How to Unlock the Astronomy Badge in PEAK

by

In PEAK, the game has received its first significant upgrade, featuring a fresh Biome named Mesa, along with an array of new accolades or badges for players to earn. One such badge to pursue is the “Examine the Searing Sun” award. Although the directive seems clear, players can only strive to unlock this badge under specific circumstances and using particular tools. Here’s a guide on how you can achieve the Astronomy badge in PEAK:

1. Navigate to the Mesa Biome in your game world.
2. Look for the blazing sun during daytime within the Mesa Biome.
3. Observe the sun closely using the telescope or binoculars (if available).
4. Complete a specific task related to observing the sun, which will be revealed once you have the correct tools and conditions in place.
5. Once you’ve completed the task, the “Examine the Searing Sun” badge should become available for you to claim.

How to ‘Look Closely at the Blazing Sun’ in PEAK (Unlock Astronomy Badge)

Players must initially navigate their way to the “Mesa biome” within the game “PEAK”. During the initial week of release, access to the third biome will be restricted to Mesa, providing a unique opportunity for players to explore new content. After this first week, normal map rotations will resume. This setup makes it more convenient for players to accomplish this task and earn the “Astronomy badge” by focusing on the blazing sun.

Before heading into the Mesa biome, make sure you have binoculars with you in your pack. Upon arrival at Mesa, you’ll find that the sun is harsh and may cause burn to your character. To avoid this, seek out a shaded spot to stand and use the binoculars to observe. Once the sun emerges from behind clouds, use your binoculars to view the blazing sun. This action will earn you the Astronomy badge, and a congratulatory message should appear on your screen as well.

If the Astronomy badge doesn’t appear, don’t forget to magnify the view using your binoculars’ zoom function until it does.

Where to Find Binoculars in PEAK

In PEAK, binoculars are an essential item that players should carry. They help in identifying climbable paths, making them indispensable tools during gameplay. Not only do they aid in navigation, but they’re also necessary for earning the Astronomy badge achievement. Fortunately, obtaining these handy devices is relatively straightforward.

A great spot to locate binoculars is near the shore where the plane crashed, specifically in the initial zone. The binoculars are often found close to the wreckage of the aircraft, usually to the right side of the back compartment. However, it’s possible they might not be there, so remember to search for abandoned luggage throughout the different biomes as well, since that could lead you to a pair of binoculars.
