There are quite a few different kinds of fruits that you need to beware of. The trajectory of the 'round' fruits, such as apples and oranges, is predictable enough, and they are easily dodgeable. However, it would be best if you looked out for deflections in the form of other players, which can affect the trajectory.

Other types of fruits might be oval, such as watermelons, or crescent-shaped, such as bananas. These fruits have an awkward trajectory and can tilt more towards one side. Further, there is also a stick that spawns at the finish line. It generally tends to stay towards the middle, and therefore, staying to the sides will allow you to dodge it most of the time.

Moreover, some strawberries and blueberries spawn out of cannons at the back, but they are also easy to dodge. The first thing to remember is not to be hasty about jumping off the platform onto the conveyer belt. You are better off taking stock of where the majority of the fruits are coming from, and then jumping.

Also, diving just before you jump is recommended, as it allows your character to stand up quicker. Secondly, you should stick to one side, as most obstacles tend to come from the center, including the wooden stick. The pink triangles towards the sides can offer cover from the incoming barrage of fruits.

While the above tips are sure to help, you need to be aware of your surroundings and stay towards the side until you reach the final platform. For further help with this mini-game in Fall Guys, you can watch the video below.

For now, Fall Guys is only available on PCs and PS4, and all sources saying otherwise are simply scams.
