A cooperative PEAK challenge mod about carrying, protecting, and recovering the Nest Egg.
About this mod Author’s original text
WatchEgg
WatchEgg turns PEAK's Nest Egg into a cooperative escort objective.
Carry it up the mountain, protect it from impacts, and recover it from
the latest checkpoint when it breaks.
Main Features
- One random player receives and immediately holds the Nest Egg at the start.
- A player may continuously carry the egg for up to 20 seconds.
- A visible countdown and warning sounds show the remaining carry time.
- The egg automatically drops when the carry timer expires.
- Selecting another inventory slot drops the egg instead of storing it.
- The Nest Egg cannot be stored in normal inventory slots or backpacks.
- The player who throws or drops the egg cannot immediately catch it again
while it is airborne. Other players may still catch it.
- The egg is protected from player-body collision damage.
- A grounded egg receives a visible golden highlight when aimed at.
- Food created after the Nest Egg breaks cannot be eaten.
- A broken-egg counter is displayed on screen.
- A checkpoint is saved after the held egg moves at least 50 metres from the
previous checkpoint and the carrier reaches safe ground.
- After the egg breaks, it can be recovered from the latest checkpoint.
- At the summit, the Nest Egg must be near the flare before the flare can be lit.
- PEAK's original gradual lava damage remains enabled instead of instant death.
- Outside the Airport, negative status buildup and afflictions are blocked
while normal stamina use remains enabled.

Install & use Install: BepInEx plugin
- The archive from playbuff is the mod itself — usually a BepInEx plugin (a .dll or a plugin folder once unzipped).
- Recommended: use a community mod manager (such as r2modman) — pick this game, import the mod, and the manager sets up BepInEx and its dependencies for you.
- Manual route: install the BepInEx loader in the game folder, then drop the unzipped .dll or plugin folder into BepInEx/plugins/.
- Launch the game — the BepInEx console logs every plugin it loads; seeing this mod in the log means it is installed.
Mods with listed dependencies need those installed too, or they will not load. Options are usually changed in-game or in the plugin's config file.
Install these first, or the mod will not work:
