All tools in Big Walk and how to use them
Big Walk, a co-operative puzzle game, features a range of tools that players can use to communicate, navigate and solve challenges together. A Destructoid guide breaks the items down into four categories: inventory, communication, location and puzzle tools, explaining what each one does and when it is most useful during play.
Inventory tools such as the waist bag and backpack let players carry extra items beyond the usual one-item limit. Communication tools include the walkie-talkie, flare gun, paintbrush and laser pointer, which help separated teammates stay in touch or leave clues. Location tools comprise two types of map, binoculars and a compass for tracking positions, while puzzle-specific tools like the ball lamp, key cutter, sound shrine and telescope are needed to solve particular in-game challenges, including the game's Tower Challenges.
