How to Fish

The September 28-29 content drop expanded the archipelago with multiple mini islands, a new weapon, mini-boss, NPC, bait, creatures, items, outfit, achievements, and two bow skins. It also added a PEAK bundle and, alongside the earlier Easy Mode and Hard Mode rollout, broadened both co-op and difficulty options.

• New island content: The September 28-29 drop added multiple mini islands, a new mini-boss, NPC, bait, creatures, items, outfit, achievements, and two bow skins. Island spacing also changed, and the new bait spawned more frequently on the mini island.
• 8 Player Lobbies and private sessions: 8 Player Lobbies expanded co-op capacity, while private invite-only lobbies and in-game session-type changes gave hosts more control. The Save File Corruption Fix also addressed damaged saves, and a separate change prevented griefers from ending games immediately after joining.
• Easy Mode and Hard Mode: Difficulty settings became available from the main menu and in-game. Easy Mode reduced creature health by 25% and damage by 50%, while Hard Mode increased both by 25%.
• Fishipedia and gameplay options: Fishipedia began displaying the bait needed for previously caught fish. Players could also downgrade to ironsights again, rebind reload, invert the look axis, and see larger mini-island radar markers.
• Whale and Pufferfish balance: Whale and Pufferfish received nerfs, while Hard Mode Adjustments, Easy Mode Adjustments, and revised wishbone-upgrade pricing further changed progression and combat. The window also fixed the Final Boss bare-hands achievement and the all-drip-creatures achievement.
