All items in PEAK and what they do

PEAK has a lot of items. Most of the time, when escaping the fog, it's hard to know whether to take one or leave it without knowing what effect it gives out, especially when a lot of things can poison or hurt you, instead of aiding you.

To help everyone out, we have created a list of every item and what it does. That way, when you find an item you've never seen before, you can quickly scan the list with CTRL+F and find out how useful, or unhelpful, it is. Since the game's launch, new items have been added via minor updates. The recent Mesa update has several new items you can discover on the island.

Every item in Peak and how they work

Below is a comprehensive guide to each item you can find in PEAK and its exact effects:

Item Type of Item Effects
Flare Misc When thrown, it creates smoke for finding lost teammates and giving a direction.
Lantern Misc Creates a light source and also stops freezing status effects in a small radius.
Bing Bong (Plush) Misc Does nothing. Required for an achievement.
Bugle (Musical Instrument) Misc Used for an achievement and getting Winterberry through Capybaras in hot springs.
Compass Misc Keep track of where you're facing. Mostly useless.
Binoculars Misc Lets you zoom in on locations around the map. Helpful for finding luggage bags, food, and potential routes.
Flying Disk Misc You can throw it towards friends for fun. You can also knock down coconuts from trees.
Scroll Misc Act as Lore pages to learn more about PEAK's world. Required for an achievement.
Bugle of Friendship Misc/Legendary Gives every player infinite stamina when used. Lasts for 10 seconds. Can run out of charge.
Scout Effigy Healing Revives a dead player, one-time use.
Heat Pack Healing Removes Frost damage. Doesn't stop it from affecting you.
Antidote Healing Cures 14 ticks of Poison
Medkit Healing Fully heals you.
Bandages Healing Heals for 12 ticks of damage.
Cure-All Healing Removes all status effects and heals to max stamina.
Faerie Lantern Healing/Legendary Slowly heals all players in a radius. Can run out of charge.
Pandora's Lunchbox Healing/Food/Curse Three uses. Gives random hunger or status effects.
Remedy Fungus Healing Thrown item. Releases spores that heal players of everything.
Backpack Misc Gives you four additional inventory slots to store items. You'll need to drop the backpack onto the floor to access and remove items unless you have a friend carrying it for you.
Blowgun Misc Shoots a one-time dart that inflicts heavy lethargy status.
Cursed Skull Misc/Legendary Kills you in return for all nearby teammates reviving, as well as removes all status effects and gives full stamina to everyone else.
Pirate's Compass Misc/Legendary Points to the closest closed luggage case.
Scoutmaser's Bugle Misc/Legendary Spawns the Scoutmaster to chase the player. Gives everyone nearby max Stamina.
Banana Peel Misc Players slip on it when stepping on it.
Big Lollipop Food Gives you infinite stamina temporarily when used. After the effect finishes, you are afflicted by lethargy and need to wait to get your stamina back.
Marshmallow Food Better cooked. Recovers hunger.
Portable Stove Exploration Place down a stove that can cook food. Slowly cures the freeze status effect. Can't be picked back up after being placed.
Rope Cannon Exploration Shoots out an arrow with a rope that falls. The rope is small, though.
Rope Spool Exploration 12.5m of rope that can be spun downwards and placed on a rock to help teammates climb.
Anti-Rope Spool Exploration Same as the above, but the rope goes upwards instead of downwards.
Anti-Rope Cannon Exploration Same as the Rope Cannon, but the rope goes upwards instead of downwards.
Chain Cannon Exploration Like the Rope Cannon, it fires out an anchor that locks to a wall, but creates a sideways vine-like wire instead.
Piton Exploration Can be placed on walls to recover stamina when climbing, but it can break after extended use.
Shelf Fungus Exploration When thrown, it creates a small platform to stand on.
Magic Bean Exploration When thrown at the ground, it creates a tall pole structure that's ladder-like to climb
Food Food There are so many different types of food that all heal you and can be cooked that it's hard to note them all. Be sure to check out our complete guide on PEAK's food for a detailed breakdown of every available option.
Ancient Idol Quest Sacrifice the item in the lava to get the 24 Karat Badge
Balloons Exploration Allows you to reduce fall damage
Scout Cannon Exploration Launch yourself across large distances that can't be covered otherwise
Parasol Exploration Acts as a glider and also protects from the sun in the Mesa biome
Sunscreen Healing Protects from the sun in Mesa
Aloe Vera Healing Cools down body temperature
Dynamite Misc Natural hazards that explode when touched

We're continuing to update this page as Aggro Crab and Landfall release more items into PEAK. We also haven't listed every food type, as most of them are fairly easy to find. However, we have noted specific foods where they might have an effect, such as poisonous Mushrooms.

On the topic of mushrooms and determining if one is poisonous, it's difficult, as there are several different varieties available. We tend to avoid them ourselves, for safety. However, we have a complete guide to determining which of PEAK's mushrooms are poisonous if you're interested in exploring each option and risking your character's health for some emergency food.
