The Eraser is a small rubber eraser of the kind found in any pencil case. In the game it is used on maps.
It is for survivors who mark up their maps. Notes and symbols drawn on a map can pile up and get in the way. The eraser lets any of those marks be wiped off. It weighs almost nothing and fits anywhere.
Erasers are common in schools, art stores, daycares and fairground game stalls.
Using
The eraser works from the map screen. With an eraser in the inventory, opening a map shows a "Remove Marking" button at the bottom of the window. Any mark can then be removed, whether it was drawn with a pen or a pencil. Marks printed on an annotated map found in loot can be removed too.
That makes the eraser useful for keeping a working map clean. Old loot notes, cleared houses and outdated danger marks can all be wiped and redrawn.
Locations
Fairground game stalls are a strong place to look. Dart, duck shoot, hoop, ring toss and throwing game counters hold one almost half the time. Art stores keep them on shelves about one time in three. Pencil cases hold one about one time in five. Side tables and counters in any building turn one up fairly often. Daycares, classrooms and school shelves are reliable too. It is a common find.
