A Fall Guys hacker has proved that even with hacks, some people just aren't cut out for winning one of the game's shows. A clip circulating online, shared by Twitch streamer Classique, shows a hacking player losing a match of Fall Guys despite the massive advantage afforded to them by hacks.
In the clip, the hacker essentially teleports off the line, moving rapidly through the course until they make it to the crown, the final obstacle players need to conquer before they win a match of Fall Guys. However, even though the player has a major lead over every other player, they're unable to grab the crown because of how quickly they move with the hack.
The hacker stops and disables the speed hack, apparently trying to make the match easier on themselves, but they still manage to bungle the jump to the crown, failing to grab it with each attempt. In the end, another player is able to catch up to the hacker, make the jump to the crown, and secure a match win, leaving the hacker hilarious defeated.
Fall Guys has been massively popular, managing to make it to one of the top spots on Twitch during the beta, and suffering numerous server issues in Fall Guys due to the influx of players logging into the game. With how popular the game has been, hackers are to be expected, though it is satisfying to see one get hit with instant karma. Though, this can be chalked up to a lack of skill more so than it can be bad luck.
Hackers tend to be an issue in most online games, so seeing them here is no big surprise. However, finish line fails are a slowly emerging sub-genre of Fall Guys video clips. Numerous videos of players suffering bad luck at a Fall Guys finish line have surfaced online, some losing the game because of showboating, while others are simply victims of poor timing. The bright side of the clips is that it helps foster a better community for the game, which should keep it alive well into the future.
Regardless, it's nice to see a hacker get what they deserve. Fall Guys doesn't use guns, and any violence is cartoonish, which separates from the other battle royale games on the market. With any luck, the game will continue to foster a solid community, with hackers, hopefully, suffering the same fate as the one in the clip.
Fall Guys is available now for PC and PS4.
