PEAK Strike

PEAK becomes a race. The fog is gone: you and your friends race up the mountain level by level, armed with Counter-Strike 2's guns. Everything from CS2 is read from your own CS2 install while you play: the gun models, their sounds, prices and stats, CS2's money rules, bullet holes, impact sounds and music kit, even your own CS2 crosshair and keys.

How it plays

• Each part of the mountain is a level. Buy time at the bottom, then GO.
• Suitcases hold CS2 guns (Glock-18, Desert Eagle, Nova, AK-47, AWP) or cash.
• Shoot rivals off the cliff face. A fall that knocks someone out sends them back to the bottom of the level, and the shooter earns the gun's CS2 kill award.
• Bullets leave CS2's bullet holes on rock, wood, dirt, sand and snow, and knock loose things around: shoot coconuts and beehives out of the trees.
• The first one to the campfire at the top starts a 3:00 timer for everyone else. Whoever doesn't make it in time is placed by how close they got.
• Spend cash at the campfires on CS2 guns at CS2 prices, or keep it: cash left at the peak adds to your score.
• The first one to the peak starts the final countdown, then the scoreboard crowns the MVP.

Three modes, picked on PEAK's boarding pass

• Easy (Tenderfoot): infinite stamina and infinite ammo.
• Normal (the normal climb): infinite stamina, normal ammo and reloads.
• Hard (any Ascent): PEAK's own stamina, hunger and cold, normal ammo, and suitcases hold PEAK's usual items plus the gun or cash.

In Easy and Normal there's no hunger or cold, and suitcases hold only a gun or cash.

Controls: left click shoots, R reloads, B opens the buy menu at a campfire (both follow your CS2 keys), right click scopes the AWP.

Playing together: 2 to 4 players, and everyone needs PEAK Strike. Join through the game: the host presses Play on PEAK's title screen as usual; friends press Join on PEAK's title screen and type the host's 6-letter room code, which Melty shows them.

You need PEAK and Counter-Strike 2 (free) installed on Steam: the guns and sounds come from CS2's files, so it has to be installed, not just owned, and be the current CS2 rather than the old CS:GO legacy beta. CS2 stays closed.

Built with Claude on Melty. Reads CS2's files with ValveResourceFormat (MIT, SteamDatabase) and decodes MP3s with NLayer (MIT).
