Big Shots is one of the levels in Fall Guys. It is a SURVIVAL level and was first introduced in Season 4 (Legacy).[1]
Course description[]
Standard version[]
Players spawn on top of a see-saw while three cannons shoot various projectiles at them, including stars, magnets, saturns, and game controllers. A certain quota of players are eliminated, but if this quota is not reached after 1:30, all remaining players qualify for the next round.
Alternate versions[]
Starting from the Season 4.5 (Legacy) update, the following variants may appear:
- A Swinging Axe may appear in the center of the see saw.
- The cannons may shoot fruit instead of the usual projectiles. This version cannot appear along with the five-cannon version mentioned below.
- Two more cannons can be added. These shoot out objects with less force, allowing them to hit the see saw. This version cannot appear along with the fruit cannons version mentioned above.
- A Pegwin may appear.
Spartan Showdown / Blast Ball Bangers[]
In this playlist only:
- Two Blast Ball cannons replace two of the usual cannons.
During the Spartan Showdown Live Event :
- A Lost Helmet is located above the middle of the see saw.
Course Strategy[]
Standard version[]
Big Shots is a fairly straightforward round involving dodging projectiles. If possible, try to stay away from the far ends of the see saw; the ends can dip into the slime, which can eliminate you if you're not careful. Avoid being too close to the edges as well, as being too far back will make it a lot easier for projectiles to knock you into the slime, while being too close to the front will make you susceptible to grabbers.
Alternate versions[]
- Positioning yourself in-between the cannons should enable you to position yourself out of the way of the axe.
- For some reason the fruit version is more tame than the normal variant. Expect to see this round timing out if this variant is the one selected.
- The extra cannons makes this version considerably more challenging as there are less safer areas and a higher frequency of obstacles. Employ the same strategies as before but be more careful as to not get knocked into the slime. On the plus side, this variant tends to end sooner as it is more likely to eliminate players. Just try to make sure you're not one of them.
- Yeet it, yeet it, yeet it off the map
Final Variant[]
A Final type variant was introduced in the Silent's Memories playlist on 17 November 2022. In this variant, all players that survive 1 minute and 30 seconds will win.
Any of the variants might appear (except for the blast ball one), but Big Shots tends to frequently time out in normal rounds anyway. Simply utilise the same strategies for surviving, dodge anything coming your way, and refrain from sabotaging others.
Known Bugs[]
Inactivated Cannons*
- As of ?/?/??: As the round starts, the cannons will shoot a few seconds and no longer shoot anything. This bug could be only seen in the alternate version in which the cannons are shooting fruits
- A content update on 10 November 2023 removed this alternate version temporarily.
*This name is a conjectural name and has not been somewhat uniformly agreed upon.
Medal thresholds[]
- Gold - Qualified
- No medal - Eliminated

Trivia[]
- In Slime Survivors, the timer for this round used to be increased to 5:00 instead of the usual 1:30.
- This is no longer the case as of Season 2, which reverted the timer back to 1:30 for this show.
- In Season 3, this round no longer used the Season 4 (Legacy) Survival song Future Utobeania, but instead, the same song used for Race and Hunt rounds, Falling Stars (Chugu Bam Bam). This was likely a mistake, with the change later being reverted in the Summer Breeze Update.
