When you first start your journey in PEAK, you won’t have many ways to customize your scout. To unlock more cosmetics, players will need to complete achievements, also called badges. Some badges are easy to figure out just by their name, but others can be a bit confusing. One of those tricky ones is the Survivalist achievement.

The Survivalist badge is definitely one of the tougher ones to unlock in PEAK. But if the player manages to complete it, they will be rewarded with a cool outfit for their scout. In this guide, we’ll go over what you need to do to earn the Survivalist badge and what you will get once you do.

PEAK Survivalist Badge/ Achievement

To get the Survivalist badge, you’ll need to finish your entire run without passing out even once. That means you can’t lose consciousness at any point. Basically, don’t get knocked out. There are many ways your character can get knocked out in PEAK, so you will need to be extra careful. If your character gets too hungry and you don’t feed them in time, they will pass out. Falling from high places can also knock you out, so watch your step.

Another thing to look out for is the lethargy status. This can happen if you eat something like a Napberry, which makes your character fall asleep instantly. Your teammate can also accidentally knock you out if they hit you with a blowgun dart, since those carry the lethargy effect too.

To avoid getting knocked out, there are a few simple tips you can follow. First, PEAK fans should always keep an eye on their hunger bar. There’s a lot of food around, but not everything is safe to eat. Some berries, like Green Crispberries and Yellow Kingberries, are poisonous. The safest option is packaged food. You can also safely eat Marshmallows that you find near campfires.

Another important tip is to avoid falling from heights. To make climbing safer and easier, you can use helpful items like Magic Beans, the Chain Cannon, or the Anti-Rope Cannon. These tools can really come in handy during tricky parts of your climb. And yes, stay away from items that can make your scout pass out. Things like the Big Lollipop, Napberries, and Blowgun can give you the lethargy status, which knocks you out right away. If you are unsure about an item, it’s best not to use it.

Once you complete the Survivalist badge, you’ll unlock the Scoutmaster Outfit as a reward.
