Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has just kicked off its sixth season, and the new update brings a fun, kid-friendly party theme to this platforming game alongside several new game rounds. One of these is Full Tilt, a modified version of the classic See Saw event that challenges players to navigate over platforms that can tilt in a full, 360-degree range of motion.
Full Tilt is the natural evolution of See Saw, bringing all the mayhem of the original game mode while adding dastardly traps, tricky obstacles, and persistent blockades. It can be a difficult game to navigate, especially for new players, but there are a few tips that can help get any player across the finish line.
8 Time The Blue Force Fields
One of the featured obstacles in Full Tilt is a ring of blue force fields that can halt a player's progress when trying to get to the next platform. These force fields open and close at set intervals, making them both frustrating and easy to surpass when timed properly.
The best strategy to best this obstacle is to head toward the nearest field that's already closed. The speed at which the Fall Guys beans move means that most players will reach the gate right as it's about to open, making for an easy path forward.
7 Use The Small Gap Around The Force Fields
As if the constantly shifting platforms in Full Tilt weren't enough, there are also additional obstacles on some of the platforms that can throw players off or hinder progress. One of these is a set of blue force fields that will shut off and on in sequence, blocking players stuck on the wrong side.
There is, however, a way to get around the force fields. The edge of the field doesn't extend all the way to the end of the platform, leaving a small gap that players can walk through to get around the force field. It's a narrow path, but using it can mean the difference between qualification and elimination.
6 Take The Path Less Trodden
Full Tilt will often appear in the Fiesta playlist as either the first or second match of any game show, which means there will usually be large groups of players all vying for the top spot. This can cause no small amount of chaos, with throngs of beans struggling to make it from one platform to the next.
It's almost always wisest to take a path with fewer players on it, as the tilt on the platforms will be much more manageable. Too many players on one side of a platform can result in a fully vertical tilt that leads to every player sliding off into the slime below.
5 Learn The Traps
While Full Tilt has its own, intrinsic difficulties, Mediatonic decided to throw some additional challenges into the mix by adding obstacles to several of the platforms. These can be as simple as a spinning arm or as devilish as a rotating ring of rubber pylons.
Learning how each trap behaves is key to succeeding in Full Tilt, especially for the player vying for first place. Each trap requires careful timing and positioning, and getting knocked into the slime by one can end a good show prematurely.
4 Use The Dive Judiciously
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has had the diving feature since its initial launch last year, and the action is just as useful today as it was back then. Diving provides a small additional bit of distance when trying to land a jump, which comes in handy during Full Tilt.
The most useful aspect of diving, though, is how the player's bean reacts after landing. One of the most common mistakes players make is to trust their bean's balance when making a tricky jump, and this can lead to a quick elimination. Diving ensures the player will get back on their feet and back in the race quickly.
3 Know Your Path
There are numerous platforms to jump to in Full Tilt, and most of them will carry the player closer and closer to the finish line. But it's prudent that players pay close attention to which platforms they're jumping to, as some might not provide the quickest path.
For the first few legs of the game multiple platforms will lead to the next checkpoint, but as the game goes on the path will grow more narrow. Note which platforms are closest to the checkpoints and finish line, as there's nothing worse than getting having to double back to a previous platform to keep moving forward.
2 Follow The Leader
While it's usually best to avoid crowds when trying to make it through a game of Full Tilt, there's some benefit to sticking with a small group and letting them take the lead. Balanced platforms tilt downward when a player jumps on them, making them easier to leap to from any adjacent platform.
Giving other players a lead can provide a player with easy to reach platforms for almost the entire duration of the game, all-but-guaranteeing qualification from the round. But this is still a battle royale, so players should still keep an eye out for any chance to take the lead.
1 Use Bumpers As Shortcuts
Full Tilt is the perfect example of Fall Guys chaos that made the game so popular in the first place, spawning hilarious fan comics and memes. But that chaos does make it hard to see all the features each mode has to offer. For instance, just below some of the platforms in Full Tilt are golden drums that, when jumped on, launch players into the air.
They provide an assist many players aren't even aware of, and they can lead to both funny and useful moments in the game. The trampolines can be a lifesaver when stranded on a tilted platform, and the boost they offer can be used to bridge wide gaps, saving precious time in the race to the finish.
