    Another tip.
    If you're going through an area with timefall and you have cargo you want to protect, rearrange your other cargo so that it surrounds it. This means the rain will hit the non important stuff first keeping your fragile cargo safer.

      Also make judicious use of people's Timefall shelters once you've unlocked them and are able to see players structures. They'll give you a dose of repair spray while you're under them.

    By following you old foot prints or other peoples footprints will eventually clear the area of some rocks and the ground will turn into a path after a few times of taking that same route making it easier to travel through there. I first noticed this when getting to the film directors shelter. When i got there i had to park my bike and walk up to the shelter. But after the cutscene i had a clearing for a path where i just walked.

    One thing I think you forgot to mention with crouching... dont do it for too long. It will litterally hurt you back and you will take hp damage. I heard a quiet crunch sound and Sam exclaimed "well, there goes my back."
    I dont know if it keeps going if you dont straighten up and rest, as I immediately stopped, rearranged my cargo and rested with rubbing my shoulders, but be careful out there all you other porters.

    Still boggles my mind that reviewers complain about falling over all the time when all you have to do is pull in both triggers and you literally never fall. The game tells you this immediately but all reviews show the same video of sam with a body on his back tipping over because they’re deliberately not pulling in the triggers, just to be dramatic about it.

      I know this is old as hell but I just got a PS5 with a ps plus subscription so I've just recently become obsessed with the game. This is for anyone out there like me just starting their first play through...
      I was getting frustrated at how slow the vehicles seemed to be, but I assumed I'd eventually unlock better faster ones as I progressed. I contended with having to use the occasional speed boost signs (even placing several myself) until I realized that just by clicking in L3 (the run button) while driving will put your vehicle into a faster and more tolerable boost mode. It burns through battery charge quicker but shouldn't be an issue if you stick to highways. I felt so stupid as it's seemingly obvious but I somehow missed it and have a feeling I'm not the only one.

I spammed the talk button and they slowly came to me a couple steps per hit of the button. When they finally got near I dropped the cargo and they picked up one each. Then I looked at the map and figured out what city they would be going to and went ahead. When I got there they was just approaching so I said hey and they offered me my cargo back.

    Completed the main game a few days ago after an immensely satisfying 70 hours and am now post game and attempting to unite the entire UCA as well as beat previous delivery records. An absolutely stunning game that's a true original I really don't understand the criticism and complaints of its pace or it being 'too weird' It all made sense to me and packed a really surprising emotional wallop that was only heightened by superb performances (Fragile, especially, is just such a wonderful character) and that damn stunning soundtrack that kept breaking my heart as a new track beautifully underscored my solo sojourn through the wilderness. I'd have loved the addition of a music player you could use outside but otherwise this game just left me in paroxysms of delight, tension, suspense and, most surprising, blabbing like a flippin' BB come that final delivery. Just watching this video has made me want to get back into Sam's boots again (Sturdy Level 3 design and not shitty sandalwood!) and further delver into this utter masterpiece of video game design. I can't stress enough how much naysayers should ignore all preconceptions and play this game. It'll take time, patience and trial and error but it redefines 'open world' in that, though it's very quiet and empty out there, the terrain, environment and weather have never felt so important as when delivering a pizza, life saving drugs or lugging human cargo through snowy capped mountains. Plus, everyone needs to use a floating carrier as a snowboard at least once in their lives ...

      @joshwilliams9922 4 года назад +9

      erko78 Im not finished with the game but I’m almost at the mountains so I could tell you a lot. For one the game is very very complex, and yes there is a lot of deliveries but there’s so much more. This is the ultimate free lance game, you can play it however suits you by building structures to make things easier, take vehicles such as trikes, trucks, ect. There’s a lot of combat in game if you so chose to fight against the mules, and bt’s however I would advise not to do that as often early in the game because it would be rather difficult. The progression you make in the game provides you with valuable weapons, exoskeletons, and equipment that will make those situations much easier, because later in the game when you unlock the weather station you acquire the ability to see where timefall will be on the map for up to the next 30 minutes, so that’s creates another dynamic of planning and timing. I can not stress enough the fact in this game you have to plan things out in terms of timing, and even in terms of your character because Sam has key factors such as his stamina, blood level, ect to where if they’re low doing missions will be tougher, so you have to strategically go rest, take showers, and use the restroom, and that brings another point, eating, sleeping, showering, and using the restroom have very important reasons of why you do it and it isn’t some random or nuance mechanic. The main point from saying all that which I didn’t even scratch the surface is that the game although is very complex will become more suitable and familiar once you learn how you want to play it, there will be a lot of times where you have to adapt to various situations, but you still have the overarching way of your particular style. Now I haven’t talked about the story or lore, believe me when I say this, the story in this game is beyond incredible and very unique, although it falls into the post apocalyptic with game like metro exodus, it uses this setting in a way that’s completely unique and refreshing. I won’t go too deep into it but say that there are two type of cutscenes in this game, the more frequent one where it is a short but very interesting memory of your bb(bridge baby), and the more familiar cinematic scenes, both are really great and cohesive to the story. You also have a lot of emails, interviews, and uncovered data to read.Another dynamic of the game is working with other players to build and provide support such as items and equipment, and with that being said the social part of likes is very fundamental in this game from other players and clients but This message has been too long so to wrap this up I would 1000 percent suggest you play the game, you will love it, I would just say early in the game be patient, learn as much about how the game operates early, and you will be rewarded by having one of the most satisfying games you’ve ever played. Last thing, if you have a 4K tv and headphones use them because the graphics and aesthetics are beyond amazing.

  • @Loveilis
    @Loveilis 4 года назад +31

    When you shower you can move the camera. Know how the game goes into reflex mode (time slows down) and it does that little cinema for the BT warning? You can turn those off and keep the game momentum by going to your control options in the settings. Anytime you deliver material to A facility you can claim them at no costs instead of stealing from the mules like me. Don’t rest on A slope because it’ll take longer to regenerate. If you’re stumbling with too much cargo try to spin in A circle instead of grabbing your cargo and holding back because you’ll only keep going forward. Always scan water and hills no matter what. If your reverse bike has cargo bring it close to the terminal and you can deliver cargo without removing it from your bike. When you soothe BB you can press your touch pad to soothe him verbally. When you rest you can also whistle the Bb theme with the touch pad- the touch pad is full of Norman Easter eggs. Visit share lockers and stock up on material and deliver them to your facility.

    the throwing items thing is properly part of the combat. it slows down for a second upon knocking out a MULE, and in this time you can grab their package out of the air, and throw it at the next one. It's pretty cool as it allows you to use their stuff, rather than damaging your own. just knock the first guy out, then chain all their parcels into their faces.

    On repeated actions like delivering cargo, going to private room, recycling, or even the bb flashbacks. Do NOT press options and then skip. Once you’ve already watched a cut scene, the next time it repeats you can skip it by simply pressing circle. Makes chugging all five monsters super fast and easy once you watch the 3 or 4 times.
    This also let’s you know if it’s a bb flashback you haven’t seen before because pressing circle only skips those you’ve seen

  • @RedVanquish
    @RedVanquish 3 месяца назад

    Ah yes. Resin. My favorite melee weapon.
    Some tips for you all:
    These will mostly pertain to the Director's Cut however. Spoilers for campaign, preppers, and equipment ahead!
    • Whoever contributes the most materials for a road segment will have their name displayed when the road segment is completed. You can have your name on multiple road segments. So if you want your name on all segments, go offline and build all the roads from the start. This will rake you in the most likes daily. (Not for the faint of heart, it is a hell of a slog without help from porters.)
    • If you are near corpses when they go necro, there won't be a voidout. Instead, there will be BTs in that area where the corpses lied. You have to eliminate all the BTs for Couriers to safely go through this route again.
    • If you are killed by a Boss BT, the large BT that appears when you are captured by a BT, this will create a crater where you died that is 100 meters across. On your map will be the location of this crater and a large handprint in the center. Chiral density will then drop to nothing for a while in that area.
    • 15 total corpses can fit in the Truck in game. 14 in the cargo bed. One in the passenger seat.
    • You can jump ramp with everything. Including trucks, roadster and I believe the Floating Cart.
    • You can *theoretically* traverse chiral bridges in all forms of transportation. Including bikes, roadsters and trucks. One caviat though: Only the tires of the vehicle will make contact with the chiral bridge. the rest of the vehicle will phase through.
    • You can use your floating cart like a snowboard in the snowy areas.
    • Red BTs can be killed by either cutting their cord or shooting them with the special weapons found at the end of the game. The prepper who gives them is very....*cheesy.*
    • Chiral Crystals do actually increase your carry capacity. At 50,000 Chiral Crystals, you can hold up to 199.9 kg of weight over your max carry weight. There is no difference past 50,000.
    • You can use Climbing Anchors to traverse water faster. You still however cannot traverse water that comes up as red on your Odradek. Doing this consumes stamina so pay attention to your remaining stamina.
    • Your materials in each shelter, distro center and city are limited. They restock only when you gather supplies (be it from porters or from MULE or Terrorist Camps) and replenish them with the Recycle option, or do Materials Deliveries. Passing certain points in the campaign also replenishes supplies for each center, shelter, etc.
    • You can grab and hogtie enemies from the front in the first couple frames they detect you.
    • You can replenish the durability of your boots by passing through certain campaign points. Namely the ones that involve moving you to new areas.
    • Enemies do not pay attention to Remote Stun Bombs. So rig one on an enemy who is unconscious or dead to lure in someone.
    • Enemies may not hear your suppressed weapons, but they will however hear the bullet hit something. You could use this to lure an enemy somewhere. This also works on BTs.
    • BTs are umbillicaly bound to their location. Meaning they cannot keep chasing you after a certain distance. Much like Boss BTs!
    • BTs will immediately become visible to you when detected. Regardless of BB revealing them to you or not having BB at all! This puts you at risk of being captured so use caution.
    • Extreme Jumps are available to you at the very edge of a jump ramp. Timing is key.
    • Floating Carriers can be used while on Zip Line. (ONLY IN DIRECTOR'S CUT.)
    • On Very Hard, Boss BTs have different strategies. The Lion BT will attack you with Two Boss BTs. And at the very end of the game, when there is constant timefall, 3 to 4 Lion BTs!
    • Sleep Grenades work on all living people. Including the terrorists. On very hard it takes 2 grenades per person, unless you hit them in the head with one.

    Good tip. When building roads the best way to accrue likes is to build roads before you actually bring that region on to the chiral network. This ensures that you won’t contribute to someone else’s construction and when other people bring those regions online they may already have your road at their disposal.

    -[Cargo Container] and [Cargo] are two different assets.
    You can still get a S-Awesome Rank regardless of the [Cargo Container]'s Health. As long as the Cargo is in perfect condition no need to waste Repair Spray over [Cargo Container] Health when inside the Shelter.
    -Keep Important Cargo on the Backpack side of SAM, Stacked Cargo actually shields your Cargo keeping it from getting damage from the Rain.

    I just started this game a few days ago and I'm 33% done with Chapter 3. this game is so damn good. I am playing the directors cut of course, so maybe that makes enough of a difference early on, but honestly once you get around halfway through chapter 2 and do several optional deliveries the game picks up a lot.
    It is slow but around 8 hours into it, I became so hooked on it that I spend my busy time thinking about how excited I am to get back to it.
    I understand it's not for everyone, but if you like action/adventure RPG's, I highly recommend you try it and don't give up on it until you've reached Port Knot City. IYKYK, but that part reeled me in to the point that I already know I'll end up with well over 100 hours of play time in this game.

    You can equip blood bags to your pouch which equip auto when empty. I think its 4 maybe 5 in total. This game is clever in so many ways but it is its own downfall for some. What i like about it, is that aspect, it actually gives you the choice if your going to like it or not. What i mean is that it makes you create your own gameplay and interaction. If you rely on prompts and auto ques from games to tell you how to get the most out of it then the game may seem very awkward, dull and often annoying but if you create your own discipline in the game, meaning find your own way, test things out, read the story info and interact with its premise then it can become an incredibly delightful game that is far different than any other. Don't play this game expecting to be told how to play. Play it with an open mind free from the boundaries all other games feed you. Take chapter 3 where the ball really starts rolling. As soon as your off the ship, don't continue with your bike, head straight to a mule camp, beat them to a pulp then steal thier truck. Then you can do multiple deliveries, you can also add materials in mass quantity up and down the highway over and over instead of being limited to so much metal you can carry, ok your still limited but you have much much more space to carry lots of materials.

    Biggest pro-tip: Zip-lines, once you get to where you can build zip-lines then you should dismantle practically every other structure you've built and create zip-lines between different places. The most important ones at first but as you get more bandwidth eventually everywhere, also repair and upgrade other players zip-lines to help make it so you don't have to do it all with your own zip-lines. You will get a ton of likes this way but also it will make getting S ranks super easy (especially timed ones). He's right about the roads though, those should be your priority when you first arrive as you will gain a ton of likes, especially if you can complete a section or two.

    Dismantling constructed items like bridges, zip lines etc only removes them from your world unless it's your own.

    I recently got back into Death Stranding and love this game. I have followed and enjoyed the Metal Gear Solid series. Now I wonder how Death Stranding will hold up as I finish my first Play-Through of this very striking visual game. Time to make some deliveries and get back to gaming at its finest.

      Imma huge MGS fan myself and just finished it a few days ago. If you like Hideo Kojima's work then you love this game. It's a bit slow at first but once it starts to pick up traction and u get better weapons and equipment unlocked it get sooo soo much better. Go Have fun out there!
