How to be at the peak

Desktop update peak Introducing the reconnaissance cannon, and with it the infamous Cannon fault. As the name suggests, the reconnaissance cannon allows the player to shoot at a large distance. However, the glitch makes it possible to skip the entire area completely, potentially reaching its peak without sweating.
A glitch was discovered shortly after Mesa's update, which introduced a biome of the same name. The developers are Patch 1.25.aAnd some changes were applied in the game. If you're wondering how to do a Scout Cannon Glitch on the Peak and if it's still working after the patch, we've covered you.
How to perform cannon failure in peak
A few cannon failures at the summit will take to fall into place. Since each new run is randomly generated, this means that the project is always different and it can take a while.
For beginners, this is what your failure needs:
- Reconnaissance cannon, this is project Added in MESA update.
- Flare.
- Backpack.
- And, last but not least, the quick hand.
Scout cannons have a chance to appear in the suitcase, although the price is low. For reference, I restarted about 20 matches and saw only three reconnaissance cannons.

The burr works best if you operate from the start point of the run of the shore biome, which means that if you want to save time, you can only open any luggage close to the starting point. If you don't see the cannon in it, please continue to restart and try again.
It is also beneficial to fail from this location, because there will always be one Flare and Backpack Nearby – You can get them from a crashed plane and from the coast, respectively.
Now, it's time to prepare the cannon. A good reference point is located to the right of a broken flat wing on the shore that falls on the fire. Make sure the cannon is pointing to the peak. In terms of perspective, I didn't adjust it, but just kept it. Also, make sure there are no palm trees nearby that can cause premature collisions.

The second step involves the backpack. After grabbing it, head to the scout cannon and jump in. Your character must stand in it. Then, select the backpack and discard it. The idea is that the backpack needs to be inside the cannon. Then, continue to exit.
It must have been a bit off-roader after putting down the bag and walking out of the cannon – after all we were doing a small malfunction. If you have trouble quitting, grab your pack and repeat the steps. Again, the position of the backpack itself does not matter, but it needs to be inside.


Now is the fun part. Make sure to have Flare Get ready with you and once ready, ignite the rear of the cannon to start the explosion. Once you do, run around and jump in with your backpack.
The explosion will trigger soon. Now, once you're in the air, you have to Spam Dead Elemote. Using the mouse and keyboard, this requires opening the Emote wheel with R and moving the cursor to the symbol. You must repeat this several times.
If you succeed, you will start skipping the entire level. You'll know this because you'll see the title screen appear quickly. Depending on what you've achieved so far, you might have some new popups, and this is me, a cool cucumber badge that can't climb over Mesa Biome without over 10% calories.


Eventually, you'll stop flying and be at the top of the peak, look OK, glitch. You will be surrounded by light blue walls, which will slowly give you cold damage. Once you stop moving, continue to light the flare. This way you can trigger the helicopter and you can then use it to escape and finish the run. Try not to take too long, otherwise the cold may surpass you.
One last note: You may not peak on your first attempt. This is a tricky malfunction. But I was able to do this on my third try, so keep trying.
After patching, can you still make cannon failures at peaks?
The short answer is, yes, the cannon glitch in Peak is still working after patch 1.25.a issued in late August.
To prevent people from using glitches too frequently, one of the main fixatives makes the fog wall taller, which is the wall that separates the biological population. Having said that, I can confirm that the glitch is still valid. It took me three attempts to pull it apart because the first two attempts made me hit a surface and killed me on the spot. Of course, your mileage may vary, but the patch itself does not completely eliminate the fault.
Good luck using cannon glitches to skip all levels using the summit. If you are looking for more guides, we've covered it too How to find a scout And different ways to meet him.
