Today marks the release of Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout, following a last-minute beta event on PS4 and PC last week. As players have been enjoying the game, many have noticed the multitude of different patterns, color schemes, and outfits that can be unlocked for their jellybean combatants. In particular, players have begun to wonder how to unlock the Half-Life inspired Gordan Freeman outfit in the game.

While Fall Guys is technically a battle royale game, it's certainly a departure from traditional games in the genre. Rather than games like Apex Legends where players will need to loot and shoot to earn their victory, Fall Guys is a battle royale on an obstacle course, having players complete various rounds to earn a chance at the crown, similar to the show Wipeout.

One of the best things players can unlock in Fall Guys are cute outfits for their characters, and perhaps one of the most sought after is the Half-Life Gordan Freeman outfit, complete with a headcrab. However, players will be disappointed to learn that the only way to unlock this outfit was by pre-ordering the game on Steam. As of the time of writing, there is no other way to unlock this outfit.

While this news will certainly be disappointing for players who purchased the game on Steam after release or PS4 players, there is some good news for the latter. From August 4 to August 31, PS4 players can get Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout as one of two incredibly strong titles for August 2020's free PS Plus games, with the other being Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered.

It's also worth noting that while the outfits in Fall Guys are charming and eye-catching, they do not affect gameplay whatsoever. Players that don the iconic glasses, goatee, and HEV suit of Gordon Freeman are just as likely to be knocked off platforms, mistime jumps, or dive into an enemy team as those with the default Fall Guy.

Following Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout's launch today, the game started to be review bombed on Steam. The battle royale has seen severe server issues with a large influx of players and many players have been upset that the game includes microtransactions for new patterns, color schemes, and outfits despite the game costing $20. Players can earn both Kudos and Crowns, the game's in-game currencies, simply by playing the game, the former of which is rewarded no matter how a player places in a match, and the latter is earned by winning a game.
