Anyone else have cargo delivered or recent likes from someone who hasn't logged in for half a year?

Hot tip: Make sure you're at a good facility before you claim your ranking rewards. I thoughtlessly pressed the button after going back to rank up Wind Farm, and now I have 14,800 metals stored there. Reloading my save seems to just delete it because my online account already claimed it.

Playing on normal right now. I was trying to be sneaky and didn't really have any weapons on me aside from a bola (which was useless against the turret) and got caught in between two and the third one killed me while I was running away. Also had some Mules on my rear end once I was discovered. I gotta mess around with the weapons/grenades more. I barely used any on my last playthrough, and I want to experiment some more.

Sucks that you can't really use the turrets yourself because they're lethal and you'll just end up taking a bunch of trips to an incinerator or voiding out the whole area.

Also had some Mules on my rear end once I was discovered. Bola for Mules on the run and Sleep Grenade Launcher for turrets. The grenade launcher will hit from extremely far away, farther than the turrets will reliably hit, so get used to aiming with that and you're golden. Otherwise just have the bola out and shoot dudes. If you're in melee and can't bola then get out the strand and parry then tie. The strand is also ridiculous for melee. The actual guns are fairly useless as it takes a lot of bullets to knock people out unless you can reliably get headshots. Once you get used to this the mules become a joke. If they have guns then it's pretty tough but the melee only guys are stupid easy with this combo.

Another way is to take one down with melee, grab whatever he's carrying (as it flies through the air for style points) and throw it at the next guy, repeat until they're all out.

I just finished the ruined factory and honestly it's a let down. I'm not going to go into the story stuff which is very cool and interesting but the actual factory itself is pretty dull. You go three times. First time is just a stealth tutorial and gets you to the entrance. Second time continues the stealth tutorial and gets you in the first room. Third time is the combat room that was in the trailers. You shoot a handful of terrorists, I completely broke it by just spamming sleep grenades. You then get some interesting story stuff and a very beautiful closure to it. There's no boss battle or anything like that. You just clear the rooms get a story dump and then a very beautiful little song segment as a reward. All in all it took me less than a half hour to do with end game stuff and setting up a trio of ziplines from the distribution center to the ludens fan. I imagine with the way it's integrated into the story (haven't gotten that far in my second playthrough yet) it'd be more difficult. It's not bad but it's disappointing because it's so short. The rest of the PS5 upgrades and PC content make the Director's Cut worth it in my mind but if it didn't have them then I would wonder why they bothered.

They added in the box reference/joke that you see in the trailers and even a whole new uniquely voiced character who expands on the backstory of other established characters and added a bunch of new songs to the game. It does feel like they ran out of money when they sat down to create the actual missions though.

I’ve been slowly chipping away at this since the DC came out, do you ever get more significant volumes of the lightweight versions of materials thrown at you? I’ve found lots of places to build roads and such but holy poo poo they want me to bring so many repeat trips of giant boxes of nonsense, which to be fair I guess is the whole game but still the payoff of “an easier surface to travel on for a little bit” doesn’t seem to be worth the time it would take me at the current resource/volume rate to build them. Especially when I’ve been told to eventually look out for zip lines, build said zip lines and use the hell out of zip lines as my main mode of getting around. I’ll be finishing it either way because it’s very good, but the answer will determine whether or not I bother worrying about rebuilding roads right now/ever.

Got back into Death Stranding for the first time since I finished it after launch, and it still rules. I like the DC content I've found so far. The buddy bot seemed sort of questionably useful at first, but I actually really like it now that I've tried it out in the field. It lets me bring more resources out to the road pavers at a time, and I had it carry 96kg of fragile chiral ornaments through a mule camp while I, unencumbered, whooped the mules' asses with their own boxes. Good stuff.

The farmers and weather stations throw lightweight materials at you after you get to to a certain star rating. I can't remember what, I currently have them above 3 stars each, and every delivery I make they give me lightweight materials. I think I'm going to build out the mountian roads this time around. My first two playthroughs I only did the north to south road, and used zip lines for mountains. But now since they added so many ways to transport large amounts of materials, I'm going to tackle the mountain roads. I'm using my ziplines to branch out from the main roads to preppers. Seems like a good strat to max out everyone. Once I get someone to 5 stars I just delete the ziplines to them and move on to the next preppers.

Just so you know you can use the turrets in MULE camps. They're non-lethal and fun as gently caress to just mow down a whole buncha dudes. If one hops on another turret just aim at their feet and it'll knock them out pretty quickly. Edit: As to road chat, I'm obsessive about building roads so go ahead and add me on PSN and let me build your roads: CowmanIII

I don't know how far in you are but you eventually unlock a truck that makes hauling large quantities of resources much less of a pain. You can use the MULE trucks to carry stuff around if you steal one, but the one you get later has a much larger capacity. With a truck you can easily carry enough materials to build a few segments of road in one trip (depending on the segments, some are more expensive than others).

Also don't be shy about taking materials from cities and shelters. There is a recurring mission in Lake Knot that will restock its supply of ceramics fairly often. Camps also frequently have a lot of resources, so clean them out and loot them. Finally, if the builder is on the network you'll get about half of it built by other players. It takes some doing but it's not prohibitive.

That’s good to know, I’m still very early in so my only truck experience is one I stole to escape a MULE camp I wandered into. I’ve been just doing an hour or two at a time most nights, taking my time and getting a few deliveries done after work. I just had what I guess is the second boss battle, getting whisked away to weird World War One trenches to shoot Mads Mikkelsen until he vanishes repeatedly and now I’m on the way to meet Mama.

Oh yeah the Mule trucks are trash. Also note that all trucks have little lights on the back that indicate how full they are, and that cold items don't thaw out in an enclosed vehicle.

Doing my first play through on PC and just got to the part where you go to meet deadman in his cabin and on the way up that mountain face that has you going all rocky 4 montage, I get to the top, start my descent using a climbing anchor, and i get to the end of my anchor, Sam goes to vault a rock / stumbles and instead of landing he HOVER falls down the entire slope building speed while floating above the slope in a fall animation and crashes into the bottom finally going about mach 2 and dies..... I know it was just a glitch but I laughed so hard.... also it was my first death in the game.

Even though I’m playing a couple other games currently I I finally broke down and started a new Directors Cut playthrough on my PS5. Jesus this game looks amazing and I love all the new additions to the gameplay so far. I’m playing on Very Hard since I played the hell out of this game when it originally came out. Just got to Port Knot City and the music plus the vibe of coming down that hill after having to abandon my bike to BTs was just incredible. God I love this game!!

There's so much traversal between locations that having a road makes it a million times easier even if you're not shooting for 5 stars.

It's technical, but here's a pretty interesting GDC talk about the AI and AI pathing in Death Stranding: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqZE5O8VPAU I'll never look at a MULE without appreciating how much work went into getting them to run after me.

What do I need to do to use the cord cutter? I’ve had it for a while now but I never get a prompt to use it, I don’t see it in the weapon or item inventory so I don’t think it’s something I need to equip, and absolutely no approach to a BT or it’s cord gives me a prompt to cut it. I was sitting with a cord running right through me earlier and nothing, I got right up behind the BT and nothing, there’s just never a prompt.

In classic I think I only used the cord cutter for the gold BTs that are immune to all other weapons. It's so much more annoying and worse than just bloodnades / blood gunning everything.

disagree, cord-cutting felt like an mgs cheatcode. bt areas are now just easier mgs guard areas, crouch around, run into the cord then snip snap ya gone. blood gun was something i tried once then never again. which again is just like mgs, might as well not have any gun in the game besides maybe stealth pistol.

I was literally crouched with a cord running through my body and no position I got into would prompt me to cut it. I’ll try it again tomorrow I guess. I already found a couple of BTs that are immune to my blood weapons so hopefully I can get this to work.

You have to crouch, hold breath, and tiptoe much closer to them than you'd ever dared before. Then it's a one button dispatch and a high five from the BT you've freed!
