Mortal Kombat fatalities have been the series’ bread and butter since before the dot-com bubble when this brutal fighting game could only be played in arcades. The morbid finishing move has endured and has come to represent everything people love about the Mortal Kombat series on the whole – they’re bloody, grandiose, and the ultimate sign that you’ve humiliated your adversary in battle. A morbid way to signal the end of the match.
To pull off these stark shows of dominance, you’ll first want to whittle your opponent’s health bar to zero. Once that’s done, ‘fatality!’ sprawls across the screen with the equally enthusiastic Shao Kahn shouting it out to match the text on screen. Once you have your cue, you’re free to do the deed. As a side note, fatalities have received a bit of a face lift, as developer NetherRealm raised the Mortal Kombat 11 30 fps cap to 60 fps in a recent update.
The list of Mortal Kombat 11 fatalities is long and exhaustive, however, and every character has plenty of their own unique ones. Keeping on top of these in game is a chore, though, so we’ve put together a list of all the Mortal Kombat 11 fatalities you can use in-game in both keyboard and Xbox controller set-ups.
To keep things tidier, you can read the following moves as these inputs:
- Front Punch: X on Xbox One, J on PC
- Back Punch: Y on Xbox One, I on PC
- Front Kick: A on Xbox One, K on PC
- Back Kick: B on Xbox One, L on PC
