FlagSurvival

A survival mode for PEAK that adds flag collection and curse/HP management. Survive together in Coop, or race to the summit in PvP.

How do I get started?

1. Install the mod and launch the game — wait for BepInEx to finish initializing.
2. The host configures options via ModConfig or the in-game ` (backtick) panel.
3. Enter a PEAK island as usual — flags spawn automatically and the mod's rules kick in.

Win conditions

• Coop — Gather as many flags as you can with your teammates and survive. Fail to reach the goal, and something terrible happens.
• PvP — Score-based competition on flag count and campfire arrival order. The true winner is decided at the final summit.

Installation scope

The host and every client must run the same version. If anyone in the party is missing the mod or running a different version, flags may be invisible or sync errors may occur. Please make sure every participant is on the same version before joining the party.

PvP-only cutscene staging

• During next-phase transition cutscenes, your character auto-teleports to a designated coordinate so the camera flow stays seamless.
• Scoutmaster spawns are blocked — keeping the field clear so it doesn't disrupt the PvP atmosphere.
• The Scoutmaster is automatically restored on return to the Airport scene — no impact on subsequent games.

Towing system — so anyone can keep up

Is the climb to the summit too steep? Struggling to keep up with your faster friends? Towing assistance has your back.

• 1st place gets no bonus (pure skill).
• Following players get a movement-speed bonus proportional to their distance from 1st — smaller when close, larger when far.
• The host can freely adjust max towing distance and max bonus to balance difficulty for the party.

Key options

• Mode — Casual (slow HP drain + scarce flags) / Dynamic (curse-accumulation mode with faster recovery; more volatile).
• Difficulty — Very Easy through Very Hard, plus Custom (fine-tune curse accumulation rate, recovery amount, etc.).
• Match Type — Normal / Speed Match (boosts the base movement speed of every character).
• Flag customization — 11 colors / scale / cull distance / 4 post-pickup display modes / 14 pickup sounds + off.
• HUD — Korean / English toggle, adjustable ranking display position.
• Light Quality — 6-tier preset (performance ↔ visual fidelity).

Conflicts & compatibility

• Depends on PEAKLib_Core / PEAKLib_UI / ModConfig (auto-downloaded by mod manager).
• May conflict with other flag mods or cutscene mods — standalone use recommended.
• BepInEx 5.4.21+ (auto-installed via BepInExPack PEAK).

How to change settings

• In-game ` (backtick) key → a fast, intuitive GUI panel, organized by tabs: Multiplayer / Mode / Graphics / Curse / Flag / Reset.
• ModConfig → also accessible via the game's Settings menu → Modded Settings page.
