How to play Blast Ball in Fall Guys

Blast Balls is one of my favorite game modes in Fall Guys, and I always make sure to get my friends online when it gets unvaulted. It gives me a strong adrenaline rush and a sense of satisfaction to dodge exploding balls while also knocking other players off. That said, I've noticed that some players don't know how to play Fall Guys Blast Ball.

Blast Ball is a simple game mode in Fall Guys. The goal is to knock your opponents off the arena using the Blast Balls. Once picked up, these will blink and flash for about five seconds, then explode. You can throw these balls by walking forward and releasing the grab button. You can also jump to throw it further.

Jumping has its downside; if you are in the air, you will be knocked further away by the explosion. You can also be knocked around by the balls before they explode. The round will end when enough players have been eliminated.

How to win Blast Ball in Fall Guys

To win Blast Ball, you must balance your offense and evasive skills. Keep an eye out for any Bean near an edge when trying to knock other players off. Time the Blast Ball explosion so that it detonates right when it hits them, as this does not give them time to move away. Blast Balls will be more effective against players in the air or lying on the ground, so these are key targets.

Don't focus on offense and eliminating players too much. Sometimes it is better to simply avoid Blast Balls until only a few Beans are left. Avoid being near edges, and watch out for falling platforms. As the round goes on, the arena becomes smaller, making it easier to fall off. You will also need to avoid other players who grab you and attempt to push you off the arena.
