Fall Guys 4041 has finally arrived, bringing with it a range of new levels and the highly anticipated Squads mode. Season 4 has seven new levels, just like Season 3 did before it. It also brings cool new costumes, including an Among Us skin that was revealed just prior to launch.
Three of these new maps are races. They might not be as punishing as Fall Guys’ survival or team levels, but they can be hard to master.
If you are jumping (or falling) back into the game to enjoy the new season, these tips will help you qualify more, so you can get plenty of crowns for all the new skins. Here’s everything you need to know to win on all the new race levels in Fall Guys Season 4.
How To Win Skyline Stumble:
Skyline Stumble is a new race introduced in Fall Guys 4041 that’s usually used to start the show. This means there are 60 players battling to qualify, so it can get quite chaotic. Fortunately, there are a few things you can do to get ahead of the pack.
Anti-Gravity Climb
The level starts with an anti-gravity section, which is recognizable from the blue tint on screen. Jump from the first platform and dive to go even further — this should get you straight to the next platform.
Start jumping up between the platforms whilst evading other players. If you get stuck in a crowd, you will be much more likely to fall.
Ideally, try to avoid the planets that are flying around too. You can bounce on them to gain some serious height, but that’s quite risky.
Pinball Walkway
Once you’ve reached the top, continue along and move past the pinball launcher. Both walkways are the same length, so choose one and run.
You can jump on the buttons to fire objects at opponents on the other side, but it’s quicker to just run to the end. Wait until you can get past the moving purple beams by either jumping over or going under, and then continue to the light bridges.
The Disappearing Light Bridges
The light bridges are simple, but lots of players have been struggling with this section. When you are first approaching them, wait for the bridges to switch to see the rhythm. You’ll see that only a few bridges can be active at once.
Start running along any of the bridges. As soon as the next one appears, jump over. The bridge you were on before will disappear almost instantly. Continue jumping between two bridges until the end of this section.
The Button Maze
Next, you will enter the button maze. This bit is the most confusing, as the buttons throughout the labyrinth activate and deactivate doors.
Your goal is to drop through the hole in the middle of the maze. If you’re one of the first to reach this section of the race, just run through the open doors until you reach the middle.
If you aren’t one of the first, then you might need to use the buttons to open the path to the center. Jump on a button to activate its linked door.
You will be able to tell which door a button will open by the direction of the pink light flowing from it. Once in the middle of the maze, jump through the hole by finding the gap in the spinning wall.
The Laser Swings
After jumping through the hole in the button maze, you’ll go down the slime slide. At the bottom, there will be a circular platform with laser swings.
You can’t duck under them, as they’ll just send you flying off into the slime below. Try to jump over them as they swing down towards you. Make your way across the platform and you’ll be near the end.
Pinball Launchers or Treadmill Slopes?
The last section offers a choice. You can either stand on one of the pinball launchers and get thrown to the top or make your way around the edge, going up the treadmill slopes.
Go for the second, seemingly slower, option. The launchers are too inconsistent and it can get chaotic battling people for a spot on one, so taking the lesser-traveled route here is best.
How to Win Short Circuit:
Short Circuit is the first lapped race in Fall Guys. You must complete two laps around the circuit to qualify, making it one of the longer races in the game. Fortunately, there aren’t many changes between the two laps, making it fairly simple to learn the course.
The Block Maze
It begins with a section cluttered with large blocks. These move as you push into them, which allows you to create a path through.
However, it is much quicker to just climb on top of the first block and make your way along the top. Whilst other players are pushing their way through, you can essentially skip this section and get a significant headstart.
The Spinning Platforms
Go around the first corner and you will come to the next section. There are spinning pads all across the floor, sectioned off by purple lasers moving up and down.
If you hit the lasers, you will be bounced around and most likely end up falling behind other players. Your aim here should be to gain momentum by following the direction of the spinning pads and then using that to launch yourself over the lasers. Do this until you are past this area.
Anti-Gravity Cubes
Next, you will see two rows of walls that you need to get over. These walls rise and fall in a pattern, so you can just wait until they’re lowered and walk through.
However, you will notice that there are more anti-gravity sections here. The area is split into a 2x3 grid of cubes. You should move through the blue cubes, as they are anti-gravity. This will let you jump right over any walls. The red cubes are double gravity, which makes you much heavier.
The Jump Pad Swings
The last section of the lap is swinging lasers which you need to get past. However, this area is made complicated by jump pads, which could send you in all manner of directions. Many of them launch you flying backwards, giving other players plenty of opportunities to run past you.
Fortunately, there is a sequence of jump pads that will send you rocketing forward. Look for the ones circled in the image above - the 6th one along on the first row and the 7th on the second row. Bouncing on these will get you over the laser swings, and then you will be launched towards the finish line.
Of course, there’s still a second lap to go. There aren’t many changes between the laps, but here are some key things to remember:
- The blocks on the first section have all been pushed around now, so there is probably an easy path left from the first round. Take this instead of climbing up again, as climbing would only slow you down. The anti-gravity cubes will switch around for the second lap, so the layout won’t be the same as before.
Everything else remains the same, so that’s everything you need to win on Short Circuit.
How to Win Roll On:
Roll On takes inspiration from Roll Out, which is one of the original Survival maps from Season 1. Roll On takes that level and adapts it, turning it into a race.
Tips to Fall Less on Roll On
This level is very different from the other new races, as you need to constantly be aware of not only what’s in front, but also what is to the side. Since the course is always rotating, you might fall if you don’t focus on all your surroundings to look for holes.
Fortunately, there is a key difference from Roll Out. If you fall in Roll On, you will respawn and be able to keep going, unlike the original survival level.
One of the best tips for Roll On is to use the walls on each ring as landing pads. If you can’t see a way through and are about to fall, look at what is coming up on the next ring. There may be a wall which could catch you as you fall.
The Final Jump
The end of Roll On does slightly mix things up. Once you come off the beam, there will be one last section to cross. This consists of rotating platforms which you need to cross, but the direction has changed.
Jump on to one when it passes and keep jumping between them to avoid the gaps. Then, when you are at the highest point, spot the moving purple platform and dive towards it. You will land on it and then it’s a straight line to the finish.
With all the above tips, you should be able to qualify on all the races in the new season of Fall Guys. This will net you plenty of Kudos, so make sure to check out some of the best skins you can buy.
After becoming the most downloaded PS Plus game of all time, Fall Guys is finally making its way to Xbox and Nintendo Switch this Summer. With their recent acquisition by Epic Games, Fall Guys developer Mediatonic have also confirmed they are working on cross-play. Get plenty of practice in now so you can crush the incoming competition later this year.
