The Marker - Red is a felt-tip marker with red ink. It is a writing tool, used mostly to mark up maps.

Any survivor who keeps notes on a map can use one. It adds notes and symbols in red to the world map and to paper maps. It weighs very little, so it costs nothing to carry.

Red markers are found in schools, stores and homes. The marker comes in four colours, each with its own page: black, blue, green and red.

Using


With the marker in the inventory, a map can take notes and symbols. A writing tool is needed to add, edit or move a mark. Editing or moving a mark also needs an Eraser. Removing a mark takes only the Eraser.

Red is one of the five colours a map mark can take. The others are black, grey, blue and green. Red stands out sharply on the map, so it suits warnings. Hordes, blocked roads and dangerous buildings are clear at a glance in red.

Locations


Side tables in any building hold one now and then. General store shelves are about as good. School classrooms of every kind keep them on counters, shelves and metal shelves. Pencil cases, Gigamart shelves and book store counters turn them up less often. Post offices, daycares and some staff lockers hold them rarely. It is a common find overall, since so many places stock it.
