Nick Mosier<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Hideo Kojima is posting tips for <em><strong>Death Stranding<\/strong><\/em> on Twitter. With <em>Death Stranding: Director\u2019s Cut<\/em> coming to PlayStation 5 on September 24, the following information may also be useful for players planning on playing the game for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first tip can be used in the mountain region. Here you&#8217;ll be coming and going through areas where BTs are stranded numerous times. Kojima says, \u201cTry to walk on the footprints you\u2019ve made, and you\u2019ll see orange handprints where BTs have found you.\u201d If you avoid the orange handprints, you can easily avoid the BTs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">DS&#39;s hint and tip?<br><br>The part in the mountains where you have to go back and forth across the BT zone. Try to walk on the footprints you&#39;ve made, and you&#39;ll see orange handprints where the BTs have found you. You can easily avoid them by walking through them. Give it a try!\ud83d\udc4d\ud83d\udc7b\ud83d\udd90\ufe0f<\/p>&mdash; HIDEO_KOJIMA (@HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/HIDEO_KOJIMA_EN\/status\/1434861503274881024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The second tip is about the effect of the Weather Talisman. By completing certain requirements in the game, you will receive a backpack accessory called the Weather Talisman. When this talisman is equipped, the likelihood of rain falling is reduced. If you\u2019re trying to avoid running into any BT, try equipping the accessory to your backpack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some players were probably already aware of this, but judging by the responses to the tweet, a number of people seemed to be learning about it for the first time. This might be because accessories are acquired through deliveries outside of the main story and can have difficult requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3066\u308b\u3066\u308b\u574a\u4e3b\u3092\u3064\u3051\u3066\u3044\u308b\u3068\u96e8\u304c\u964d\u308a\u306b\u304f\u304f\u306a\u308a\u307e\u3059\u261d\ufe0f <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jjmoLtT80D\">https:\/\/t.co\/jjmoLtT80D<\/a><\/p>&mdash; \u5c0f\u5cf6\u79c0\u592b (@Kojima_Hideo) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kojima_Hideo\/status\/1434818571834593284?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 6, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\">\u201cWhen you equip the Weather Talisman, it becomes less likely to rain.\u201d<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Kojima also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Kojima_Hideo\/status\/1434879621514686469\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shared<\/a> some memories about the days of game guides and guide books. The chances for creators to share these kinds of tips with players through official guide books has gone away and we\u2019re now in the age of players sharing tips and strategies on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sparked by Kojima\u2019s posts, <em>Death Stranding<\/em> fans also began sharing tips for the game on Twitter. Twitter user Miaha is <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/il_Miach\/status\/1434874084202987531\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">posting<\/a> a number of helpful tip videos. For example, did you know that if Sam is holding his breath, the cryptobiotes won\u2019t run away? Cryptobiotes are life forms similar to tardigrades that restore a small amount of blood when consumed. Normally, if you\u2019ve caught a few it\u2019s difficult to get more, but if you hold your breath when approaching them, you can gather a lot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a surprising way to avoid MULE scanners. The normal method to avoid them is to respond with your own scanning pulse to the timing of the incoming scanning pulse, which negates it. However, if you jump right when the scan reaches you, you\u2019ll avoid it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twitter Suginoki also <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/suginoki7777777\/status\/1209078730867363845\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">shared<\/a> some interesting information. Within the game there are various types of BT, including BT that look like babies. If you shoot a baby BT with the Bola Gun, it will grow into an adult BT. It might not be the most helpful information for completing the game, but it\u2019s something neat to try.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of players are probably already aware of this, but there\u2019s a double jump in <em>Death Stranding<\/em>. If you push the jump button while in mid-air, Sam will perform another jump. It can\u2019 be performed if you\u2019re carrying too much weight, but it seems to have a lot of utility for getting over obstacles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/twitter.com\/ISAmu_88\/status\/1208513636894826497\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\">\u201cThis is probably where a lot of people noticed there\u2019s a double jump.\u201d<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>There may be players that don\u2019t know Sam will die if he sleeps on a snowy mountain. You can sit down and rest just about anywhere on the map. However, if you rest and fall asleep in the extreme cold, the screen will go black and Sam will freeze to death. Those snow-covered mountains aren\u2019t to be taken lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another helpful little tip is that you can ride on ladders with a motorcycle. Ladders are a handy item that can be placed anywhere on the map for Sam to climb up and down. If you can carefully get the motorcycle\u2019s (Reverse Trike) back wheel onto the ladder, you can ride on it like a road. This little trick should make the Reverse Trike even more useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"ja\" dir=\"ltr\">\u3053\u306e\u6280\u304c\u3042\u308c\u3070\u541b\u3082\u5c71\u5cb3\u30d0\u30a4\u30ab\u30fc\uff01<br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/%E3%83%87%E3%82%B9%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88Tips?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#\u30c7\u30b9\u30b9\u30c8Tips<\/a><br> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/DeathStranding?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#DeathStranding<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/mgxZSJZd7n\">https:\/\/t.co\/mgxZSJZd7n<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/UgRWc1hxka\">pic.twitter.com\/UgRWc1hxka<\/a><\/p>&mdash; TanSan (@TanSan_STRAND) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TanSan_STRAND\/status\/1200975782492815365?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 1, 2019<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><font size=\"2\">\u201cWith this trick, you too can be a mountain biker!\u201d<\/font><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Players on Twitter are using the hashtag \u201c#\u30c7\u30b9\u30b9\u30c8Tips\u201d to share their <em>Death Stranding <\/em>tips and tricks with each other.
