I froze at the rusted gate when my inventory flashed full. You feel the map suddenly heavier—those blue icons matter more than your first sofa. That little panic is exactly the moment you want to win.
I’ve spent hours in Big Walk poking under roofs and through tunnels so you don’t have to. I’ll point you to every backpack and waist bag, explain the trick about the blue buildings, and tell you which one spot hands you two items at once.
Sidewalks smell of rain and hot asphalt — How to find all backpacks and waist bags in Big Walk
Open the foldable map on Steam, PlayStation, or Xbox and scan for blue buildings. The blue buildings are not the same as the blue tower you use to activate the train; they are smaller markers dotted across the map. There are 10 of these blue buildings total, and each one hides either a waist bag or a backpack.
The blue buildings stand out like loose screws in a junk drawer, so mark them off as you visit. If you’re playing with friends, remember: each blue building can only give its item to one player. So if you want every item in your inventory, you and your party should spread out and sweep the map rather than crowd one marker.
- Orange waist bag
- Orange backpack
- Light blue backpack
- Green waist bag
- Purple waist bag — take the tunnel that runs from the Yellow Tower to the Blue Tower; that’s the easiest route to this one.
- Yellow backpack
- Teal backpack
- Yellow waist bag
- Pink backpack
- Red backpack and teal waist bag — this is the only spawn that offers both items. You can reach it after solving the Green Tower; the tower opens access to a nearby spot where both are located.
Where are all backpacks and waist bags in Big Walk?
There are exactly 10 blue buildings on the map that drop these items. Use the foldable map to hunt them down; they’re sprinkled across the map so you’ll be moving between towers and tunnels. If you want a clean route, start at one corner of the map and sweep toward the Blue Tower—tunneling between Yellow and Blue will net you the purple waist bag quickly.
Can more than one player pick up a backpack or waist bag?
No. Each blue building contains a single pick-up. That’s why I recommend splitting your team across zones or following a simple checklist. The trick that speedrunners share on Steam Community Guides is to assign one player to towers and one to tunnels—that reduces overlap and maximizes total haul.
Quick pro tip: if you play on PlayStation or Xbox with friends, communicate who will claim each blue building before you open it. And when you spot the final cluster near the Green Tower, move fast—those double-item spawns draw attention like a neon sign in fog.
