Fall Guys’huge surge in popularity has caused some issues for the game, with tons of players meaning tons of server issues as tech support struggles to keep up with the numbers.

Given the popularity ofFall Guys, it makes sense that many brands are asking for crossovers, and Mediatonic is once again honoring Valve’s games. Those who pre-ordered the game on Steam got to turn their beans intoGordon Freeman wearing a Headcrabin an homage toHalf-Life. Unfortunately, that cosmetic was an exclusive, but all players will get the opportunity to deck their beans out in the red shirt, wrapped hands, dog tags, and ballcap/earpiece combo thatTF2’s Scout is known for.
The wacky skins are one of the best parts ofFall Guys, and are proven to be a popular way for fans to pay homage to favorite video game characters or public figures, like theDr DisrespectFall Guysskinfan mock-up. It turns out there’s a surprising amount of variation and customization that can be created in a game about little bean-shaped creatures.
Half-Lifewas arguably the more popular Valve game, but many fans know and loveTF2and will be excited to see one of their favorite old shooters combined with a hot new game. Sadly, the skin doesn’t give players a Boston accent and a baseball bat, but cosmetics have their limitations. While they’re very different games, bothFall GuysandTF2are silly and at times outright hilarious, withScout’s domination linesmaking his sense of humor something manyFall Guysfans will appreciate.
WithMediatonic’s quick response to the server issuesand promise to put solving maintenance problems as a top priority, the future is looking bright for this colorful battle royale. Hopefully, fans will get even more cool skins and cosmetics to add to their beans, with more homages to classic video games thatFall Guysplayers love.
