How to Do Brutalities in Mortal Kombat X

Recommended Videos

Mortal Kombat X just wouldn’t be a proper Mortal Kombat unless it pushed the limits. So, the folks over at Netherrealm Studios decided to reintroduce Brutalites for those who may get just a little bit tired of seeing all of the new Fatalities the game has to offer. Here’s how to do all brutalities in Mortal Kombat X, and XL.

First, to perform brutalities in Mortal Kombat X, it must be the last round of the fight, meaning you already won a round. Next, your opponent must be near death. Brutalities are different from Fatalities in that they are triggered before you deplete the opposing fighters life bar, not after.

When triggered correctly, you will get to watch as your fighter brutally decimates your adversary (hence the name Brutality).

All button presses for the brutalities down below will reflect those on the DualShock Controller first, and then the Xbox One controls second.
