PEAK has a long list of achievements, represented by Badges. While you can get them during your solo expeditions, you need to earn the others while playing in a team, so make sure you bring some friends along for the ride.
Here’s how to earn every achievement in PEAK.

Which is the easiest way to get all PEAK achievements?
I suggest playing PEAK at the Tenderfoot difficulty level to earn all the achievements easily. That’s because when you play at this difficulty level:
- Climbing takes less stamina
- Hunger grows more slowly
- No time limit
These reasons make the perfect recipe to learn the game from scratch, especially when you’re teaming up with friends, and the fun factor will also remain intact, as there are fewer things you have to worry about.
Tenderfoot is the first difficulty level of the game, after which the default setting comes (Peak). Once you complete the game in Peak difficulty, you can also unlock Ascent 1, Ascent 2, Ascent 3, Ascent 4, Ascent 5, Ascent 6, and Ascent 7, sequentially.
