Save manually often
DS2 features automatic saving. Autosaves, however, happen relatively rarely, usually during plot-critical moments. Because of this, we recommend that you save manually from time to time. This will help you get back on track quickly if something doesn't go as planned.
Plan your route carefully before setting off
Before setting off on your next order, you will be given the opportunity to analyze and plan your route. Use the route planning option to learn what dangers and obstacles you may encounter along the way. Carefully analysing your route will make your journey easier and help you prepare better.
Experiment with weapons
Different weapons work in different situations. Make sure to try out all available guns to choose the ones that best suit specific scenarios. Remember that you can test all weapon types on the VR shooting range available in Sam's private quarters.
Take more supplies then you expect to use
The world of Death Stranding 2 is dangerous and unpredictable. Sudden rain, an encounter with bandits or BTs can greatly complicate your journey. Always try to carry a few extra items with you, such as blood bags, ladders, or a spare weapon. You never know when they may prove useful.
Use vehicles
Basic vehicles in DS2 are unlocked rather early. Use them to travel long distances. They significantly reduce the time needed to finish orders. You can learn more about vehicles on the How to build vehicles page.
