Learn how to deal with cactus thorns in Peak and the various methods you can use to remove them while playing solo or co-op.
The Mesa is an arid biome with a mountainous desert landscape and hostile conditions for players. Besides the scorching sun, tornadoes, and dynamite, Scouts also have to remain wary of the level’s vegetation harming them. Colliding with one of the many cacti dotting the biome will embed thorns into a scout’s limbs.
These thorns remain embedded and damage the player’s stamina bar, limiting progression and even rendering them unconscious if too much damage is inflicted. Even if players are cautious and steer clear of the thorny plants, the Mesa’s environmental hazards, such as tumbleweeds and tornadoes, can fling the Scouts into them. This combination of adversity can end runs if players aren’t able to remove thorns quickly.

How To Remove Cactus Thorns in Peak
To remove a cactus thorn stuck to you, look directly at the thorn until the “Thorn E remove” prompt pops up. Then, hold the interact button (E) to remove the thorn. However, sometimes thorns can be difficult to spot, which calls for other removal methods.
Hold Out Arm
To check your arm for thorns, hold the RIght-Click. If you see any, point the cursor at them and press “E” while continuing to hold down the Right-Click. You can also use other emotes to get a better view of your arm.
Hang From Rope
If you are having trouble spotting the thorns stuck to your limbs, hanging from a rope can help. Begin climbing a rope and then look down at your hands and feet to inspect them for thorns. With your body stationary, you can easily move the cursor around and remove all the thorns quickly.
Teammates
The easiest way to remove thorns is if you have a teammate nearby. Have your teammates check for thorns and remove them as you slowly rotate on the spot. The process is similar to removing ticks.
Keep Climbing
If none of the methods are feasible in your situation, you can continue to run and climb. The thorns will eventually fall off as you travel, recovering the damage dealt to the stamina bar. You may want to use this method when the fog is closing in, a tornado is heading your way, or when you’re taking heat damage and need to find shade.
