How to use a Rope in PEAK

As players explore the procedurally generated realism of PEAK, they will encounter many different items that will aid (or sometimes hinder) their progress. One of the more useful ones is a Rope. Easily found scattered across suitcases in the first area of the game, they are an invaluable tool in helping players and their teammates reach the top more easily.

That said, PEAK is a very challenging game, so players may be confused as to how the rope is supposed to be used. Here's everything to know about this handy item in the indie co-op exploration game.

How to get and use a Rope in PEAK

A rope can be found in many suitcases across the island. After picking it up, adding it to the hotbar, and selecting it, the player avatar will hold it in their hands. Additionally, an icon featuring the rope and its length. On the right side, there are the controls detailing how to use the item:

• Tie Knot: Left Mouse Click
• Spool: Mouse Scroll Wheel
• Drop: Q
• Throw: Q (Hold)

Simply put, the rope is used to establish a hanging point from a location. As such, it is used after reaching a stable surface, then spooling the rope down and then pegging it stably in place. To do so, first look down and spool the rope using the mouse scroll wheel till the desired depth. A ghost spool rope will show how further down the rope can go so played can judge how much rope should be used.

Once it is at the correct height, click and hold the left mouse click to tie the rope down to a surface. This will then spawn the rope anchored to that location, creating an easy up to move up and down.

As such, this is not just useful to help teammates lagging behind climb the mountain, but also creates a pathway back down in case players want to change directions. Climbing a rope consumes less stamina than normal wall climbing, so it can be helpful to set up ropes on trickier mountain spots.
