The roster of Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities has extended further thanks to the launch of the Khaos Reigns expansion, which has promoted Cyrax and Sektor from Kameos to main characters and brought back the classic fighter Noob Saibot. This means that if you’ve bought in to the expansion then you’ll have access to fresh Cyrax Fatalities, Noob Saibot Fatalities, and Sektor Fatalities, with further additions lined up for the future including Conan The Barbarian, Ghostface, and the T-1000.You can use any of these Fatalities to decimate your rivals locally, or via Mortal Kombat 1 crossplay to expand your pool of opponents. If you picked up the extra pack of Seasonal Fatalities when it was available from the Rotating Premium Items store, I’ve also got the details on how to use the special Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Winter finishers from your kollection.Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities continue the most well-known tradition of the long-running fighting series – obliterating your opponent in entirely brutal fashion once you’ve defeated them in regular combat. This latest instalment does not hold back, featuring the usual flurry of limbs and viscera with just a hint of cheeky humor thrown in for good measure, so naturally you’ll want to know how to carry out these over-the-top executions and cap off your victories. Follow the explanations below, then check out the complete list of Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 so you know which moves to enter when the time comes.Note that Mortal Kombat 1 Brutalities are performed using a different method, which is explained in my separate guide.How to unlock Mortal Kombat 1 Fatalities When you get started in Mortal Kombat 1, you’ll find that each character has one Fatality shown in their moves list under the Finishers tab. You can level up each character to add a second finishing move to this list with Mortal Kombat 1 unlockables, by playing Ranked, Invasion, or Tower modes with them, but crucially you don’t need to unlock a Mortal Kombat 1 Fatality in order to use it (except Seasonal Fatalities) – so follow the sequences I’ve listed below and you can use both finishers straight away, without having to actually reveal them first.How to perform Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1To perform Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1, you need to wear down your opponent’s health until the Finish Them prompt appears on screen, then stand at the appropriate distance from them (close, middle, or far away) and enter the correct sequence of moves to pull off your character’s finisher. The moves correspond to the following buttons on each platform:Front Punch: Square (PlayStation), X (Xbox), Y (Switch)Back Punch: Triangle (PlayStation), Y (Xbox), X (Switch)Front Kick: X (PlayStation), A (Xbox), B (Switch)Back Kick: Circle (PlayStation), B (Xbox), A (Switch)Block: R2 (PlayStation), RT (Xbox), ZR (Switch)Kameo: R1 (PlayStation), RB (Xbox), R (Switch) Note that in addition to the individual moves I’ve listed below, every character can also perform an Easy Fatality by pressing Front Kick + Block, along with an Easy Kameo Fatality by holding Block + Front Punch, as long as you’ve purchased Easy Fatality Tokens from the Premium Items Store. So, if you don’t want to memorise the finishers for each character, this still gives you a simple way to end each victorious match in style if you’ve got the tokens to pay for it.Seasonal Fatalities Originally, the first of the Seasonal Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 was released as DLC in October 2023 to coincide with Halloween. Then in December 2023, you could purchase the Seasonal Finishers Kollection from the Rotating Premium Items store for 1,200 Dragon Krystals, but since January 2024 this pack has not been offered for sale. Once bought, any character can perform the three finishers listed below, and while previously you could only assign one Seasonal Fatality to each fighter at a time, you can now access all three at any time alongside your regular finishers:Fatalities(Any) Halloween Finisher: Block (Hold) + Up, Up(Any) Thanksgiving Finisher: Block (Hold) + Down, Down(Any) Winter Finisher: Block (Hold) + Forward,
