Mortal Kombat 11 Brutality Guide

After telling you how to do all fatalities in Mortal Kombat, it’s time to look at an even more brutal class of finisher. Yes, they’re called brutalities, and every fighter has ‘em. Unfortunately you can’t just do them at any point, or whenever you want: you’ll have to unlock them in the game’s Krypt, which is like a loot mode where you walk around opening treasure chests and finding other hidden goodies. And once you’ve unlocked a brutality, you then have to meet specific requirements in a fight in order to be able to pull it off. Brutalities are just kind of complex and confusing all around, but here’s a quick and easy way to learn all of them.

Also, since the game is on multiple consoles, the specific buttons for your brutality combos will depend on your controller. Unlike fatalities, it won’t always be either a Front Punch, Back Punch, Front Kick or Back Kick; you might have to do a throw or even amplify your move. The specific buttons for all of these moves depend on your console, and here’s a guide to all possible buttons.

Front Punch: Square on PS4, X on Xbox, Y on Switch
Back Punch: Triangle on PS4, Y on Xbox, X on Switch
Front Kick: X on PS4, A on Xbox, B on Switch
Back Kick: Circle on PS4, B on Xbox, A on Switch
Throw: L1 on PS4, LB on Xbox, L on Switch
Amplify (it’s also the Interact button): R1 on PS4, RB on Xbox, R on Switch

Once you get the specific inputs for your preferred console committed to memory, you can start working on the brutalities themselves. This might not be a complete list—some brutalities are still being discovered within the game—but it’s all the ones we know about so far.

Every Fighter

There’s one brutality that’s shared by every character in the game. It’s fittingly called The Klassic, and it doesn’t need to be unlocked in the Krypt. Yep, you can go whip this brutality off in any battle right now, assuming you meet the specific conditions. If a brutality has multiple conditions listed below, you’ll have to do ‘em all in order to pull off the move.
