This also acts as a way for you to see everyone's Porter Grade progress (your level, in other words) in a leaderboard-style format, showing who's put the most time and effort into their delivery career. Visiting Bridge Links will present you with a list of players you've recently interacted with. Though the appearance of structures and other player-made objects is largely out of your hands, there is a way to skew who appears in your game based on the Strand Contract feature.Īfter Order 9 (delivering the Wind Farm's power supply unit) in Episode 2, alongside the ability to order Supply Requests from other players, you also add the Bridge Links option to your Cuff Links menu. Bridge Links and Strand Contracts in Death Stranding explained In our experience pre-release, some structures do filter through - giving you a little help when exploration gets tough) - but the bulk of them only appear as you make your reverse journey back through a newly connected area, almost acting like a reward for a job well done.
Not only do player structures disappear, but you cannot build any of your own, either. Though Death Stranding's online connectivity is reminiscent of asymmetric games such as Dark Souls, a key thing to note is player-built structures won't appear in areas until after you've connected to them the UCA's chiral network.Īs a result, when exploring new areas it's worth observing where chiral network coverage ends you'll be notified of this when you enter or leave the boundary via an on-screen message, and is also visible on screen as a blue and red outline. Though signs can regularly flood certain areas (which is a welcome heads up there's a point of interest - or challenging area - ahead) other things such as Postboxes and Bridges will be more irregular, to make exploration evenly challenged and the world feel less jarring.Īfter all, having two Watchtowers next to one another wouldn't make much sense! Though Death Stranding will pluck structures and dropped cargo from other players mostly at random - unless you make use of the Strand Contracts feature as described below - there is sometimes an emphasis on highly liked structures that most players will find useful.Īdditionally, it appears to place a limit on the type that appear at any one time. How does Death Stranding's multiplayer work? Co-operation Requests, available from Bridge Link grade 10, can be made to highlight a structure you've built to other players as a candidate for upgrades, giving them more Likes in return.Īs you can see, there's a few ways of interacting with other players - though there's a few caveats as to when and how they appear.Supply Requests can be made in the field from your Cuff Links (after completing Episode 2, Order 9, also known as the Wind Farm) if you are in need of specific consumables.You can also leave vehicles in Garages for others to use, too. There's the option to donate items in Post Boxes for other players to collect.You can drop off unfinished deliveries at UAC centres for other players to complete, giving you a few Likes in the process.Any structure or item placed by players can be Liked, and any of yours can be Liked in return, leveling your Porter Grade and giving you a way to say thanks.
