The environment is your greatest ally and deadliest foe. True mastery of Gang Beasts involves not just fighting opponents, but fighting the stage itself, and using it to your advantage.
- Ledge Hanging as a Tactic: Sometimes, intentionally falling and hanging from a ledge can bait opponents into coming closer, allowing you to pull them down with you.
- Using Destructible Elements: On stages like 'Building,' breaking walls can create new pathways or expose opponents to falls.
- Riding Hazards: On stages with moving platforms or vehicles, learn to ride them safely while trying to throw opponents off. For example, staying on top of the truck in 'Trucks' while fighting.
- Cornering Opponents: Use walls and stage boundaries to limit an opponent's movement, making them easier to grab and throw.
- Leveraging Physics: Understand how your weight and momentum interact with the environment. A well-timed jump or swing can send you or your opponent flying.
Always be aware of your surroundings and think several steps ahead about how the stage can be used to secure a victory.
