS LITERALLY @DrLupo HAHAHA HE IS FREAKING OUT LOL I AM FREAKING OUT WE ARE ALL FREAKING OUT LOLhttps://t.co/MFqTK2xTwH — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) August 21, 2020 The item itself is actually quite cool, as it’s a skin based on the character P-body from the Portal franchise. According to some recent leaks, this isn’t the only Portal skin in the game, as there’s also one based on the main character of the franchise, Chell. For those that don’t know, the mega-popular battle royale title features an ever-rotating selection of items through the in-game store. Whether it’s victory animations, taunts, or new skins, there’s always plenty to buy. These cosmetics rotate every few days with a handful of more expensive items set to a weekly rotation instead. https://twitter.com/DrLupo/status/1296807629163884544 Ahead of the next weekly store update, one of the upcoming skins has been dropped into the game early. Instead of it leaking in the August 20 patch notes, or accidentally going live early, this was an intentional move from the developers. Well… one Mediatonic employee in particular. “I’ve gone rogue and done a meme,” the Fall Guys social media manager shared on the game’s account. “I’ve found the player who is statistically the best. I’ve just given them Saturday’s costume early.” This means that DrLupo, out of the millions that login daily, has access to a currently one-of-a-kind item. This, of course, isn’t the first crossover featured in Fall Guys. The battle royale game has also featured limited-time crossovers with Hotline Miami, Enter The Gungeon, and Team Fortress 2. Hopefully, Mediatonic doesn’t stop with these crossovers going forward and, given this new skin, it doesn’t seem like they are.

  • Fall Guys devs create a “Cheater Island” to punish pesky hackers – Dexerto

    Fall Guys devs create a “Cheater Island” to punish pesky hackers MediatonicMediatonic has been trying to reduce the number of cheaters in Fall Guys ever since it was released, and their most unique method yet put dozens of in-game criminals onto their own island. Even though Fall Guys is one of the simplest battle royale games on the market, it’s still overrun with cheaters. Players will use speed boosts to rush ahead of the competition, enable flight mode to zoom towards the crown, and plenty more. It’s been an issue since the game released on August 4, despite the developer’s best attempts to slow it down. From disabling the ability to account share, to expanding the detection system, they’ve tried to pull cheaters from the game in a number of ways. However, the developers just shared their most surprising tactic to date. Instead of banning accounts, issuing suspensions, or taking away crowns, cheaters have been allowed to stay in Fall Guys. What they might not realize though, is that they’ve secretly been playing against other cheaters all along. I’ve got lots of spicy content for you this week – The Dev team have been super busy on the new update 👀 For now… BUCKLE UP Let me tell you a wild story It’s called The RISE and FALL of Cheater Island Tagging @Netflix incase they want to make a film or series out of it — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 14, 2020 Early into the game’s release, Mediatonic launched a new playlist behind the scenes. It wasn’t a visible playlist with new minigames or features. Rather, it was a secret playlist called ‘Cheater Island.’ “It was a magical place where cheaters could happily compete against themselves for the Cheater’s Crown,” the devs explained. If you were flagged by the cheat-detection system, the “next time you tried to matchmake, you would only be able to matchmake with other cheaters.” Essentially, all cheaters were lumped into their own separate version of Fall Guys where they could only go up against one another. Unfortunately, this new world just for cheaters came with its own set of issues. Mediatonic needed to detect enough cheaters in a given region to actually start up a match on Cheater Island. “If there weren’t enough cheaters, you’d all just be falling forever,” they added. Once enough problematic players were flagged, the island was finally populated and cheat-filled games kicked off. A few example videos were shared as all players dashed from the starting line to the crown in the blink of an eye. It seems as though these cheaters can earn all the crowns they like, but they won’t be able to steal the glory from genuine players anytime soon. Somebody actually uploaded this video to Reddit with the title: “”Ever played a round of Fall Mountain where all the players are cheating?”” The problem is… this LOOKS like Cheater Island but we can’t be 100% sure pic.twitter.com/byJi6r0Ykc — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 14, 2020 Ultimately, the island lasted a few weeks but was ultimately shut down by the developers. Instead of dropping everyone on their own island, cheaters are simply unable to log back into the game moving forward. “Our cheat detection system was good, but we hadn’t expected so many players. We had no idea the lengths that some players would go to cheat.” While Cheater Island might be closed, it’s no cause to be alarmed. Cheaters are still being dealt with in different ways. In fact, Mediatonic will be adding Epic’s Anti-Cheat in the next major update, a big step in their fight against cheaters.

  • Fall Guys devs reply to game-breaking Fall Mountain crown bug – Dexerto

    Fall Guys devs reply to game-breaking Fall Mountain crown bug Mediatonic/Devolver Digital[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] Yet another bug has been discovered in Fall Guys on the “finale” level, Fall Mountain, and just like the one before it, it’s causing some players not to win – even though they should. Bugs and issues in Fall Guys are nothing new. Ever since the game was released, fans have been discovering a few different problems with the game, most of which are small. While its completely unfair to say that the game is riddled with bugs, it’s also unfair to say that they aren’t a problem. The most frustrating part about these bugs is the fact that, because Fall Guys is a battle royale game, it can cause players to not win a match even when they deserve to. One of the more frustrating and infamous bugs is one that caused Fall Mountain players to grab and climb onto the crown at the end of the level, stopping them from winning. Now, another bug has been discovered with Fall Mountain – and its just as frustrating. According to Mediatonic Lead Game Designer Joe Walsh, this new bug hadn’t been seen by the developers up until this point, and has been sent over to the development team to get fixed. The bug itself is similar to the previous one. Players attempt to jump and grab onto the crown, only to find themselves grabbing it as if it were another player. It doesn’t seem to be a bugged crown either, as other players are able to grab it with no problem. Unfortunately, as of the time of this writing, there doesn’t seem to be a timeline as to when the developers will fix this problem. That being said, the developer seems to be doing a relatively good job pushing out patches for the game, with two already released in less than a month’s time, so hopefully it won’t be too long before this problem is resolved.

  • Fall Guys devs confirm major anti-cheat changes coming soon – Dexerto

    Fall Guys devs confirm major anti-cheat changes coming soon Mediatonic[jwplayer KgEHMxKl]The Fall Guys devs have confirmed that they’re working on more anti-cheat measures that should release in the near future as their fight with hackers continues to rumble on. After releasing back in early August, Fall Guys has taken over the gaming world as players on both PC and PS4 have tried their hand at winning a crown or two. While the party game style battle royale has been a huge success, and the devs have continued to roll out new content, they do have a huge cheating problem. Hackers have been able to fly to the end of levels within seconds of it starting and even create invisible walls around themselves so anyone close by falls down. The devs have rolled out some anti-cheat measures before, but as the cheaters have continued to ruin games, they’re stepping their fight up yet again. On September 6, the FallGuysGame Twitter account issued another apology to players over the cheating problem in-game, noting that they’re making changes very soon. “We’re really sorry about the cheating problem!” their post begun. “We’re expanding the current detection system this week to improve things.” On top of the changes to the detection system, there is also going to be a pretty major update to the anti-cheat software. “We also have a BIG update in the next couple of weeks that adds the same anti-cheat used by games such as Fortnite. Thanks for bearing with us!” the devs concluded. We’re really sorry about the cheating problem! We’re expanding the current detection system this week to improve things We also have a BIG update in the next couple of weeks that adds the same anti-cheat used by games such as Fortnite Thanks for bearing with us! [Not BeanBot] — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 6, 2020 While changes to the anti-cheat systems will certainly be welcomed by players, it is difficult for the devs to completely stamp out cheaters because they always seem to find a way to ruin the fun. Given that they said the update will come in the “next couple of weeks” and there is no specific date, players will just have to keep an eye on things.

  • Fall Guys dev shows the insides of characters and they’re terrifying – Dexerto

    Fall Guys dev shows the insides of characters and they’re terrifying Devolver Digital[jwplayer xrczq6Qh] The developers of Fall Guys have shared an interesting take on what the inside of the characters look like from one of the designers of the game and it’s even more terrifying than you could have imagined. Fall Guys has a bit of an interesting design, to say the least. If you asked most people they would probably describe the game as bright, colorful, and joyful. The game even has little, chubby, bean-like people as the playable characters running through each and every course. Apparently, however, these fat little beans are holding a much more terrifying, darker secret. Players have never gotten a glimpse at the insides of these characters before and apparently that’s for good reason. Until now, that is. A Fall Guy senior concept artist has revealed art for the designs for what each and every character looks like on the inside and it’s one of the most terrifying things you can imagine. While the inside sort of looks like a normal human skeleton there are a couple of things that differentiate it. Everything looks crooked and bent in strange ways. The legs look like a bird’s legs, the hands themselves are huge, and the eyes… Oh god, the eyes are the worst part: Well, you asked for it… This is official lore now Remember: • Human shown for scale • Fall Guys are 183cm (6ft) • This Fall Guy is happy, look into his eyes • We can’t take it backOfficial Fall Guys Artwork by Senior Concept Artist:https://t.co/OgiS6WXzno pic.twitter.com/eCLJu1DBpP — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 23, 2020 Long optic nerves seem to connect the eyes to the skull in a gross manner. That, combined with the neck, cement this design as being one of the creepiest in recent memory. The worst part is that, according to the Fall Guys Twitter account…this design is canon. Of course, this may just be a joke but given the fact that they make the game, they have control over what is and isn’t official, so it very well might be. So the next time you see another player get eliminated and feel bad about it, just remember what’s lurking inside the depths of those fat beans.

  • Fall Guys developer promises fix for annoying balance problem – Dexerto

    Fall Guys developer promises fix for annoying balance problem Mediatonic[jwplayer g3AYlLvE] One of the more annoying Fall Guys problems, which involves the balance of players in team-based challenges, seems to have a fix on the way, but when it will arrive has yet to be confirmed. If you’ve been even remotely paying attention to the battle royale scene right now, you’ll know that Fall Guys tasks players with surviving obstacle course-style challenges that narrow down the field to a final contestant. These challenges/levels are split into two categories: solo, where it’s every person for themselves, or team-based, where players have to work with others in order to survive each level. While players have been having fun with the game since its August 2020 launch, many people have are having an issue with certain uneven team-based levels. Fortunately, while responding to a user over on the Fall Guys Reddit, Joe Walsh, the lead game designer at Mediatonic, said that a fix for the problem should be coming in the near future. The issue itself stems from the fact that, at times, the number of players on each team is uneven, due to the number of overall people in the lobby. For example, if there are 20 people left in the game and the game requires three teams, that means that there would be two teams of seven people and on a team of six people. If you don’t know anything about the Fall Guys, this might not seem like a big deal. That being said, teamwork in team-based levels is incredibly important in this game and having even one less person that the other team can cause problems. Unfortunately, there’s no ETA as to when the problem will be fixed, however, Walsh did confirm that the team is currently working on a solution, so it hopefully won’t be too long before players stop seeing those uneven teams.

  • Fall Guys dev confirms they’re working on hacking problem – Dexerto

    Fall Guys dev confirms they’re working on hacking problem MediatonicA Fall Guys’ dev has confirmed that they’re working on ways to combat hackers and cheaters, who have been becoming more and more common since the game was released. Fall Guys’ colorful take on the battle royale genre is uniquely refreshing and players from around the world have been busy competing in its deceptively challenging mini-games. As with any game that becomes popular though, it’s seen an influx of hackers and cheaters as of late that, for one reason or another, don’t feel like playing by the same rules as everyone else. The different types of hacks vary, from speed hacks that make your character breeze through the course in a flash, to invisible walls that prevent other players from touching or grabbing the hacker. Obviously it’s beyond frustrating to be put in a match with a cheater, who you usually have no hope of beating under normal circumstances. But devs have said they’ll finally be coming to the rescue with a system to combat exploits in a future update. In response to a Reddit thread on the next upcoming Fall Guys update, one dev assured players that they were working on ways to combat cheaters that would be introduced soon, but didn’t want to get into specifics and give cheat makers a heads up, so they know what’s coming. “We’re working on it and putting out hacker exploit fixes too,” Mediatonic dev FallGuysJoe replied. “With these however it’s better for us to not announce specifics and as it just tips them off to start looking for workarounds.” https://youtu.be/KBM8LL63PAg As we mentioned earlier, Fall Guys has already seen crazy success and popularity with its simple, but at the same time challenging take on the battle royale genre. But, like other games before it, it now has to deal with the influx of cheaters and people who take advantage of exploits to get ahead. Fall Guys is one of the last games you expect to see hackers in, but this just goes to show they can pop up in any and every online multiplayer game. Hopefully, whatever devs do to combat them does a good enough job that we’ll only have to worry about the game’s usual perils and pitfalls than characters displaying godlike abilities.

  • Fall Guys dev shows off early mini-game and prize ideas – Dexerto

    Fall Guys dev shows off early mini-game and prize ideas MediatonicJeff Tanton, Creative Director at Mediatonic, has revealed one of the early level ideas from Fall Guys as well as the initial idea for the end of game prize as it wasn’t always going to be a Crown. Since releasing in early August, Fall Guys has taken over the internet. The incredibly entertaining child-like battle royale looks like anybody could win their first game, but as TimTheTatman proved, that’s pretty far from the truth. As the popularity has continued to grow, fans want to see more and more. That includes the developer’s plans for the future, as well as what they had mapped out from the beginning. Jeff Tanton, the Creative Director at Mediatonic, lifted the lid on some of the devs’ earliest plans for the game – which wasn’t going to be called Fall Guys initially, but actually, Fool’s Gauntlet. On top of his details about the first ideas for a name, the marketing plan to sell the project, and even initial designs of the character, Tanton revealed a few images of some early level design concepts. The main one centers around a level in the clouds where players would start off at one end, climb a wall, traverse a small downwards ramp, and then deal with a set of rollers and a see-saw. Once past that, there’s a curved wall to climb and a swing to use to get towards the end. But even there, you’d have to avoid swinging balls to secure a place in the next round. https://twitter.com/Jeff_Tanton/status/1296494846862143488 Aside from the early level concept, Tanton also revealed part of their early pitch which would have sene players fight for in-game money, not just a crown. Instead of one player being the victor, the early idea for Fall Guys would be that the more players that finished the final level, the smaller split of a 1,000,000 coin prize pool you would receive. Cut to Jan 2018 – and I invite Joe Walsh (@gosujoe) to brainstorm on a completely different internal pitch – something just clicked and he had his epiphany moment midway through. I got the one-pager for “FOOLS GAUNTLET” a few days later pic.twitter.com/NBU8PeqdqT — Jeff Tanton (@Jeff_Tanton) August 20, 2020 Obviously, that didn’t make the cut and, for now, players continue to fight it out to claim the crown of being the last player standing. As for that initial level concept, who knows, we could see something similar in the future but we’ll just have to wait and see what other wacky ideas the Fall Guys devs have got lined up.

Here’s what you need to know. Since releasing for PC and PlayStation 4 back in August, Mediatonic’s Fall Guys has pretty much taken over the gaming world – with everyone from streamers to celebrities diving in and trying to claim the crown. Given its insane popularity, the developers have already confirmed that major update, Season 2, is in the works. But, before that gets rolled out, they do have other plans too. That includes their Big Yeetus and Anti-Cheatus update, which aims to get rid of some of the issues that have been plaguing the game in recent weeks. Big Yeetus hammer As the name of the update suggests, Mediatonic has changes to existing levels – with the addition of the Big Yeetus hammer – coming on September 15. The spinning hammer will “randomly appear in levels” to spice things up, so, you could end up getting a help hand or it could end up sending you back to the main menu so that you can search for another game. There will be additional level variation with new fruit falling from the sky to try and ruin your day – including the previously revealed ‘Watermelon Crush’. New Falls Guys anti-cheat In addition to that, Fall Guys will also be moving to the same anti-cheat system that Epic Games uses for Fortnite, as well as a few other games. This had been previously teased by the devs who have also apologized for the number of cheaters who have managed to worm their way into Fall Guys games. Will do proper patch notes when it drops, but this is what’s coming later today… Fall Guys: BIG YEETUS & ANTI-CHEATUS – RANDOM LEVEL VARIATIONS including B I G Y E E T U S – EPIC’S ANTI-CHEAT – MORE STABILITY // LESS DISCONNECTIONS – VARIOUS BUG FIXES👌 B I G C O O L 👌 — Fall Guys (@FallGuysGame) September 15, 2020 On top of those two major additions, there will also be plenty of bug and stability fixes so that the colorful battle royale continues to run smoothly.

  • Fall Guys Creative Mode: Release date, how to build and share levels, more – Dexerto

    Fall Guys Creative Mode: Release date, how to build and share levels, more MediatonicThe team behind Fall Guys is bringing Creative Mode to the chaotic multiplayer title. We’ve similar concepts in other games, but how exactly will Creative Mode work in Fall Guys? Let’s give you a breakdown of everything we know. Fall Guys still manages to be one of the gaming communities’ wildest places to go for wacky, online action. Its long list of party games ensures that it’s one of the most fun experiences around. With the game coming to the end of its third official season since going free-to-play, players are looking ahead to Season 4. One of those reasons is due to the impending arrival of Creative Mode in Fall Guys. This huge announcement arrived on May 3, 2023, and promised some big changes. Creative Mode is coming, and it’s set to reinvent Mediatonic’s multiplayer game. Fall Guys Creative Mode: Release date Creative Mode is set to launch in Fall Guys with the beginning of Season 4 on May 10, 2023. As soon as the new season is active, not only can you experience the new games, themes, and cosmetics, but Creative Mode will be free to use as well. Fall Guys Creative Mode: Building & sharing levels The devs have said that players can start building levels with Creative Mode from the get-go.

  • Fall Guys announce WWE crossover including The Undertaker skin – Dexerto

    Fall Guys announce WWE crossover including The Undertaker skin MediatonicFall Guys has announced its latest crossover, this time bringing WWE superstars to the quirky battle royale ahead of the WWE Summerslam 2022 PPV, including “The Phenom” The Undertaker. Ever since Epic Games and Mediatonic took the decision to make Fall Guys free-to-play, the quirky battle royale has seen a resurgence in popularity. After originally being labeled a “dead game,” going F2P has seen beans come flooding back and the game now has a solid player count across most platforms. One of Fall Guys’ biggest appeals, other than tackling Total Wipeout-style courses as a clumsy jellybean, is its crossovers. We’ve seen the likes of Halo and Nightmare Before Christmas events in the past, bringing a host of unlockable skins and unique challenges. Now, Fall Guys is crossing over with WWE, introducing some of the brand’s biggest and best superstars to the party. WWE superstars coming to Fall Guys In preparation for the WWE Summerslam PPV happening at the end of July, Fall Guys players will be able to pick up costumes of three iconic wrestlers, including the Deadman himself – The Undertaker. There will also be a new Celebration and Emote up for grabs. Check out everything included in the Fall Guys x WWE crossover below: Asuka Costume – Xavier Woods Costume – Undertaker Costume – The Bell Tolls Celebration – Francesca’s Refrain Emote – These items will be available from the Fall Guys Store, hitting virtual shelves from July 28 until August 1, so be sure to act fast if you don’t want to miss out. They can be purchased individually or as a complete bundle. Unfortunately, we won’t know the pricing of each WWE Costume or bundle until they appear in the store. That being said, since these will be premium skins, we’d expect them to set you back a fair few Show Bucks. It remains to be seen if Mediatonic will double down on the crossover with some WWE-themed in-game challengers or extra unlocks, but wrestling fans will no doubt be over the moon to see their favorite superstars in Fall Guys. The Undertaker won 21 times in a row at Wrestlemania but tackling Slime Clime with dozens of other fumbling beans might just be the Deadman’s toughest test yet.

  • Fall Guys devs respond to ‘auto buy’ bug for skins – Dexerto

    Fall Guys devs respond to ‘auto buy’ bug for skins Epic GamesDeveloper Mediatonic has begun issuing statements to players who accidentally purchased Fall Guys items due to the ‘auto buy’ bug. The issue first cropped up fairly recently, with users noticing that simply previewing an item could lead to an in-game purchase because of Fall Guys’ lack of a “confirm purchase” option. As of yet, the bug hasn’t received widespread attention but users on Reddit began spreading the word late last week. Thus far, the developer’s response to the Fall Guys purchasing error has proven less than ideal, particularly for those hoping to secure a refund. Mediatonic responds to the Fall Guys ‘auto buy’ glitch Reddit posts shared by users StwPlayer and Giremo_Cp features screenshots of responses sent from Mediatonic to Fall Guys players requesting refunds for accidental in-game purchases. Giremo_Cp, in particular, claimed they “unintentionally bought a Somebrero kit” for 500 Show Bucks despite simply clicking on the item for more information. The replies received by the Redditors came from two different support team members, both of whom note that all store purchases are “final and non-refundable.” If and when Mediatonic plans to address the issue in a formal statement or bug fix presently remains a mystery. At the time of writing, though, the developers has yet to make mention of the Fall Guys ‘auto buy’ error on Twitter or its Public Issue Tracker. This buying error follows on the heels of Fall Guys entering the free-to-play space in late June. The free-to-play version of the battle royale experience also marked its long-awaited debut on Nintendo Switch and Xbox platforms. Known as Fall Guys: Free for All, the free rollout also resulted in the release of cross-play functionality, the Show Bucks currency, and a host of new content. Epic Games responds to Fall Guys bug Publisher Epic Games has issued the following statement regarding the ‘auto buy’ issue in Fall Guys: “What is happening in the game is not intended and we are actively fixing it. The customer service response was also not acceptable and we will offer a make good for all affected.” In addition, the Fall Guys Twitter account shared the post below, informing players of its plans to fix the issue with accidental purchases: Hopefully, the matter is well on its way to reaching a resolution.

  • Fall Guy devs want to “build trust” before taking game to Xbox & mobile – Dexerto

    Fall Guy devs want to “build trust” before taking game to Xbox & mobile MediatonicWhile Fall Guys will undoubtedly reach other platforms in the future, Mediatonic has explained why “it’s not the right thing to do” at this point in time. Fall Guys immediately captivated the gaming industry upon its release on August 4. Having launched across PlayStation and PC, it’s rapidly grown into one of the most successful indie game launches of all time. The charming battle royale has sold more than seven million copies on Steam and gone on to become the biggest PS Plus game of all time. With Season Two on the horizon, there are no signs of it slowing down anytime soon either. But when will other platforms be able to join in on the fun? From Xbox players to those on mobile or even the Nintendo Switch, there’s a big demand for Fall Guys outside of its current install base. Developers addressed the possibility in the second episode of Gary Whitta’s ‘Talk Guys’ podcast on August 28. Here’s what they had to say. The talk show hosts covered many bases throughout the more than two-hour conversation. Though one topic that stood out pertained to Fall Guys releasing on new hardware in the near future. While leaks have hinted at an eventual mobile release, Mediatonic is yet to officially confirm any plans for expansion. “Right now, our real focus is on making the PlayStation and PC games as good as they possibly can be,” lead designer Joe Walsh explained. Rather than dividing efforts and trying to port the game, the devs want to support the current user base instead. “We really have to build trust with the community now and make sure they believe that we can support this game and make it really good.” Porting to other platforms is “not the right thing to do at this point in development,” according to Walsh. While the door hasn’t been shut entirely, they clearly want to harness their efforts on bringing new content to current players first and foremost. It could cost them a great deal of money in the short-term, he admitted, but hitting new consoles isn’t “what [they] want to do right now. The focus is on building that relationship with the community.” The relevant conversation begins at the 1:09:14 mark in the video below. With millions of players logging in daily to jump and dive for their next crown, Fall Guys landing on other platforms would only be met with even more success. But until the developers are comfortable with the state of the game, anxious gamers might not want to hold their breath. Season 2 is just around the corner with new modes and costumes. Perhaps a future season could mark the game’s expansion to a new console, but only time will tell.

  • Every new costume being added in Fall Guys Season 2 – Dexerto

    Every new costume being added in Fall Guys Season 2 MediatonicWant to dress up your bean with a suave new look in Fall Guys Season 2? There’ll be plenty of skins and costume options to choose from, although they all come with a decidedly Medieval theme. Fall Guys’ new season is on the way. With a release date penned for 2020, there’s a ton of new content to be looking forward to. From new stages, a new battle pass, and even the potential of cross-play, Season 2 is set to give Fall Guys a new lease on life. If you’re looking for a new costume to dress your bean up in though, there’ll be plenty of those. Six “fresh Medieval styles” were revealed at the Gamescom Opening Night at the end of August. They’re all set to arrive during Season 2. There’s a few options down that theme you can pick up. Two Viking skins are up for grabs, one male one and another female one. There’s also two mage-like skins — a wizard and a witch. If you want to be the knight in shining armor who claims the crown at the end of the race, you can do so in Season 2. However, if these all aren’t up your alley, there might be one for you — the Dragon skin. These are only likely to be a few of the costumes Mediatonic will release in Fall Guys Season 2. They haven’t confirmed prices, or how to unlock each of the costumes yet, but it’s likely you’ll have to cash in some of your crowns. Here’s a full list of the costumes we know so far, if you wanted a quick rundown.

Initial designs have been submitted — some fan-made, others designed by the winners themselves — and should be in development as we speak. These are only the costumes that we know of coming in Fall Guys Season 2 so far. It’s likely even more will be added to the shop as October comes and goes. We will keep you updated as always so you can find the perfect costume to cash your crowns in on.

  • TimTheTatman loses Fall Guys bet to F1 driver Lando Norris – Dexerto

    TimTheTatman loses Fall Guys bet to F1 driver Lando Norris Twitch: TimTheTatman / Lando NorrisTimTheTatman’s struggles on Fall Guys just keep piling up, as he’s now lost his bet with F1 driver and fellow Twitch streamer Lando Norris over who would get a crown first. Despite being one of the biggest streamers on the platform and a veteran of gaming, Tim ‘TimTheTatman’ Betar has been unable to secure a single win in Fall Guys since the game released. As the days went on, his fans, the developers, and the internet at large has taken notice, and now everyone is waiting impatiently for him to finally get a win. In an attempt to heat things up, Lando Norris challenged Tim to a simple wager. “First guy to win a crown in @FallGuysGame has to give 100 subs to the winner,” Lando said, and Tim agreed, responding: “I’m getting a win tomorrow.” Full of confidence, Lando got to work immediately. Although you could argue he gave himself a headstart, it’s not like Tim hasn’t been trying for days on end. And, it didn’t take Lando anywhere near as long as his rival. The driver who doubles as a Twitch streamer netted his first crown within 14 hours of the bet being placed. At the time Lando posted about his, Tim hadn’t started streaming yet, so it’s going to be another day of playing catch up to almost everyone else, who already have a win. When he does start streaming though, he’s going to have to head over to Norris’ channel and admit defeat, gifting 100 subs to his viewers, at a cost of $500. Thankfully, Tim will easily make his money back with his own stream, which has boomed in viewership thanks to his ongoing failure in Fall Guys. He peaked at over 140,000 live concurrent viewers for his August 18 stream, and the numbers are likely to keep going up, the longer it takes to get a win.

    5 big features Fall Guys could add next [jwplayer g3AYlLvE]Fall Guys is absolutely dominating both gaming and streaming charts, making it one of the most popular games of the year. However, there are a few things we’d love to see added to the colorful battle royale. Mediatonic’s gameshow inspired title Fall Guys has taken the world by storm and players have been busy competing for that all-important win. While its bean-filled world may look charming enough, the level of competition is incredibly high. Fortunately, Fall Guys’ cocktail of silly game modes and adrenaline-fueled platforming make for a fantastic combo. The game currently features 24 levels which are randomly selected each round, forcing players to master them all if they wish to have a shot at claiming a win. While it’s still incredibly early days, we’ve come up with five major features we’d like to see added to Fall Guys. Hacker only lobbies For such a charming and lighthearted game, Fall Guys has certainly attracted its fair share of cheaters. Currently, speed-enhancing hacks are ruining the fun for many PC players, often denying them the chance to secure that well-earned win. If you have played since launch or watched any Fall Guys streams, then chances are you’ve seen these cheats in action. In fact, we ran into our very own hacker during a Jump Showdown finale. This bad bean used his hacks to leap through the air, effortlessly avoiding the rotating bar and securing an easy victory. Read more: How to beat Fall Guys Hex-A-Gone stage – While banning cheaters from playing the game is a decent punishment, we personally love the idea of forcing them to compete in their very own hacker-filled lobbies. Not only would this be incredibly cathartic to watch, it would also show these players just how unfun their hacks really are. Spectate squad button As of writing, the only way to spectate your friends in Fall Guys is to quickly sift through all the other players in the lobby. This wouldn’t be so bad if the camera simply stuck to those you wish to view, but it changes each round, forcing you to begin the process once again. A simple ‘spectate squad’ button would go a long way in alleviating this annoyance and we’d love to see this implemented in the future. After all, spectating your friends bumble their way through a course can be just as fun as playing. Having this feature would mean we would never miss a funny moment again. Custom map creator Arguably the most wanted feature on this list is the addition of a custom map creator. Not only would this allow the community to create exciting new concepts, but it would also give the game infinite replayability. Being able to download and vote for the best player-created maps would be fantastic, especially if there were playlists dedicated to showing off the most popular creations. Fall Guys Lead Game Designer, Joe Walsh stated in a recent Reddit post that the team was discussing this feature, but the complexities of the current engine make the process a little tricky. For now, it looks like a custom map creator may be a pipedream, but we’d love to see this added in the future. Team game mode While team games may be a point of contention for many Fall Guys fans, they could be put into a completely separate mode for those that want to play them. Currently, team games are used to eliminate huge waves of players before entering the final rounds. These games often heavily rely on RNG and take very little skill to beat. A lot of players often dislike having to work with randoms at the best of times, particularly when your a few players down. Having a playlist that is purely catered around team games could be a good addition, especially for those that wish to squad up with their buddies and beat the living snot out of yellow team. Couch co-op Fall Guys just screams couch co-op. Being able to invite a bunch of your friends over and hook up multiple controllers would be fantastic. The simplistic nature of Fall Guys makes it the perfect party game. After all, there’s something extremely satisfying about beating your mates and seeing their reactions in realtime, so having a split screen mode is something we’d love to see added. Wacky games like Human Fall Flat and Gang Beasts have proven just how ridiculously fun the shared/split screen PvP can be. However, until Mediatonic implements this feature, we’ll simply make do with passing the controller around. So there you have it, five things we want to see added to Fall Guys. Do you agree with our suggestions? If so, make sure you follow @FallGuysPage on Twitter for all the latest game updates and news.

  • 5 must-know tips before you play Fall Guys – Dexerto

    5 must-know tips before you play Fall Guys Devolver Digital[jwplayer aMtUbHdt] Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, one of the newest battle royale games, is finally out on both PlayStation 4 and PC – but there are a couple of things you should know before you start if you want the jump on everybody else. Ever since it was announced during E3 2019, fans of the battle royale genre have had their eye on Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout. The game promised a unique battle royale experience that you couldn’t find anywhere else, with cute graphics to boot. Now that the game is finally here, it’s safe to say they delivered. For those that don’t know, Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout drops 60 players into multiple obstacles course-styled levels. Players can win each level in a variety of ways, depending on what’s required. Sometimes you have to race to the end of a track, sometimes you have to have more points than another team, and sometimes you just have to survive. While it may seem complicated, it’s a pretty simple experience once you start playing. That being said, that’s not to say that there’s no skill involved. Just like any other battle royale game, winning isn’t easy. Because of this, we’ve compiled a list of tips that will help you survive the Fall Guys experience – and just might give you a leg up on other players. While you want to be fast, taking your time can also be beneficial In Fall Guys, like any other battle royale game, players are in a scramble to perform well. It’s only human nature; people generally want to do things in a skillful manner and as quickly as possible. That being said, it’s important to remember to fight this urge while playing levels. One of the more common levels is the Gate Crash. Players have to be one of the first 40 to finish a race while breaking through random barriers that may or may not be breakable. Rushing into one of those barriers can cause you to lose a lot of valuable time, because if that barrier isn’t breakable, you are going to have to play catch up in the best-case scenario. Worst case scenario, you can kiss beating the level goodbye. If you take your time while everyone else is panicking, it can allow you to get the upper edge on the opposition. Jumping is your friend This may be a simple tip. but it can give you an extreme edge over other players… literally. Jumping at the right time can allow you to vault over obstacles and fallen players with ease. While jumping can certainly be useful in all game modes and helps you avoid players when you need to, it’s detrimental in race-based gamemodes, as it can put you on the path to first place. Watch what other players are doing Hey, it’s not cheating! Watching what other players are doing can help you learn exactly what you’re supposed to be doing. For example, one game featured in Fall Guys tasks players with memorizing flashing images of fruit on floor tiles. After a few seconds, the game will tell you to stand on a tile based on a specific fruit and if you don’t, you’ll fall and be eliminated. If you forgot what fruit was associated with a specific tile, there’s nothing wrong with watching where other players are congregating and heading over to them. Is it cheap? Maybe, but it’ll help you win and that’s all that matters at the end of the day. If you’re playing a team-based level, teamwork is 100% required In Fall Guys, most levels are a free-for-all, where you have to worry about you and you alone. That being said, there are a wealth of team-based levels as well, where you have to work with 5 or 6 other players if you want to survive. Although it may seem like an obvious piece of advice, teamwork is absolutely critical in these modes. You will not win if you go off doing your own thing; you have to work with the other team members if you want to continue. Staying in groups is one of the easiest ways to be a team player. While this doesn’t mean that every single player has to stick to each other in one large mass of players, making multiple, small groups of two or three players can be extremely beneficial. Practice Practicing is the best way to get good at anything in life, and Fall Guys is no different. You’re not going to win in your first match, so just get that out of your head right now. Like every other battle royale game, you’re going to lose, and you’re going to lose a lot. You’re going to get frustrated in more ways than one, and that’s all part of learning. It’s going to take a while to master each and every game mode, and even the controls themselves. There’s no one surefire, easy way to win Fall Guys. That being said, if you practice, and employ all the previous tips, you’ll find yourself making it farther and farther in the game until eventually… you’ve finally found yourself staring at the win screen.

  • Where next for Carlos Sainz? Five options for Ferrari star after Lewis Hamilton bombshell – Dexerto

    Where next for Carlos Sainz? Five options for Ferrari star after Lewis Hamilton bombshell Wikimedia CommonsThe headlines on a rather quiet transfer deadline day were stolen by a blockbuster switch in F1 as it emerged Lewis Hamilton will leave Mercedes to join Ferrari next year. Hamilton has been with Mercedes for 12 years, winning six of his seven world titles during his stint with the Brackley-based team. Next season, though, he will race in the famous red of legendary Italian team Ferrari, following in the footsteps of his idol Michael Schumacher. The knock-on effect Hamilton will replace Carlos Sainz at Ferrari, leading many to wonder which team the Spaniard will race for next season. Mercedes is an obvious option, with Hamilton’s move in the other direction freeing his seat up. Sainz will be a hot ticket next season thanks to his consistent performances for Ferrari over the last three years and Mercedes, although not currently a championship contender, remain one of the biggest constructors in the sport. Red Bull could soon be on the hunt for a second driver, with Sergio Perez’s current contract up at the end of this year. Sainz would very much be the the second driver at Red Bull behind Max Verstappen and the pair are also said to have had a ‘toxic’ relationship when they were teammates at Toro Rosso, so the team dynamic might not be quite right should Sainz join the world champions. Joining Sauber would likely lead to an uncompetitive season from Sainz in 2025 but he would then be guaranteed to be the star driver in time for Audi’s move into the sport in 2026 – a status he wouldn’t enjoy at Red Bull and perhaps even Mercedes, given George Russell’s showings since moving up from Williams. Aston Martin and Williams are two other, far less likely, options given the uncertain futures of the two teams’ current drivers, with 42-year-old Fernando Alonso’s long-term future at Aston Martin not guaranteed and Williams’ Alex Albon a contender for Hamilton’s old Mercedes seat.

  • Why is the FIA chief under investigation for interference? – Dexerto

    Why is the FIA chief under investigation for interference? Associated PressFIA president, Mohammed Ben Sulayem, is reportedly under investigation for allegedly interfering over the result of a Formula 1 race last season. According to the BBC, Ben Sulayem is alleged to have intervened with the decision to overturn a penalty that had previously been handed out to Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso at the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. It is understood that a report by an FIA compliance officer sent to its ethics committee claims that Ben Sulayem called Sheikh Abdullah bin Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa – the FIA’s vice-president for sport for the Middle East and North Africa, who was in Saudi Arabia at the time of the race – stating that Alonso’s penalty should be overturned. Ben Sulayem and the FIA have not yet responded to the allegations, while it is expected that the ethics committee will issue a report in four to six weeks . Why was Fernando Alonso given a penalty? Alonso had initially been given a five-second penalty for his car being partially outside of his starting box for lights out. As the Spaniard came into the pits during the race to serve his penalty, Aston mechanics were not to begin work on his car until the five seconds had passed. Yet a rear jack appeared to make contact with the car before the entire time had elapsed and the penalty was subsequently upgraded to 10 seconds. The penalty however was overturned at the time due to ambiguities in the rules as to whether a jack making contact with the car actually constituted as work being done. After the race, the rules were tightened to clarify that “touching the car or driver by hand or tools or equipment will all constitute working.” Should that wording have been in place prior to the race, there is no doubt that Alonso’s penalty would have been upheld. This would have seen Mercedes driver George Russell promoted up into the podium places instead of Alonso, who finished behind Red Bull duo Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen in first and second respectively. F1 returns this Saturday in Saudi Arabia – here is all you need to know ahead of lights out.

  • Max Verstappen’s father’s comments plunge Christian Horner’s Red Bull future into doubt – Dexerto

    Max Verstappen’s father’s comments plunge Christian Horner’s Red Bull future into doubt Sky Sports ItalyChristian Horner’s future as Red Bull Team Principal has been thrown into fresh doubt after explosive comments from the father of F1 champion Max Verstappen. Horner was the subject of an investigation in February after an allegation of misconduct was levelled at him by a female member of Red Bull’s staff. Earlier this week, Horner was cleared of the allegations by Red Bull’s board, appearing to pave the way for F1’s focus to return to the race track ahead of the opening race of the 2024 season. But on Thursday that script was torn apart after an anonymous email purporting to show WhatsApp messages sent by Horner to the female staff member was sent to Formula 1 personnel and media. Red Bull’s main driver, Verstappen, retained his focus to win the Bahrain Grand Prix on Saturday but the situation has left his father, Jos, less than impressed. “There is tension here while he remains in position,” he told the Daily Mail. “The team is in danger of being torn apart. “It can’t go on the way it is. It will explode. He is playing the victim when he is the one causing the problems.” Max Verstappen’s stance on Christian Horner future Verstappen himself has withheld from commenting on Horner’s situation and has chosen to praise his impact on the track which has helped the Dutch driver win three successive Formula 1 drivers’ championships. “Listen, when I look at how Christian operates within the team, he has been an incredible team boss,” Verstappen said. “So absolutely, from the performance side of things, you can’t even question that. “I speak to Christian a lot. And also, of course, throughout the weekend here, he’s fully committed to the team. He’s also here for the performance, of course. Probably a little bit distracted. “But we just focus on the performance side of things and that is how we all work together.”

  • Toto Wolff reveals key issue holding up Mercedes signing Max Verstappen – Dexerto

    Toto Wolff reveals key issue holding up Mercedes signing Max Verstappen Associated PressToto Wolff has admitted that he would “love” to sign Max Verstappen for Mercedes, but insisted that the team need to “sort out” their car before they can realistically consider the move. Verstappen continued his perfect start to the F1 season as he won the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – his ninth straight victory overall. The Dutchman has now won 19 of the last 20 races, as he looks to improve on his incredible record of winning all but three grands prix last year. Yet with rumours emerging that the Red Bull senior hierarchy could be set for drastic change, talk has begun over what could be a sensational move for Verstappen to join Mercedes. Wolff would ‘love’ Verstappen at Mercedes Silver Arrows team principal, Wolff, has made no secret over his desire to add the three-time world champion to his driver line-up, especially with Lewis Hamilton set to join Ferrari in 2025. Yet the Austrian is all too aware that there is one major roadblock in the team’s bid to sign the Red Bull star – their car. “I’d love to have him,” said Wolff. “But first we need to sort out our car. I think we owe it to our drivers, George [Russell] and Lewis, to improve the car and give them equipment that is good before dreaming about the future next year.” “I think we are going to wait,” he added when asked on Mercedes’ plans to make a decision on replacing Hamilton. “We have a few interesting options, and the more we are able to assess how the season pans out, young drivers with us against slightly older ones – that’s not going to be a decision which we want to take in the next few weeks, it’s rather a few months depending on where it goes.” “Let’s word it like this,” Wolff said on the possibility of Mercedes signing Verstappen. “I think this is a decision that Max needs to take, and there is no team up and down the grid who wouldn’t do handstands to have him in the car.” Verstappen is looking to become the second Red Bull driver to win four successive drivers’ titles with the team, as he attempts to follow in the footsteps of Sebastian Vettel who achieved the feat from 2010-2013.

  • Max Verstappen may give F1 fans an exciting race at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix – Dexerto

    Max Verstappen may give F1 fans an exciting race at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix Associated PressMax Verstappen’s dominance of Formula 1 has left little for fans to be excited about ahead of a race when it comes to who might win – but that could all be about to change at the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix. Verstappen picked up where he left off last year during the season’s opener in Bahrain last weekend. The Dutchman cruised home more than 22 seconds clear of Sergio Perez in second. The RB19 in the hands of the 26-year-old proved to be a rocketship and the RB20 appears to have the same jet fuel inside of it. Perez struggled to keep pace with his teammate during 2023 season, ultimately finishing with less than half of Verstappen’s points tally (285 vs 575). The Mexican faced increased scrutiny over his future at the team, especially with the return of Daniel Ricciardo to the sport in their sister team, RB. Yet Perez has consistently proved his worth in one category, the streets. Despite only finishing last year with two wins to his name, they both came at street circuits – Jeddah and Baku. Furthermore, the only other circuit that Verstappen failed to claim victory in 2023 was Singapore – also a street circuit. And as F1 gets ready to return to Jeddah this weekend, Perez may well be looking to flex his muscles as King of the Streets come lights out. Admittedly, last year Verstappen suffered an issue in qualifying that saw him line up in P15 for lights out – but do not let that take away from Perez’s skills around the fast paced streets of Saudi. Why Max Verstappen may not win the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix You would be a foolish person to bet against the Red Bull star at the moment, but in his own words, Verstappen admitted that street circuits were not his friend last season. “Mainly I think just street circuits and low-speed, kerbing,” he told Autosport when asked what the team need to improve on. “These kind of things, I think we are not the best at the moment.” Perez meanwhile is adamant that his driving ability is the key factor as to why he often finds success on a street layout. “The reason I’m strong on these circuits is because I am able to play with the car much more than I used to,” he said. “I think in the street circuits you have to be very strong in the race, and very strong with the pressure. “You have to be able to handle the pressure because you’re not able to make mistakes. If you do a small mistake, in a normal circuit, you can get away with it. “But in the streets, you cannot get away with those mistakes. And I probably have more confidence than others come race day.” Checo will be hoping to upset the odds and prevent Verstappen from claiming victory at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix for two years running this weekend as F1 returns under the lights on Saturday.
