Brutalities make a comeback in Mortal Kombat X, but they are different this time. Now you must meet certain requirement and do a certain special move as the last hit to perform a brutality.

Recommended Videos

Some of these requirements are very specific while others just require you do a simple attack. You can’t perform a brutality unless you’ve unlocked it, so I’ll also tell you where to get each one. If you are looking for Fatalities, check out my guide on How to do Every Character’s Fatalities. This guide will go over the first half of the characters in alphabetical order, A – K.

This guide will go over all the brutalities in Mortal Kombat X including:

  • Conditions — Requirements for being able to do the brutality.
  • Button Inputs — The buttons you need to press to perform it.
  • Krypt — Where to get and how to unlock each brutality. 

Notes:

  • 1 = Front Punch
  • 2 = Back Punch
  • 3 = Front Kick
  • 4 = Back Kick

There are coordinates after the area the chest is located in the krypt. Just look at the bottom left of your screen to see what area and the coordinates you are at when in the krypt.

Some chests also only appear at certain times. The bottom left also shows the internal clock of the krypt, I’ll put times for those that require it.
