Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout might be a 60-player chaotic melee, but it’s not without its nuances. In addition to jumping and diving to achieve victory (or premature death), it is also possible to climb over some obstacles. However, not everyone knows how to climb, probably because the mechanics are quite difficult to use. Luckily for you, we’re here to help.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout | How to climb
To climb in Fall Guys, you need to use the game grab mechanics. You’re probably already familiar with grabbing characters or objects, and climbing works in a similar way. Press R2 on PS4 (or Shift on PC) to grab a surface, then move your character up to climb.
As with other elements of the game, climbing in Fall Guys requires amazing precision. You will need to perfectly sync your grip to actually lock onto a surface. Grab it too early or too late and you will lose. Calculate the right time, though, and you’ll be able to go up right away.
The difficulty inherent in climbing is probably the reason why you don’t see it very often. However, this is also why it is the perfect trick to learn – it will give you an edge over your opponents. Maybe you can take a few seconds off your best time, or maybe you will find a new shortcut through the stage. Or maybe you just want to grab onto other characters and drag them off a ledge. Whatever your desire is, try it and see what happens.
Climbing in Fall Guys works almost like grabbing anything else. Jump to a ledge, hold R2 or Shift, then pull up. It takes the right timing, but with practice and a little patience, you’ll be climbing like a pro in no time.
