MK1 Fatality - List of Inputs for PS5, Xbox and Switch

Fatality is a signature move in Mortal Kombat games and the latest entry in the series, MK1, includes several versions of this finisher. MK1 fatalities can be basic, with easy and regular execution, but you also get a second fatality and Kameo character fatalities. Remembering all of these can be a pain.

So, if you’re not sure how to do fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 on PS5, Xbox Series X and the Nintendo Switch here’s a nifty MK1 fatality list of all different versions of these finishing moves that you can use while destroying your opponents.

MK1 Second Fatality Input List and How to get the Second Fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1

You can use the second fatality if you know the input combination. To officially “unlock” the second fatality in MK1 for any character you need to level it up to lvl 14. This is mostly done in invasion mode. It will then show up in your character’s finishers move list. Easy mode input for executing MK1 second fatalities is Circle + R2 on the Playstation, or B + RT on the Xbox, or A + ZR on the Switch. Since it takes a lot of time to unlock these special moves for each character we looked around and a fantastic Mortal Kombat youtuber called Accelerated Ideas did a video of all inputs. By the writing of this article we only unlocked General Shao, so go give Accelerated Ideas a Like and a Subscribe for all his effort.
