All 64 PEAK Badges and How to Get Them

How badges work

• Badges show on your sash and in the Accolades screen of the pause menu. Unearned ones are greyed out with a “?”.
• Every badge unlocks one cosmetic (hat, outfit or face item).
• All 32 original badges unlock the Crown; all 64 unlock the Ascendant Medal.
• Any difficulty counts, including Tenderfoot, except Undead Encounter and Mentorship.
• Custom runs never award badges.
• Progress that spans one expedition survives a disconnect and campfire saves.

Badges that need the right island

Some badges can only be earned when the daily island rolls a particular region or object. Check today’s lineup before planning a badge run:

Tips for the tricky ones

• 24 Karat and Esoterica: covered step by step in the Tomb guide.
• Jester: see the clown luggage guide; most islands have enough boxes.
• Plunderer: 15 luggage is easy on Mesa days, which average far more boxes than Alpine days. The luggage types guide has the numbers.
• Bellringer: a Gloom island has 7 belltowers; ring the five closest to your path.
• Rule Zero: requires the Ascent 8 ending with all four amulets.
• Clutch: needs three revives in one run; an Ancient Statue can bring several scouts back at once.
• Medieval History: patches 2.5.a and 2.6.b fixed cases where loading a save or being revived in the Gloom or Citadel blocked it, so it is fair game again.
