Mortal Kombat is well known for its blood and gore, especially with the ever popular Fatalities and Brutalities, so that’s no different in the latest Mortal Kombat X (aka Mortal Kombat 10.)
Every character in Mortal Kombat X has multiple Fatalities and Brutalities that they can perform. Some of these moves will be shown in the character’s moves list by default, and the rest need to be unlocked to be shown there.
To clarify, you don’t need to purchase all of the moves in the Krypt in order to perform them, you just need to know the requirements and successfully perform it in a match. Once you have performed the Fatality or Brutality, it will then show in the moves list for that character.
Note that this list assumes you use the default button layout. If you have changed your button layout from the standard button layout, you’ll need to do some testing to figure out which button you need to press.
All ranges listed are required. Close range means within throw distance, mid range means jumping distance, and long range means all the way across the screen.
For the Brutalities, if there isn’t a variation listed then it can be used by any of the character’s variations.
