It’s a curious thing how after a period of time, familiarity with the various rules and systems changes the way you behave in a game. When I first started playing Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout last summer, I would doggedly compete in every game, right the way up to the last second. However, six month later I am far more cognisant of the way in which the game works. There is a counter in the top right hand corner of the screen indicating that only 43 players can go through to the next round. If you get obstructed, delayed or stuck while completing the course there comes a point where you realise that you will not qualify. When this happens I now just stop and wait to be eliminated. It would appear that a lot of other players do the same. The round then ends and you are awarded your points regardless. There is no sanction for failure in Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout as it is not that sort of game.
