What are the Best Mods to Use in PEAK?

PEAK is still a relatively new co-op game, which means the modding community is still building up steam. But there are already numerous mods eager to add more to the game.

Some mods are minor, aiming to solve little inconveniences or add some more cosmetic offerings. Others are gameplay mods that will completely change how everything works. The mods below are some of the best that will help make PEAK even more exciting to play.

10 More Custom Hats

The Hats of Your Dreams

The MoreCustomHats mod adds over a dozen new hats to PEAK. And we all know how vital it is that your character goes on this deadly mission of survival looking good. There are quite a few in-game hats, many of which you earn by unlocking them, but this mod broadens your selection pool.

There’s a hockey mask, plushies from Bombzyz, and even a funny fake arrow headband. The creator states that more will come, so if you do get the mod, keep watch on any updates.

9 Infinite Stamina

Never Stop Climbing

Running out of stamina is typically grounds for a quick death. And honestly, managing your stamina is one of the fun challenges in the game. But what if you simply want to explore this world without fear? You can do that with the InfiniteStamina mod.

As the name says, you’ll never run out of stamina. So, you can climb as much as you’d like, venturing out to places you never sought out before in fear of falling and dying. It’s a fun way to turn this into a more open-world-like game.

8 Push Mod

Time to Hurt Your Friends

There are many ways to help each other out during any ascent. PEAK is mainly a co-op climbing game, after all. But why help when you can hurt? Rather than just stick your hand out, the PushMod allows you to firmly shove your mates.

All it takes is pressing one key, the “F” key, and you can send your friends soaring back down the mountain after a long climb. It keeps things unexpected and amusing. However, it only works if the other person has the mod installed as well.

7 Reconnect Catchup

No One Will Miss Out

One of the best simple mods is perfect for that one friend who never joins the session on time. The Recconect Catchup mod allows players to join mid-game, instantly spawning close to the rest of the group. If the group is fractured off, the player spawns to the lowest Y-level character.

This mod is great for making sure the ascent can still move on even if everyone isn’t there yet. Or it can even help players who perhaps aren’t the strongest climbers and would love to skip certain parts and join once the group has made a dent in the journey.

6 Eagles Eye

Spot Anything in the World

Sometimes it’s tough spotting things while you climb. And if you want to truly plan out your journey, it helps to see any detours you’ll have to make. EaglesEye mod adds a zoom feature to PEAK. It has scroll support too, giving you a more seamless experience to search the map.

It’s one of the best tools to spot luggage, letting you know what path to take first before you continue up and onward. A cool extra feature from the mod is that you can turn on the optional binocular overlay to really immerse yourself.

5 Better Friend Jump

Get a Bigger Boost

Crouching and launching your friend is an underrated feature. It’s great for helping each other reach ledges that are only just out of your stamina range. But the boost isn’t that big. This mod will change all of that.

The BetterFriendJump lets you go higher. It’s as straightforward as that. There’s no change in how you jump. Just do the same thing as usual on a crouched teammate, but see yourself able to reach higher ledges. You can even configure the exact value until you find the range you like.

4 More Peak

No More Map Refresh Wait

MorePeak is one of the best mods when you want to keep things new. There’s always a wait for the daily refresh. The mod eliminates that wait time. With it, it will select a random map no matter when you get into the game. You can configure the mod to be less random and more precise if you’d like.

There are a few solid uses for this mod. For one thing, it helps if you perhaps don’t care for the current map and want something different right now. It also helps speedrunners eager to jump into the next challenge.

3 Easy Backpack

No More Risky Backpack Use

The backpack is one of the most useful items, but it can be frustrating, and not because of the weight it can add. It’s how you access it. You must set the backpack down if you want to add or take anything from it. Or a friend can dig inside for you while it’s on your back.

It’s an unfortunately easy way to lose your backpack if you’re not on a flat surface. So, the EasyBackpack mod lets you access the pack without putting it down. It’s especially useful for solo players who want at least one lone wolf ascent.

2 Piggyback

Help a Friend Out

The piggyback feature in PEAK is the ultimate Hail Mary to save an unconscious or otherwise dying teammate. But it’s only used when they’re unconscious. So, the Piggyback mod lets you carry teammates whenever you wish.

It’s the perfect way to keep the game moving along for those AFK mates. But that’s not the only fun you can get out of the mod. If you have a bloodlust, consider putting one of your mates on your back only to “accidentally” drop them off the edge. That’s one way to keep your friends guessing.

1 PEAK Unlimited

Everyone Climbs Together

PEAK is entertaining on your own, but it truly feels geared toward group play. The PEAK Unlimited mod lets you expand that group beyond the 4-player cap. And only the host needs to have the mod installed for it to work.

So, invite your whole friend group. There’s even a nice update to the mod that adds marshmallows for everyone too. Now, there’s no worry about anyone missing out. Can it get too chaotic? Of course, but that’s the fun part.
