*This is a safe haven for gamers who value game mechanics and systems, because thatâs what makes anything from 8-bit to 8k, equally enjoyable.*
*Thanks for taking out some time to watch my stuff! I appreciate that!* - Alex
12 more tips await in this new video czcams.com/video/KXpNr4yImRs/video.html
I totally agree... It's hard to put the controller down as I am finding the slow pace of the game oddly enjoyable. đ
Hey, I don't want to get ANYTHING spoiled in this game. Can you maybe give a rough estimation when this video can be watched without getting even the smallest game mechanic spoiled?
@@TadianPlays After you are a few hours into episode 3.
@@BoomstickGaming Thanks, much appreciated.
I liked what you said , this game is one of those experience you get to play every decade, like Skyrim, RDR2, Witcher 3 !
I constructed 2 roads all by myself then the likes came pouring in, theb people started to help with the other roads until it looked like a real highway, this game makes me feel like the world still has some good in it left.
Mac Kind i will definitely save money and buy a ps4 and start playing this game, the connection is real.
It's nice. I started thinking about trying weird paths and stuff just to find out if they are useful or not. If they were somewhat useful I left some gear to help traverse it. I should figure out how to use signs as well to tell people some paths are not recommended etc. It's really fun trying to help others and it's fucking relieving when you are low on stamina and someone just built a random bridge .
I finished the last 3 sections of the road in the 2nd region last night. Its so helpful to be able to use a truck for such a long distance.
I did the first road then got kinda sad when I got hella material and half the roads were done I appreciate it but kinda felt like it was taken from me
@@Vincentpanh The game comes out for PC in 2020. Idk if you have a computer I'm just pointing it out just in case.
When BTs are trying to drag you down, when you escape them actually pulling on you you can actually turn around and pee on the "oil" to make them retreat.
đ
This sounds oddly satisfying and hilarious đ take my like
Thatâs messed up
Heading to a BT hotspot to try this out. Lol
omg đ I love it. what made you even try that??
be sure to level up your connection with "the collector" as quickly as possible. He's near the distribution center south of lake knot city. He can be difficult to find and level up but he gives you a backpack cover that you can use to protect items that are on your backpack from timefall and weather. This is EXTREMELY useful later in the game when the weather is constantly rough. It was definitely one of the most useful items I had.
I just finished the game a couple of days ago and kept thinking how stupid it is you have clothes that are fine in timefall, but can't just throw that fabric over your pack to protect everything. I wish I knew this was a thing early on!
Spike Spiegel thank you so much
Spike Spiegel you can lvl up connections! Never knew that, so standard orders do actually matter.
@@mathewmatiks very much so. Connect with the junk dealer and other guys that give you the leg brace armors, them leveled up is a huge boost to speed and carrying
thank you!
One of the most satisfying things is when you've finally gathered enough materials to build the road and see 900+likes from people who've used your road it's like you've made a difference in life xD
I literally had no bridge link until I built a road or two and suddenly I'm lvl 70. Sweet!
@@secretagentmanua I was somewhere at Level 100 I think when I decided to go online in the game. After the next delivery I made, I got Level 170 :D
Ikr i built maybe 3 roads and got around 130,000 likes
I just spent 2 nights rebuilding every road before chapter 5
I started the game about a week ago and all Iâve really done besides deliveries is rebuilding roads. Paving the way to the future!
My entire game experience is farming BTs to help rebuild everyoneâs structures. I carry well over 12,000 chiral on my person just sprinkling that stuff on every bridge, road, charging station I find. Truly feel like Iâm making a difference getting structures up to level 3 or getting a seamless road trip to make a delivery
Edit: the real heroes farm metals
Edit2: wow look at all those likes!! Feels like Iâm playing the game!
You're a hero!
You're a good man!
I build roads, it's a pain in the ass but someonea gotta do it and seems like nobody I share my network with does it. SinisterOne86 if you wanna strand up
Forgot to say my strand
LoneBridger
The people I'm Bridged with are really good about completing structures and keeping things in good condition. So much in fact that I felt pretty bad about not helping so I spent all my playtime yesterday collecting materials for roads and I built a zip line system so we can get around the mountain areas quickly. Feels good!
When you get the ability to fabricate your truck. Thereâs a row of lights at the back that shows the amount of cargo your truck can carry, once it turns red and all lights are filled. Youâre full.
On which chapter do you get a truck? I'm on third, just got to the farmer. Just so I know I didn't miss it.
IndieRus Iâm on chapter 5 still havenât got it but the long range bikes
omg that's how you tell, thank you. Get truck from Lake Knot south distro, 3 or 4 stars i can't rmb
This, I was losing my mind trying to figure out the sweet spot and its on the trucks ass the hole time! This dude wins the internet.
I was wondering what those lights were for lol
What Death Stranding tought me: Even the apocalypse cant destroy the chemical sludge that is Monster Energy.
Heard they use it on the crops at the Timefall farm. It has what plants crave..
Death stranding seems like Hideo Kojima warning us of 5G. From the talking about expanding the network will cause more chiral storms and death(like more wireless radiation and its health effects). To the symbols used in game like the UCA logo being similar to the United Nations, the symbol when interacting with things or hacking(similar to zionism and the devils symbol). To the emails that that highlight the pros n cons of reconnecting. To the symbolism of the cufflinks themselves(our phones). Kojima leaves nothing to coincidence, his games always follow of trend, a theme, a meaning. Tell me he isn't warning of the global elite and 5G
After watching a video where someone drank a fifteen year old energy drink and did not die, I am convinced that stuff is invincible and eternal now, like twinkies.
Also the more chiral 'network' ie; more 5G = brain tumours. BT's anyone?
@@profoundbathroomgraffiti Electrolytes! Haha
I drank a monster once as a teenager. It made me feel jittery, anxious, and my eyelids were shaking constantly when I tried to sleep it off. I've never touched an energy drink since.
Noobs: combat in this game sucks.
Pros: I beat the crap out of everyone with packages.
I have a combat package, I don't know if the glove helps. but it is fun to hit them with a package.
It just came out there are no pros
If you bola someone while they are wading they will insta KO without having to headshot them or charge shots
I road'killed' everybody with a lvl3 truck i got from someone. And most of the time i could even escape this bt "tar" by just holding r2 pressed. This game was a driving simulator for me.
Just like my UPS guy in real life
Anytime you look up in the sky and see a black lines coming down; there will be BT''s in that direction.
Black lines and a upside down rainbow.
@@samalizadev To be fair, I just left Port Knot City and until now I have always seen black lines in the sky where a upside down rainbow was. They have always come together for me at this point.
Never thought about that, thanks
@@Plush.Hunter bcz there are areas that are always has bts, for example the mountain area between port knot and the rest of first region, also that bt forest at wind farm
Me and my buddy figured this one out on his playthrough. Very helpful for planning your routes and avoiding problem BT areas.
Maybe a really obvious one....but something i didn't realize at first:
You can take shelter from timefall under any bridge!
One thing I never used was the timfall shelters because I thought they were kind of pointless unless you had to repair your cargo but you can actually pass time while standing under them. If you hold square under them 10 minutes will pass and you can keep going until the rain dissapears.
Are you guys enjoying this game?
@@SuperMurray2009 I literally cant stop playing. Its addictive as fuck. So yes! Its weird. The moment to moment game play is actually very involved because youre contsantly factoring in various things. Your balance, the condition of the cargo, and obviously the threats. But also the time..the other players leaving trails..the working together to build things. Its great.
And under any protruding mountain side!
@@Marko25Polo Yeah you turned into a MULE.
Might already be mentioned by one of the tips in game, but if you throw down a hematic grenade, bullets that are shot through the blood cloud are able to deal damage to BTs. Same goes for throwing a grenade near a crowd of BTs and letting your blood cover them, shooting at the bloodstained parts of the BT also does damage to them.
Also, there is a memory chip in one of the small caves at the side of the mountain a little to the south east of where you can find 'Elder', that memory chip contains blueprints that would let you build a new bike, which has increased battery life and also has shields.
BloodTrinity oh shit thanks man!
BloodTrinity,
Thatâs amazing. Thank you!
Wait, there are bullets in this game? Holy crap. I don't want to necrotize anyone.
Cavey Möth, Agreed. I go out of my way to try and not necrotize and MULEâs.
Now I know what It meant, by what I got from it. Thanks.
I think I spent half my time in this game just building or repairing structures. It's amazing how you can become addicted to the feeling that spending time helping with these is going to make someone else's game a bit easier. I LOVE this mechanic in the game. Even though it is single player it constantly reminds you that we're all in it together!
Many likes to you.
I can only give you one like on YT.
How much time did you end up putting into the game in total?
@@EhCloserLook Can't say in OP's behalf, but I also spent like half of my time repairing, upgrading, building structures and roads. By the time I reached the end and did the last few post-credits missions and redid some deliveries in very hard difficulty, I've spent a total of about 300 hours with the game. But now I'm pretty much done.
@@E5rael It ended up taking me 86h 18m to finish the DC version of the game. I started out on the regular version _thinking_ that I had bought the DC and then upgraded probably about 29 hours in? Anyways, the game was great. That said, F*** Gamerant because their website claimed that it took 30-35 hours to beat DS. For this reason I decided to start the game while I was preparing for a cross-country move IRL. But at about 65 hours in I realized that I was not even halfway through the game! This resulted in my basically pulling an all-nighter before my flight. It was really stressful, but I digress.
âLetâs all help each other outâ.
This.
Keep on Keepin' on â
Zip lines. Zip lines everywhere. Roads. Roads everywhere. So much easier playing DS now that almost all the players who got early access have put down useful stuffs heh!
What is this ? Belt and road simulator ?? XD
3 days later people blocking your roads with vehicles
I love it when people build bridges.. Unless they build bridges that lead right to a rock wall. But I'll like it anyway.
I honestly love how most of this comment section is just people sharing helpful tips to everyone. Its really wholesome.
Yeah, pretty cool. This game appeals to good, somewhat chill gamers. Great community
That's what is cool about this game. It engenders cooperation intrinsically by it's nature. A brilliant game.
Kojima and team would be proud
Kojima will be proud
It's like we're still playing the game
âA few times a decadeâ - Basically everytime Kojima makes a game
Or Breath of the Wild
after 60hr playing i never notice there is a electric charger at the base, until i saw ur tips. thx
same here đ€Ł
I'm almost 200hours and never noticed that lol
I saw them right away in Capital Knot and had no idea what they were for. Once I got to the central region, I quickly stumbled across a mule truck during an order to get cargo back from them, desperately drove out to Lake Knot to recharge it, only to find out you can't use it with the garage. I decided to park it in a spot like the Bridges trucks outside and that's how I accidentally found out they recharge. It's definitly not an obvious feature but I like that it's there.
65 hours in and i never even thought of this
after 860 hours i didnt know we could carry packages
The go faster signs give your vehicle a speed boost as you pass through them
Nice! I was testing that on foot but was missing the vehicle element.
Grandpa Waffles wow amazing didnt know that đ” we gotta place a lot of signs on the road highways
@@razorphil4973 dude i placea bunch of signs on the road that I built but then they all disappear
If you didn't know, pressing the sprint button on a vehicle makes it go faster at the expense of battery energy.
Likes for likes sign gives you a like)
Might not seem obvious, but if you consume all the items on the table and then use the restroom you get more gnades out of it.
THE_GHOST-23 also, if you look in the direction of the bathroom and do nothing Sam will beg you to use it đ
@@andrelopes4988 only if he is dirty I think
peenades
I pictured that one bath water selling lady when I saw the shower water grenades đ
btw, if you do not eat, you will not produce grenade#2
Somebody might've mentioned already, but;
Headshots with the Bola gun vs MULEs is better than bodyshots because it knocks them out automatically, saves you having to run up and kick them unconscious
Another tip: when you are crouching, you can use the first person view to go faster.
It's very useful in the snow areas.
How do yoy go into first person view?
@@mattsmith3839 just hold L1
This is one of my favorite tips! Thank you, great for creeping through BT territory as well!
For the longest time Iâve done this itâs comforting to have some proof Iâm not just crazy and it actually does something!
The first person view is also really useful for lining up to walk over a tricky ladder, or just repositioning your view when you're on a ledge or next to a river, or somewhere else where there's a risk of falling if you stumble on the terrain.
If you headshot Mules with the Bola gun, you will instantly knock them out instead of just restraining them. It can be tricky to hit the headshot, but it is very helpful.
Good tip.
You can also knock out restrain Mules by approaching them and pressing square button.
or you can lure them on a river or any body of water, hit them anywhere with the bola gun and instant stun
Honestly not that tricky for anyone who played Dead Space. Iâd honestly say anyone who has experienced this series might almost have an advantage when it comes to performing efficiently in combat.
This works with the non lethal weapons also. Rubber bullets to the head homies go night night
@@odinsky773 Haha, I did that and was laughing when I came back an hour later and they were still unconscious in the water. I guess MULEs wear rebreathers or something, idk how they were still alive.
When you come across a mule camp and they scan you right away activate your scanner and you'll negate them locating you and you can continue on sneaking into their camp.
For real?!
Nice
You have to get the upgrade first
@@bokcoli Yep, I got the upgrade from Timefall Farm
I knew about this but I've never been able to get the timing right. Just don't know when to activate the scanner since it has a delay on it.
Tip that made combat ALOT easier for me. If you equip your weapon to the weapon rack you can easily access it when needed by tapping the right d pad without having to go into the weapon/tools wheel. This also allows you to easily put it away when you want your hands free. This works with anything that you attach to your weapon rack (ladders, grenades, bola gun, etc.) Can put the item/weapon away by tapping it a second time. Quick weapon/tool access using the right D-Pad
I never knew this, gotta give it try today after work đđ
Nah let them have their fun
This game sure gives you a new perspective on life. Times are much harder without roads, vehicles and such. We take such things for granted in our everyday lives, but Death Stranding really shows us what it would be like without them.
Oh, and Iâm addicted to Monster now. Thanks, Kojima! đ
When you throw a blood grenade at a BT boss, equip your normal rifle and shoot through the blood fog the bullets get instantly coated with blood and deal significant damage to the BT boss.
gelfrid peng Thatâs awesome
whoa
Biggest tip here is that there's a skip for all of the repetitive mini cutscenes.
If only it wasn't holding a tiny button on the controller, stick motion then button to complete it... This is my #1 gripe with the game. I'm hoping they add a way to skip by holding/double tapping a button in a future patch.
Hey I'd even settle for a hadokuen move or something that doesn't make me use that stupid tiny button.
They had those in BOTW too, every time you entered a shrine...
What's the sequence to skip?
@@TheHellogs4444 press option then select skip (LS or dpad) then hit X
You don't want to skip all the "repetitive" cutscenes. There are some that vary dramatically, if infrequently, to keep it spoiler free.
I connected Mountain Knot City and the Weather station using Ziplines. Mapping out the Zipline network on those snowcapped peaks feels like setting up the warning pyres when Gondor called for Rohan's aid.
I'm not gonna lie, this game got me to buy at least one monster.
An actual monster monster?
Same haha. I bought 3 of em irl, the marketing got me.
@@notchedbandit A monster sized Monster.
I felt this
haha, I bought several 6-packs of it... whenever Sam cracks one open, I tend to grab one myself
Here's some more tips (with game mechanics spoilers, so spoiler alert)
-Bola shots to the head instantly knocks the target out, shots to the body only temporarily disables them
-Want to get rid of the rain? put your stuff somewhere safe nearby and let the BTs drag you to the boss for that area, either escape the boss or kill it. Killing it will net you a whole lot of chiral crystal dust thing if you are in need of some
-See MULEs chasing after you? just run them over with your bike or truck. Do note that this will damage anything that the MULEs are carrying
-There's an optional upgrade for your backpack, a backpack cover. There's already a few guides around showing how you can get it
-Hate going up to the elder on the mountain? Instead of going up from the MULE camp side of the mountain try going up on the exact opposite. Just go south from the Engineer's place and there's a pretty easy path for vehicles to reach up there. There's also something cool to see here.
-You can sleep from the sitting position, in case you need to take a 10-20 minute rest yourself
-There's a center of gravity indicator when you load up Sam, the white circle on the floor is the indicator
-You can ride bikes up ladders
-The power frames are worth using imho, especially when you encounter terrain that's hard for vehicles to pass through the first time around
-You can get frostbite on your fingers and toes if you climb around in the snow for too long, it'll last a few sleep cycles and doesn't have negative effects as far as I can tell
-When a spot gets a lot of pee, it'll attract the floating worms for you to harvest
This deserves more likes!!!
@@PoissonedApple1 Exactly!!!
Just started playing last weekend, so havenât reached any snowy areas yet. That frostbite tip is an interesting immersion touch. I wonder if they did consider adding a negative affect with it?
I love how people can troll too. I had a fragile item that shouldnât be vibrated much, I was in my truck charging at a generator and they hid a speed boost in the line of sight of the generator, I go to leave and go flying into a rock, breaking my package and forcing a restart, I never laughed so hard
Probably there was a road in there, but not in your progress yet, cus I only see speedbooster in roads all the time
Who placed the speed bost may not even see the generator.
Each player has a diferent world
Similar experience: players placing speed boosts on the highway. Some are super helpful.... others are placed on the dangerous curvy parts near mountain knot for you to hit and get launched off the road.
You can always remove dangerous speed boost signs.
Tip 1: If you time it right you can jump over the mule scan wave to avoid being scanned.
Tip 2: You can put cargo that you are holding in your right or left hand straight into a truck or onto trike without opening cargo menu.
Tip 3: Any mail that mentions seeing a "shiny object" is a hint on where to find a memory chip.
Tip 4: Struggling to get ziplines to link up? Upgrading a zipline to rank 2 will increase its distance from 300 to 350. Rank 3 will however not increase any further. Connected ziplines a Rank 2 is reaching do not need to be upgraded to reach back.
Tip just heard this one havent tryed myself but holding x in the menu to confirm instead of scrolling all the way to the bottom
Scott Stanley this should be top comment. Along with skipping the mini vids
I know Iâm late but the game told me in that in the beginning
That is 100% correct
Idk if the tip is in the video but crouching while going down hill makes it way easier.
Good call. It's about the same as "gripping" while going down hill but perhaps a little safer.
@@BoomstickGaming crouching will also allow you to walk on uneven terrain without having to balance your cargo.
Nah screw that, I skate down on carrier!
@@XDark8SlayerX And if the terrain is absolute shit, you can always grip those backpack straps AND crouch. Never gonna fall that way!
I just grip from time to time so I wont fall, yet sam full bolt down the slope with extreme speed
While I can understand maybe this game isn't for everyone I'm really enjoying it . Its beautiful, atmospheric and strange . I'm hooked . Thanks for the tips !!!
Welcome
Ditto, it's oddly soothing, kinda like you're playing a movie...dream lol.
the game is for us
You're not alone mate. Love it
Alan Dean people trashed the gameplay, but Iâm finding it fun and addictive
Thought I was having a stroke at the monster part. Lol
Me too!
đ This comment is pure gold... monster gold that isđ
When you watch this video despite already completing Death Stranding just to see whether or not you already knew the tricks in the video
Did you know you can shoot remote detonation grenades onto small cargo then throw them onto you back to carry around instant Thematic grenade B.T. replant?
It damages cargo slightly but you can shoot a whole bunch on and just sprint through the B.T. zones using them like proximity mines.
And it doesn't damage anything on a cargo carrier
And people were saying the game has no depth. It's kinda sad cause it kills the chances of someone giving it a go.
Word of mouth will spread
This will be a game talked about years later. Kojima knew it wasnât gonna be for everyone but that was his vision
Most people talking shit about the game haven't played it, I swear. Kinda sad.
This game is the best game to come out this year in my opinion.
@@jmcg85 All those 0s and 1s on metacritic are just pathetic. People are insane for giving such a polished - at least you could give Kojima credit for that - game these low scores. I love the gameplay and complexity, logistical challenges are much more engaging than shooting enldess waves of enemies in COD or other run of the mill shooters.
We've invented a "hockey puck" that can build entire structures, but, at the same time, battery technology still sucks.
duracell conspiracy... they brought on the BTs.
I mean... they can send power through the Beach, why does my tricycle have to run on batteries? Where are the chiralium power cords? Ahem, I mean... power-strands?
@83rdox
Wait, how does Playstation work into that? I still have my original PS1, PS2, PS3, and PS4, as well as all the original controllers with no issues, I'm still using the same PS4 controller that I got with the console 6 years ago.
Cloth don't age, but the boxes do.
@@Xiox321 You don't have kids, do you. lol
PROTIP: delivering other peopleâs cargo which you can grab en mass from shared lockers at distro centers or knot cities will get you a ton of Bridge Link points, both increasing your overall level and also increasing âsync levelâ every tenth level. Its not exactly clear what it is but it seems to increase the chance of other players stuff being in your world and vice versa, which is extremely helpful as you can imagine!
Something i noticed when resting in the private room is that when BB is making sounds, go check on him and âsmoothâ him. Most of the time i did that i got an unusual cutscene that is different from the normal scene you get. Just something fun I noticed.
When losing stability crouch and stand up fast and you won't need to hold the triggers to recover your stability. It helped me a lot when I just wanted to run with heavy gear. This helps a lot when making turns.
Something about this video makes me want to purchase a Monster Energy Drink. No clue why. Must be subliminal advertising
Herbert Pocket I actually bought 2 yesterday đđđ
Subliminal monster-tizing.
What does it taste like? Im not a big fan if energy drinks so I've never tried one
Same
I'm still finishing off my lifetime supply of CalorieMate blocks. At least now I'll have a drink to go with it.
When sneaking around BTs make sure to change the camera angle so it's over your shoulder that has the Adirondack scanner thing lol. Then u always know which direction not to go.
May have been mentioned already but a useful tip for anyone using the MULE trucks in chapter 3, (I was previously told you cannot repair them) I just figured out that if you leave the truck inside one of the MULE bases, they will fix it up once they're not unconcious, obviously you'll have to steal it back from them but it seems a small price to pay to have them fix the ride
avoid dropping off from ledges, but if you absolutely must, use L1 to look down and it will tell you how far the drop is.
Im only 18 but I played alot of games and I cant remember the last time since I was hooked so much too a Game. It surely isnt for everyone. But Jesus it is a piece of Art for me. Finally a dev who tries something completely new and shows a great success of a New "Genre". Im pretty sure we need games like this to improve the modern gaming Market. This Game is truly one of a Kind!
Traveling in games has been made somewhat obsolete, fast travel and such. Most games are fun when you get there. I like the subversion of Kojima making a game that is all about how you are getting there.
I feel the same way man and I got many years on you :)
only 18 but smarter than older ones it seems
@@11deanski33 I love how you see a mountain, you climb the mountain in real time, it's actually difficult and you need items to help you, you descend as a song herald's your achievement, really unique in games for some reason.
There is a breif period after liking something for the first time where you can spam like it, so do that for anything you find useful or anytime you wanna help.
*Today's a good day*
This ones for you.
"Mine's heavier..."
It is nearly impossible to tip over while crouched even if you have a huge cargo load.
You can customize your bag to have a cover that protects it's cargo and prevents cargo being knocked off. Need to 2 or 3 star the collector.
I really hope you can help me with something actually. I keep doing errands for him and i get likes from his deliveries but the likes aren't increasing the stars? Is this a glitch you've encountered or does his errands just give so few likes that i can't see the stars filling up? I need that backpack cover man
@@TheGozeraye I think if you find lost items for him you can get those lines you need
@@TheGozeraye It's a deliberate and dumb design choice. You'll have the same problem with all the 'Preppers', such as Cosplayer, Veteran Porter, Film Director, Novelist's Son, Collector, and The First Prepper.
You have to earn likes until the current star won't fill anymore, then go to a private room, enter it, receive a message from the person you did the delivery for, read it, then leave the Private Room, then enter the Private Room again, receive a second message from them, read it, then leave again, and you can do more deliveries until the second star won't fill, then repeat.
Albert Carver Thank you man. Every other facility went up so quick and I just wasted about 10 minutes doing two orders for the Collector to get no connection. Heâs already a pain in the ass to reach as is haha but thanks it makes sense now.
You're welcome mate, happy I could help :)
Thanks for the tip about throwing a grenade at your feet when being dragged under by the oil monsters. I hadnât thought to try that at all. Oh and Iâve only just found your channel; it seems fantastic so will be checking out more of your content. Thank you so much.
Cool thanks!
Zip-Lines will be your best friend. Sooo fun too. Making a zip-line trails when you travel further west is ideal đ
The canteen can be refilled when your are walking through rivers or when it is raining. Recycle used/destroyed items for building materials. Chiral crystal appear more and in larger quantities during timefall storms. There is a clip on the left side of the back pack to carry two extra pairs of boots. The Odradek will point at the direction BT is going.
it also refils in rain shelters
A few stuff i found out.
1. Dont sleep in snowy areas, you will freeze to death.
2. When resting/sitting down, you can press L1 + down button to play with BB. You can press and hold R3 to focus camera on BB.
3. Hotsprings have different effects. The blue ones restore your stamina up to an additional 25%. Theres white,green,brown and blue i have found so far.
4. You can spam the like button to give multiple likes in one go.
5.Check post boxes for materials you can claim that are donated or lost by other players in the area. Then use it to build roads.
6. if you walked the same path a couple of times it creates a footpath for easy travel, this works really good especially in snowy areas as this will make walking faster by not having your feet deep in snow.
7. If you are brave enough and have a lot of hematic grenades, just let yourself get drag away by BTs and kill the boss. The area will be cleared away for a few delivery runs.
Make sure you don't leave stuff in the open world and then go far away from it. It'll disappear. If you have to leave stuff behind, build a post box and dump your stuff in there. I learned the fuckin hard way.
As I was close to ending a mission I decided to take a leak at the top of a river bridge. After zipping up I lost control of Sam and of course he fell in the water. Paddling left and right, baby screaming and all my precious cargo floating down the river. Some of it I got hold of pretty quickly. Rushed to shore, soothing BB before offloading everything to run for the rest. Unfortunately I also offloaded my shoes in the process. As I managed to get all my gear back down the river, Sam had a very odd walk back in his bare feet. I could have just reloaded the last save but heck..
@@HanOnkel did you learnt the lesson? that's all that matters.
Also BIG tip here, if you donate ANY amount of a material to a auto-paver you will be linked online to a number of other players who are working on that instance, and the paver will often complete by the time you come back, you will also recieve notifications on when a player contribues.
the grenade pouches you can craft during episode 3 are a game changer. same deal as the utility pouch for blood packs, but let you carry as many grenades as you have pouches installed on your pack.
Iâm not sure if this has been said but spotting out rainbows lets you know where the BTs are at.
I thought that just meant there was rain? I have seen plenty rainbows without seeing a single BT.
Dippins Sticks hey dude, in the opening they point out a rainbow and then it gets crazy. I notice if I go directly into the middle of a rainbow, it rains, BT area rains, and then BTs are all over.
Rainbows only tell you that timefall is on its way, plus timefall doesnât always mean there are BTs.
An easier way to tell if there are BTs in an area is to look for black strands that extend into the sky.
Let go of the stick and pull both triggers to do a harder stop.
For an instant stop, cue up the "pee" mechanic, and hit L2 then quickly after R2 for a sec. It's a bug so it may not work forever.
Quick Tip - For those struggling to get around the Wind Farm BTâs, you can simply go onto the cliff side to the right. But be very careful as it might be tricky. If itâs already in the chiral network then someone most likely will have placed a climbing anchor to get to it.
If you have enough time while escaping from the tar BTs in the ground: having Sam pee on them makes them freak out and dissapate.
Thank you. ')
If youâre going back to a place youâve already been to, use your scanner to see your old foot prints and follow them so you donât have to set markers again
Just enter the compass and make sure you're facing where you wanna go
I use this for back tracking avoid fight with BT
The more times you or another porter use the same path it will make a dirt path
Love the helping out everyone... I spent like 2 hours building the first 2 sections of road when I got to the new territory.
Then came back the next day, to see even more built. So cool
I love building dem roads. Then again, I'm addicted to Euro Truck Simulator as well, so it only makes sense.
power sliding with O will bring you to a stop usefull for when you have alot of momentum and are about to run into a wall
I dont know why but, when people hating this "walking simulator", thats allways makes me want to play it more.
People who call it that, gave up before chapter 3
I dont understand how walking simulator is an insult, it's literally just a genre. "Pfft, its an FPS" - not an insult
@@BoomstickGaming People don't hate on Farming Sims nor Trucking Sims, but this game got all the hate for being a Delivery Sim.
@Nilly Sigger bruh literally just go to Google first instead of being ignorant and making comments lol.
As I waited for the PC release, watching people on the internet complain about it is what made me want to play it more. I knew Kojima had made something to complex for the average gamer yet again
most youtubers doing the walkthroughs need to watch this damn vid
And also all the ppl who said the gameplay sucks, not every game have to be COD or Ass Creed, a game can be it's own thing and be beautiful, like this game which I am hooked on.....got a late start on it but I am so loving everything about this game!!!
When you reach the snowy mountains: place zip lines strategically to all the main hubs / high peaks and you will zoom past everything. That zone is my favorite as I 5 started the whole vicinity within 2 hours or less.
Unfortunately I did the entire thing walking and hardly using any zip lines lol
Yeah I placed zip lines everywhere i can get anywhere with them
When using repair spray don't use it out in the rain. Find shelter then use it. Far more effective and the can will last a lot longer.
Or just run to someones timefall shelter and get free unlimited spray...
One issue I had was when you get dragged off to a mini boss fight in the middle of a timefall and your cargo gets scattered. Stuff fixed to your suit doesnt appear to fall off so I suggest stacking the grenades to your arms and/or thighs to avoid losing them all and having to run through the tar to try and pick them up again before attacking.
Put them in grenade pouches you can craft for your backpack.
I realized that youâll see other peopleâs avatars (theyâre completely white) when you fight the catcher. They throw hematic grenades and blood pouches to you, so you can just pick up what they throw to defeat it instead of always carrying so many.
Love the fact that the game is about bringing people together and it's actually succeeding nicely at it đ
I found that if my bike depleted it's energy, i could turn the handle left & right, which would gesture Sam's feet to push forward against the ground, consequently moving the bike forward a bit. It's a great way to keep your bike and your cargo that's in it, and traverse a short distance towards a charging station or end-point or something.
Now, imagine doing that on a downward slope.....
THIS!!!!!! I figured this out somewhat soon after I got the bike it ran out of energy close to two bridges I built to a generator and I tried doing that and I said to myself I'll be damned!!!! hell of a tip right there!!!!
You can conserve space by recycling materials then pulling them out again. Like the biggest metal you can find is 400 but if you recycle a bunch into a post then you can pull out 1000 metal and it will be the same size
whoa thanks bro will try this
7:00 one time they knocked off my gear and left me with nothing, so I tried peeing on them and they went away
Wait are you serious?
@@bigboy4137 no joke. it's a real thing.
Big Boy I tried it several times. After escaping the puddle anyway they seemed to disappear. Maybe it was due to timeout but the game doesnât say later on that your urine repels them (to the point it making urine grenades.) I figured if thereâs a pee mechanic in game it must have a use or achievement at least
Im gonna try that for sure nowđ What avoue pee grandes do they work on mules?
@@mazenabisamra2937 BTs only
I went across something really cool and somewhat useful sometimes. When in a BT zone, you can actually see the rain dropping on said BT, so you can spot them "easily", with the help of BB
I really like that detail as it feels very nice when you spot one by yourself đ
(You may have to be close, though)
When youâre in the Lake Knot City Area, try and build up your star reputation with the preppers. The upgrades and equipment they give you is totally worth it. The distro south of Lake Knot will eventually give you access to a truck that seems to carry a ton more cargo than the MULE trucks. The Junk Dealer will also eventually give you pouches to carry on your bag (like the pouch you have for blood bags) so you can carry grenades in pouches, an extra battery pack without having to lug around cargo boxes on your back for those items. Also...the cosplayer gives you something i thought was cool. Now go explore!! :)
One thing I didn't notice for a little while is that you can press triangle in the cargo menu to optimize your load. Also, ranking up at each delivery point is the best thing you can do. This is how you unlock a lot of upgrades to your equipment and items, as well as some customization.
Yea. That's a good one!
Ranking up?
@@golDroger88 When you make a delivery to a station, you slowly increase your rank with the station, represented by 1 to 5 stars.
Oh my god I didn't know you could face the repair spray at yourself. Or the saving thing. Hells yeah bro thanks.
Welcome!
CaptGeech I definitely think the best way is to go into the cargo menu and put EVERYTHING you can possibly carry on your back and then turn the canister around and spray it at yourself. It fixes everything at once and is a better use of it than individually hitting crates and boxes on your bike or the ground or whatever.
Or hold triangle and dump everything on the ground and only pick up the deliveries youâre gonna make and just repair those. Your grenades and ladders and stuff generally get destroyed over the time fall anyhow, so donât waste repair spray on them.
when you're bike is broken . You can aim the repair spray at the broken part and it fixes it.
I just bought this for my hubby and I for Easter, it is quite addictive. We started playing it 3 days ago and even my kids ask if they can watch us play the game lol. I appreciate videos like this as well as their comment sections because there have been some things in the game where the hubby and I just kind of sit there scratching our heads going now what. I'll admit it took me about 15 minutes and a google search to figure out how to build a generator and how to use the grenades. So thank you for the wonderful content. đ
I'm thinking about getting this for him or my sons! It's definitely different.
"A husband and wife who plays together, stays together."
My tips: Do not attempt to walk adjacent to any vehicles while carrying a lot of cargo. Sam may inexplicably lose balance and start moonwalking, only to collide with an invisible wall, which deals damage to your cargo.
Transfer cargo directly from the ground to your vehicle by pressing start and going to the cargo menu right after you exit the vehicle. This will save time and also give Sam fewer opportunities to flop over or moonwalk.
Do not attempt to hide from BTs or even hunt them one by one with grenades. This is a waste of time. Instead, get yourself caught by them so that you can take on the easy boss, which only requires 10 or so hematic grenades, and can stop the rain for 5 seconds, and rewards you with tons of hematic crystals. Just be sure to leave your cargo a safe distance away before you run in for battle like a brave porter.
Remember to do wheelies with your reverse trike to get over rocky terrain. You'll have pretty much no excuse to leave your bike behind as it can make it through some inedible obstacles, while having a lower probability of damaging your cargo than carefully traversing that terrain on foot, somehow.
Even if Sam is over encumbered, he can still jump into his reverse trike and rocket off like a jacked up jackrabbit. It's like the trike has magic anti gravity powers.
Don't expect to get any likes on your bridges or structures, no matter how perfectly placed they are. Perhaps someone else in another online dimension already put a structure there, so they don't see yours.. Or nobody likes you.
But never fear, because you can still get lots of likes. All you have to do is drop some resources on the road building structures, and boom! You'll have tons of messages letting you know that people are using your road. And you didn't even have to finish it! Try to add resources to as many of these road building structures as you can without actually finishing them. You'll get so many likes to compensate for the likes that you didn't get by actually completing things.
Keep on moonwalking on. Remember to hold L2 and R2 right before you hit the invisible wall.
I unironically love this game, i always have been more inclined to immersion than arcadey fun.
Agreed. Many gamers do not understand this!
I find it dreadfully hard to get immersed with all the arcadey gui stuff that's all over the place
@@psyantologist telling exactly every aspect of the game you are playing with more depth, that's immersion too.
Same. I love arcadey but games like this are amazing as well. Thats one reason i like The Long Dark. It is deep and isnt a shooter just a every day survival game
Kojima made videogames where you throw a grenade into a crocodile's mouth to turn it into cans of food, or pee to make a mushroom appear. They're more arcadey than we give them credit for
If you're having trouble with getting the rope counter timing, you can shoulder check the MULEs by holding both shoulder triggers to grip your pack and pressing attack. Then while they're stunned, you can quickly incapacitate them with the rope from behind. Keeps container damage to a minimum and is useful if there's nothing you can find to break.
When you cut the BTâs strand you receive a like from BT
How do you cut it?
@@evanlinjin256 You'll get an upgrade in the story for your cuffs that will allow you to cut them
@@thewaix4178 Thank you! I finally finished the game today :)
You had me at the map thing. Iâm almost 50 hours in and I had no idea I could shift map elevation to better see where Iâm going.
Thank you
If you want to keep cargo safe when fighting use a pcc and place the private locker
I cant stop playing DS lol im addicted
It's a terrible game though.
@@UltraEgoMc That's your opinion, everyone has a different taste
Same!
Are you turning into one of those MULEs?
@@UltraEgoMc I'm guessing you're being sarcastic.. It's a classic game. Been enjoying the fuck out of it.
Every single recipient of pristine cargo : âWow, this is in perfect condition! I canât believe you carried all this by yourself! Your shoulders must really be taking a beating!â
Me with my smoking, fizzling, rust-bucket stolen MULE truck : âYeah, I just stole a MULE truck right after I got here ... itâs literally parked right behind me ... looking like itâs about to burst into flames any second now ... anyhoo, love to stay and chat, buuuuuut ... Got any orders for me??!!â
That was the thought that was in my mind this morning after i got to the guy that gives you the gun. LIke urhm no dude i just drove here.
I was going to absolutely lose it if the ad that pops up right after the whole Monster bit was actually for Monster.
And please help craft roads!!!!
That's a thing???
@@jamessummers5936 yeah you start to see these things in chapter 3 on the side of an old road. It takes a lot of materials but if everyone chips in some it makes a section of a road. And charges any battery if you walk or drive in the middle of the road
@@allstarsteinman1 Ah sweet!
@Rudye Breach Fam...I think I added you as a Bridge Contract(?) last night.
@Rudye Breach yes!!!!!
Thank you. I've been on the fence about DS. I'm going to get it today. MONSTER
Have fun! Stick with it!
SquidBag I bet you only watched gameplay and havenât played it for yourself đ€Šđœââïž
I dont need to play it, my friends told me everything about and its mediocre at best, Kojima drone.
To each their own. Some people are saying it's boring, I guess I'm more patient than they are. The first few hours were interesting as long as you know it's cutscene heavy. The next few hours were frustrating to me and had some slow moments but it was mostly me being stubborn and not wanting to learn the mechanics. I got back on the next day and figured everything out that I was frustrated with and have been loving it ever since. Just stick with it, it gets better and better as it goes. Don't be impatient or lazy about it like these other guys.
@chris sanvo If you want to have a mind of your own then do what you want without outside influence
You dont have to be afraid of BTs when deadman takes your BB to fix it and you have to go without it for a while.
- When you get the warning that there are BTs in the area just walk very slowly. Right before you bump into them the âsquare: cut its umbilical cordâ message will pop up.
- You also dont have to ditch your bike when you encounter BTs, if you dont get too close and drive slowly they wont touch you.
- Build and connect zip lines around mountain areas.
These are actually good tips, unlike other channels and articles that seem to have pretty useless advice. Great Video!
A good tip is when you can craft the time fall shelters they come with a nice free repair spray as they activate. If it doesn't repair everything in one pass, walk out of the circle and get another free spray down!
Also the tiny cargo carriers are floating sleds... They have to be attached to you but you can basically shield slide on them... Press square to kick/push
Resources for each facility can be seen from the map, you can also see how much an auto paver needs left.
Cyrus Wu Any idea how it determines who gets credit for building a road? The person that starts/finishes it? Puts the most materials into it? Iâve tried everything but it always has someone elseâs name on it, even if I contribute 100%.
@@MrJagermeister tbh no clue, though I've built all the ones between lake knot and south knot so Im getting at least some credit. Right now 100k likes
For the pizza deliveries: (assumung you have no other deliveries or cargo) craft 8 lvl 1 pcp's and carry them all on your back (do not auto arrange them as they will be placed elsewhere). Then take on the pizza order and load that onto your back as well.
The pcp's will be arranged vertically behind you and the pizza will be placed horizontally on top of them.... then just walk, run or zipline as you please without ruining the pizza or having to tow or a chiral guzzling floater.
300 hours in and loving this game! An unexpected journey I embarked on was re-building the highway in the Central region. It was a long process as I re-built about 95% of it single-handedly before connecting the areas to the Chiral Network. Now that the entire thing is complete and the Central region is all hooked up to the network, I just maintain the roads every few days as I go through the game, completing all the Standard deliveries. The highway got me around 800k likes and I can't help but feel pride in my contribution to the world :D Such a special, special game!
Recycle used equipment and supplies, they give you materials to make more
i recycle but only because it feels bad throwing the trash out in the world. this is the most beautiful post-apocalyptic world ever.
So much this on both accounts. Gotta build those freeways somehow, right? LOL
Dropping excessive stuff into a share locker gives you decent amount of likes. If you don't need resources at the facility try donating.
If you bring your truck with deliverables into the delivery station basement pad, you can directly complete the order without carrying onto your back again from the truck.
Found out by accident today that MULEs donât particularly like you blood nades either. I think it did some damage but mostly blinded the guy and made a huge mess but it was mostly the mess (Iâll take covered in blood over covered in oil any day)
Also at the beginning of chapter 5 you get ziplines which is the *real* best way to travel. As far as my friends and i can tell you can go back and complete stuff from previous chapters at that point so youâre not losing everything and finding one of the best things in an open world game ever.
A cool tip I use is to use a rope anchor to cross large bodies of water. Weighs less than a ladder, and longer
This didn't work for me when I tried it!! I wonder what I was doing wrong...
You can be swept away while holding onto a rope it has happened to me
@@looseidmusic8620 lol he's just trolling, there are bound to be some bad tips/comments here.
