How do you Throw a Curveball in Knockout City?
If you’re finding yourself constantly getting hit with balls that seem to come out of nowhere, it’s because your enemy is using a tactic in Knockout City‘s matches called a ‘Curveball’.
A curveball makes it much more difficult to catch or evade from so it’s best you learn this trick straight off the bat. To do it, all you have to do is this:
- On PC, press the E key to spin the ball and then aim in the direction of your opponent
- On PS4 and Xbox controller, jump in the air by pressing X or A (depending on the controller layout) then hit the circle or B button and R2/RT to throw the curveball.
It’s as simple as that. The longer you hold onto the ball by charging it up – hold R2 on PS4 controller/RT Xbox/Left click on mouse – the bigger the impact it will have on your enemy and the greater chance of a knockout.
