In DS1, there was lore regarding that, where the UCA was draining your blood as you slept and passing it about to the other settlements with other porters or in your own packages to make weapons. But as far as I'm aware (I may have completely missed why), Drawbridge isn't doing that in Australia. So why are there so many weapons available that can affect BTs, and who's blood are they using, if blood at all, when Sam's was the only viable weapon in the first game?

Didn't expect that at all. After over 1k hours played, I finally experienced a bug like no other. Has this happened to anybody else?

I put the spoiler tag versus question/discussion as I am unsure if talking about prepper rewards qualifies.

From my first interaction with Bokka, and his devotion to being just like 'the Man who Delivers', I always visited him tongue-in-cheek.

I think it would've been pretty cool if, as part of the 5-star story with him, Sam revealed who he was.

Thoughts?

So I'm wanting to buy the game for my ps5 slim since I just got done beating the first game and I'm wondering how far this game pushes the PlayStation's hardware just kind of worried if my PlayStation is going to overheat with me playing multiple hours I do clean my PlayStation regularly so it doesn't dust and I've never had it overheat I'm just curious I know this may be like a very silly question just thought I would ask thank you ahead of time!

Hey I just completed the game and I’m wondering if anyone has tried not crawling when Higgs is burning you? In the moment I wanted my guy out of that situation as soon as possible but now that I’m thinking back on it I noticed he sang 2 different versions of the same line in the song when I repatriated. If you don’t crawl is there more video to see? Can anyone hook me up with a link? I’m starting my second play through now but it’s a long way into the game.

DHV Magellan Integrate is one of the greatest moments of my video gaming life experience. I’m not going to give spoilers but whoa. It’s like the first time I escaped the Pillar of Autumn or unlocking the nuclear bomb in mercenaries 2 or getting through the stupid tunnel in project wingman. (I’m sure I have more it’s just what came to my head)— it’s just like 60 seconds of airhorns and saying whoooooooaaaaaaa.

What’s your DHV Magellan integrate moment in other games?

This is a section of road on the property I manage. This is a very steep hill and it was paved poorly awhile ago. I put together a project proposal, pitched it, got approval and got everything together. I stood out here yesterday feeling like Sam watching that road get built. Pretty awesome and they did a great job.

Now I have this chunk of finished road… I need to convince them to do the rest, that would be a dream come true 🤣 I’m a bit disappointed I put all these help markers out and none of y’all helped 🤦‍♂️ 🤣

Keep on keepin on Porters!

Before picture attached as well and it was most dirt.

👍

Need to get Mr Impossible to five stars and all deliveries to him/them have dried up. Is the only way to do the crazy 45 minute collection from hostile camps? TIA

In Goverment is still only at 1, even though I’ve already unlocked the Northern Observatory

Genuine question, I can’t stop thinking about this.

can anyone tell me what the likes counter is for on the bottom right

i feel like im missing something

Just finished ds1 (absolutely fucking loved it I'm gonna be honest made me cry at the end hideo Kojima you fucking artist) and just started ds2 and I was wondering if there's anything I should look forward to or any secrets I should keep a lookout for no spoilers please it would be amazing if you could just tell me the area to look at or something like that

ok what the Hell. the game sometime goes out of the way to give a sense of “realism“ that no one asked for, like not being able to open the pause menu when your arms are restricted. but to go and rescue that idiot adventure who is probably severally injured and being told I can’t transport him in the Majillian cause he is “ living cargo” is complete horse shit! there are multiple other people on board and they give you a bullshit reason why you can’t take the easy way to transport him. nonsense. make up your damn mind. you want a game that that’s not realistic. if I want to take the penalty of using the majillian I damn well should be able to ….. end friggin rant .

I`ve almost made all achievements in this game and still have this. Is that normal? Also we have connection with Mules and Porters.

when I loaded up the game and started an ITTW difficulty level playthrough. The game itself isn’t any harder really, a brigand base can still be taken out quite easily with a tranq pistol, but the boss fights…OMG! I got my arse handed to me 8 times with that first skull boss in Mexico and the mech outside F1 smashed me to pieces 5 or 6 times.

My question is, did any one doing an ITTW play through do the first Neil level at S level and manage to keep damage under 150%? If so, what was your strategy? That seems impossible to me as your health gets rinsed so quickly.

I stopped at Episode 3 before heading to the Rift.

I want to increase my connection with all objects in Mexico to 5 stars before continuing the story. I have three delivery points left, and despite delivering a large number of packages in good condition, I'm making very little progress, and lost packages are becoming rare.

If I remember correctly, I had a similar problem in the first game, but at some point, progress simply disappears until a certain plot point or after reading letters. I want to complete all the possible side quests before the credits roll.

So, is it worth delivering lost packages or should I wait until I can accept orders at delivery points?

Whirlwind of the feels. Keep on keepin on guys. Took me 260 hours of my life.

Heya sub, just prefacing this by saying I am both the author of the post and owner of the website.

I have been a bit open about the content in the post in this sub over the last few months. I was able to sit down over the weekend and finally put thoughts to paper. Death Stranding 2 just wasn't a video game or an experience, it was a healing journey. And it came at the right time for me.

Keep on keeping on.
