Mr. Peeks, a familiar figure in the Dark Aether narrative, has resurfaced, inviting players to engage in exciting contests within the «Ashes of the Damned» map. This enigmatic character brings with him a unique challenge that revolves around skillful axe-throwing, where players can test their aim for the chance to earn a distinctive Dark Ops Calling Card, alongside valuable in-game loot that can enhance their survival chances against relentless waves of enemies.
To embark on this quest, players must first locate Mr. Peeks in the game. The challenge begins at the site known as Blackwater Lake, which players can access after maneuvering through the connection road via the vehicle called Ol’ Tessie. Upon reaching their destination, they should head to a Toolshed situated there. A golden trophy graces the south wall of the shed, and players need to interact with it by pressing the reload button. This action triggers a lighthearted laugh, signaling the next step in the encounter.
After interacting with the trophy, players will find a Combat Axe resting in a nearby log. This weapon is crucial for completing the challenge ahead. They must seek out a floating purple target that appears in the vicinity. Players need to throw the Combat Axe at these targets, and the task can be repeated until all have been hit. Fortunately, should they miss, they can regain opportunities by approaching the fence adjacent to the targets to refresh them.
Completing this easter egg results in Mr. Peeks making an appearance, and he rewards players with an abundance of Essence–an excellent source of early-game points. Moreover, successfully finishing the challenge grants players 3,000 XP and the prized Bullseye Calling Card, providing incentives for both skill and persistence.
For those eager to take on this thrilling adventure, a concise step-by-step guide is as follows:
1. Enter Blackwater Lake.
2. Interact with the trophy located inside the Toolshed.
3. Retrieve the Combat Axe positioned outside the shed.
4. Hit the floating targets until Mr. Peeks appears.
Players are encouraged to seize this opportunity, as it not only promises a fun experience but also fruitful rewards that can significantly boost their gameplay.
