After three years as a PlayStation 4 exclusive, the world of Guerilla Games' Horizon Zero Dawn will make its way to the PC this month. In honor of this release, Gamers Heroes takes a look at the protagonist of the game, the Nora Brave Aloy.

How To Push And Pull In Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout
There isn't a ton of options for what you can do in Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout, but you can push and pull. Check out this guide to find out how to push and pull in Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout. Just be careful not to fall off yourself when trying to eliminate someone else.
How To Push And Pull In Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout
In order to push and pull on players in Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout, you will have to hold R2 down near a player. You will hold your hands out and attempt to grab anyone near you. If you see a white circle, that means they are close enough to be grabbed. You will then have to hold the button until you connect with the play and they will be grabbed. Keep holding and you can either pull back to pull them, or push forward to push them. You do have to be pretty close to grapple, and grabbing does slow you down, so be ready for that.
I personally like to grab players when a ball or obstacle is coming to get them caught. It is really useful in the fruit dropping one because it is easy to get people blasted by he fruit or the log. Be careful in that one though, you can easily be dragged as well. Pushing is a little bit harder since you need a ledge to push someone off. If you push too hard, you fall off as well. Don't be greedy with the push or the pull and you will be okay. Get greedy and 9 times out of 10 you will die as well.
Check back soon for more Fall Guys Ultimate Knockout guides.

Fall Guys Gets "Behind the Schemes" Video
Now available for the PlayStation 4 and PC, learn more about the crew behind Fall Guys with the "Behind the Schemes" video featuring Mediatonic.
Creative Director Jeff mentioned that he came up with the name of "Fall Guys" after originally getting pitched the name "Fall Gauntlet." However, Lead Designer Joe mentioned how he was the one who thought of the concept after watching a lot of Takeshi's Castle when he was younger. He mentioned that you never know what combination of weird and insane rounds you are going to get, and that a lot of the initial level ideas came from that.
Other topics include a special delivery to the Mediatonic studio, the most iconic level in the game (Fall Mountain), how the design of the characters came to be, the work that went into its level design, and how there is no sort of blueprint to create something along these lines.
You can watch the video below:
