Big Walk Radio Channel Guide

Radios keep separated teams in contact when proximity voice no longer reaches. Both handheld sets must use the same activated channel.

Direct answer

Activate a fixed station, then tune both handheld radios to its channel

Find handheld radios, locate a fixed transmitter or receiver, interact with the station to reveal or activate its channel and tune both teams to the same number. Community guides currently document a multi-channel island route, but exact station coordinates are not official and should be verified in the host world.

Before you start

  • Give one handheld radio to each separated team.
  • Choose one radio operator per team to reduce overlapping calls.
  • Read the destination coordinate or landmark before the teams split.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Find a fixed station

    Use the community visual route or nearby landmark to locate a transmitter or receiver.

  2. 2

    Activate the channel

    Interact with the fixed equipment and note the channel number shown by the current host world.

  3. 3

    Match handheld sets

    Tune both radios to the same channel and perform a short close-range test before walking away.

  4. 4

    Assign the channel by task

    Reserve it for the map, train, tower or cleanup team rather than permanently assigning it to one person.

  5. 5

    Call position before instruction

    Say the coordinate or landmark first, then the requested action, so the receiving team can place the message.

Visual route

Match the landmark before you move

Authorized gameplay screenshots and route videos are paired with text so the guide still works without media.

Screenshots retain the original game text; videos retain their original audio. Use the captions and written checkpoints alongside them.

Red route: use the Red Tower view to orient toward the first documented station.

Secret route: look for the orange tunnel opening in the mountainside.

Still stuck?

  • For no audio, confirm both devices show the same channel and are equipped.
  • For one-way audio, re-interact with the fixed station and retune both handheld radios.
  • For a lost teammate, send one coordinate, fire a flare and hold position.
  • If a copied coordinate fails, use the current visual landmark because community map labels can change.

Spoiler and verification boundary

What is verified on this page

The page mentions tower and tunnel communication but does not reveal story events.

Radio operation and station routes are community-documented; the official FAQ confirms in-game communication is central but does not publish a channel-location list.
