Cannibalism

Other Scouts appear as walking roast chickens when the player is sufficiently hungry.

Cannibalism is a game mechanic in PEAK that allows players to eat other players when their  Hunger is above a certain threshold.

When Cannibalism is enabled, players whose  Hunger is 70% or higher will start seeing other players as walking chickens and will be able to eat them, removing all current  Hunger, adding  10 Curse, and immediately killing the Scout that has been eaten.

By default, Cannibalism is enabled for all players. However, players that do not want to engage with this mechanic can toggle it off in the settings. When a player turns it off, they will no longer see their teammates as chickens nor be able to eat them. Their teammates will also be unable to see them as a chicken or eat them as well.

Eating another Scout will reward the player with the  Resourcefulness Badge.

Patch notes

1.10.a (2025-07-30): Introduced.

1.11.a (2025-08-01):

• Added an option called “ENABLE CANNIBALISM” which is on by default. For folks who don’t want to engage with this mechanic, simply turn it off at the Main Menu. By turning it off, you will no longer see other players become chickens or be able to eat them, and other players will not be allowed to see you as a chicken or eat you.
• Players will now become cannibals at 70% Hunger instead of 60%.
• Players will now take 10% Curse status upon cannibalizing, up from 5%.
