How to Use
Waist bag
Allows you to bypass the limit of one item per person. Holds smaller items like Radios and Walkie-Talkies only, so it’s not a permanent solution.
Backpack
Adds an extra item slot. Instead of one, you can carry two items of all sizes and shapes.

Items
How to Use
Walkie-Talkie
Arguably the most important item when it comes to in-game communication. With this, you can speak with your buddies irrespective of the distance between the two of you.
Flare Gun
Useful to pinpoint your location on the map. If someone from your group has got separated, you can shoot a flare to disclose your approximate location.
Paintbrush
You can use this to draw markings on the ground and paint surfaces to leave clues for your teammates.
Laser Pointer
Allows you to point at specific directions to your buddies.
Location

How to Use
Map
There are two maps to find. A big static one can be found in the map room, and you can also find a foldable one. The foldable map allows you to find out specific puzzle locations.
Binoculars
Allows you to zoom in on distant areas and find out different puzzle spots.
Compass
Shows different directions while you’re moving across the map. You can then call out the directions to your teammates so that you don’t lose your way as a group.

How to Use
Ball Lamp
While this item isn’t required to solve a puzzle directly, it’s extremely helpful to light your way in the dark. Without it, solving puzzles at night becomes a nightmare.
Key Cutter
Required to shape the keys into a usable version that can be placed to complete the Tower Challenges (Red, Yellow, Blue, and Drawbridge).
Sound Shrine
Walk in circles around them to change their pitch to solve audio puzzles.
Telescope
Look through the lens to spot hidden targets or puzzle items at a distance. It also lights them up to make it easy for you to find on the map.
