In this guide, we answer all the most important questions about Death Stranding . You'll learn where to find weapons, how to defeat enemies, collect crystals, check the weather, and more.
The easiest way is to search for materials while exploring the open world. Use Sam's scanner as often as possible. Much more resources will come across to you if you play online. Sam carries resources on his back, so he won't be able to carry much. Deliver them to any allied location. There you can recycle the found items.
Each location has its own supply of materials. He is limited. If you take an item from the first location to the second, then you may not have enough resources to create something in the first location. Each location also has a limited resource storage. Do not exceed the limit, because in this case, the extra resources will simply disappear.

At the start of the game, you cannot pick up Chiral Crystals. To do this, you will have to get a special tool - a chiral assembler. Continue to complete the story missions until you complete order #8. As part of it, you will just collect the first chiral crystals.
block-image">To do this, you need to get an order in the center south of Lake Knot City. It will become available in the third chapter. You need order number 37, which involves visiting a place owned by a cosplayer. Go to the small bunker with stones, where there is an interactive terminal inside. It is necessary for the delivery of goods. Talk to the woman, when you connect the shelter to the network, you will see a hologram of Conan. From it you will receive an otter hood . The hero will equip the item automatically when he reaches any place with a temporary drop. After a while, you will also receive an email from Conan.
Perhaps we are talking about one of the most important parameters of Sam in Death Stranding. In the inventory menu, you can see the current value of the carrying capacity. The top one is the weight of the items you can carry, the bottom one is your limit. By default, Sam can carry up to 120kg. There are ways to increase this parameter.
If Sam carries a lot of items, the indicator will turn yellow. Your stamina will deplete faster and you will be able to lose your balance more easily. When you exceed the load capacity, you will see a red indicator. Sam b?Children move much more slowly or even stand in one place. Throw away excess items.
Develop a hero to increase the parameter. Open the Porter Grade menu that appears each time an order is completed. The delivery volume is related to the carrying capacity. Every time he goes up 10 levels, Sam's carrying capacity increases. The bonus is small (+5kg), but it's better than nothing.
Another way to increase the carrying capacity is to use an exoskeleton. The Power Skeleton seems to be the most useful, since its purpose is to increase the load limit by 100 kg. However, the exoskeleton gives a temporary bonus to the carrying capacity! It will shrink or disappear if the battery runs out, you equip another exoskeleton, or the current set is destroyed.
You can also reduce the weight of the cargo being carried by placing items on the vehicle:
After a few introductory tasks, you will receive your Bridge Baby. After that, Sam will not be able to leave the child. The main purpose of the BB is to detect dead souls - invisible creatures that you encountered at the very beginning. The scanner will be able totell you exactly where the enemies are. By default, the scanner flashes white, but when you get close to an enemy, it will turn orange.
The scanner will only work properly if the child is not sick or overworked. If you see him crying, hold L1 and choose the option to calm the BB. You will need to move the controller or hold R2.
A more serious problem is the development of autotoxicity in BB, which is why he will not be able to help you at all. For the first time you will learn about the disease in order No. 5. You need to go back to your room and send the BB to the incubator.
By throwing unnecessary items out of your inventory, you run the risk of parting with them once and for all. As soon as you move away from such a thing, it will disappear. But what seems unnecessary now may come in handy later. We are talking about weapons, grenades, spare exoskeletons. You can store all of these in the lockers where the terminal is located.
Each locker is unique, which means that its contents will not be visible in another cabinet. You will have to carry the items yourself if they are needed elsewhere. Vehicles can be stored in garages. Each garage can store up to four vehicles.
Just remember that from time to time you will have to throw out worn out shoes and put on new (or used, but still intact). When you move through regions with a time difference, the shoes wear out even faster. To check the current state of the boots, open your inventory or look at the blue bar next to the boots icon. When more than half of the durability is consumed, ideally you need to change shoes.
If you move without shoes, then Sam will get injured, gradually losing health points (blood). You can create new shoes through the crafting menu. Visit an allied location and select the Craft Equipment option. Find an item from the list. After completing order #24, shoes of the second level are unlocked, which are much stronger.
There are two alternative ways to protect your legs in Death Stranding:
Damage can be done in several ways:
In the inventory, you can see the status of the cargo. There are two separate scales - the status of the container and the cargo. Usually, the first one is depleted first, and after that, the second one. However, you can damage the cargo even if the container still has some strength.
Containers can be repaired, but not cargo. If the item is damaged, then so it will remain. But you can buy or craft the same item to bring to the customer.
Containers can be repaired after order #8, when you learn how to collect chiral crystals. You will receive a Container Repair Spray. More can be crafted or found in the open world. The longer you spray the container lowered to the ground, the more you restore durability.
After Order #27, you will gain access to Time Drop Hideouts. They will allow you to repair containers. Once inside, you will immediately restore the container. In online mode, you can use the shelters of other gamers.
The fall of time is a unique natural phenomenon. One can classify it as polluted rain, whichry leads to the aging of all living things. Thanks to a protective suit, the main character hides from such a rain. However, during the game you will see several characters that are affected by the rain. In the case of cargo and structures, you will see how their surface is gradually damaged.
Such rain appears in some scripted situations, which is conceived according to the plot of the game. in online mode, you can find signs left by other gamers that warn you about the fall of time.
After order #27, you will unlock the weather forecast feature. Areas where it can rain will be marked in blue on the map. Also, for completing this quest, you will receive a shelter from a temporary fall. You can build this structure yourself to hide from the rain or temporarily leave the cargo in a safe place.
It is logical that the appearance of the hero himself cannot be changed. However, you can customize the armor (exoskeleton), shoes and backpack. As you progress through the story of the game, you will unlock many mods for the exoskeleton. You will also be able to receive sunglasses, caps and other items of regular clothing that are purely cosmetic. In the shelter, you can change the color of objects -stand opposite the bed. Finally, you can choose a different hairstyle for the main character.
The cap in Death Stranding is an element of hero customization. You can only put on a cosmetic item before leaving the bunker, as Sam automatically removes all such items while resting. A cap, glasses and other things that only change the appearance of the hero can be obtained by completing side and story missions.
This can be done after the plot order number 19. After completing it, you will receive the first exoskeleton. Even though it's heavy, you won't be overwhelmed, on the contrary, Sam's carrying capacity will increase by 100kg. Also, the exoskeleton allows you to move faster, jump higher, but consumes energy. Use sunbeams or generators to charge your battery.
Your first exoskeleton is not the only one in the game. After order #33, you will receive a speed-enhancing exoskeleton.
You needwill wait for the completion of the order number 8. As part of it, you will receive a special crystal collector.
Unfortunately, you cannot prevent the motorcycle from being lost at the start of the game. during the first hours you will have to move on foot. Everything will change with order #9. As one of the rewards, you will receive a generator. Buy a special construction gadget if you want to build a generator yourself. The first motorcycle (three-wheeled) is located west of Capital Knot City, near the order distribution center. Install a generator next to it. The generator charges the vehicle wirelessly, just by being near it.
This feature will not be available right away. In the first hours you will have to move on foot or by transport. The option will become available upon reaching the third chapter. During a visit to one of the shelters, the main character will meet Fragile, who will tell you about Sam's ability to teleport. Interact with the "umbrella" to activate the function. There is one in every shelter in the world.
The available fast travel locations are the hideouts you have already accessed, as well as the hero's dungeons. You will move completely free of charge, but only the main character can do this, whileme as cargo and equipment remain in place. Remember that fast travel results in inventory loss. Use lockers to store items.
The alternative is to use vehicles. Each car has a limited capacity, but you can still move more cargo.
To add sound or visual holograms to any structures, you need to increase their level to the second. You will have to spend additional crafting materials. Once you've made an improvement, interact with the structure and select a setting. Here you can leave musical accompaniment, a short message or a hologram.
Likes you get from various NPCs and other gamers. Likes from NPCs are a kind of experience points. You will receive them for completing orders. These likes increase the level of the hero. In each location, the maximum level is 5 stars. Moving to new levels provides more rewards. You will also level up various parameters. For every ten levels, some attribute of Sam can increase - for example, carrying capacity or maintaining balance.
What more?The more likes you get from other gamers, the more traces of their presence you see in the world around you. That is, the more useful your messages and holograms bring, the more help you will receive from other players.
There are so many benefits to playing online. Therefore, we strongly recommend that you do not go offline.
After starting the game, you choose your date of birth. However, the game does not name the importance of this parameter. On your birthday, you will receive an e-mail with wishes from all the NPCs. The letter will contain a small gift with a portion of likes. They will be automatically transferred to your "account". In a private room you can find a birthday cake.
The MULE camps are surrounded by sensors that alert them that you are carrying a load. You can find them yourself or with a scanner. As you progress through the game, you will receive gadgets that will allow you to counteract these sensors. In the meantime, you can sneak into the camp, leaving the cargo outside the range of the sensors. Or run away if you are spotted by the sensors, because the MULEs need some time, thOby to get to the place where the alarm went off.
It is not necessary to install observation towers. Each MULE has some sort of cargo on its back, making it easier to find opponents. Use your scanner. In most areas where there are MULEs, tall grass grows. You can hide in it. From the very beginning of the game, a special cord is available to you, with which you can choke your targets (and tie up the cargo). Approach the enemy and select the cord from inventory.
As we wrote above, from the very beginning a cord is available to you, with which you can choke opponents by approaching them from behind. Next, you can get Bol's cannon. Complete order #22. Unfortunately, this installation will have a limited number of shells. You can craft new ones. The weapon acts like a stun gun - it shoots wires through which an electric current moves. Unlike Cord, this gun can be used even when Sam is detected.
After order #14 you will be able to use hematic grenades, and in quest #15 you will be able to try them out. Such grenades allow you to drive away ghosts, but they absorb the hero's blood. Blood is consumed either from Sam's HP bar or from blood packs in the inventory. In hand-to-hand combat, only MULEs can be fought. Use dodges and hit vr??ha, until he loses consciousness.
In order #38 you will receive a shipment with a nuclear bomb, which was handed over by a mysterious courier. It's actually a trap. The bomb will explode if you immediately go to the south of Knot City (at the entrance gate), leave it on the ground and move away, or the cargo will be destroyed. In each case, the Game Over screen will appear.
To avoid the explosion, go to the distribution center south of Knot City Lake, in the place where Fragile is located. Take the elevator down to the private room to see the vision. The mysterious package was handed over by Higgs. Talk to Fragile. You will need to deliver the bomb to the crater lake before it explodes. That is, do it in 20 minutes. We recommend using transport. Throw the bomb into the lake and watch the cut-scene.
It is impossible to get around the ghosts, since the forest is surrounded by mountains. The main problem is that the hero does not have grenades or other means to fight ghosts. When you enter the forest, an antenna will start working, which points in the direction where the dead are. Ora??yellow color means that the enemy is located nearby. Just avoid the ghosts while keeping a safe distance.
If you are found, then start running. Watch out for branches and rocks to avoid tripping and losing your load. If this happens, return to the cargo as soon as you escape the ghost. Click on the "square" if you are caught by monsters in black slime. Leave the slime if you get sucked into it.
Shower water, urine and feces are converted into various types of grenades that can be used in the fight against the dead. These grenades are not automatically added to the inventory. When you leave the room, look in the locker and take the items.
Only with hematic grenades.
We have described this above.
Grenades are created when the hero takes a shower or goes to the toilet.
Select the appropriate option when interacting with your child.
You will receive holograms for different communication levels.
You will unlock a special device after order #27.
After order #27 you will be able to build special shelters.
Visit any of Sam's rooms and relax. Or just stand still and hold the circle. In addition, you still need to rest, as exhaustion means that Sam can only restore a limited amount of stamina. That is, its maximum is reduced.
Building a bridge in Death Stranding is not difficult, especially since you will have to do it during the passage of the story. Bridges allow you to cross to the opposite side of the river, where you can not get in another way.
Basically, when looking around the shore, you can find the foundation already laid. In this caseyou just have to build a building. But there are situations when the foundation is missing. In this case, it is necessary to build it, having previously mined 800 units of metal. Since the game includes the support of other users, you can find existing buildings on the map and use them for your own purposes. This will save a lot of time.
Rain in Death Stranding is unusual, since during this weather event all living and non-living organisms (except for the main character) age. Naturally, this directly affects the transported cargo. It is very difficult to shelter from the rain, since most of the terrain in the game is meadows and fields. If you are lucky, you can find a cave and wait out the rain in it. And around the middle of the game, Sam will be able to build a building with a roof. But, until then, we recommend taking a repair spray with you on a trip to restore the condition of the cargo after the rain stops.
The game contains a full-fledged cast, which includes both well-known actors of our time, and not so:
Just like any other cargo. But in order not to damage the pizza, place it horizontally. Transport in the form of trucks and motorcycles will help you deliver pizza on time.
The death of the protagonist in the game will not affect his accumulated experience or characteristics in any way. The hero will simply respawn on the next save, but will lose all the cargo. In this case, you have to carry?Rotate to the place of death and look for lost items.
Shoes worn out while traveling can cause the hero to stumble every few meters. This will make it very difficult to move around the location. You can find new shoes by defeating MULE enemies. It is not necessary to kill them: just knock out the opponent and equip his shoes. The new thing will serve you faithfully to the nearest base.
Likes in the game are an integral social part, which is done quite competently. You can earn "likes" by completing NPC delivery tasks, as well as by receiving them from other players. To earn likes from other users, you just need to build some useful object on the map that will help players during the passage. Let's say you built a bridge that you spent a lot of time and effort on. A gamer who walks across your bridge in a "parallel walk" will rate the build and give you a like, as they won't have to spend time building the structure.
To lay the necessary route, it is enough to place a mark on the map. You can use up to five tags at the same time, which will have names from "A" to "E".
To carry more cargo, you can increase the carrying capacity of the main character. For the first time, this can be done in the central region, at the engineer. After completing some tasks, he will kindly provide you with an exoskeleton with which you can carry more cargo.
