Visual signalling

Flare

Fire a bright signal into the sky to mark your position for distant friends.

A flare sends a bright, unmistakable signal into the sky — a wordless way to say "I'm here" or "come to me" that cuts straight through the chaos when voices can't reach. It's one of the fastest ways to reunite a scattered group.

How to use the Flare

  • Agree in advance what a flare means: rally point, danger, or "found it".
  • Pair with binoculars so distant teammates can pinpoint the source.
  • Use sparingly so the signal stays meaningful.
Remember: in Big Walk the challenge is being understood. Match your tool to the distance and situation, and agree on what each signal means before you need it. See the proximity voice chat guide for the full picture.
