How to Obtain Pebble’s Vintage Skin
Unlocking the Vintage Pebble skin requires dedication. Here’s the full checklist of tasks:
- Use Pebble’s Active Ability 145 Times
- Encounter 80 Twisteds
- Pick Up 200 Items
- Reach Floor 20
- Survive 75 Floors
- Travel 175,000 Meters
Completing all these milestones grants you the Vintage Pebble skin. It’s a purely cosmetic reward, but it’s also a testament to your skill and persistence.
Tip: Focus on using the “Speak!” ability as frequently as possible during chase scenarios to rapidly build up toward the 145 uses requirement, while naturally progressing through the other objectives.
Pebble’s Core Strategies
Mastering the Art of Distraction
Pebble is renowned for his unmatched movement speed, making him the premier choice for distracting Twisteds and keeping them away from extractors. However, he trades off extraction efficiency—with the lowest Extraction Speed in the game. Here are some key tactics:
- Use “Speak!” (Active Ability) strategically to pull Twisted aggression away from vulnerable teammates.
- Leverage your superior speed to outpace all Twisteds except for Twisted Pebble and enraged Twisted Glisten.
- If you prefer a similar movement speed with different strengths, consider Teagan, who sacrifices some mobility for better extraction capabilities.
Team Dynamics
Pebble excels when paired with extraction specialists and support characters:
- Vee can focus exclusively on machines while Pebble keeps Twisteds occupied.
- Astro can help maintain Pebble’s stamina during extended chases.
- Other Allies: Be mindful of Toons with similar or lower Stealth levels as you may inadvertently draw Twisteds to them.
Utilizing Fetch!
Pebble’s passive ability provides important resource advantages:
- Locate valuable items to support both your survival and your team’s needs.
- Find Research Capsules for grinding Ichor, but be wary of fake capsules from Twisted Rodger.
- Help Sprout find Tapes and items to increase healing ability uses when team composition allows.
