It’s not easy to understand the complex mind of Hideo Kojima. Hideo Kojima is famous for layering his video game systems, as seen in Metal Gear Solid 3, and a new report suggests that players will have access to mechanics that probably won’t see much use at all but will impact play.
A handy list of top things to do early on in Death Stranding 2 has been prepared to make your journey easier. In 11 steps, become more proficient in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
Leverage the Corpus Frequently
The game has instructions that players often miss because they pop up fast or hide in other gaming elements. Fortunately, you can learn to do this via the Corpus – the game’s encyclopedia. In this location, you may discover an organized compilation of tips, with unread ones displayed prominently, which reveals various mechanics and pointers for your better understanding.
With recurring characters and missions being released all the time, you’ll find Corpus entries getting bigger, so after every mission, especially when you’re starting out check those!
Optimize Your Map with Custom Filters
Death Stranding 2’s map allows you to view the weather and chiral regions in the map. Catergorize as Orders, Structures, Vehicles and filter for icons using these categories. More importantly, you can create a custom filter for important items to get a less cluttered view.
With tailored filtering, you can more efficiently focus on crucial work or find specific problems. As a result, it makes you win the game.
Reach Australia for Enhanced Exploration
The early areas in Mexico act as a tutorial in Death Stranding 2 and this may remind players of The Witcher 3’s White Orchard. While there are lots of things to do in Mexico, Australia opens up the story and mechanics even further and adds a helpful travel buddy.
West Fort Knot is located in Tap to Reveal. After arriving here, you can fast travel, not just back to Mexico but anywhere on the Chiral Network that Tarman recognizes as safe.
Monitor Facility Rewards Regularly
It has an added functionality compared to the first version that shows what the facilities offer as your levels case. You can go to the Corpus to see the names of which acquaintances you can contact to see what’s interesting. You may scroll to the end of their text for more information, like how you will earn a new weapon or upgrade your vehicle.
To increase Connection Levels, complete orders and help out facilities with their requests. Use watchtowers to find safe requests or cargo that may have fallen off the ship easily. While on the mainland continent, choose the Government facility in Australia.
Enhance Lone Commander’s Connection Level
After locating the Government facility, seek out the prepper known as the Lone Commander. As you progress through the relationship here, you can get powerful upgrades like a tranq sniper rifle and the Silenced Tranq Sniper Rifle.
It may be hard to keep making progress further down the line but going back to the Lone Commander allows you to use important Standard Orders which are needed to make progress.
Engage in VR Missions for Combat Mastery
Even though combat encounters are more frequent than in the original, they still occur occasionally. The use of VR Missions will help you get familiar with the various weapons and tactics that you will be using and the types of enemies that you will face during confrontations.
Learn to use non-standard controls and tactics such as dodging, parries, and cargo weapons for optimum fighting performance.
Adapt to Stealth and Strand Mechanics
Death Stranding 2’s “Strand” gameplay resemble inserting a cover in a martial arts movie. Learning your Strand means learning the font’s quirks. You can do a stealth take-down without it. Plus, parry and bind when enemies do attacks.
Construct Structures Before Departing Chiral Network Areas
Always make a point to build the required structure like a watchtower or shelter before leaving the area that comes under Chiral Network. These constructions are important because entering an area with a red outline will make you pause. You cannot do anything until the network expands.
When you put stuff at a transition to help you, you also help others.
Initiate Road Construction Early
It takes a lot of resources to build roads off the Chiral Network. It gets easier to do this once you tie Mines and Monorails together, but making early attempts in network-covered areas is helpful.
Completing a shared road project will benefit everyone. Roads take up battery power, crossing paths will not be as hazardous, and will help you easily scout out an edge. You can move goods across a sturdy road if it becomes available.
Organize Non-Essential Cargo in the Magellan
Smart inventory management should be practiced right from the start. Keep non-quest items in the private locker of the Magellan, as they will move across places. Please don’t put anything mission-related in these lockers. You could lose marks if you do.
Simply open the world map, select a facility, and view the locker’s inventory using the facility pop-up option.
Develop Desired Stats Through Practice
Improving a character’s strength and fighting skills in Death Stranding 2 is a constant use of skills you want to improve. Level up your weapon or ability proficiency by putting them into action. For example, if you want to increase your shooting degree of accuracy, use a gun more often. If you want a higher endurance proficiency level, spend more time navigating tough terrain.
Giving extra practice on particular skills early in the adventure results in a more adaptable and effective Sam.
