The Roots update is finally here in the viral co-op game TOP. Like the last update, it will bring a new biome with its own set of challenges for players to tackle. In addition to that, the update also adds tons of new items. One of them is Checkpoint Flags, which players already love.
Checkpoint flags may not seem that important at first, but they are actually quite handy once you know how to use them. Before you can get the most out of these flags, you need to understand what they do. Here's a quick guide on how Checkpoint Flags work TOP.
.
What are Checkpoint Flags in PEAK?
Checkpoint flags are exactly what they sound like. They are a way to set your own respawn point in the game. When you place it, it creates a checkpoint so that if you die, you'll be back exactly where you placed it. They are really useful and can save tons of time, especially when the climb gets tough.
It is important to note that Checkpoint Flags are a one-time use item. When you die and respawn, the flag disappears. Fans can place it anywhere, including the new ROOTS biome. The best part is that you come back with full health when you respawn.
You can find Checkpoint Flags inside trunks. There are plenty of these scattered around, but the flags themselves are quite rare. So if you're hoping to get one, be sure to open as many trunks as you can.
.
To get the most out of your Checkpoint Flags, avoid dropping them right at the start of a biome. If you use it early, you'll just respawn all the way back there when you die. It is better to save them for tougher sections so you can pick up right where you left off instead of climbing all the way again.
.
The best time to use a Checkpoint Flag is before a tough climb. It's a good safety net if things go wrong. But there is a small drawback. If you actually make it past the challenging climb and then die later, you'll respawn where you placed the flag. That means you have to do that tricky part all over again.
.
Using a Checkpoint flag doesn't give you an achievement, but it can definitely save your life. This will make it easier for you to complete other achievements later.
