K2 Climbing Simulation Oxygen Guide

Oxygen should be treated like a route budget. The goal is to avoid desperate climbs by planning short segments, safe pauses, and recovery decisions before the run becomes unstable.

Oxygen Planning Rules

Move in segments

Think checkpoint to checkpoint instead of summit-only.

Stop before panic

A controlled pause is usually cheaper than a rushed mistake.

Learn your failure point

Write down where oxygen pressure starts to break your route.

Upgrade for the blocker

Spend rewards on the system that is ending your climbs.

When To Slow Down

Slow down when the next move is unclear, when the camera angle is poor, or when you are repeating the same mistake. A few seconds of planning can save a full restart.

What To Verify In-Game

Where the oxygen indicator appears.
Whether oxygen can be refilled.
Which gear affects oxygen or survival time.
Which route segments create the most oxygen pressure.
