Big Walk radio channels: devices & open leads

Big Walk’s communication devices include player-held walkie-talkies and world radio equipment. The release build names both families; station solutions are not published yet.

Fact-checked against official sources · Updated August 6, 2026

Player-held communication

The walkie-talkie is the best-documented portable tool: official sources confirm a crackling radio treatment for voice, and the FAQ says text chat can use it too. No official maximum range is published.

World radio devices

The released build contains a field-radio family with fixed, FM, ham-radio, antenna, tuner, and station-indicator references. These names support a radio-device family in the world, but they do not by themselves prove station solutions, frequencies, or the relationship to player-held walkie-talkies.

Channel and station status

  • Confirmed: walkie-talkie voice and text behavior (official FAQ); field-radio asset family exists (release build).
  • Open leads: which world radios are interactive, what tuner/station indicators mean, and how they connect to the walkie-talkie.
  • Unverified: any specific channel number, frequency, or station solution. This wiki does not publish invented frequencies.

Broadcast station indicators (build evidence)

The released build names seven station indicators (BroadcastStation_stationindicator_01 through _07), plus sending and listening radio variants (FixedRadio(sending), FixedRadio(listening)) and FM-radio props. The indicators confirm that a station system exists in the world; which indicator maps to which channel or frequency is not published, and station solutions remain unverified.
