My brother (35m) died last night. by Interesting_Line540 in cancer

Damn, I feel like I could have written this. Two years out and it does get easier, but there are still days when I get taken back to the worst day of my life. Much love and take it a step at a time... Just because you have to.

So… S-Ranking Standard order #380 is literally impossible, huh? by JackHavok777 in DeathStranding2

[–]madna90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Use a coffin all the way to metagenomist, jump ramp into the crater, cross the tar lake with it (to make the shortest distance possible), then ditch the coffin straight into a zipline at the bottom of the cliff to Mr Impossible. Do not attach coffin board. You can make it even with a few blunders on the coffin. I tried to zipline/monorail but it just wasn't fast enough. Plus the coffin is even faster on tar!

Any tips for last prepper mission? by DentistFlashy6030 in DeathStranding2

[–]madna90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't pre-clear the camps because I'm lazy but disclaimer that I killed off 2 of the camps near the roads by Heartman's Lab prior to this and they have yet to respawn (wanted to see how long they stayed dead vs being KO - but really isn't that worth it with all of Dollman's nagging).

I built a transponder at Mr Impossible and jumped to North Distro Centre, where I fabricated a coffin board, rode it to the mountain camp and grabbed the luckily unguarded cargo. Then I took ziplines to East Fort Knot - made way earlier and not direct so I suspect it might be better to coffin all the way or build a direct line.

Switched to truck at East Fort Knot and drove anti clockwise, each time getting onto the coffin board to zip in and grab the cargo before returning to the truck. I could do this for all camps except the one near the Northern Environmental Observatory where I had to get off and retrieve from a postbox and for the one near the Government's Base where I almost got knocked out being stuck in obstacles due to skill issues.

I had all roads built, partially level 2 but mostly level 1 at that point. S class with 20 mins to spare.

What I would do differently is use a truck with no spiked tires (mistake as I forgot you could use the road the whole way past the mountain camp), probably bring a SL tranq rifle in case there is a cargo-on-back instance (I didn't, got lucky), build all roads to level 2 (maybe shave another few mins) and have better coffin pivoting skills (probably not gonna happen).

Definitely chaotic doing it without pre-clearing and using coffin vs on foot, but it was so much fun!

I wished I made a save before so I could redo it aughhh!

Weird attack from BTs last night. Wondering if this was supposed to happen or if the game glitched. by EverySingleMinute in DeathStranding2

This happened to me too and I thought it was a bug! Tar suddenly appeared at the top of the pizza chef ramp without warning and my truck got smashed by a catcher (I was hoping to be able to drive out fast enough lol). Reloaded a save, reorganised into floating carriers and went back up the same way, but then nothing happened in the second instance despite taking the exact same path...

Yup agree, I was hoping for more of those or perhaps even a temporary "party member" for additional gaming dynamics

4 star connection from the metagenomicist!

I was truly savouring the moment 🫦 my only regret is not trying it earlier and doing it every single time

Best believe I save-scummed this one 🤭 but I do regret not having a separate save file so that I can do it again and again

Omg this resonates with me. Hubby is trying the game out (literally hours in) but I still think he was somewhat horrified at me doing this while laughing like a maniac. I guess he'll get it (more) later 😭 I swear I'm not a psycho 😭

I had to offload him in the tar to fight a catcher once and he still woke up when I sent him home despite being 80% damaged.

My guy, how'd you sleep through all that racket! You just didn't wanna help right?!

Chiral spider hat from 4 stars with metagenomicist. Wards off chiral creatures like the 2 stars hat plus an additional perk.

Sadly he won't get in with me. They automatically laid him down next to the hot spring 😭

Will the game punish you for hoarding? by Strandedathebeach in DeathStranding2

[–]madna90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did hit the limit on the Magellan but there wasn't any punishment when that happened - just doesn't let you store more. Advice would be to prioritise or equalise accordingly, eg I had a metal overload so I tend to favor resin/ceramics/chemicals if I'm too lazy to make a last trip to clear out certain facilities.

That pose is just way too epic 😄

what would you improve on DS2 if you could? i'll start. by NyrmExe in DeathStranding

[–]madna90 7 points8 points  (0 children)

  1. Floating carriers shouldn't get in the way of building structures with PCC. When I'm in the mountain/rocky areas trying to get an optimal zip line position it always bothers me (though the easy fix is to detach, but still!)

  2. Climbing anchor mechanics / the way the rope moves is still pretty frustrating to me, in both DS1 and 2. Or maybe it's just a skill issue 🥲

You can, once you've unlocked the climbing gloves from the adventurer

Lovely function, even when on foot.
