Why the Warehouse Secret Characters Matter
The warehouse secret characters give you more playable options after exploring beyond the usual fights. In Stick It to the Stickman, the Distribution Center warehouse connects to city-based hidden challenges that unlock superhero-inspired characters with distinct themes.
The main secret rewards are a web-slinging character and a nighttime vigilante character. Neither appears to be earned merely by winning a normal run: you need to notice objects around the city, complete the related task chain, and return to the walkie-talkie when prompted.
| Secret reward | Main city clue | Follow-up task |
|---|---|---|
| Web shooter | Three web strands | Capture criminals with a lasso |
| Dark Knight | Red cardboard posters | Defeat assigned enemies |
These activities are especially worthwhile if you have already beaten a Distribution Center boss and can select characters connected to that location. The city is not just a travel area; it contains the clues needed to activate both unlock paths.
Preparing for the City Challenges
Before looking for hidden objects, make sure you can access the city after progressing through the Distribution Center. One reported path begins after defeating one of the warehouse bosses, which makes selected warehouse-related characters available.
City exploration is easier when you slow down and look around landmarks instead of moving directly toward your next fight. Important clues can be attached to ordinary scenery, placed near buildings, or hidden along routes that are easy to drive past.
| Preparation step | Why it helps |
|---|---|
| Defeat a Distribution Center boss | Opens the progression needed for the warehouse-related character route |
| Visit the city | Both secret-character challenges begin there |
| Open available crates | Crates may contain useful equipment, such as Kevlar armor or a camera |
| Watch for walkie-talkie icons | The radio advances each hidden challenge after its first objective |
A camera is particularly relevant for the web challenge because the web strands must be photographed. If a crate gives you a camera, keep it available before searching the city.
For the poster challenge, a vehicle can be useful. One cardboard target is positioned beyond a gate, and driving through the gate lets you reach it more easily. You do not need perfect driving; the important part is getting through the obstacle and destroying the target.
Use this short checklist before starting either route:
- Enter the city with enough time to explore its edges and landmarks.
- Check crates if you need a camera or defensive gear.
- Look at the upper-right area of the interface for a walkie-talkie objective.
- Revisit the radio after completing a set of clues.
- Finish the combat assignment that follows the radio message.
Unlocking the Web Shooter
The web shooter is the more investigation-focused warehouse secret character. The route starts by finding and photographing three web strands placed around the city. Each successful photo produces a recognizable confirmation sound, so use that audio cue to avoid accidentally leaving an area before the game registers the clue.
The strands are spread across recognizable locations rather than clustered together. One is near a power generator. Another hangs around a mailbox by the employee evaluation area. A third web clue is elsewhere in the city, so keep searching after the first two rather than assuming the objective is complete.
| Web clue | Reported location | Required action |
|---|---|---|
| First strand | Near the power generator | Take a photograph |
| Second strand | By a mailbox near Employee Evaluation | Take a photograph |
| Third strand | Another city location | Take a photograph |
Once all three photos are taken, go to the walkie-talkie. The radio message confirms that the web clues were noticed and gives you a second job: use a lasso to catch criminals and bring them to the police station.
This second stage is not simply a fight. You need to locate the criminals, restrain them with the lasso, and deliver them to the police. The task calls for three criminals, matching the three web photographs that started the challenge.
A practical way to complete the route is:
- Photograph every visible web strand before heading to the radio.
- Go directly to the walkie-talkie after the third confirmation sound.
- Pick up or locate the lasso required by the new assignment.
- Catch three criminals rather than only knocking them down.
- Bring the captured criminals to the police station.
- Listen for the final confirmation and check your unlocked character selection.
Completing the delivery unlocks the web shooter. The character is presented with the familiar “great power” theme and is associated with shooting webs. If the reward does not appear immediately, verify that all three criminals were delivered; the count matters just as much as finding every web clue.
Unlocking the Dark Knight
The Dark Knight route begins with red posters or cardboard CEO cutouts scattered around the city. Your goal is to destroy every one of them. These targets can blend into the environment, so scan the edges of roads, tree areas, building fronts, and elevated routes.
Several reported poster locations include the upper-right part of the city, an area by trees, a spot near the hospital, and a final target on a bridge. Another target can be reached by breaking through a gate with a car.
| Poster search area | What to look for | Access note |
|---|---|---|
| Upper-right city area | Red cardboard poster | Search the corner carefully |
| Trees | Hidden red cutout | Check behind or beside scenery |
| Hospital | Red poster near the building | Easy to miss while moving quickly |
| Gated area | Cardboard target | A car can break through the gate |
| Bridge | Final hidden poster | Check the upper route |
After breaking the full set of posters, approach the walkie-talkie. The radio recognizes that you passed the cardboard CEO test and sends you to deal with a small group of enemies.
The exact fight is short but should be treated as the final requirement, not an optional event. Defeat the assigned enemies, then listen for the completion dialogue. The reward is the Dark Knight, a vigilante-themed character whose dialogue emphasizes working at night.
If you are stuck, the most likely missing step is a poster rather than the fight. The bridge target is easy to overlook, and the gated target may remain inaccessible until you use a vehicle. Return to the city and systematically recheck the locations before assuming the unlock is bugged.
