Rain in Peak intensifies gameplay by altering climbing mechanics. While it adds atmosphere, the **reduced traction** and **accelerated stamina drain** create real challenges for navigation and survival.

This dynamic weather primarily occurs in the **Tropics biome**, leaving indoor areas unaffected. Wet surfaces demand careful strategy to avoid exhaustion or failed ascents.

Key Rain Mechanics

• Triggers randomly in Tropics zones

• Reduces climbing speed on exposed surfaces

• Causes worsening stamina depletion over time

• Sheltered interiors remain dry with normal effects

• No health penalties from rain itself

Tactical Rain Survival Guide

• **Segment climbs** – tackle shorter sections to prevent burnout

• Prioritize **rope anchors** and **piton placements** on slippery rocks

• Take refuge under cover during intense downpours if stamina is critical

• Stockpile **high-energy food** for stamina recovery between climbs

• Treat extended outdoor routes as **high-risk endeavors** during storms
