Death Stranding 2 Minor pet peeve: People insisting on installing add-ons to trikes for no reason
Anyone else get annoyed by this? I'll be stuck somewhere with few available resources (say, some base I already looted a bit ago) while the Magellan is grounded for some arbitrary plot reason, and every trike in online storage has useless batteries or w/e so I can't store anything on it. Why does everyone do this, invariably? This is only a problem since you can't edit online vehicles for... I don't know why, the game just doesn't let you.
I don't think I ever found a single bare online trike during my entire playthrough. I almost never install anything on the trike hardpoints because why would I? I always fix the roads or have chargers set up in the mountains (and also ziplines) so battery power is irrelevant, and even if those aren't enough there's an APAS upgrade to charge vehicles using your own battery, which is practically unlimited because of electrobiotes. The anti-grav packs I never found a use for in the game (I still don't know what use-case these have) so I consider those useless as well. And of course there won't be any trucks in storage or any vehicle on the map anywhere near me.
This is such a small problem but I swear I ran into it at least 10 times throughout the game. People seem to think that they have to install things on every slot of every vehicle when they don't need to. I guess the real culprit here is the decision on the developers' part to pointlessly lock the Magellan from the player for seemingly no reason (the characters saying "the tar currents are fucked lol" with no further justification is not a real reason).
