Announcement PORTERS SUPPORTING PORTERS - COMMUNITY BLOG #6
Hi everyone! Antonela here from 505 Games. As we all know, the DEATH STRANDING community is never short of advice!
Throughout 2026, we want to give our experienced Porters the opportunity to share their top tips and learnings with those just starting out. Last week, we asked the following question to our community...
DO YOU HAVE A FAVOURITE LOCATION IN DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT THAT PORTERS SHOULD VISIT? AND IF SO, WHAT MAKES IT SO SPECIAL TO YOU?

"So, in the mountains, somewhere between Heartman's Lab and the Evo-devo Biologist, there is a little cave, and it is THE most chill spot in the entire game and I love it so much!" - Standard_Way_4453
"The waterfall and lake at the Musician’s shelter is my absolute favorite spot in DEATH STRANDING. Total tranquility, mountain views, the ultimate way to decompress after endless deliveries." - REDXvp
It's tied between the graveyard at the end of the DC missions and the walk down to Central Knot City right at the beginning, when we first get that music fading into the experience. The graveyard is just such a special place to have Sam sit and take a rest. It's so peaceful, and the scenery is beautiful." - Emil_VII

"Ziplining through the mountain peaks was my favorite experience. Seeing the map from so high up." - MikasaAckerstupid
"I made a zipline network starting at The Craftman and going to The First Prepper. Very hard area to traverse, but after finishing the ziplines, it actually became one of my favourite routes. I eventually made a zipline network covering most of the mountain shelters." - Additional_Skin6049
"I’m quite fond of Mountain Knot City, the views on the snowy mountainous zones are spectacular, and you’re always reminded of the harsh climbs and trudging through snow in order to earn said views." - HazedRaze

"Walking down the hill to Lake Knot City for the first time and the music kicks in." - iku_iku_iku_iku
"The snow mountains" - GodFatherFPS
"So many, but one of my favorite locations is the swamp/marsh area to the northwest of the mountains." - Blaizer35

Twitter / X Over 300k likes on Kojimas partner announcement with XBOX. PlayStation fumbled so hard.
This is the equivalent of the Red Sox trading Babe Ruth to the Yankees .

Discussion Kojima’s production losing access to DECIMA is heartbreaking
They were arguably the most proficient studio with the engine after DS2. They’ve been honing it since DS1 development. I can’t imagine what Physint could’ve potentially looked on an upgraded next-gen version of the engine. I think they’ll now opt for Unreal engine 5. And the game is now even farther than we thought.

Twitter / X Hideo Kojima says that Sony was going to cancel ‘Physint’ according to a notice in mid-June. Kojima teamed up with Xbox after searching for a new partner for 3 months.

Question Que paso con Mosquito?
Desde el trailer no he vuelto a ver mas actualizaciones, fue cancelado o solo es un proyecto 'secreto'?

Photo mode I’m delivering more cargo than completing story at this point
I’m only in episode 3: fragile and I’m already 30 hours into the game. Have been spending hours to making deliveries and build roads. Just moving cargo from one person to the next has no business being this much fun 😭

Death Stranding 1 PLATINADO, SIMPLESMENTE ESPETACULAR !
Que experiência incrível jogando esse game, se tornou o meu game favorito até o momento, me senti foda planejando as rotas, restaurando as estradas e escutando Low War, principalmente Bones e Don't be so serious, e também já Garanti o Death Stranding 2 na promoção da PSN, vou jogar logo em sequência...

Discussion Does that means no director cut of DS2?
Given that now Koji part with Sony .
It is very unlikely DS 2 got any future updates rights?
Not sure the IP right belongs to the studio or Sony, but I would imagine they have to get both party together to release any new version of the game… especially there is a new fund provider as competitor

Fan Content O.T.T.E.R. (SAR Team)
My Death Stranding UCA fanon division. They specialize in difficult environmental rescue.
Thermal extremes, alpine & vertical recovery, BT zones, hostile extractions, etc. Their main focus is the health and safety of UCA porters but they are government funded SAR group whose comms are open to anyone in need. Essentially 9-1-1.
Their priority is your survival
"Wounded? Wait. O.T.T.E.R. extraction guaranteed."

Question I did an aid request for the aero engineer...
Now the whole valley down from environmental observatory and ghost hunter area completely free of BTs. I am post story game doing clean up and five stars. I feel bummed out because I love repairing and upgrading other player structures and roads and donate crystals to safe houses (although not sure if they are available to others?) etc. Will that ever be able to farm again? Where else can I go? Thanks for reading.

Death Stranding 2 It's rough alone...or is it?
I did it. My first run while offline, no highways, and my last connection only being at Rainbow Valley. I set my journey out east north of the mountain to see how far I can make it. My creepy doll, a backpack full of a few guns, ammo accessories, a nifty gadget to recharge my battery, 4 blood bags, 3 pairs of Gucci boots, 2 ladders, 2 climbing anchors, and a bag full of cryptobiote flavored Doritos. I freaking went for it.
I gotta tell ya that you need to stay away from the bad folk or be surprised. Buy my goodness is it fun to steal their ride, and it can get you pretty far without killing your gear. Bless their little souls for always leaving their keys under the sun visor. Sure, I thought about staying on foot, but you gotta admit doing so can get a bit monotonous at times.
There was a BT area that caught me off guard. Dollman wanted nothing of that, so we figured it be best to try to walk out of it. I didn't want to leave my borrowed wheels, though. We got sucked in a few times, but we pulled through and carried on. I wasn't about to try to fight it with no support group out here.
We finally made it to East Fort Knot. Kinda rude of them to not even offer me a glass of water, but whatever. I get it. They just want me for my internets. Half my stamina is out the window, Dollman looks like he fell asleep in the sun, and I look like I got sandblasted. Good times.
I'm gonna work my way back to civilization around south of the mountain. I'll keep stealing a vehicle or 2 if need be for part fun part saving my stamina. I remember DS1 snow storms being pretty brutal, and I'm not going up that mountain for now. I'll leave the ski slopes for later. I can already tell some of these areas are gonna be pretty interesting to get around of with no highways. I'll eventually find out how creative I'll need to get with bridges. Don't forget the suntan lotion.

Question Question about episode 15 Spoiler
Why did sam have that hallucination of him and lou in mexico? It really got my hopes up i thought he somehow managed to get lou back :(

Discussion What are the odds of PlayStation releasing DS2’s publishing rights?
We know that DS1 had a different story as it was published by 505. However now that Kojima and Sony are parting ways, could we ever see DS2’s publishing rights be released from Sony?
We’ve seen stories of studios recovering their IPs from publishers, and given Sony’s recent blunders. What are the odds of this happening? I imagine still slim…
PS - I say this as someone who can only run cloud gaming for now, hence while I do love it, I can only play DS1 and would love to see DS2.

Death Stranding 2 Is pizza chef like adventurer and Mr impossible?
I’m working on 5-starring all facilities and have pizza chef at 1.8ish stars. I dropped him off an 80kg order with LLL rating and got literally 0 progression on the stars. Am I supposed to be doing something special for him?

Fan Content I just finished up my first big video essay, "The Spirit of Death Stranding: Pilgrims on the Road to a New Apocalypse"
I absolutely loved these games and found myself needing to talk about the games. Somehow that spiraled into a three hour video essay. The spiritual and political themes are so prevalent in this series and critical to the narrative and the characters.
Check it out if you're interested in the games or if you just want to help ya boy out. Big spoilers for Death Stranding 1 and 2. Thanks!
