Omni-Man’s roster of Brutalities in Mortal Kombat 1 is pretty intense, showcasing various bone-crushing moves like The Thinker, Behind You!, Coming Through, You Got Boned!, and The Klassic, a classic decapitating uppercut.
Â
However, fans have unearthed a fifth, undercover Brutality, a twist on Get Boned! Instead of the usual head smashing, this secret move rips the opponent’s skeleton from their skin, muscles, and flesh, tossing it aside.
Â
This hidden maneuver was discovered by MistahJ17 on the Mortal Kombat Leaks subreddit. They shared the steps to execute it: “The usual Get Boned! Brutality involves pressing down three times, but I did this while holding down L2 and R2.”
Â
According to MistahJ17, to pull this off, you need to finish the match using Omni-Man’s F3 grab string. “Make sure to press down three times and hold L2 and R2 while doing so.”
Â
In simpler terms, perform the regular Get Boned! Brutality while holding down R2 and L2 and tapping down three times on the D-pad.
Â
It’s a relatively simple move, so anyone with the character can try it out right away without unlocking or leveling up anything extra. But discovering this secret Brutality raises an intriguing question: how many more are hidden?
Â
Some players are reminiscing about past experiences, like Terrible_Ad_1897, who recalls a possible secret move for Sindel. Dataminers have also been exploring the game’s code for more hidden surprises.
Â
In fact, TheThiny uncovered an entirely different Brutality in the code, but it seems there’s no way to activate it currently. “He also has a special mode, down back forward two, that will turn off your Kameo and turn you into Terminator from MK11 when he dies,” TheThiny explained in a follow-up tweet. Omni-Man might have even more surprises in store!
