Rain in Peak Mountain fundamentally changes climbing dynamics by impacting movement and resource management. Mastering its mechanics can turn treacherous storms into manageable obstacles.
Core Rain Mechanics
-
Biome-specific: Occurs randomly in Tropical zones
-
Speed reduction: 25-40% slower climbing on wet surfaces
-
Stamina penalty: Drains 15% faster per minute of continuous climbing
-
Shelter protection: Indoor areas negate all weather effects
-
Non-lethal: Causes no direct health damage
Advanced Storm Strategies
-
Segment climbs: Tackle routes in 30-second bursts to preserve stamina
-
Equipment priority: Deploy 2x more anchors than usual on slippery ascents
-
Weather awareness: Monitor cloud patterns to predict rain duration
-
Resource allocation: Allocate 35% of inventory space to stamina-restoring items
-
Alternative paths: Use rain to access water-dependent shortcuts
FAQ
Does rain always appear in the Tropics biome?
Rainstorms only occur in Tropical zones, appearing in 60% of expeditions to these areas.
Can rain damage your health?
While slippery surfaces increase fall risks, rain itself doesn’t cause direct health loss.
Do interiors stay dry during rain?
Any covered structure provides complete protection from rain effects, restoring normal climbing mechanics.
