When do you unlock vehicles?

You'll unlock your first vehicle in Death Stranding 2 pretty quickly. Once you reach the research station in Mexico, you'll find yourself fighting a powerful BT. After defeating the boss and starting Order No. 7 (Return home with a gift for Lou), the game will encourage you to make your first vehicle - a Tri-Cruiser.

From now on, you will have access to garages. They are located in larger outposts that you'll encounter along the way.

How to build a Tri-Cruiser?

Once you have access to a garage, select it from the Create & Manage tab. Select one of the free slots to enter the vehicle production window. To make a basic Tri-Cruiser you'll need:

1. 220 Metals;
2. 160 Ceramics;
3. 10 Chemicals.

Once you've made the vehicle make sure you move it to the Elevator tab. That way it will be brought outside.

How do vehicles work?

Vehicles such as the Tri-Cruiser allow for quick movement in open spaces. You can also load additional cargo onto it.

Vehicles are powered by batteries, which are automatically charged when you store them at a garage. If you run out of power on the road, you can wait for the vehicle's solar panels to recharge it. An alternative is to build a generator, a special structure that will allow you to charge the battery.
