Mortal Kombat 11 Friendships list: How to perform all Friendships

Mortal Kombat 11 Friendships are comical finishers added to the game in a free update alongside May 2020's Aftermath DLC.

Originally a feature of Mortal Kombat 2 all the way back in 1993, NetherRealm has brought them back as an alternative to the various fatalities every character has.

By inputting a specific series of buttons at the end of a fight, it's possible to perform these amusing finishers which range from cuddling a giant toy bear to doing motorcycle tricks across the screen.

Friendships, like fatalities, can be tricky to pull off. Learning exactly what buttons to press and where to stand is crucial to pulling these off in a match - there's nothing sadder than flailing around at the end of a match as you fail to perform your chosen finisher.

As well as a full list of Mortal Kombat 11 Friendships, we have the following explainers:

What is a Friendship and how do they work in Mortal Kombat 11?

Friendships are playful finishers that you can be performed by the winner of a match.

If you stand in the right spot and input the correct button inputs, you'll successfully execute the finisher, adding a touch of glamour to proceedings, rather than the brutality of a fatality.

Every character in Mortal Kombat 11 - including DLC characters - come with their own unique Friendship, each with a specific input required to perform the move.

Each character's Friendship is available immediately once you download Mortal Kombat 11's May 2020 'Aftermath' update - though you don't need to purchase the DLC, or have to search the Krypt - in order to use them.

If you're struggling to perform a Friendship, an easier input can be used instead at the cost of one Easy Fatality Koin.

How to perform Friendships in Mortal Kombat 11

Friendships in Mortal Kombat 11 rely on specific button inputs, which are as follows:

When trying to use a Friendship at the end of a match, you also have to take into consideration the range between yourself and your opponent. These ranges include Close, Mid, and Far:

• Close: You should be as close as possible - though you can also take one or two steps back, depending on how large your character is.

• Mid: This leaves some room between each character and the edge of the screen. You can measure this by leaping from the opponent's position, then taking an extra step back.

• Far: This sees both characters at opposite ends of the screen. You can do this by leaping back twice, then taking an additional step.
