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.
@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.
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?
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.
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👍
@@OmerAlazawy Well the odradek scanner is on the left shoulder so it does make more sense. Another good way of seeing the Scanner head is in compass mode
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
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 “🙂”
There's a chance only parts of your path will be visible to people you're connected with, I made a zip line system later in the game that doesn't seem to be entirely available to other players
Sterman99 I meant you’re not going to see every structure being built by every player in the whole world. Your game would be a mess of ropes ladders and bridges i imagine...
Once i soothe bb, sam knocked on the glass, bb knocked back with its little fist, then sam knocked back harder, then bb just began to headbutt the freaking can until it broken and bbs head were out. Still scary the shit out of me after i realised its sams illusion.
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.
@@Skel3bones 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.
You dont really need to bring any weapon really Once you get dragged by BT and start fighting Catcher,just press touch pad and other player phantom will appear and throw you stuff like blood bag,exo suit,and grenade/gun
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 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.
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.
@@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.
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
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.
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 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.
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 TH-cam channel
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
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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
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.
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
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
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
In my second playthrough, I spent over 100 hours accomplishing two tasks: 1) achieving 5 stars on every distro center, knot city, waystation, and prepper shelter, including Peter the Pizza Man, and 2) completing the Western Highway. In doing so, I made the rest of the game so, so much easier. In particular, delivering Mama to Lockne became a casual drive through the country.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@@donatotusi9140, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it fixes all of them, but you might need to separately spray the ones on the suit. I haven't noticed an issue there, honestly.
mule post boxes are worth the fight. ive leveled up so many uca locations with recycleable items from them . just smash them in the face with some cargo you dont mind loosing to damage like a ladder. or use a lvl 1 bola gun and wait for them to get free then smash them in the back of the head. of course you can always steal their trucks like in the central region to help out with large deliveries.
The mules are easy to fight, just keep distance between yourself and them and tie them up with the bola gun, then kick them in the head to put them to sleep. Don't let a free mule get close to one tied up or asleep because they will free and wake each other up. Once you incapacitate every mule in a camp you are given plenty of time to take everything they own including trucks. They tend to stay asleep for a while. It is very rewarding when you learn how to take out a mule camp.
Don't lose that first bike in episode 2, lost to the last maul in a camp soon as I got it and lost it. Now i have a walk sooo dam far it's kinda off putting
One should always go through any an all signs they can. Some of then offer boosts. So far I've noticed BB likes the baby posts, and some recharge stamina.
More tips: Farm MULE camps for metals (1st mule camp in lake knot) and ceramics (between the Engi and Eld) Farm BTs for Crystals cuz every 1k Crystals give you extra 1kg softcap.
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
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
I first try the game as connected but soon i realize that i want to play as unconnected to explore , fight , build on my own without the help for others. SO i started from scratch unconnected and I enjoy it this way more.
L2 R2 and square lets you charge those Mules that just keep blocking punches I never run from Mules, their camps are good for resources, especially if you’re trying to fix up the roads
Also if you do jobs for the crafter amd engineer you get a upgraded version of the item he gives you same goes for other ppl so its really important you to do jobs for them so they can help you and take your time.
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
"There's nothing to really be gained from taking them on." Then proceeds to show two seperate times something highlighted by her scanner in blue that is very important to be gained. These videos are usually very thorough so I'm not trying to hate or anything. It just seems like judging by all the videos I've seen of DS that it was a lot more complicated that people were giving it credit for when it first came out.
But most of the time you end up knocking down the people there to get their sheet. They'll be aware of Sam's presence anyway, no beneficial elements of surprise. 🙂

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
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.
Why on earth would you spray cargo under a time fall shelter? Time fall shelters automatically repair all containers LOL
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.
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!
just stated my journey today wish me luck!!!
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.
Just bought it yesterday and played it a little. So far, I'm just walking around enjoying the amazing graphics.
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.
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 TH-cam channel
Thank you!
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
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 :/
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.
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"?
If you knock a mule out you can grab their cargo and slam it on another one's face to knock them out quickly
Death stranding: UPS nightmare edition
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
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 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!
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
Just started splaying this game is incredible... the community is so strong 💪🏼
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.
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
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
The odradek will not negate mule pings unless you have a odradek upgrade that you get after delivering cargo to the farmer
using repair spray in a timefall shelter. Brilliant!
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.
@5:13 So, today I have learned another way to avoid their pulses! I used to time my jumps haha
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
Tip 1 ADD ON: You can also spray the stuff when it’s on your back!
I love your voice its so soothing...totally subscibed.
This game has wonderful Easter eggs, and I only just begun playing it! 👍
In my second playthrough, I spent over 100 hours accomplishing two tasks: 1) achieving 5 stars on every distro center, knot city, waystation, and prepper shelter, including Peter the Pizza Man, and 2) completing the Western Highway. In doing so, I made the rest of the game so, so much easier. In particular, delivering Mama to Lockne became a casual drive through the country.
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.
Mule camps are loaded with resources you can use to build roads. It’s easy to fight mules and def worth looting their postboxes !
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.
Great tips, I've been struggling so I definitely needed these, thanks very much
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.
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.
Thanks for the power generator outside of The Craftsman's shelter :D
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. 😎
I’ve been play death stranding for several days and wish I saw these tips sooner thank you some tips you mentioned I just learned from this video
Love the game. Just wish the music was more frequent. Some great songs in there.
Totally
Also, you don’t need to drop your containers to repair them - just point the spray backwards, spray ‘n’ go. 👍
Great video in general though. You mentioned a lot of stuff others haven’t. 👍
what about the ones on sam's suit?
@@donatotusi9140, not sure about that. I'm pretty sure it fixes all of them, but you might need to separately spray the ones on the suit. I haven't noticed an issue there, honestly.
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.
mule post boxes are worth the fight. ive leveled up so many uca locations with recycleable items from them . just smash them in the face with some cargo you dont mind loosing to damage like a ladder. or use a lvl 1 bola gun and wait for them to get free then smash them in the back of the head. of course you can always steal their trucks like in the central region to help out with large deliveries.
The mules are easy to fight, just keep distance between yourself and them and tie them up with the bola gun, then kick them in the head to put them to sleep. Don't let a free mule get close to one tied up or asleep because they will free and wake each other up. Once you incapacitate every mule in a camp you are given plenty of time to take everything they own including trucks. They tend to stay asleep for a while. It is very rewarding when you learn how to take out a mule camp.
Build tons of zip lines when you get them
You don't need to use that repair spray when under a time fall shelter, as it will automatically repair your cargo when you're under them.
Don't lose that first bike in episode 2, lost to the last maul in a camp soon as I got it and lost it. Now i have a walk sooo dam far it's kinda off putting
You can point the repair spray backwards with damaged cargo on
Here's a hot tip
DONT USE THE FLOATING CARRIERS
just use a reverse trike and Wheely hop the terrain
One should always go through any an all signs they can. Some of then offer boosts. So far I've noticed BB likes the baby posts, and some recharge stamina.
More tips: Farm MULE camps for metals (1st mule camp in lake knot) and ceramics (between the Engi and Eld)
Farm BTs for Crystals cuz every 1k Crystals give you extra 1kg softcap.
Where
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
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
I first try the game as connected but soon i realize that i want to play as unconnected to explore , fight , build on my own without the help for others. SO i started from scratch unconnected and I enjoy it this way more.
Use hermetic grenades on the grasping arms the BTs spawn to buy time to get away faster.
Mules are well worth and easily handled. Allows other players safe passage
Conan O'Brian Easter egg at the end was a nice finish.
L2 R2 and square lets you charge those Mules that just keep blocking punches
I never run from Mules, their camps are good for resources, especially if you’re trying to fix up the roads
Also if you do jobs for the crafter amd engineer you get a upgraded version of the item he gives you same goes for other ppl so its really important you to do jobs for them so they can help you and take your time.
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
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
"There's nothing to really be gained from taking them on." Then proceeds to show two seperate times something highlighted by her scanner in blue that is very important to be gained. These videos are usually very thorough so I'm not trying to hate or anything. It just seems like judging by all the videos I've seen of DS that it was a lot more complicated that people were giving it credit for when it first came out.
It's a serene game
This was REALLY helpful. thanks A LOT ! Cheers!!
Just boost bikes to escape bts. Never need to fight them. Floating carries are also not necessary.
Take a mules truck ASAP and keep it till you unlock the truck. There's nowhere I haven't gone without a truck.
i only used trucks in chapter 3 until i unlocked the bike with the transport rig in back. MUCH faster and more maneuverable.
The ping back to counter the MULES ping is only available after a certain mission in chapter 3
But most of the time you end up knocking down the people there to get their sheet. They'll be aware of Sam's presence anyway, no beneficial elements of surprise. 🙂
i pity the guy who need to rush this game.
I beat it already, not done though
If i ever do play the game i know i'll enjoy the soundtrack, and i'll DEFINITELY search out the wee otter hood, it's very sweet!
Thank you Aoife! X
I usually just run the MULES over xD
Also BTs werent a problem when i got the Hematic Nades 😊
Thank you. Loving this game a lot.
Amazing game. I’m glad I didn’t wait or for some reason pass on this.
