Big Walk Items & Tools

Big Walk’s inventory is physical. A player normally holds one object; bags add slots, but another player equips and retrieves them. Use this hub to find, carry, use, or recover each tool.

Lost something?

Search the drop area, check teammates and bags, then use the recovery flow. Important items may return to Lost & Found, but timing is not fully documented.
