Unlocking Every Cosmetic in PEAK

PEAK challenges players to scale treacherous mountains in a cooperative survival adventure developed by Landcrab. Beyond the core climbing mechanics, a robust customization system lets you personalize your scout with outfits, hats, and facial accessories. These cosmetics are locked behind specific badges earned through in-game achievements, encouraging diverse playstyles from solo endurance runs to team-focused rescues. This guide breaks down every available cosmetic, the precise tasks required, and practical strategies to obtain them efficiently.

Getting Started with Customization

Right from the airport spawn, your passport unlocks basic appearance tweaks. Initial options include standard clothing and minor facial adjustments, but premium cosmetics demand badge progression. Badges appear in your profile after completing feats across PEAK’s dynamic biomes: Shore, Tropics, Alpines, and Caldera. Maps randomize each session, so adaptability is key. Focus on survival basics like managing stamina, healing, and vertical progress to rack up the mileage needed for many unlocks.

Comprehensive Cosmetic List and Badge Requirements

Below is a detailed table categorizing all cosmetics by type, with the exact badge and task. Use this as your checklist—prioritize biome-specific climbs for early wins.

Strategies for Earning Biomes-Based Cosmetics

Many cosmetics tie directly to progressing through PEAK’s biomes, which shift in layout per run. Start with Straw Hat by pushing beyond Shore—scan for easy ascents and avoid early pitfalls. Advance to Pith Helmet in Tropics by scaling vines and trees; big trees here unlock Realistic Eyes too. Alpines demand gear like pitons for Aviator Cap and Starry Eyes. Caldera’s heat tests endurance for Tropical Outfit. Tip: In co-op, designate a lead climber to hit vertical milestones faster while others support with heals.

Outfit Unlocks: Teamwork and Precision

• Scoutmaster Outfit: Perfect run required—no blackouts. Stock energy drinks and avoid hazards; co-op revives help but don’t count toward your badge.
• School Uniform: Campfires restore morale; linger at 5 sites per run, sharing stories for boosts.
• Russell’s Outfit: Zero fall damage means precise jumps. Use ropes extensively and balloon assists.
• Sailor’s Outfit: Revive a downed teammate with items—position yourself as medic in groups.
• Castaway Outfit: Sacrifice for the team; ensure one friend summits while you lag.

Hat Collection Tips

Hats reward skill and exploration. Chef Hat needs 20 cooked items—hunt ingredients early. Propeller Hat involves hauling Bing Bong (spawn via height gap in co-op) to the top; all players earn it. Wolf Ears is solo-only, emphasizing self-reliance. For Ninja Headband, chain climbs with consumables like lollipops—no ground contact for 50m. Messenger Cap favors speedrunners; skip side paths and optimize routes.

Facial Features: Foraging and Feats

These add personality. Vampire Fangs counters poison—pack antidotes. Sticking out Tongue requires berry variety; scout bushes systematically. Inverted Eyes summons Scoutmaster by outpacing friends 200m and idling. Wizard Hat hides in ancient luggage or statues near undiscovered camps.

Advanced Challenges and Pro Tips

Stack badges in marathon sessions: Total climb trackers like Headband (5000m) accumulate across runs. Rope-heavy plays net Ribbon Bow (100m via spools/cannons). Solo for Lone Wolf, but co-op shines for heals and carries. Random elements like journal scrolls (for potential extras) spawn at fires—read all Scoutmaster entries. Practice in private lobbies to master biomes without pressure.
