Step by step

  1. Go to the item location: at the paint-palette structure around coordinates 3570, 1190.
  2. Make sure one player has a free hand, back slot or hip slot before picking it up.
  3. Use it to paint a friend’s head, torso and legs using palette colors.
  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. You cannot paint yourself; metallic paint for Big Makeover is found much later. 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
  • You cannot paint yourself; metallic paint for Big Makeover is found much later.

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.
