How to read this item list
Big Walk is built around physical objects that players can pick up, carry, show to a friend and sometimes use to change a situation in the world. The official material names eight headline examples and leaves the list open with 'and more'. Launch coverage and the independent release-build index add a flashlight, backpack and holster to the working reference set.
This is an index, not a claim that every object has a confirmed inventory rule. A named item proves that the game presents or references that object; it does not by itself prove a fixed capacity, a puzzle solution, a signal range or a hidden function.
- Officially named examples: walkie-talkies, laser pointers, binoculars, megaphones, flares, whiteboards, cowbells and the big golden head.
- Launch coverage also documents a flashlight and carrying gear; exact storage behavior remains platform- and version-sensitive.
- Normally expect one held object at a time. A tumble or drop can separate a player from the object, so mark where important tools were left.
- Use the item-location guide for reported routes and this page for what each object is known to be.
Portable tools and equipment
The table below rewrites the release-build index as a practical reader reference. 'Confirmed' means supported by an official source or a clearly identified release observation. 'Open' means the object is real but the exact mechanic should not be presented as settled.
| Item | What the sources support | Do not overclaim |
|---|---|---|
| Walkie-talkie | A handheld communication tool with a crackling radio treatment; the official FAQ also discusses text chat through the communication system. | No official maximum range, channel list or universal text behavior is published. |
| Laser pointer | An official example used to direct attention toward something in the world. | Exact range, visibility through terrain and puzzle-specific behavior are not confirmed. |
| Binoculars | An official example for looking farther and a deliberately playful co-op prop. | Zoom strength, controls and whether it is required for any puzzle are unverified. |
| Megaphone | An official example for projecting communication over a larger distance. | Do not turn 'louder' into a measured range or assume it replaces a radio transmitter. |
| Flare gun / flares | Flares are named in official materials and the release-build index identifies a flare-gun family. | There is no source-backed claim here about damage, combat, ammunition count or signal duration. |
| Whiteboard | An official example for player-made communication; the build index also identifies a sign/text-input family. | Persistence, character limits and whether text is saved between sessions need direct testing. |
| Cowbell | An official example of a sound-making prop; the build index contains multiple cowbell mesh variants. | Variants do not prove separate tiers, recipes or different puzzle functions. |
| Big golden head | An official example intentionally presented with unanswered question marks. | Its purpose, location and any secret reward are deliberately left open. |
| Flashlight | Launch coverage and the release-build index support a handheld light source. | Battery, brightness, toggle input and guaranteed spawn locations are not established here. |
| Backpack | Carrying gear is reported in launch coverage and a backpack-frame object appears in the independent index. | Capacity, slot count and whether every backpack behaves the same are not confirmed. |
| Holster / hip bag | A belt or holster family is identified in the release-build index and launch coverage discusses additional carrying gear. | Do not state a fixed second slot or item restriction without a reproducible test. |
Carrying rules that matter in co-op
The useful practical rule is to plan the group's hands, not to assume a conventional RPG inventory. Keep a light source with the player scouting at night, give map or communication tools to the player who will be separated from the group, and leave a visible landmark when a tool must be dropped.
Backpacks and holsters may reduce the number of trips, but the exact slot model is still an open verification item. A stored object should not be described as usable from the bag until the group has tested that interaction on the target platform.
- Before a long split, agree who carries the light, flare and communication tool.
- Call out the landmark before dropping a small item; terrain and grass can hide it.
- Record platform, world size and game version when testing capacity or drop behavior.
- Treat build mesh names as existence evidence, not as user-facing item names unless the source also supports that name.
What is still missing
The official sources do not publish a complete item catalogue, a full item-location map or a universal interaction table. This wiki therefore keeps the open questions visible instead of filling them with guesses. New entries should include a source, a platform and a short reproduction note before they are promoted to confirmed.
- Complete list of all tools and props.
- Exact spawn or pickup locations for every item.
- Backpack and holster capacity on each platform.
- Whether any item persists in the host save after being dropped.
- Puzzle requirements that depend on a particular object.
