PEAK Game Flare Guide & What it Does
The flare in PEAK is a throwable item that releases colored smoke. It helps teammates find your location and can be used to mark key spots during a climb.
How the Flare Works
When you throw a flare, it creates a visible smoke cloud that rises above the area.
This makes it easier for other players to find you if you get separated. It works well for regrouping or marking a campfire, rope spot, or item location.
The smoke is easy to see from a distance, even through fog.
When to Use It
Use the flare when:
You get lost from your group
You find a useful item and want to ping it
You reach a safe spot and want to help others catch up
You need to signal your position during a blizzard or low visibility
Flares do not deal damage, cure status effects, or give any stat bonuses.
They are only for visibility.
Flare Limitations
Flares are one-time use and do not last long.
They also do not mark anything on the map... they are visual only. If no one is looking in your direction, the flare won’t help much.
They are best used with voice or ping communication.
