Death Stranding 2 Player Loses Delivery Bonus in the Most Frustrating Way Possible

by

A player of “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach” had a heartbreaking experience to share with the game’s community when their bonus for delivery was instantly wiped out in a mere second. Launched at the end of June, “Death Stranding 2” is the follow-up to its 2019 precursor, sharing the same name. Hiroshi Yamauchi’s studio, Kojima Productions, brought back actors such as Norman Reedus, Lea Seydoux, and Troy Baker to reprise their roles from the original game – Sam Porter Bridges, Fragile, and Higgs respectively, along with newcomers like Elle Fanning, Shioli Kutsuna, Luca Marinelli, and many others.

Even though we’re still in the middle of the current year, there’s already a strong sense among gamers about which games could contend for Game of the Year 2025. Two standout titles are “Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2” and “Ghost of Yotei”, with the latter not set to release until October. However, a potential blocker for “Death Stranding 2″‘s triumph could be “Clair Obscur”. This game, specifically “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33”, has garnered significant acclaim since its launch. Players have been particularly impressed by the game’s combat, music, and Belle Epoque setting. With Sandfall Interactive’s success, “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” might emerge as this year’s unexpected challenger, potentially overshadowing Kojima’s achievement.

In the Reddit community dedicated to Death Stranding, PinkieBarto shared a brief video (12 seconds long) of a gameplay sequence where Sam was completing a delivery inside a shelter. The twist was that instead of getting the promised bonus, the player accidentally punched the package, causing it to flash and losing the reward in an instant. This unintended consequence of the punch button has reminded fans of the frustrating aspect of efficiency penalties for bulk deliveries in Death Stranding 2. Players swiftly started sharing their own mishaps online.

Death Stranding 2 Player Accidentally Punches Away Their Delivery Bonus

In Death Stranding 2, players found enjoyment in various delivery tools, but there was widespread agreement about the significance of the punch button. Some Reddit users even admitted to instinctively crouching when entering a shelter loaded with goods. One player expressed that a small part of them perishes each time they see cargo flashing, leading fans to offer advice on preventing sudden losses.

In Death Stranding 2, many gamers strive to keep their deliveries intact, with some aspiring for greatness beyond the call of duty to become gaming legends. To earn an S+ rating, players must follow various strategies during gameplay, particularly on Normal difficulty or higher. Only those committed can unlock the Legend of Legends title. However, even with extensive practice, a player’s run could still be ended by the unpredictability of human reaction times.
