Actually, instead of dropping all of your cargo to spray it with repair spray, just aim and press square to turn it around and spray everything in your back.
When you’re on a built road stay on the middle. It will give you unlimited energy as long as you stay in it. Also if you hold down L3 and press R2 you will gain a nitrous boost for your bike.
Pro tip fight everything and don't run away. Unless ur in the beginning with jack shit to defend urself but later just merc everything. Thank me later.
I dont understand how people cant figure out how to spray your backpack. The button to do so comes up on your screen and is more obvious than offloading cargo
Container damage and cargo damage are totally two different concepts... Don't even bother to repair containers if you are already in front of the destination. lol
I have a question that may seem dumb, but I’d really like to know... I’m about 10 hours into the game (about halfway to 3/4s of the way through chapter 2) and I find myself holding L2 and R2 literally 99% of the time, even when I have very little cargo... is there any downside to this? I can’t really tell if I’m moving faster when not holding the triggers, if it depletes my stamina gauge irreparably until I get to a safe room, and generally don’t see a downside, unless I’m totally missing something, in doing so... please help!
Eric Lough nope.. go ahead and do it to your hearts content although you don’t really need to if your weight text isn’t yellow or red. As long as your under something like 40 or 50 kgs then you will be fine and won’t tilt much at all.
Great tip for fighting MUEL’S stealthily - make a post pox outside of their area - store all cargo in a private post box. Head on into the camp (they won’t scan for you if you don’t have cargo) take them out one by one w/out anyone noticing
Scott Reynolds the maker of the video said when mules do the orange scan, you can scan right back and it cancels their scan? Haven’t tried it, can anyone confirm?
@Random Kid had mine for 4 minutes. Mules Used EMP and fried it. Had to fight 4 and then huff it for a timed mission. Gonna get another PCC to build a genny beside it. hopefully its still there.
@@mirandabrumwell5318 I carry so much stuff, just in case. A truck with two floating carriers for when I get stuck, or can’t traverse anymore. So when that boss fight happened I had two anti BT guns and a load of hematic grenades, it was a cake walk.
Same here, but I hold them down probably 99% of the time, even when not really necessary... is there any downside to what I’m doing? I really don’t know!
Yep. I am constantly holding in L2 & R2 😂 it really does help a lot.. I like to use my tilting sometimes to my advantage as well.. you have to be careful but you can speed your guy up when your running around if you tilt it just right over and over.
@83rdox what do you mean?I played for 9 hours straight yesterday and wasn't bored for a minute if that's what you're asking about. If you expect super fast action all the time then the game is not for you. But if you expect an intruiging story with fantastic and actually very rewarding gameplay, you'll find it hard to put the game down.
83rdox the game in the 1st few hours like the prologue and chap 1 are drag of cutscenes. But later in chap 2, the game starts go get more and more fun and rewarding
Mules defo don’t give up easily. If you’re relatively slow or at the same speed as them, they’ll chase you halfway to your destination. It’s best to cross a stream or parkour through heavy rock ridden terrain, cause they suck at climbing and trip over everything.
Hey you ran into one of YongYea's structures. Cool! I personally can't wait until I'm miraculously saved by a structure built by someone with a master-architect name like x420blazeit69x
No need to avoid mule camps, they are easy to knock out and have lots of goodies.... even if you have no guns, just punch a mule until they fall then press L2 or R2 to grab their package as it falls, when the next mule comes at you press square to hit him with the package. Usually only takes one whack with a package to k.o the mule....repeat until the camp is clear then use their truck to rob them blind👍

For any starting players who just got to the wind farm, I made a climbing path that goes around the BT Forest, just hang a right when heading back from the terminal and look for the smiley signs “🙂”

You can keep stuff on your back, and press square with the repair spray out. It Will face the spray towards you and let you repair your cargo! Safe deliveries porters !
I say fight the BTs, especially somewhere like Wind Farm where you have to double back. Take 2x 5 pack of blood grenades. You can hold triangle to drop all cargo, fight, then come back for it and have an easy journey.
@@treborg69 me too. And when I had to leave the farm the bts were gone for me. Or at least I kept all the way to the left (facing away from facility) when I left.

@@Sean3D2Y This isn't new. alot of people have enjoyed indie games that are simulator like. But we haven't had one made by such a big game developer. this is no different from people playing Stardew valley and farming. Games like this give a strong sense of accomplishment.
weird advice from eurogamer here. it's actually helpful to raid MULE's at the start of the game. they're a good source of ladders/anchors/materials for constructing paths for you and other players. once you have at least 2-3 hematic grenades it actually becomes worth it to fight BTs head on. the rewards in chiral crystals and likes from BB is worth it. the only time it's not worth fighting is when you're on a time sensitive order.
If I'm not on a delivery I almost always fight the mules. Their camps are full of resources. Comes in handy if you're building roads and they usually have a truck at their camp too. And you can only counter their scan after you get the upgrade at a certain point aswell. Think it's roundabout when you go to the farm.
Clickbait title. I stopped watching at around the 6:20 mark. Not only is this video kind of spoilery, but it also doesn't explain anything the game itself does not. For example, there is nothing obscure or hidden about floating cargo carriers or cans of repair spray, and not knowing about all these things in advance is part of the fun of discovery, you know. One thing I wish I knew before I started watching this video? Take a guess.
Death Stranding is so so good ! GOTY for me ! I'm currently watching video up to Episode 12 about Clifford...By the way, I'm more to the Nintendo games than others but a good 3rd parties AAA games like this one I can't deny it same to the Final Fantasy 15, Resident Evil 7, God of War, The Last Redemption 2 etc
I finished that stretch of highway yesterday... I dont know if the world is the same for everyone though because I dont know if EVERYONE is connected to the same map. Ive been wondering if I can only see what a group of people have made, not everyone.
This game is amazing! I'm glad I bought it, I've been playing it since yesterday on and off and I'm already a level 29 Porter. The gameplay is addicting, you genuinely feel connected to the other people that help you by leaving stuff behind and vice versa. Also when I'm not playing this game it's always on mind I'm always thinking about getting back into it and playing it, trying to figure out and plan ahead of travelling across the landscape to deliver the packages in one piece with no damage whatsoever!
Azneye blueed two things. 1.) you best me to it and 2.) that actually makes me feel better about how far I am 😂😂😂 level 80 something after 14 and a half hours or so
You can actually hold the repair spray in your hand push the square button Too Faced it backwards and you can spray them while they're on your back free tip from someone that doesn't have a fancy RUclips channel
If you take out an entire camp of MULEs they will be out of commission for quite a while, so you can loot all their boxes for Lost Cargo, large troves of materials, and every camp is hiding at least one Memory Chip that is easier to find when you aren't worrying about being spotted. Their trucks are also really useful for transporting large amounts of cargo in the early game, especially when you cannot print your own truck yet. There is plenty to gain from taking out a MULE outpost.
I worked as a motorcycle courier for nine years. This is the closest game to couriering. When visiting the wind farm pull out jobs with the two floating carriers. take all of them back to the distribution center and store them into the private locker. Once, you have enough deliveries going your way, pull out stored jobs from your private locker and rock up with a truck full of deliveries and get rewarded. So far besides the wind farm ( you can ride the trike out there) you can drive the truck anywhere. I created a zip line over the snowy mountains, so I didn't have to bother. Zipping over bt areas is awesome. You can drive the truck up to the elder. You just have to exit the mountain by the east side. Opposite the distribution center. I created a bridge just behind the distribution center, after the trench, and made a path up the side of the mountain. The uca truck will take over a tonne of cargo. Time fall won't be a problem anymore cause the truck cargo area is covered. Eventually, having delivered enough cargo, they will give you automated robots to do your deliveries. I have four now and I'm only halfway through the game. Level 310 and elite deliver title. Mules are easily defeated by any means necessary. I've just ran into a mule camp and they have sticky guns, so my non lethal AK 47 was ripped out of my hands. Might have to smoke or stun grenade therm beforehand. The first mule camp outside lake knot city is full of metal and the second one, South of the engineer is full of ceramics. When you have all deliveries and missions done for the time being , raid these two camps and fill your truck up-to build roads. I just went back to the first map and built zip lines from the start, capital knot city to port knot city. Hopefully, these will be visible for newbies porters so make the start much easier for them. When Sam has to carry bodies, you can zip line them where they need to go. Object of the game is too what you put in, is what you get out of it. Fast forwarding the game and rushing to the end is not what this games about. So load up your truck and builds some roads. Also Kill the bts. You can clear out an area and once they've gone, the sun will shine and no more timefall for that area. Catch you out there porters. Keep on keeping on.
Mule hideouts almost always have MEMORY CHIPS. Don’t run from them if you’re a completionist or want these chips. Take em out and loot the area. Not to mention many metals and ceramics in abundance.
wow. fucking spoilers. the title says tips you wish you knew before STARTING the game. im on mission 7 right now. and i havent even unlocked repair sprays yet. so of course, i gotta click off this video now.
I was skeptic at first because of the mixed reviews but decided to buy it when it was on sale for $35 USD. I'm surprised it actually turns out to be fun to play. I must admit though, the first 10-15 hours does feel like chores if you decide to do all the npc orders and standard orders (delivery contracts) from each stations. There's a lot of running back and forth between stations, but once you unlock your bike it gets very easy. I'm glad I bought it and didn't listen to the negative reviews. It's an addicting game once you get the hang of the mechanics and it makes you keep wanting to level up your character.
Her: :Death Stranding has a multiplayer component, but like Dark Souls, it's more about helping players in their own individual world..." Me: "I see you've never played Dark Souls."
@@wolfbrother8043 she definitely meant to say unlike though, just picked the wrong word. there's no need to put but at the beginning of that statement otherwise.
Well, in the short time I played DS3 I usually summoned other players who helped me with bosses. So yeah, ... the quite literally helped my individual progress.
All these tip vids are full of spoilers mate watch a few, this wasn't the worst by far. And wouldn't be very useful if it was tips for the first 10 minutes spoiler free, makes no sense, story spoilers aren't in here at all "ffs"
The game takes some getting used to to learn how to do things and takes a while to figure it out but I do really like it and starting to understand how to build and make my my journey as safe as I can
Played this a few times on different systems and one thing I have only just noticed while playing directors cut for every 1000 chiral crystals it lowers cargo weight by 5 which doesn't seem like much but defiantly helps haven't seen anyone mention this
People are actually having problems dealing with mules? I find fighting them incredibly easy and always have fun fighting then. Even before I got any weapons I found it easy enough to take them head on with my fists but once you get the bola gun mules are a joke and pose no threat what so ever.
When fighting mules, hold both L2 and R2 them use □ to tackle or X to dodge, with the strand hold on to it with L2 and hit R2 before they lung at you to parry their attack and disable them
I have been having great fun, thanks for the tip of the reverse ping to keep the mules off my tail, I must of missed that hint. Also building road is the best and makes the game so much easier when you can
@@leozar69 my condolences I really looked hard and I could not see it. I know that there is a music player that you can play music you get and I wonder if when the music play weather you can turn the music off when it starts?
leozar69 Well good news music is rarely played. It’s scripted for the first few story missions, to play at certain points. Later on it’s entirely random, and don’t even play for hours and hours. So after you’re into Chapter 4 or later, you shouldn’t be hearing any music.
I'm about 4hrs into it. It's a mixed bag. The visuals and audio mix are fantastic... the gameplay is something very different. Kojima's vision is unique but the execution is a bit all over the place. Nonessential inventory up top to avoid timefall damage is a good tip!
@Gioco Royeca well I did rent it again and ended my session in the most disastrous way possible. I just made it through a BT hotzone (lost most of my luggage) and after scurrying back and reclaiming it all I made it to the final bridge leading to my drop off point. I decided I would take a moment and have Norman relieve himself off the side of the bridge and right as I finished he fell off the damn bridge!! I spent the next 10 min paddling my way to my soaked belongings and stomped my way to the building to make my delivery. Lol
@Gioco Royeca That fall the bridge shocked me but thanks for all the tips and advice! I'll definitely go back to it at a later date when I get some more spare time!
Why would you put the cargo down to spray it? Just equip the cargo spray press F to point the can backwards and spray it will fix the cargo, while still on you're back.
for BT zones...as soon as you get vehicles, just leave all your cargo on the bike, walk forward wearing ONLY hematic grenades and Blood packs, let them knock you down, kill the mini boss, then harvest the chiral crystals. you'll need a LOT of them starting in chapter 3 when you start rebuilding roads. and forget the floating cart...it eats your crystal reserves. Bikes don't. sneaking around and taking the floaters out one at t time will take MUCH longer, for little reward.
The mules haven’t been to bad at all. I got chased a little bit near the start of the game but ran my ass off and got away, plus if you scan a lot you’ll see them in the distance so you can plan your way around them or plan an attack
i have honestly never expected to find my self enjoying so much a game that is mostly just about making deliveries. Online elements should be an example on how multiplayer should be in AAA tiltes. And oh this community...i love it all
Meh. If you want to farm Crystal's you do need to fight, it's easy though with the grenades, but it helps if you do it. Need the Crystal's for the roads, plus I like to hang about search stuff out and explore the map. I quite happy to hang about in chapter three, build the highways, then the zip lines and even mark out some speed tracks for those who go after me. Very enjoyable.
for the MULES best tip is just carry a bola gun, simple ,convenient ,fast ,and you get it ealry . remember to kick them after you shout them. for the bts just carry 2 hemetic grenades , simple ,convenient ,fast. dont forget to full your puch with blood
So you went through the whole game avoiding mules that you can take out easily with the Strand, or Bola Gun? Is this your first video game? And wtf are you using container spray in a shelter? It sprays it on you as you enter! This is why you don't listen to reviews people 🙄
Well the game mechanics are an uber grind similar to many MMORGs, endless cutscenes that take many clicks to even skip, auto skip is a non working joke. I don't mind slow game pace but don't make it so using endless animations and other scenes that take complete control away from player. Overall it should have been a movie not a game.
Did you play through the game on normal or did you go with Very Easy mode and never touch side quests or half the content? I'm talking about pre-release, since game reviewers might not always dedicate several weeks to finishing a game completely.
The gameplay is basically like being drunk with a refrigerator strapped to your back, it's fucking stupid, the back ground music should be dire straits, "we gotta move these, refrigerators, we gotta move these color tveeeeeeees"
i was doing the mssion taking the presidents body, and you where talking about like peoples build so they can apear in your own world while i was climbing ladders played by someone
Here is a tip, when you pee, after some time a mushroom will grow in the place you peed, so basically what Im saying is, you could probably draw on the floor with the mushrooms that grew out of your pee, use this silly info however you want pal
When using the Bola Gun to fight mules, if two circles appear above them then they can "wake up" rather quickly and get back in the fight, so walk up to their bodies and press square to kick them. This knocks them out and the symbol above them changes to stars. Once all are knocked out, the area becomes safe for decent amount of time for all porters to pass through.
Pro tip killing the bt boss in an area ends the timefall so its just easier to drop packages 8n a safe area or leave on bike and engage the bts directly and grenade the boss to death to end the timefall zone and get a lot of chiral crystala
Otherwise its going to timefall for longer and dot damage your packages for longer. So i just drop all my stuff and fight the bts as soon as timefall starts to end it.
how many blood grenades do you carry on yourself on average? I haven't tried a bt boss fight yet but I don't want to craft like 20 grenades or something
@@donatotusi9140 i carry 2 or 3 hematic grenades and like 3 blood packs at a time or maybe 4. Each case lets u throw like 3 or 4 nades and if u have blood packs u dont ever worry about anemia. Once you get exo legs carry big stacks isnt that big of a deal so if u jnow your going to fight bts take grenades and blood packs and just dump your gear and go engage the bt directly. Its also hilarious if u use the call out button like u would for social pings (click in touchpad) whilst in enemy or bt engagements sam will egg the enemy on and call them to come get him
Honestly, if you're confident in your ability to make a delivery without falling and causing damage to your cargo, repair spray is optional. All it does is repair the container the repair spray is in, not the cargo itself. And time fall doesn't damage cargo, just the containers which increases damage to cargo if you fall
No tips for how to best take out mules? Thats the only thing I really need to know to help me master this game. So far they are a thorn in my side. I have the rope gun which is nice but they get free pretty quick. I’m hoping there will be better weapons to permanently incapacitate them like the rope does (but without sneaking). any tips? If only I had my MGS V arsenal as well lol
Actually, instead of dropping all of your cargo to spray it with repair spray, just aim and press square to turn it around and spray everything in your back.

For example, there is nothing obscure or hidden about floating cargo carriers or cans of repair spray, and not knowing about all these things in advance is part of the fun of discovery, you know. One thing I wish I knew before I started watching this video? Take a guess.
Death Stranding is so so good ! GOTY for me ! I'm currently watching video up to Episode 12 about Clifford...By the way, I'm more to the Nintendo games than others but a good 3rd parties AAA games like this one I can't deny it same to the Final Fantasy 15, Resident Evil 7, God of War, The Last Redemption 2 etc
I absolutely love this game so far. I’m in Chapter 2
Chapter 1 and 2 were excruciating for me. Middle of 3 now and I can't stop playing this game!
Uhhmn. Fellow porters, help me finish the highway in Lake Knot City area. I'm farming mats all day just to build roads. HELP!
I'm working on it too
I finished that stretch of highway yesterday... I dont know if the world is the same for everyone though because I dont know if EVERYONE is connected to the same map. Ive been wondering if I can only see what a group of people have made, not everyone.
@@DivineDissident everyone isn't connected to same world
CatGoD Ray thanks, yeah i thought we would be connected to more people :/
just stated my journey today wish me luck!!!
This game is amazing! I'm glad I bought it, I've been playing it since yesterday on and off and I'm already a level 29 Porter. The gameplay is addicting, you genuinely feel connected to the other people that help you by leaving stuff behind and vice versa. Also when I'm not playing this game it's always on mind I'm always thinking about getting back into it and playing it, trying to figure out and plan ahead of travelling across the landscape to deliver the packages in one piece with no damage whatsoever!
i just felt like a goddamn addict, im level 250 😂😂😂
Azneye blueed two things. 1.) you best me to it and 2.) that actually makes me feel better about how far I am 😂😂😂 level 80 something after 14 and a half hours or so
51 at 6 hours in!
keep rocking lmao
Cosmonauteable ya how dare someone actually enjoy something they have been playing for hours
Same here, I havnt had that feeling playing a game in a long time
You can actually hold the repair spray in your hand push the square button Too Faced it backwards and you can spray them while they're on your back free tip from someone that doesn't have a fancy RUclips channel
Thank you!
If you take out an entire camp of MULEs they will be out of commission for quite a while, so you can loot all their boxes for Lost Cargo, large troves of materials, and every camp is hiding at least one Memory Chip that is easier to find when you aren't worrying about being spotted. Their trucks are also really useful for transporting large amounts of cargo in the early game, especially when you cannot print your own truck yet. There is plenty to gain from taking out a MULE outpost.
I worked as a motorcycle courier for nine years. This is the closest game to couriering. When visiting the wind farm pull out jobs with the two floating carriers. take all of them back to the distribution center and store them into the private locker. Once, you have enough deliveries going your way, pull out stored jobs from your private locker and rock up with a truck full of deliveries and get rewarded. So far besides the wind farm ( you can ride the trike out there) you can drive the truck anywhere. I created a zip line over the snowy mountains, so I didn't have to bother. Zipping over bt areas is awesome. You can drive the truck up to the elder. You just have to exit the mountain by the east side. Opposite the distribution center. I created a bridge just behind the distribution center, after the trench, and made a path up the side of the mountain. The uca truck will take over a tonne of cargo. Time fall won't be a problem anymore cause the truck cargo area is covered. Eventually, having delivered enough cargo, they will give you automated robots to do your deliveries. I have four now and I'm only halfway through the game. Level 310 and elite deliver title. Mules are easily defeated by any means necessary. I've just ran into a mule camp and they have sticky guns, so my non lethal AK 47 was ripped out of my hands. Might have to smoke or stun grenade therm beforehand. The first mule camp outside lake knot city is full of metal and the second one, South of the engineer is full of ceramics. When you have all deliveries and missions done for the time being , raid these two camps and fill your truck up-to build roads. I just went back to the first map and built zip lines from the start, capital knot city to port knot city. Hopefully, these will be visible for newbies porters so make the start much easier for them. When Sam has to carry bodies, you can zip line them where they need to go. Object of the game is too what you put in, is what you get out of it. Fast forwarding the game and rushing to the end is not what this games about. So load up your truck and builds some roads. Also Kill the bts. You can clear out an area and once they've gone, the sun will shine and no more timefall for that area. Catch you out there porters. Keep on keeping on.
Death stranding: UPS nightmare edition
Is it wrong that I call that back-robot "Odenkirk" and pretend that every time it sees an unborn-spirit it says "Better Caul Soul"?
Mule hideouts almost always have MEMORY CHIPS. Don’t run from them if you’re a completionist or want these chips. Take em out and loot the area. Not to mention many metals and ceramics in abundance.
When Skatebording on the carrier press Square to push yourself a little, great for a little boost up the upcline you wouldn't get over without it.
wow. fucking spoilers.
the title says tips you wish you knew before STARTING the game.
im on mission 7 right now. and i havent even unlocked repair sprays yet.
so of course, i gotta click off this video now.
Just bought it yesterday and played it a little. So far, I'm just walking around enjoying the amazing graphics.
If you knock a mule out you can grab their cargo and slam it on another one's face to knock them out quickly
I was skeptic at first because of the mixed reviews but decided to buy it when it was on sale for $35 USD. I'm surprised it actually turns out to be fun to play. I must admit though, the first 10-15 hours does feel like chores if you decide to do all the npc orders and standard orders (delivery contracts) from each stations. There's a lot of running back and forth between stations, but once you unlock your bike it gets very easy. I'm glad I bought it and didn't listen to the negative reviews. It's an addicting game once you get the hang of the mechanics and it makes you keep wanting to level up your character.
Her: :Death Stranding has a multiplayer component, but like Dark Souls, it's more about helping players in their own individual world..."
Me: "I see you've never played Dark Souls."
She said, Unlike..
@@Docmain3 she say likz
@@wolfbrother8043 she definitely meant to say unlike though, just picked the wrong word. there's no need to put but at the beginning of that statement otherwise.
@@Xetrof Nonsense. It makes perfect sense. While it has mp, it's not the usual kind of mp. Hence the "but".
Well, in the short time I played DS3 I usually summoned other players who helped me with bosses. So yeah, ... the quite literally helped my individual progress.
This was the most spoiler heavy beginner tip video I’ve ever seen, ffs.
All these tip vids are full of spoilers mate watch a few, this wasn't the worst by far. And wouldn't be very useful if it was tips for the first 10 minutes spoiler free, makes no sense, story spoilers aren't in here at all "ffs"
i pity the guy who need to rush this game.
I beat it already, not done though
The game takes some getting used to to learn how to do things and takes a while to figure it out but I do really like it and starting to understand how to build and make my my journey as safe as I can
Played this a few times on different systems and one thing I have only just noticed while playing directors cut for every 1000 chiral crystals it lowers cargo weight by 5 which doesn't seem like much but defiantly helps haven't seen anyone mention this
People are actually having problems dealing with mules? I find fighting them incredibly easy and always have fun fighting then. Even before I got any weapons I found it easy enough to take them head on with my fists but once you get the bola gun mules are a joke and pose no threat what so ever.
When fighting mules, hold both L2 and R2 them use □ to tackle or X to dodge, with the strand hold on to it with L2 and hit R2 before they lung at you to parry their attack and disable them
can you only play music in the private room ? I wish I could use the playlist while going on a delivery
You have a music player in your private room, you get a trophy for using it the first time.
I thought the same thing, such great music, wish we could listen to it with a media player like in mgsv
no but you can use your phone or laptop lol
Anik Don'tPanic you cant even play Spotify on the PS4 while on death stranding and that doesn’t work if you use a headset for gaming
I have been having great fun, thanks for the tip of the reverse ping to keep the mules off my tail, I must of missed that hint. Also building road is the best and makes the game so much easier when you can
Do you know, if a way to lower the music volume? I didn't find it.
@@leozar69 as far as I can see there is no way to do it. Kojima idea I think was immerse the player in the soundscape as is
@@astraldragon01 The problem is the music takes me out of the immersion. What pulls me in, is the atmosphere, like wind, bugs and so on.
@@leozar69 my condolences I really looked hard and I could not see it. I know that there is a music player that you can play music you get and I wonder if when the music play weather you can turn the music off when it starts?
leozar69
Well good news music is rarely played.
It’s scripted for the first few story missions, to play at certain points.
Later on it’s entirely random, and don’t even play for hours and hours. So after you’re into Chapter 4 or later, you shouldn’t be hearing any music.
I'm about 4hrs into it. It's a mixed bag. The visuals and audio mix are fantastic... the gameplay is something very different. Kojima's vision is unique but the execution is a bit all over the place.
Nonessential inventory up top to avoid timefall damage is a good tip!
@Gioco Royeca I'm going to try again once I'm off from work and Redbox it again.
@Gioco Royeca well I did rent it again and ended my session in the most disastrous way possible. I just made it through a BT hotzone (lost most of my luggage) and after scurrying back and reclaiming it all I made it to the final bridge leading to my drop off point. I decided I would take a moment and have Norman relieve himself off the side of the bridge and right as I finished he fell off the damn bridge!! I spent the next 10 min paddling my way to my soaked belongings and stomped my way to the building to make my delivery. Lol
@Gioco Royeca That fall the bridge shocked me but thanks for all the tips and advice! I'll definitely go back to it at a later date when I get some more spare time!
Why would you put the cargo down to spray it? Just equip the cargo spray press F to point the can backwards and spray it will fix the cargo, while still on you're back.
4:54 If ur not "really itching to punch someone in the face" after playing Death Stranding, ur not playing Death Stranding.
I'm loving the fuck out of this game
for BT zones...as soon as you get vehicles, just leave all your cargo on the bike, walk forward wearing ONLY hematic grenades and Blood packs, let them knock you down, kill the mini boss, then harvest the chiral crystals. you'll need a LOT of them starting in chapter 3 when you start rebuilding roads. and forget the floating cart...it eats your crystal reserves. Bikes don't. sneaking around and taking the floaters out one at t time will take MUCH longer, for little reward.
Is anyone else here American?
I love your voice its so soothing...totally subscibed.
The mules haven’t been to bad at all. I got chased a little bit near the start of the game but ran my ass off and got away, plus if you scan a lot you’ll see them in the distance so you can plan your way around them or plan an attack
Mule camps are loaded with resources you can use to build roads. It’s easy to fight mules and def worth looting their postboxes !
This game has wonderful Easter eggs, and I only just begun playing it! 👍
i have honestly never expected to find my self enjoying so much a game that is mostly just about making deliveries. Online elements should be an example on how multiplayer should be in AAA tiltes. And oh this community...i love it all
Meh. If you want to farm Crystal's you do need to fight, it's easy though with the grenades, but it helps if you do it. Need the Crystal's for the roads, plus I like to hang about search stuff out and explore the map. I quite happy to hang about in chapter three, build the highways, then the zip lines and even mark out some speed tracks for those who go after me. Very enjoyable.
D Mac yes! Ive been on chapter 3 a long time building roads! I really like the game!
@@DivineDissident We re enjoying the game. As we should. 😎
for the MULES best tip is just carry a bola gun, simple ,convenient ,fast ,and you get it ealry . remember to kick them after you shout them. for the bts just carry 2 hemetic grenades , simple ,convenient ,fast. dont forget to full your puch with blood
So you went through the whole game avoiding mules that you can take out easily with the Strand, or Bola Gun? Is this your first video game? And wtf are you using container spray in a shelter? It sprays it on you as you enter! This is why you don't listen to reviews people 🙄
Well the game mechanics are an uber grind similar to many MMORGs, endless cutscenes that take many clicks to even skip, auto skip is a non working joke. I don't mind slow game pace but don't make it so using endless animations and other scenes that take complete control away from player. Overall it should have been a movie not a game.
Did you play through the game on normal or did you go with Very Easy mode and never touch side quests or half the content?
I'm talking about pre-release, since game reviewers might not always dedicate several weeks to finishing a game completely.
Go to dry land they said
But tar ghost people things still grab me. . .ON TOP OF THE PRIVATE ROOM ENTRANCE.
Before taking trucks to get around ride a bike through the paths u intent for the truck a few times. It will clear the rocks and pave a path.
The gameplay is basically like being drunk with a refrigerator strapped to your back, it's fucking stupid, the back ground music should be dire straits, "we gotta move these, refrigerators, we gotta move these color tveeeeeeees"
It's a serene game
I usually just run the MULES over xD
Also BTs werent a problem when i got the Hematic Nades 😊
Here's a hot tip
DONT USE THE FLOATING CARRIERS
just use a reverse trike and Wheely hop the terrain
The odradek will not negate mule pings unless you have a odradek upgrade that you get after delivering cargo to the farmer
i was doing the mssion taking the presidents body, and you where talking about like peoples build so they can apear in your own world while i was climbing ladders played by someone
I haven't seen any explanation yet on what exactly the different pee and poop have a do.
Here is a tip, when you pee, after some time a mushroom will grow in the place you peed, so basically what Im saying is, you could probably draw on the floor with the mushrooms that grew out of your pee, use this silly info however you want pal
When using the Bola Gun to fight mules, if two circles appear above them then they can "wake up" rather quickly and get back in the fight, so walk up to their bodies and press square to kick them. This knocks them out and the symbol above them changes to stars. Once all are knocked out, the area becomes safe for decent amount of time for all porters to pass through.
Most if not all the main characters are white with blue eyes! Japanese are worshipping whites so much! In animes mangas etc 👀
Just boost bikes to escape bts. Never need to fight them. Floating carries are also not necessary.
Tip 1 ADD ON: You can also spray the stuff when it’s on your back!
Great for those who have been playing for awhile. Not so helpful for those just starting!
Too many spoilers for what should be a tips video. I stopped watching.
Great tips, I've been struggling so I definitely needed these, thanks very much
Just started splaying this game is incredible... the community is so strong 💪🏼
What does an Scottish/Irish chimney sweep wear at work?
Suit.
Pro tip killing the bt boss in an area ends the timefall so its just easier to drop packages 8n a safe area or leave on bike and engage the bts directly and grenade the boss to death to end the timefall zone and get a lot of chiral crystala
Otherwise its going to timefall for longer and dot damage your packages for longer. So i just drop all my stuff and fight the bts as soon as timefall starts to end it.
how many blood grenades do you carry on yourself on average? I haven't tried a bt boss fight yet but I don't want to craft like 20 grenades or something
@@donatotusi9140 i carry 2 or 3 hematic grenades and like 3 blood packs at a time or maybe 4. Each case lets u throw like 3 or 4 nades and if u have blood packs u dont ever worry about anemia. Once you get exo legs carry big stacks isnt that big of a deal so if u jnow your going to fight bts take grenades and blood packs and just dump your gear and go engage the bt directly. Its also hilarious if u use the call out button like u would for social pings (click in touchpad) whilst in enemy or bt engagements sam will egg the enemy on and call them to come get him
@@bladestar1 wait I thought each case only allows 1 grenade so with with 2 cases you can carry 6 grenades? Anyways thank you for the answer!:)
Donato Tusi you eventually unlocked grenade pouches that hold your grenades freeing up body or backpack space. I usually hold 10 plus.
Amazing game. I’m glad I didn’t wait or for some reason pass on this.
Game is soo frustrating but still learning
Yeah I keep hearing that in episode 3 you start getting cool stuff to help with your deliveries.
popi2971
Yep, it’s recommended you rush to episode 3 ASAP.
popi2971 chapter 2 gives you something that makes things a lot easier.
Must get Otter Hood. (◉_◉)
Honestly, if you're confident in your ability to make a delivery without falling and causing damage to your cargo, repair spray is optional. All it does is repair the container the repair spray is in, not the cargo itself. And time fall doesn't damage cargo, just the containers which increases damage to cargo if you fall
No tips for how to best take out mules? Thats the only thing I really need to know to help me master this game. So far they are a thorn in my side. I have the rope gun which is nice but they get free pretty quick. I’m hoping there will be better weapons to permanently incapacitate them like the rope does (but without sneaking). any tips? If only I had my MGS V arsenal as well lol
