“spit it out”, sorry, not the game.

And the thing that guy dropped is a repair spray, is this guy a deliverer too? And this is actually an army of deliverer?



Around the Network

more evidence about the enemies being deliverers, they got postbox.

in the postbox, we got the real big deal, the speed skeleton, which makes the big jump and help Sam catch up the vehicle later. It is deserved to mention that it seems like things in the postbox are shared by other players as we can see on the right down of the screen showing the avatar of another player. That might be how the asynchronous multiplayer works.



Here we have the bola gun, and look careful, it is a level 1 weapon, meaning there’s the potential for it to be upgraded, and considering this is the very early stage in the game, we are good to expect a scale of weapon at least the same as in MGSV.

In the melee part of the combat, it seems like we can select which thing to grab from enemies, in the presentation, Sam grabbed the case from enemy’s right hand and threw it to hit another.



Pressing R3 to activate the speed skeleton to speed the vehicle and do grand theft auto.

the way Sam rolling down the car is basically a copy from Venom Snake MGSV.



When Sam asked “any one?”, the “pillar” responded, and the “pillar” was probably set by other players, so when Sam is calling, he’s not calling NPC, he’s calling other players. And it turns out the “pillar” is actually a charging station.

Some one might not noticed, but here in the footage, we can see the ground where Sam was walking by grew some grass, just like the 2018 E3 trailer(go check it out again if you are interested).

some invisible thing caught Sam in BT area, it is one of the most confusing scene in the footage to me. Kojima mentioned something called “hunter” here, but I’m not sure if that is the name of the invisible

now we have the so-called boss fight here, and we can use throwables like blood bombs that we saw in the beginning of the mission, it is one of the anti-BT weapons.



During the combat, we can also turn to others for help to require others to throw supplies.

another weapon revealed, EX grenade NO.0(made of Sam’s condensed body fluid collected from shower)



And anti-BT handgun, which makes stronger attack to BT, but still it’s non-lethal.

And this is it, like Kojima said “zako desu”, this is no boss, just one of the weakest BT. The man, he played us like a damn fiddle again.



And the hot spring.

It’s not been a secret for a while that we can ride bike in Death Stranding, but the bike is kind of different to what you think, it has two tires in front and it looks like in order to make the bike turn, we are supposed to lean right or left instead of turning the bike handle.



Some one left a warning sign for other players to prevent riding bike through the way.

Those plants on the ground can be eaten.
