Rotating Beams,^[1] also known as spinning beams,^[2] are obstacles in Fall Guys. They were first introduced in legacy Season 1.

Rotating Beams are coloured beams which, with a central axis, rotate in a certain direction. Their hit can launch the player far away. Season 3 introduced a "broken" variation in Hoop Chute, which allows for players to dive slide underneath them. Rotating Beams come in single, double, and triple varieties. While Rotating Beams are usually bouncy (not unlike obstacles in the Bumper family), axes in the Festival theme, as well as those in the Space theme with double beams, are safe to land on.

Appearances

Airtime

A section in Airtime contains a single 360° see-saw carrying a Rotating Beam.

Big Fans

Sometimes, Rotating Beams that annoy players can appear and are placed on some of the Fans in the Level Big Fans.

Bubble Trouble

As of Season 5.Fun, a large Rotating Beam may be found over the central spinning plate on Bubble Trouble. Additionally, the rotating wall on the rotating wall zone may be replaced with a quadruple Rotating Beam.

Dizzy Heights

A variation of Dizzy Heights has platforms with beams instead of Spinning Plates. In another variation, a big Rotating Beam and some normal-sized spinning plates substitute the final section with the giant Spinning Plates. In another version, there are some platforms with Rotating Beams that substitute the giant Spinning Plates.

Full Tilt

In the first section of Full Tilt, two 360° see-saws contain Rotating Beams in instead of the usual cone.^[3]

Hit Parade

Hit Parade has a variation with these obstacles replacing the Turnstiles.

Hoop Chute

Hoop Chute features a pair of Rotating Beams right after where the starting Slime Slides converge into a large open space. These beams are unique in that they are crooked, allowing beans who are sliding to sneak underneath them without getting knocked over.

Hyperdrive Heroes

Hyperdrive Heroes features three section with Rotating Beams. The second section contains a double Rotating Beam with a Conveyor Belt. The next section contains three Rotating Beams; the first two are single Rotating Beams, and the third is a double. The final section also contains a double Rotating Beam in the middle.

Jump Club

Jump Club's main goal is to stay alive while two big Rotating Beams rotate faster as time goes by, by jumping when the beam passes. The top beam is a pink, large, double one, while the bottom beam is green and can be a single, double, or triple.

Jump Showdown

Jump Showdown's main mechanic is to stay alive while two gold beams rotate faster as time goes by, by jumping when the beam passes. It is typically more challenging than Jump Club as the parts of the platform players are standing on break off and fall as the games progresses.

Lily Leapers

As of Season 5.Fun, several Rotating Beams may be mounted on the walls on the water section of Lily Leapers.

Lost Temple

One of the rooms in Lost Temple has a Rotating Beam at its center. Like all Rotating Beams, they can knock players down and make them lose time.

Perfect Match

A variation of Perfect Match (known as "Perfect Deathmatch"), added in Season 2.5, features a big Rotating Beam in the centre of the playable surface, to add difficulty to the game.

Pipe Dream

A single Rotating Beam appears on the left platform of the fourth section of Pipe Dream, rotating alongside several Bumpers.

Power Trip

As of Season 4.5, the central upper area in Power Trip may feature a Rotating Beam at its center.

Puzzle Path

Puzzle Path features a chamber with a spinning beam at its center. These can knock down players who are too focused on the path on the ground.

Skyline Stumble

As of Season 4.5, The section of Skyline Stumble that normally has Light Swingers will instead feature a Rotating Beam. This particular beam is slightly disfigured, meaning it reaches further on the axis facing the finish line than the one on the side.^{[citation needed]}

Tail Tag

In a variation of the game Tail Tag, a Rotating Beam is placed in the centre instead of the Rotating Hammer.

The Swiveller

The Swiveller features a pair of Rotating Beams at one of its sections.

The Whirlygig

The Whirlygig features Rotating Beams in lots of sections, sometimes on round platforms.

Treetop Tumble

As of Season 5.Fun, the expanding frogs mounted on the spinning plates right at the beginning of the upper path of Treetop Tumble may be replaced with Rotating Beams.

Fall Guys Creative

In Fall Guys Creative, Rotating Beams cost 20 budget, and only 50 can be placed in a Level. Initially, they could only be placed with their respective plates, but the Summer Breeze Update gave Creators the ability to remove them.

When a Spinning Plate Maze's obstacle is set to "Beam", it becomes a Rotating Beam Maze. Additionally, unused variants exist in the game files:

• Rotating Beam (Short): A smaller Rotating Beam, like the ones in Hit Parade.
• Jump Club: A set of beams, likely in the style of those in Jump Club and Jump Showdown.
