Death Stranding 2 Reveals Most Popular Tools, Vehicles, Weapons, and More

Hideo Kojima has disclosed the top-liked elements of “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” gathered via player data from the Social Strand System. A month post the game’s launch, the esteemed game director and producer is basking in the triumph of his new work, unveiling player preferences for weapons, vehicles, tools, and other aspects.

The highly anticipated sequel to the critically acclaimed action-adventure game “Death Stranding,” which was nominated for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2019, was released exclusively for PlayStation 5 on June 26th. Known as “Death Stranding 2: On the Beach,” it has garnered significant recognition, boasting a perfect 100% rating from players on OpenCritic, and even surpassed “Clair Obscur: Expedition 33” as the highest-rated game on the PlayStation Store in early July.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to see Hideo Kojima sharing what players adore most about Death Stranding 2 on Twitter! It seems that when it comes to staying armed, an assault rifle is the preferred choice among many, with blood grenades and machine guns trailing closely behind. Mobility appears to be a key factor, as ladders have been the most frequently used tool type, followed by PCC portable construction devices and container repair spray in second and third place, respectively. In terms of transportation, it’s clear that the pickup off-roader reigns supreme, with the tri-cruiser in second place and on-foot travel taking third.

In Death Stranding 2, one distinctive aspect that sets it apart is its Australian theme, where players can capture and relocate various native animals to sanctuaries. The iconic kangaroo, Australia’s national symbol since 1908, has been the most popular animal in this category, with emus and wombats following closely behind. Zip-lines are the most frequently used structures, ranking first over generators and timefall shelters, while “SPEED UP” is the most commonly displayed message on signs, surpassing motivational phrases such as “YOU GOT THIS!” and “KEEP ON KEEPING ON.

In addition to revealing those statistics, both the director and producer have disclosed that an impressive 79% of players who reached the end continued playing further, indicating a strong replay worthiness for the game even post-credits. This is advantageous for fans as Kojima’s previous comments hinted at doubts about the completion of Death Stranding 2, and the increased interest in the post-game could alleviate the “overwhelming” sensation he mentioned when working to release the game. This motivation could inspire the team to pursue future projects with renewed vigor.
