The popular battle royale game introduced a new way to deal with cheaters.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout has received a major mid-season update ahead of the launch of Season 2 later this year.
The “Big Yeetus & Anti-Cheatus” update is now available on PlayStation 4 and PC. It includes bug fixes, as well as the introduction of a new anti-cheating system that should help developer Mediatonic crack down on cheaters who break the game’s rules in order to win crowns.
Elsewhere, this update will add new variety to the game’s rounds, so they feel fresh and new.
In a PlayStation Blog post, Anthony Pepper, senior designer at Mediatonic, provided more information about these variations:
“With this latest patch, you will quickly start to see that all is not what it seems in The Blunderdome. Familiar favourites will have to be tackled in all new ways, with the addition of dozens of obstacles, dizzyingly random rotations and of course, plenty of tumbling fruit. And what’s more, players will have no idea when these changes will occur — no bean’s dignity shall be spared!”
Finally, with this update, you’ll need to watch out for Big Yeetus, the giant swinging hammer that can send beans flying.
Here are the full “Big Yeetus & Anti-Cheatus” patch notes, straight from the game’s Twitter account:
“[PC] Our new anti-cheating system for PC is now in!
[PC] Added ability to bind game actions to mouse buttons
