A typical climb in Cairn - and most rock climbing games for that matter - tasks you with managing rope, and the pitons you use to anchor it to a rock face. You add pitons as you climb so that in the event you slip, you only fall to your last piton rather than all the way to the ground. In Free Solo mode, you don't have that safety net, turning each climb into more of a roguelike run.

The 2.0 Storm's Brewing update introduces elemental effects, drastically altering biomes and creating a need for players to earn badges for survival beyond the forest.

Repairing buildings is straightforward, and typically less frequent than equipment or vehicle repairs, making it easier to maintain bases during gameplay.
