How to Get the Leave No Trace Badge in PEAK

Climbing the mountain in PEAK is already tough, and you usually need to use a lot of items to make it to the top. But for the Leave No Trace badge, things are a bit different. To get Leave No Trace, players need to literally leave no trace behind. In PEAK, some items like Coconuts and Medkits are one-time use and disappear after you use them. But there are other items that stay on the mountain after being used.

To get the Leave No Trace badge, players have to avoid using items that stay behind on the island. This means you can’t place things like Rope Spools, Rope Launchers, Chain Launchers, Pitons, or Portable Stoves. These items are pretty useful, which is what makes this badge really hard to get. One important thing to point out here is that you can still use Magic Beans and Shelf Shrooms to get through tricky spots. These items create climbing structures, but don’t count against the badge, so they are safe to use.

If you are new to PEAK, or you’ve been struggling to get the Leave No Trace badge, it would be a good idea to choose an easier difficulty. Tenderfoot is the easiest mode in the game, and it makes things way less stressful. In this mode, your character uses less stamina while climbing, and you won’t get hungry as quickly. This makes the climb way more manageable.

Once players complete the Leave No Trace achievement, they will unlock the Incognito Mask as a reward. And who knows, during your awesome run, you might complete some other achievements too, like Naturalist, where you have to reach the top without eating any packaged food.
