Death Stranding: 24 Mind-Bending Tips To Get You Through The First Hours | Beginner’s Guide

November 9, 2019 by Kevin Thielenhaus
Don’t pee in the water.

#13: Drink too much water, and you’ll need to urinate! Hold [D-Pad: Right] and select [Urinate]. Hold [L2] to ready, and hold [R2] to let loose. Sam will get pissed if you try to look at him, so give him some privacy.

#14: Check the intended location for Lost Cargo while you’re porting! You can deliver Lost Cargo anywhere — but you’ll get better rewards the closer you are to the intended destination. Select ‘Entrust’ cargo to get a partial reward.

#15: From Delivery Terminals, you can also reclaim Lost Cargo you’ve ‘Entrusted’ to other players so you can still earn the full reward if no one has claimed the cargo yet.

Ranking up gives you permanent upgrades to your abilities. Improve Cargo Condition to upgrade your Balance, and Delivery Volume upgrades your Maximum Carry Weight.

#16: You can donate Items / Weapons you don’t want for Likes! Or recycle extra stuff to add to the resources available at your individual waypoint. The waypoints don’t share resources, so if you’re just going to throw stuff on the ground, might as well recycle or donate.

#17: Press [Triangle] to auto-arrange cargo, which automatically distributes the weight to your Suit Cargo Points, freeing up room for more Cargo on your back. Cargo is much less likely to fall from your suit hardpoints if you trip.

#18: Don’t move, and Sam will rest. Wait long enough, he’ll even fall asleep. If you’re out of water and desperate, this is a good way to refill your Max Stamina. Just press [Circle] and give yourself a massage, or choose to sleep.
