The useful answer

Find it inside four ring-shaped structures around the map. Its main use is to fire a colored smoke flare with a short cooldown.

Step by step

  1. Go to the item location: inside four ring-shaped structures around the map.
  2. Make sure one player has a free hand, back slot or hip slot before picking it up.
  3. Use it to fire a colored smoke flare with a short cooldown.
  4. Return it to a memorable landmark if your group does not want to carry it.

Why players get stuck here

Tools are physical objects in Big Walk: they can be dropped, moved, worn or left behind between destinations. Name the color before firing so the group follows the correct signal. A useful item is only useful if the rest of the group knows who is carrying it.

Quick checklist

  • Confirm the item visually before leaving the area
  • Choose one named carrier
  • Tell the group where it will be returned
  • Name the color before firing so the group follows the correct signal.

Verify it before moving on

Test the item near the place where you found it, then note whether it changes with distance, sound, light or another player. Many tools are communication aids rather than keys that directly unlock one door.
