He said he would be back… but you probably weren't expecting him in Mortal Kombat 11, did you? Arnold Schwarzenegger - his portrayal, anyway - takes center stage in the game's latest addition to his Season Pass. He's playable now in all versions of MK11, and he's a monster.
Not only did the T-800 model have some very good assault hits. But if she takes enough damage, Arnold's skin melts, revealing the classic endoskeleton from the Terminator movies. And here's where things get interesting.
Let's describe the moves you can perform with this character and how they can help you get one of the Terminator's two fatal crashes!
Mortal Kombat 11: How to play as T-800 Terminator
A lot in his arsenal
First, the T-800 is framed like a huge guy. So if you want to reduce it defensively, you'll have to tackle key attacks with projectiles or kicks. But maybe watch yourself with fire, as it will burn his skin and put him in Endoskeleton mode.
When reduced to pure metal, it can take less damage. Also, the attacks don't hit him like they would in human form. In other words, it becomes even more unstoppable than before - just like those in the movies.
In general, the T-800 has a lot of great moves under its belt. Let them break down.
Shotgun: With this, he can hit his opponents all over the place, but on the loose, using multiple timed attacks to juggle and chain in a combo. Its range is somewhat limited, but still very effective.
Grenades: Yep, the T-800 can throw grenades to send an opponent flying if it triggers near them, setting them up for even more combined attacks.
The backbreaker Albi: By releasing this, you mainly crack your opponent's back and knock them to the ground. So if you're playing against the T-800, maybe stay out of range, unless you need a drastic readjustment.
The teleporter: Remember when the T-800 entered the present through a portal? Well, he can open that portal at will, just like what the character of Scorpio has done in the past. This allows Arnie to leap over his opponents from behind - possibly with the backbreaker mentioned above.
Radiography: It starts with a thumbs-up from the T-800 hitting its opponent in the face with its shotgun - point blank! From there, he will grab them by the thieves and say, “Come here! Finally, he will give another punch and head butt before they collapse to the ground.
Now on to the good stuff - the fatalities!
How can you finish your opponent?
Typically, the T-800 has a choice of two deaths.
The first is called “Target Complete” and is executed by pressing the Circle buttons on PS4, B, Xbox One or A on Nintendo Switch. The range should be roughly medium.
Once you shoot him, Arnie will shoot his opponent's legs and send them to a Time Sphere, to the future where Skynet reigns. Another endoskeleton will make a hole in their chest to finish them off.
But my favorite? I returned. It's a fate where Arnie will come on his motorcycle (as in Terminator 2) and send them flying. Since they're in the air, he'll descend, pull out his shotgun, and shoot them to pieces. To do this, activate the Previous, Next, Previous, and Square buttons on the PS4, the X button on the Xbox One, or the Y button on the Nintendo Switch. You will want to be close to this one.
Both deaths are described in the video below!
These moves will take a bit of practice, but it goes without saying that fans should be thrilled with the huge, endings that lie ahead!
Mortal Kombat 11 is out now for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.
