When your knockout timer expires in **PEAK**, you automatically become a ghost if not revived in time. This transition removes you from normal gameplay—though you retain a limited role in the climbing experience.

How Ghost Transformation Occurs

Temporary Knockout vs. Permanent Death

Falling or sustaining fatal damage puts you in a **knocked-out** state, not immediate death. Teammates must place your body on the ground to administer healing items like medkits, bandages, or food.

If no revival occurs before the timer expires, your character permanently transforms into a ghost.

Post-Death Mechanics

• Ghost form cannot be activated manually—it’s strictly time-based.
• Players lose all physical interaction abilities but remain in the game world.

Ghost Capabilities

• Abilities:
  • Use proximity chat to communicate with living teammates
  • Freely float to scout terrain or relay strategic information
• Limitations:
  • Cannot physically interact with objects, players, or the environment
  • No option to disable ghost mechanics currently exists

Revival Methods

Campfire Altars

These permanent structures allow teams to resurrect **all ghosts simultaneously** at no resource cost.

Effigies

Single-use items providing instant revival of one ghost. Most squads reserve them for critical late-game scenarios due to their scarcity.
