PEAK Patch 2.02.a Targets Frog Power and Unreachable Amulet Spawns
The patch reduces frog tongue range and cooldown, restores the previous rope-grab behavior, and adds fixes for gliders, ghosts, localization, and more.
PEAK Patch 2.02.a was announced on August 18, bringing another round of frog nerfs alongside a fix for amulet statues that could spawn inside rocks. The Peak Team detailed the changes in its Steam announcement.
The balance pass cuts the frog’s maximum tongue distance from 22m to 18m, narrows its maximum tongue angle from 16° to 14°, and increases the cooldown from 10 seconds to 12 seconds. Rope grabbing also returns to its previous behavior after the stamina cost introduced in the last patch was reversed.
Several item interactions have been adjusted, too. Pandora’s Lunchbox can now sometimes inflict Curse, ignores Invincibility when applying statuses, and cooking the Book of Bones no longer provides a benefit. The Jester Achievement also requires two Clown Luggages instead of three for now.
On the bug-fix side, improved map generation should keep Amulet statues from appearing inside rocks. The update also addresses Scout’s Generosity cloning problems, checkpoint issues, glider behavior and networking, Big Ghost spawn positions, color-blind visibility for the Arrow Shooter, and a Traditional Chinese localization error.
Patch 2.02.a follows our coverage of PEAK’s 2.01.a patch, which also focused on frogs and bugs that could interrupt a climb. The latest notes are below in full.
PEAK Patch 2.02.a Notes
This update mainly changes frog encounters, a few item effects, and rope movement while cleaning up map-generation problems, broken checkpoint states, glider issues, and several visual bugs.
BALANCE CHANGES
- Reduced number of Clown Luggages needed to complete the Jester Achievement from 3 -> 2. May rework this achievement entirely later.
- In the last patch we introduced a nerf to ropes by making it cost stamina to start grabbing them based on your distance from the rope. Since exploiting that lack of stamina cost is mostly a speedrunner technique and otherwise doesn’t affect gameplay much, we’ve reverted this change. Go nuts!
- MORE FROG NERFS (fine you guys win)
- Max Tongue Distance 22m->18m
- Max Tongue Angle 16°->14°
- Cooldown 10s->12s
- Pandora’s Lunchbox can now add some Curse to you sometimes. Use at your own risk…
- Pandora’s Lunchbox will ignore Invincibility when adding statuses to you. It was just a bit too good, sorry!!
- Cooking the Book of Bones will no longer provide any benefit.
FIXES
- Improved map generation to prevent Amulet statues spawning inside of rocks and making the Amulet unobtainable.
- Basic scout hats and berets should now be properly textured to match new costumes.
- The Scout’s Generosity amulet can no longer clone Scout Effigy. As a note, the Checkpoint Flag and other Amulets are also not cloneable.
- Color Blindness Mode will now make the Arrow Shooter “laser” more visible for those with red-green color blindness.
- Anti-gravity spheres shot from the Antizooka now only last one minute to prevent soft-locks by placing one atop an unlit campfire.
- Fixed the sprite that appears when unlocking the sash after completing Ascent 8.
- Fixed a localization issue where Traditional Chinese text would display in Simplified Chinese.
- Fixed the Bing Bong Airlines logo appearing backwards on the helicopter :)
- Thickened the colliders on wrought-iron fences to reduce the likelihood of the player ragdoll getting stuck in them.
- Fixed another scenario where the checkpoint flag could leave scouts in a broken state on another player’s screen.
- Looker rocks should once again match the biome they’re in
- Fixed an issue where cloning the jetpack with Scout’s Generosity created a jetpack with maximum fuel.
- Glider fixes:
- The Glider no longer gives forward momentum when ragdolled, such as when using the Play Dead emote.
- Fixed the Glider’s networking so the positions of players using it are synced properly.
- The glider now rotates forward in your hands when out of stamina as a visual indicator of its power being disabled.
- The Glider now protects you from the sun’s heat in MESA.
- Big Ghosts will now avoid spawning directly underneath players better.
- Fixed an issue where Big Ghosts could sometimes spawn slightly too high underground, giving you less time to react to them after they spawned.
