Bubblegum battle royale Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout continues to be a massive success, with over 2 million fans enjoy it on Steam alone – but, it seems, not everyone plays the game honestly.
Players upload clips which show that some people use speed hacks that allow them to completely overtake the competition. In the clip below, uploaded by Julien D, we can see a cheater bursting on the map in the mini-game Slime Climb, while the rest of the players barely strut through the starting area.
It is not an isolated event. There are more clips of similar hacks floating around on social media, probably from the PC version of the game, where hacks are easier to implement.
There is also a kind of hack that players can just hack fly over obstacles, sa:
Polygon has reached the developer Mediatonic and will update this post should we hear back. On Twitter, Mediatonic has said it is aware of the issue and will address it soon. In the meantime, the Battle Royale developer encourages people to report hackers.
We are aware of the speedhackers and are working on them
Thanks for reporting them!

However, it is worth noting that hacks cannot take care that you win the game because there are still elements of randomness that you can not control. Sometimes, though, hackers get cocky and try to sneak up on the finish line – meaning other players can give them something sweet, come on.
