Best Items In PEAK (Tier List)

One of the best things about PEAK is all the interesting items you find while climbing. Sure, the game looks great and plays well, but testing out all the different items is what makes it really fun. Some can save your life, while others can put it in danger. As such, it's helpful to know the effects of each one.

If you’re wondering which PEAK items are worth holding onto and which ones you can probably skip, this tier list will help you out. Here's our take on the best and not-so-great items in PEAK.

PEAK Best Items Tier List

We’ve put together a simple tier list of all the items that we have found in PEAK so far. The idea is to help you figure out what’s actually worth keeping in your backpack and what you can probably ignore.

Anything in the S-tier category should always be grabbed, A-tier items are still great, just not as game-changing, B-tier items are hit or miss and can help sometimes, C-tier items are useful early on, but you’ll likely replace them later, and D-tier items are usually best left behind.

S-Tier

Items	Reasoning
Cure-All	A lifesaver. It heals your character and clears negative effects. It also gives you three uses.
Anti-Rope Cannon	This item shoots a rope upwards instead of down. It also makes climbing tough spots way easier and is useful in almost all biomes.
Chain Cannon	PEAK players can use this item to shoot out a vine and move sideways to tricky spots. It saves a lot of stamina, too.
Faerie Lantern	This is one of the best healing items. It heals you and clears bad effects. It can even help your teammates, but it’s not always easy to find.
Scout Effigy	This is an important item in multiplayer. Scouts can use it to revive their teammates. However, it only works once, so players should use it wisely.

A-Tier

Items	Reasoning
Remedy Fungus	This item creates a green healing zone when thrown. It's great in multiplayer because it can heal your whole team at once.
Cursed Skull	Revives all your teammates in one go, but you die in the process. It would be an S-tier item if it didn’t take you down with it.
Anti-Rope Spool	Similar to Anti-Rope Cannon. Players can use this item to throw a rope upward to reach high ledges that they can’t climb normally.
Portable Stove	A useful item that allows you to cook food, giving you more energy than what you would get from eating food raw.
Medkit	Heals you back to full health and is really helpful when you're low on health.

B-Tier

Items	Reasoning
Rope Spool	Can be used to pull your friends up when playing with others. It's not quite useful in solo mode, though.
Rope Cannon	This item does the opposite of the anti-rope cannon and can be useful in certain situations.
Bandage	Heals a little bit. It's handy for small injuries and is also easy to find.
Bugle of Friendship	Gives your team unlimited energy for 10 seconds. It's a useful item, but it doesn’t last long.
Heat Pack	Keeps you warm in the Alpine area. After that, you won’t really need it.

C-Tier

Items	Reasoning
Pirate's Compass	It points you to unopened luggage boxes, but luggage is not that hard to spot anyway.
Piton	PEAK players can use this item while climbing to create a place to rest. Your teammates can also use it, but it breaks fast.
Antidote	It clears poison, but it's not really useful most of the time; poison is not a big deal after the first two biomes.
Lantern	Helps with frost and lights things up, but Heat Packs do a better job overall.
Pandora's Lunchbox	Clears your bad effects but gives you new ones. Players should only use this item when they've got no other choice.

D-Tier

Items	Reasoning
Bing Bong	Only there for the Bing Bong badge. Doesn’t actually do anything useful.
Big Lollipop	Gives you stamina but hits you with heavy lethargy. It's just not worth it.
Bugle	Players can use this item near capybaras for the Animal Serenading badge, but other bugles also work.
Blowgun	Only good for trolling your friends. Not helpful otherwise.
Banana Peel	Trips players who step on it. More of a hazard than a tool.
Compass	Points to the mountain early on, but you won’t need it after that.
Flare	Can signal your friends or the helicopter, but it doesn’t do much else. It's a weak heat source, too.
Scoutmaster's Bugle	Summons the Scoutmaster, which is a terrible idea unless you want the Mentorship Badge.
