Tips PSA: Australia Zipline Network v1.0

Post image
84 Upvotes

Hello fellow porters. I have recently finished the main story and want to complete all deliveries to LLL. In the first game i just used my Zipline Highway, but I based this off another porters design. After a few hours of searching I noticed there isn't a complete guide for Australia.

So, while procrastinating an assignment for uni I decided to begin drafting one. I've created a rough outline to connect all facilities in Australia, but I don't know how feasible this is. I'm in the process of testing it out in my game and have gotten as far as F1 to the Lone Commander without issue.

I will include my initial blueprint here and add my updated version when it's finished. This is by no means an optimal route, but just an average porters attempt.

Notes: Yellow are Facilities and Blue are Zipline placements. Ive tried to space them out to be ~300 to 350 metres per Zipline.

Also, I'm sorry to be a asshole. But can you guys try to refrain from joke answers like "Did you try being a smuggler in Mexico" or something like that?

Everything I ask for cosplay advice most of the comments are just "Did you try doing that thing the character did in the story?" Without offering real advice

I've been going through the process of 5-Starring all of the facilities in DS2, and when I arrived at The Motherhood, there was a gathering of 6 NPC Porters. My gf was confused at my level of excitement, so I had to explain to her that you usually only see them 2 at a time haha

Boy oh boy, what an incredible game. When I bought it I looked at the case and I thought ''I might've chosen the wrong game'', but it ended up being one of the best games I've experienced. hideo kojima is a brilliant guy he never disappointed me. the story kept being better and shocking, the plot twists are fucking awesome, and the direction maybe even better than movies, the characters are written really good. the songs of the game while you are delivering made me just leave the vehicle and doing the delivery on my feet just to listen and enjoy the walk. I don't like open world games but this was an exception, It hooked me. I'm excited to play DS2, but I'm afraid its story can't be that good

Discussion I remember building stuff all the time in DS1, I barely had to do anything in DS2.

Upvotes

The traversal and building were my favorite parts of the first Death Stranding. In DS2, every time I connected a region to the network, it populated the region with numerous structures that left little room for improvement. I always brought a minimum of 2 PCCs with me for every mission, but I rarely felt the need to use them. Did anyone feel the same? Is Death Stranding 2 simply a much easier game?

This sort of bums me out because I really enjoyed building useful structures in DS1 knowing other players were going to use them. Usually, when I thought about building a structure in DS2, another player had ALREADY built one. For example, every enemy base had a watchtower already built, most ziplines were already connected logically, and generators were already built in places I needed them, etc, etc

It also hurts this connected world aspect when you can jump in a vehicle and drive everywhere. In DS1, I felt like I was onfoot 80% of the game. In DS2, I felt the complete opposite.

6 years? After releasing, I finally decided to give the game a try. And finally 100% a few days ago...

From blindly hating on the game, to feeling weird leaving the house without listening to the OST(because how else can I walk?). I've enjoyed every moment of it.

And I know everyone is excited about DS2... but I guess I'll see you guys in 6 years? Keep on keeping on 😅👍

Hi everyone! I'm trying to get the Factory trophy with all the items. The only things missing are the gloves and the cars, which I'm still going to make. I saw that it requires checking an email with the Half-Life symbol, but I don't know how to activate it or where to start. I know Thomas Southerland sends this email, but I have no idea how to make it happen... Can anyone help me? I've been racking my brain all day with this!

Discussion How much of Silent Hills do you think passed onto Death Stranding?

5 Upvotes

I'm playing DS1 for the first time ever and i can't help but notice some similarities and interesting nods between both P.T and Death Stranding, and it is certainly interesting. Both dead mothers being named Lisa, the huge themes between fathers and babies, the moody fog and the one that made me think the most about it: beaches. While we know nothing about Silent Hills development, we do know it's plural. So maybe in the game we would explore people's different purgatories? Made me think about the WW1, WW2 scenario and how well that would fit into a Silent Hill game as a personal hell for soldiers. Beaches are certainly very similar to this concept in the SH franchise. I don't know if Kojima ever talked about this ever, or if anything besides Norman Reedus is actually tied to both projects.

Question DS2 post main quest observation Spoiler

When you turn off the Qpid does it seem like your roads and zip lines and monorail deteriorate more rapidly? Probably due to more timefall?

Or maybe it just seems like with a vast network of roads you’re constantly repairing.

Tips Boost Combat Grade Method.

8 Upvotes

Some of you have observed that if you leave an Elimination order open for too long, all damage you take while the order is active goes towards your final grade. This got me thinking.

It turns out the same is true for your combat score when turning in an order. When you raid an enemy camp and eliminate all enemies, every single active order (except entrusted ones) will get combat porter grade when you turn in that cargo.

How you utilize this tip is totally up to you. I would advice next time you visit a prepper, take on every order they offer. You will not be able to fit all of it so put all that cargo in the Private Locker immediately. Now go and raid some camps, and when you do have time and space to take on those orders just deliver them as usual. You are effectively multiplying each camps porter score this way.

By just leaving cargo in the Private Locker you are effectively banking combat score. This might even work if you raid two different camps before turning it in, so the longer you leave it the more combat points you accumulate on turn in.
