Peak Explores The Roots Update Today
Aggro Crab and Landfall's popular co-op climbing game, Peak, is getting even stranger with its latest free update. The Roots update brings new challenges and enhances the gameplay for groups trying to survive intense climbs.
New Biome: The Pacific Northwest Forest
The update introduces a dense forest biome inspired by the Pacific Northwest. Players now climb tall trees, facing new obstacles regardless of party size. The environment is both beautiful and dangerous.
Giant Insects and Environmental Hazards
Players must contend with giant spiders that can trap climbers in webs and drop them, risking long falls. Native mushrooms can be eaten but might cause zombie-like symptoms, adding a mysterious element to foraging.
Cooking System Enhancements
- The update tweaks the cooking mechanics, allowing players to see effects on non-food items placed in fire, encouraging experimentation.
- Poison can now be cooked out of berries, making them safe to eat, but mushrooms remain hazardous and should be approached with caution.
"Players can also munch on the native mushrooms they find... They may or may not cause some zombie-ism."
The full patch notes are available on Steam for those seeking detailed information.
