While there are plenty of threats in PEAK, like an abundance of monsters, negative status effects like Heat and Cold, and an insatiable Hunger bar, there's nothing quite as dangerous as gravity itself. If you've tried to make a climb, only to realize you're out of stamina and ready to plummet to your death, you might be happy to know that there's an unpatched way to negate all fall damage in PEAK, and all it requires is the Play Dead emote and any item that you're holding.
How to Never Take Fall Damage in PEAK
When you start falling, immediately open your emote wheel by holding R, then click the Play Dead emote (bottom of the first page). While you're in the Play Dead emote, you will ragdoll, and you can then equip any of your hotbar items with 1, 2, or 3. Equipping an item will immediately reduce your fall speed, and if you spam equip while in a ragdoll state, your fall speed will stop completely.
This is also a lot easier if you have two items. For instance: Use the Play Dead emote, then spam 1, then 2 repeatedly until you land.
You need to make sure you're using Play Dead and item spamming when you're close to the ground, as you need to slow your momentum before your impact, so you can't do it too early, or you will still build speed, but you can't do it too late, or you will smash into the ground and die!
If you don't like this method, you can always drink Fortified Milk or activate the Scout's Tenacity Amulet while in mid-air to provide yourself with over 10 seconds of damage immunity.
