Board 8 > The Death Stranding topic - A Crytobiote a day keeps the Timefall away

(+) Yeah! (+)

I can confirm when you kill someone with it a lethal weapon it immediately pops a body disposal mission

Die-Hardman is like yo that person's dead it doesn't matter if you did it or not you need to take care of this

I messed up and had to repatriate, oof that's one big crater.

Reloaded cos I don't wanna deal with that shit.

Also how come using the bola guns gets you a penalty on the likes? They're still non lethal weapons.

---

Did you accidentally use them on porters? They look pretty similar to mules but they don't attack you.
---

Oh shit, I didn't even realise normal Porters were walking around, I just blasted away after escaping another encounter.

---

lolz
---

completed the road from Lake Knot City to South Knot City

still got to take the road west but I won't bother until the story takes me there

Wait, you can do stuff that leaves a persistent crater? I've repatriated once or twice but that hasn't happened to me.

Also good to know what the lethal weapons do, I've been sticking to non-lethal weapons or just avoiding mule camps with roads or ziplines as much as I can.

---

Yeah, got gobbled up and it left a crater with a barrier surrounding it.

Had to constantly check the map to see if the destination was affected, when I reloaded and went through the section again the environment was very different.

---

ohhh start upgrading the lethal guns and they become to load hematic bullets so they can also handle BTs
---

I dont want to have to dispose of like 20 MULE bodies when I murder an entire camp because I'm bad at stealth though

Maybe worth if they don't respawn

---

Going through a road when Mules spike your vehicle.

Ejecting you and 100kg of cargo in all directions, feelsbadman

---

Also these HZD Holograms are a really nice touch!

I saw one of the huge fucking giraffe ones and panicked a bit before I realized it was a hologram

---

I've pretty much stopped 2nd map progress and just setting up zip routes on the first map and getting everyone to 5 stars
---

Oh huh, apparently the dirt roads that appear are based on cumulative player use.

here's what I've done to the first map
---

Finally made it to chapter 3, whew. That encounter with Troy Baker sure was something.
---

Finished up getting 5 stars on all locations on the 1st map. Back to the 2nd map

"Just in case you forgot you were playing a Kojima game, here's a super-powered boss and a villain named after a state of matter monologuing at you!"
---

I don't like that you keep referring to a first and second map...
---

You should know what he means by that at the point you're at.
---

Not yet. I can only assume the map is split in two because of all the craters in the middle of the US?
---

You met Troy Baker so you should already be in the second map

---

I had to get off right after the boss battle. Haven't left Port Knot yet.
---

Oh right, guess it was in Port Knot huh? I moved on to the next city pretty quickly so it kinda blended together

---

Uhhh, so checking on BB in your room every time has some... interesting results.
---

I think I've seen all variations of that
---

I've gotten a lot of the BB watching Mads scenes tio repeat too
---

Hahaha, this is extremely good:

Oh Tim Rogers now has a death Stranding spoilers video

Save that for later
---

i have reached chapter 3 and become the Builder Of Roads
---

making a zip network on the 2nd map is much more difficult because of how big it is. I've pretty much left areas directly off the main road alone and only used them for areas that are difficult to reach like the entire southeast side of the map

I'll probably take them all down once I'm finished with getting 5 stars on the east side of the map and rebuild them on the west side once the story takes me there
---

End of Chapter 5 is peak Kojima so far

---

Alright I'm not sure how I did this but by trying to remove the battery on my backpack and replace it with an ammo pack, I've glitched out the backpack. But I appear to be getting the benefits of the battery and the ammo pack now?

The battery model is totally glitched out and stuck relative to Sam in most places. It's fine in the safe rooms but messed up in the loadout and other areas. I even found a hot spring and it was still there (minor Chapter 6 location spoilers)

I have reached 408 BC and become the Builder of Rhodes

---

So I have no idea how, but I suddenly received over 8000 likes and got boosted 30 levels. O.o My top stat is blue now and waaaaaay ahead of my others lol.

Also same. I assume that's why the likes, but I've only been receiving a few hundred here and there so that massive boost was unexpected.
---

Haven't built any roads under my Id but contributed to road rebuilding and had like 11k likes dumped on me and now my Bridge link is like 67.

It's like double my 2nd highest stat.

Haven't gotten the ability to build safe houses or shelters yet but it appears those get thousands upon thousands of likes as well.

Think the only shame so far is that autopavers are at fixed points.

---

Just need to get The Collector and the Movie guy to rank 5 and then I'll be done with the east side of the map and start progressing the story a bit to move west. Something to look forward to tonight
---

I've had kinda bad luck getting my structures to show up for other people and getting likes. I think only maybe 5 of my structures have any. Even when I built a safe house and designated it as an upgrade priority it doesnt seem to have appeared elsewhere. Thankfully roads are powerful like machines but progress on Bridge Link really slows down in the 60s.

I used almost all of my bandwidth on map 2 making a series of ziplines in the southwest, mountainous corner of the map. I guess I need to start ranking people up now.

Do standard orders repeat?
---

My copy is en route but I'm going to play through Pokemon Shield first. After Death Stranding, it will be Jedi: Fallen Order time. Excellent month for me.

Do standard orders repeat?

Yes they refresh every 12 hours and you'll get duplicates. You can see your ranking on them if they were previously completed

Good to know. Fuck doing repeats lol.
---

They're good for me because one of the trophies is getting legend of Legends ranking on 20 of each of the premium delivery types (quality, quantity, timed and misc) so it's useful when an old one pops up that I didn't get that ranking on last time I did it

Also it needs to be 20 unique one's for each. Getting a Legend of Legends ranking on one you already did previously won't get you another one towards the count
---

Is that an S rank?
---

Yeah it's getting an S rank on a premium delivery which is a harder version of a standard order

You get Legend if playing on normal difficulty and Legend of Legends if playing on Hard difficulty
---

I'm not sure I've even run into a premium delivery yet. Only seen standard and story.
---

Might not have unlocked them yet?

I think they unlocked around ther middle of chap. 3

Then any standard order you select can become a premium delivery by hitting right on the d pad
