Fatalities and Brutalities are back in Mortal Kombat 11 (as if there were any doubt). As usual, they are among the goriest displays of violence you’ll see in a mainstream video game, a tradition going back to the Genesis days. Here’s how to do all the Fatalities and Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 11 and a full list of everything we’ve found so far.
How to Do All Fatalities and Brutalities
Fatalities can be a bit tough to pull off, requiring a specific button combination done in the correct order in a correct location. The best way to practice is to go to the fatality trainer in Learn, and just practice them until you have it memorized.
Make sure you’re in the correction location (noted below) and take your time pushing the buttons. You don’t want to be too slow to the extent where the game can’t even recognize you’re stringing together buttons, but at the same time, if you’re just flailing hitting the buttons as fast as you can you won’t get it right doing that either.
For ease of viewing, all button inputs are labeled in PlayStation 4 otherwise it will be hard to read for everyone. However, we have a conversion chart for PS4 to Xbox One and Switch.
Square = X on Xbox One, Y on Nintendo Switch
Triangle = Y on Xbox One, X on Nintendo Switch
X = A on Xbox One, B on Nintendo Switch
Circle = B on Xbox One, A on Nintendo Switch
Additionally, all characters have The Klassic Brutality which is as follows:
The Klassic – Kill an enemy where the final hit comes via an Uppercut (Down + Triangle)
