How to unlock the Dark Future achievement in Mortal Kombat X - Definitive Guide

I discovered a relatively quick way to boost this achievement easily with a 2nd controller.

Change your gameplay options to 1 Round to Win in the Main Menu. You can also take off the match timer, but it's not necessary.

Then play 2 player, 1v1, and choose Liu Kang as your fighter, and Kotal Kahn as the dummy player.

When the match starts, use Liu to kick Kotal's butt down to a sliver of health.

Once he's almost dead, grab your 2nd controller and input the button combination for his sacrifice move (Toward, Down, Back, cn_B) which takes away a bit of his health in return for a damage buff.

Kotal will kill himself and it will count as a brutality for Liu Kang.

Select "Rematch" and repeat 50 times.

Enjoy smile

The best way I've found is to go into Kustom Kombat with a second controller active, set either players stipulations to Brutality Modification (no brutality requirements) and the other to 1% health (can't remember the exact name) as far as I'm aware these are unlocked from the start so no need to go fumbling round the Krypt to find them.

Then as player 1 select Kenshi, player 2 any one really, when it kicks off all you need to do with Kenshi is press LB (Grab.) then select Restart with same stipulation and players and straight away hit LB, rinse and repeat.

It took me 25 mins including load time to go from 10 brutalities to the 50 required.

*EDIT* Rightly pointed out in the comments "Danger" that is required for 1% health is not unlocked from the beginning and needs to be found in the Krypt, this can be found in the frozen graves at coordinates 2, 10 and should cost you 1,260 coins

Fastest way I stumbled upon while doing my Luck be a Lady achievement
(1 second per match + reloading time)

Play Test your luck (if you have only 1 Controller) or Kustom Kombat (with 2nd Controller) as Kenshi

1) Restart Test your Luck until you get the Brutality Modification (best chances with 7 Modifications rolling).
Kenshi has a pretty easy Brutality, you only have to perform a throw ( cn_LB ) and with the modification 1 throw is all you need to do to win the match.

2) If you´re not like me and you own a second Controller and have it unlocked - just start Kustom Combat, choose the Brutality Modification (Brutal Fighting) and there you go. Same as above without the need for restarting.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you dont like good ol´Kenshi - here is a List with all Brutalities and where to find them in the Krypt to pick your favourite wink
http://uk.ign.com/wikis/mortal-kombat-x/Brutalities?objectid...

Additional Info
If you have xp-boosting or Koin giving skins/backrounds and borders you can level pretty quick Faction / Player XP or Koins too. Match lasts a second, you get Flawless Victory, First Hit and Brutality and through this, Progression Awards.

For clarification, you must hold down after initiating the throw with kenshi for it to perform the brutality

I tried this several times with the "Brutality combat" modifier, he does nothing, just throws his opponent. I don't get it. DO I hold RT or something too?

You can do this with a second controller or with the CPU set to very easy.

I found that Raiden has one of the easier brutalities to do. When your opponent is low on health use the cn_downcn_rightcn_Y move and during the sequence while your opponent is getting shocked quickly hit cn_Ycn_Ycn_Y. You will then perform the brutality.

Erron Black also has a very easy brutality. When your enemy is low on health use the throw button cn_LB or cn_Xcn_A and hold cn_right during the sequence and you should perform it successfully

Kung Lao has a simple on too. Grab your opponent when he's low on life withcn_LB and hit cn_X 15 times and you should see the screen get dark and you will have done it successfully

You can also set the rounds to 1 if you like

This site has a list of all the brutalities in the game and tell you which variations go with each one. They have it in PS4 controls so remember that Triangle is Y, Sqaure is X, Circle is B, X is A and L1 is LT and R2 is RT

Might not be new but I've not seen it above. If you own the Kombat Pack 2 use Triborg.
His Brutality is really easy as it is just his X-Ray, performing it when the opponent is low and the throw of his head animation will defeat the opponent. No further requirements and no additional button inputs. This can be done in every fight and is very reliable.
If done right Triborg will throw his head bit instead of crushing against the opponents head it'll rip off the opponents head and Triborg takes over the body of the opponent, resulting in a Brutality.
Hope this helps getting to the 50 fast in normal play and without mindless grinding.

I think I don't have seen it here, but I found a easy and fast way to do it. I didn't complete it yet, but you can do it in less than 30min.

Just plug a 2nd controller or just set a single fight in very easy.
Set time of the round to 30sec.
Set time of rounds to 01.

Choose Raiden in your 1st controller against any character.
To do the Brutality, you will need to do at least in the round cn_down cn_right cn_Y and keep hitting cn_Y.
It has to be the final move as well, and keep hitting cn_Y to get the Brutality done.

After this, just choose Revenge and do it again about 50 times.

I found that Erron Black's X-Ray counts as a Brutality. Easy way to get this is to turn on "Brutality Combat" and "Infinite Super Meter" in Kustom Kombat mode with a 2nd Controller. Just prest cn_LT+cn_RT and your done. Have the match restart with same characters and modifiers 50 times (or however many you need to finish off the achievement).

Note: I'm not sure if these are both available but should be obtained through normal playthrough and using this as a cleanup achievement. If somebody can confirm in the comments.

The easiest Brutality I've found is Erron Black's default Brutality "Tunnel Vision".
All you need to do is finish the ending round with Erron's forward throw cn_right,cn_R1 or cn_right,cn_X+cn_S and it will activate.

Fast way to boost this would to be if you have the "Brutality Kombat" Modifier, is to grab a second controller and go into Kustom Kombat and use said modifier, it makes it so that brutalities can be preformed at time, so all you need to do is a forward throw at the start of the match and you'll do it automatically.

If you only have one controller you can play regular tower with it set to 1 round, or try Test your Luck and keep spinning reels until you get Brutality Kombat and from there rematch with the same reels.

Theoretically you could also do that in Test Your Luck if you don't have an additional controller but it would probably take a lot of resets

I unlocked this achievement pretty quickly by using Kenshi's "Used Up" Brutality. I set the number of rounds to win to 1, set the difficulty to very easy and went to town. When your opponent is near death, activate a throw using cn_LB or cn_X+cn_A. Make sure to hold cn_down during the final hit for the Brutality to work. Rinse and repeat until the achievement pops.

The easiest and quickest way I found was to have 2 controllers and set rounds to 1. Now go into two player and select player vs player, with pad 1 (your profile) select Liu Kang and with pad 2 (guest profile) select Kotal kahn, now simply use Liu Kang to beat Kahn down to the smallest amount of health and then pick up pad 2 and use Kahn's blood offering special move Towards, down, back cn_O to commit suicide and give Liu Kang a Brutality. Then just keep hitting rematch and repeat... Hope this helps.

Worked on this doing 1 v 1 Kustom Combat using Cassie Cage.

Modifier: Danger
Simply move back a few steps & perform her "Single Shot" move (cn_leftcn_rightcn_X).
Rinse and repeat to 50.

I have found one of the easiest ways that requires minimal effort to achieve.

Go to Main menu, go to options, gameplay, rounds 1 (time doesn't matter)

Now back out and go to one player, single fight and choose Johnny Cage (I choose A-List for the variation) and for a laugh I chose Cassie Cage (any character will work)

Put on very easy, once in match make sure you perform his move Eye Popper with cn_leftcn_downcn_A at least 3 times in the match, when char is at low health 10-15% use Eye popper again (for the fourth time) cn_leftcn_downcn_A and he will hit the head off for a Brutality.

This is quick and easy and just retry on when match ends

Also even easier method if you have two controllers is to go to two player, Kustom Modifier and choose Brutality combat.

With this on just use cn_leftcn_downcn_A and it will end the match with a brutality, retry and rinse and repeat smile

A Brutality is another kind of finishing move in the game and can be performed by doing specific tasks, such as winning one round with more than 50% of health or executing at least 3 special moves, etc.

You can see the specific requirements for each character pressing Options button and selecting Move List. The Brutalities can be found in Finishing Moves.

For easy and fast results, you can perform Takeda’s first Brutality called Armless which is one of the easiest brutalities in the whole game. Here are the requirements to perform this brutality:
  • Available in all Variations.
  • Player must press or 4 times during the final hit
  • Final hit must come from a throw or +
Playing with a second controller is the best option, but playing against the AI or with a boosting partner online works too.

Remember to wait until your enemy has 5-10% of health and grab your opponent with once you grab him(her) keep pressing OR at least 4 times and you will end the match with the Brutality label in the screen.

Repeat this process 50 times to gain the trophy.

The following characters also have very easy brutalities:
  • Raiden
  • Kung Lao
  • Shinnok
  • Erron Black
  • Reptile
  • D’Vorah
You can switch between all of them, so it doesn’t get too boring. It’s up to you.

Here is a video with all Brutalities in the game:

A brutality is a alternate finishing move to a fatality, the main difference being that they are performed BEFORE the match ends rather than after your opponent has been defeated. They also generally have specific requirements that need to be performed during the round and also while you input the commands. To see what is required to pull off a fighter's brutality, you can check under the Finishing Moves section of the Moves List. If you have two controllers there is a very easy way to grind these out, start a match using the following settings:

  • Select Two Player -> Kustom Match from the menu.
  • Select Shinnok for your fighter and whoever you want for the second controller.
  • Select the 'Danger' modifier for both players, this will start both fighters at 1% health, and start the match.
  • As soon as the fight begins immediately use Shinnok's Brutality, (HOLD) , to end the match.

Using this method is should only take around 30-40 minutes to grind this one out. As soon as your have performed your final brutality the achievement will unlock. If you don't have a second controller you can still use this method it will just take a little luck to set it up. Go to One Player > Test Your Luck and set up a match on Very Easy with one modifier. Now, the modifiers here are selected randomly but you can keep restarting the match until you get the 'Danger' modifier. Use the same method shown above but at the end of the match choose Rematch Same Modifiers and repeat until the achievement is unlocked.

It seemed to me that the easiest way to make brutality is playing as Milena. Just when the enemy has little health left, make a Milestone tackle I’ll add that this needs to be done at the end of the second round. Do this 50 times and you will get yours

For those who struggle with key combinations, Erron Black has the simplest:

holding or roll on (finish off the enemy at the end of the battle). No other conditions are required.

You can view statistics on brutality - additional materials/autonomous battle history/rewards for completing.

Let's watch brutality! To get the trophy, you must complete level 6 + 6 brutality.

If there are characters from XL, then one of the easiest for Tremor is L2+R2, (hold), in other words, at the end of the battle you just do X-Ray and hold it on the stick or d-pad .

The easiest way is for subziro, when the enemy has little HP, it usually comes out in the second round, you just need to go up and press grab. The enemy's life should be within one normal hit.

You can also play for Kitana. Everything is simple there too. In the last round you need to do: Back, Forward, X, and Kitana will cut off the head. And Reptile also seems to be easy. You have to spit three times during the fight and the last fourth time you also have to spit acid in your face. The blocks count, the main thing is to hit them. Quite a popular technique.

Enter the “Custom Battle”, set the “Battle Brutality” modifier and do any brutality. Then “Repeat the battle” and again.
