What are the Items in PEAK?
In PEAK, items are categorized to allow players to better map out their strategy and survive their hazardous ascent. The main categories of items are Miscellaneous, Healing, Exploration, Food, and Legendary items. These categories serve different functions in order to assist players while traversing the mountain and escaping the impending fog.
The variety within the categories allows players to develop different loadouts based on their playstyle and the mountain’s challenges. Therefore, understanding the items is a huge advantage to players in PEAK’s cooperative multiplayer environment.
Moreover, items in the game can also be sorted into three categories: common, rare, and legendary tiers. Tiers work as a designator, not just for how strong the effects are, but also for how hard it’s going to be to either replace the item or just find a substitute. Legendary items are the rarest overall, having the most impact. Legendary effects come with a one-time boost or some unique effect capable of changing the whole course of a run.
Exploration Tools
Exploration items in PEAK are meant to be used as directions to boost players’ mobility and strategic options as they ascend the treacherous mountain and traverse a dangerous environment. Most of the items are very important for ascent and survival.
| Item | Effects |
| Rope Cannon & Anti-Rope Cannon | The Rope Cannon fires an arrow that puts up a climbable rope up. The Anti-Rope Cannon puts down a climbable rope. |
| Rope Spool & Anti-Rope Spool | A Rope Spool gives you 12.5 meters of rope that you can spin down, and attach the bottom of the rope to something like a rock to help teammates climb up. The Anti-Rope Spool does the same thing, but it extends the rope up. |
| Chain Cannon | Fires an anchor that attaches to walls and creates a sideways vine-like wire instead of a rope up and down. |
| Piton | A deployable climbing aid that players can place on walls to rest and regain some stamina mid-climb. It has limited durability and breaks down after use over time. |

Food and Consumables
Foraged foods are easy to access for newcomers and will consistently restore hunger. They also fill the environment as well, but be mindful because some are poisonous with poison status that can make survival difficult if not treated quickly. Food can also be cooked at portable stoves that further bolster its restorative effectiveness against hunger. Cooking makes food more effective in decreasing hunger when consumed.
