Mortal Kombat 1‘s third Kombat Pack character is Peacemaker, a violent vigilante from the DC Universe whose moves, combos, and fatalities reinforce his ideals of upholding peace at any cost. From the streaming series of the same name, Peacemaker is a versatile fighter with unique tricks up his sleeve. When paired with a loyal Kameo, this character has the potential to take down even the strongest warriors from any Realm.
Unlike the long-range abilities of Quan-Chi or the lethal up-close brawling of Omni-Man in Mortal Kombat 1, Peacemaker takes a balanced approach. This character has many options from anywhere on the screen using their signature helmet, which comes equipped with many gadgets. It is recommended that you go into Practice mode to experiment with Peacemaker’s move list and prepare for future battles.

The Best Kameos For Peacemaker
The best Kameo characters in Mortal Kombat 1 for Peacemaker are Stryker, Kung Lao, and Sektor since each of these fighters has moves that complement his gameplay. Stryker has powerful grenades that can cover Peacemaker’s approach toward a rival fighter. This makes up for Peacemaker’s somewhat slow movement and allows you to get in on opponents who try to keep you away.
Kung Lao serves a similar purpose, but with many more advantages than you might expect. The Hat Teleport move on this Kameo gives you a way to approach enemies quickly and confuse them with attacks like Activate Anti-Gravity. The Low Hat attack from Kung Lao also gives you an opportunity to establish offense safely, giving you a chance to apply pressure and drive your opponent into a corner in Mortal Kombat 1.
The final Kameo that could work with Peacemaker, Sektor, is an excellent option for those who want to keep their distance during a match. Peacemaker’s Force Multiplier and Eagley projectiles make him a menace from full screen, especially since he can eliminate enemy zoning with Activate Force Field. Sektor’s missile attacks cover gaps in your long-range attacks, letting you fill the screen with bullets and explosives.
How To Play Peacemaker
Peacemaker excels at mid-range combat that utilizes tricky mix-up moves to catch your opponents off guard. Several throws at the end of Peacemaker’s basic attacks can easily damage an enemy fighter that is too focused on defending themselves from your other moves. The special moves of Peacemaker make up the core of this character by giving you many ways to open up your opponent over and over.
Fighters in
Mortal Kombat 1
cannot block Low attacks while standing, even if they are blocking in that position. Similarly, Overhead attacks cannot be blocked while an opponent is crouching.
Rely on Eagley to enforce tricky situations such as the quick low attack from Peacemaker’s Ground-Air Offensive special move. Use Activate Force Field and Activate Sonic Boom to react defensively to your opponent’s actions, while other attacks like Activate Anti-Gravity can help close the distance. The key to success with Peacemaker is to play unpredictably and brash, much like the character’s personality.
“Oh, I Remember This” – Mortal Kombat 1 Review
Mortal Kombat 1 reboots the series for the second time in 30 years, and while the fighting is good it’s clear everyone is unsure how to move forward.
Sample Peacemaker Kombos
Many of Peacemaker’s basic attack strings can be canceled into special moves to lead to full combos in Mortal Kombat 1. Many Kameo fighters have attacks that can extend these combos, but you may want to become familiar with some simple strings before diving into anything too complex. Here are some basic combos to get you started (with PS5 inputs):
- Triangle, Triangle, Square + X -> Down, Back, Circle (Beautiful Bird Bullet) -> Back, Forward, Triangle (Activate Human Torpedo!)
- Forward + Circle, Square, Triangle -> Down, Forward, Circle (Ground-Air Offensive) -> Triangle, Triangle, Square + X -> Down, Back, Circle (Beautiful Bird Bullet)
- Triangle, Triangle -> Back, Forward, X (Activate Sonic Boom) -> Dash Forward -> Forward + Circle, Square, Triangle -> Back, Forward, Triangle (Activate Human Torpedo!)
You can substitute any of the final special moves in these combos for a Fatal Blow, a powerful super move you can use once per round when your health is dangerously low. This attack can be activated by pressing both L2 + R2 at the same time. For more combos with Peacemaker, check out a very detailed video by YouTube creator ahmz1404 that has both simple and advanced sequences for the character.
How To Do Peacemaker’s Fatalities
Peacemaker’s fatality finishing moves can only be performed once you have won a match and performed a complex input. This button sequence also depends on how close you are to your opponent’s stunned character. You can unlock fatalities in Mortal Kombat 1 by leveling up Peacemaker, but you are able to activate these gory attacks at any point as long as you use the right input.

While it may take you some time to adjust to Peacemaker’s unorthodox style of fighting compared to other characters, these fatalities will be your reward for learning how to win. All the moves, combos, and fatalities for Peacemaker in Mortal Kombat 1 make them one of the most interesting fighters in the franchise’s history for you to enjoy.
