How to unlock the tunnels in Big Walk

Overview & Key Takeaways

There are several colorful connected tunnels in Big Walk that make traversing the island easy. Here's how to unlock them.

In Big Walk, you'll see colored tunnels jutting out of the mountains and hills, but you won't be able to actually do anything with them at first. You'll need to complete one of the towers specifically to open these tunnels up, and once you do, you'll be able to travel around the map underground without needing to scale any cliffs.

Below we explain how to unlock the tunnels in Big Walk.

How to open the tunnels in Big Walk

To open all the tunnels, you'll need to complete the yellow tower on the northern part of the map. This tower is pretty far from the starting area, but you can walk there right away if you want. You can also complete the green tower and take the ski lift north, if you don't feel like walking.

Collect five of the red gourd-shaped collectibles that you receive after completing a challenge and place them into the compartments at the top of the tower. Then, take the key to the base of the tower and place it into the five keyholes scattered around the area until you finally end up at a yellow tunnel entrance near the black tower and under the ski lift. Insert the key into there, and all the tunnel entrances will open.

The tunnels are completely dark inside, but each entrance will have a flashlight waiting for you on the floor to use. To use the tunnels, you'll just need to enter and then follow the signs inside towards whatever tower you're trying to get close to. It will still take a bit to get there since it's a big walk (ha), but it's better than traveling up and down cliffs where you may get stuck on rocks and whatnot.

Alongside being used as a way to quickly get to certain areas, the tunnels have a few special surprises inside, so make sure to explore them thoroughly!

Fortnite's Upcoming Season Includes Crossovers With Iconic Games Like Sonic, Mega Man, Persona, and Kingdom Hearts

!Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/17/a7d19c04/chapter7season4overrideofficialtrailer0-32screenshot.jpg.webp) Fortnite's newest season, Override, begins on August 20, and yesterday's trailer confirmed the new map and battle pass will be centered on a wide range of video game crossovers. The most notable inclusion is Sonic the Hedgehog; he'll be playable as a skin (stretched to fit Fortnite's standard proportions), and elements of Green Hill Zone will appear on the map. The new footage shows Jonesy running fast enough to go upside-down on one of the series' staple gravity-defying loops. However, Sonic is just the tip of the iceberg in Chapter 7, Season 4 of Fortnite. In addition to other characters from his universe, including Tails, Dr. Eggman, and Shadow, the trailer also includes glimpses of Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro the Dragon(https://gameinformer.com/xbox-games-showcase/2026/06/07/spyro-a-realm-beyond-is-a-brand-new-spyro-adventure), Joker from Persona 5, and giant Tetris blocks that fall from the sky. Key art released by the official Fortnite account also shows glimpses of Pac-Man and Sora from Kingdom Hearts (who we recently saw a lot of in the new D23 footage(https://gameinformer.com/2026/08/17/kingdom-hearts-iv-gets-2027-launch-window-coco-world-reveal-kingdom-hearts-anime)). Meanwhile, it looks like other characters who have appeared as skins in past seasons, like Master Chief, Geralt, Ryu, and Lara Croft, are also returning (to the battle shop). !Game Informer News(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/bodydefault/public/2026/08/17/ab1eeeff/fortniteoverride.jpg.webp)(https://gameinformer.com/sites/default/files/styles/nocompression/public/2026/08/17/ab1eeeff/fortniteoverride.jpg.webp) Gameplay-wise, the trailer also shows a backpack-based power-up system, where wearing items associated with characters like Sonic or Tails gives you the powers of speed or flight, respectively. We also see weapons like Mega Man's arm cannon and the 8-bit shotgun, the latter of which seems to track the player's score. The trailer concludes with a glimpse of Geno, a major villain in Fortnite's lore who will presumably be appearing as a boss for players to battle. You can check out the full trailer below: Fortnite's Chapter 7, Season 4 Override begins on August 20, and you can play it on basically every platform you can think of: PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, PS4, Xbox One, Switch, PC, iOS, and Android.
