The Mesa biome update in PEAK introduces a harsh desert landscape filled with environmental hazards like extreme temperatures, venomous wildlife, and dense vegetation. Previously exclusive to Alpine zones, Capybaras now roam this arid region, offering players new opportunities for interaction.

Guide to Locating Capybaras in PEAK’s Mesa Region

These semi-aquatic rodents tend to congregate near shaded oasis areas within the desert biome. Due to their heat sensitivity, they favor cooler microclimates created by rocky outcroppings or sparse vegetation. Observing their social patterns reveals they rarely linger in open sunlight, preferring communal resting spots near water sources.

Mirage effects pose unique detection challenges—distant water reflections might initially suggest Capybara presence, but these illusions dissolve upon closer approach. Seasoned players recommend using telescopic tools to verify sightings before expending resources on fruitless expeditions. If unsuccessful, map rotations between biomes typically refresh spawn points every 24-48 game hours.

Optimal hunting strategies include:
– Scanning wetland peripheries at dawn/dusk cycles
– Monitoring thermal signatures through specialized gear
– Tracking herd movement patterns via environmental clues
