Helpful structures, vehicles, equipment, and signs of other Sams may be used by players in their travels. Well-trodden paths will smooth over in time, allowing for faster travel down them. The paths walked by other players across the Social Strand System may be observed and traversed to reach destinations. Roads, bridges, and safe houses can be built across the Social Strand System, and players may contribute to the construction of such structures. The game's asynchronous multiplayer, named the Social Strand System, enables online players across the world to indirectly help one another.
Player-determined changes to the game world – particularly triggered voidouts – are persistent, remaining in the player's game world even after death. When the player dies, they aren't presented with a conventional "Game Over", but instead transported to an "upside-down realm" analogous to a "Continue?" prompt, where they can explore and recover lost items. While under threat from enemies, crouch walking may be used to move stealthily and hide in various cover. Players are able to incapacitate or restrain enemies, or attempt to circumvent them entirely, and may run, jump, crouch walk, or use vehicles to navigate the world. Though players have melee combat and firearms at their disposal to deal with enemies, lethal violence against living enemies is not encouraged. Locations in the world such as safe houses, generators, and hot springs function as means of replenishing varying attributes associated with maintaining Sam. Sam can rest in-place and recover lost health and stamina, or soothe his bridge baby and increase his relationship with the infant. Additionally, players must manage systems such as health, stamina, cargo integrity, equipment durability and power consumption, and their bridge baby's mental state. While in combat, cargo may be dropped to allow for easier movement and picked up again after enemies are dealt with. Heavy loads can be divided between Sam and up to two floating carriers. A powered exoskeleton can be worn to enable Sam to carry heavy loads of cargo more easily, or run much faster and jump significantly farther than normal. Traversal is a core element of the gameplay, demanding topographical route planning and environmental scanning, consideration of carried cargo, and active balancing of Sam as his center of gravity and stability shift. īefore embarking on deliveries, players can select an amount of cargo to carry, personal protective equipment, traversal equipment, and weapons. Predominantly taking place in the continental United States of the future, Death Stranding 's vast open world includes biomes such as lush grasslands and forests, cold tundra and snow-covered mountain ranges, and reddish dusty drylands, all of which can be fully explored. As the Porter, Sam, the player is tasked with making their way through the world carrying cargo, while overcoming various environmental obstacles with equipment, dealing with various enemies, and progressing through the main story or undertaking side missions. Gameplayĭeath Stranding takes place in an open world with a third-person and occasionally first-person perspective.
With spectral creatures plaguing the landscape, and the planet on the verge of a mass extinction, it's up to Sam to journey across the ravaged wasteland and save mankind from extinction. In the near future, mysterious explosions have rocked the planet, setting off a series of supernatural events known as the Death Stranding. Conversely, he is antagonized by Homo Demens figurehead Higgs ( Troy Baker) along the way, and finds himself engaged in something of an arch-rivalry with the enigmatic Cliff ( Mads Mikkelsen). On his journey west, Sam befriends a young woman named Fragile ( Léa Seydoux). These allies include Deadman (Guillermo Del Toro) Heartman ( Nicolas Winding Refn), an AED-reliant man whose heart stops every 21 minutes and Mama ( Margaret Qualley), a young woman tethered to her beached infant daughter and confined to a Bridges compound. He works for an organization named Bridges, headed by Die-Hardman ( Tommie Earl Jenkins), which also employs several allies he encounters throughout his journey. Death Stranding stars Sam ( Norman Reedus), a reputed deliveryman on an expedition across the continental United Cities, following in the footsteps of UCA president-to-be Amelie ( Emily O'Brien).
