Death Stranding 2 players are uncovering an intriguing discovery: delivering parcels one-by-one, rather than in bulk, proves to be the most beneficial strategy, despite its tedious nature.
The highly anticipated Death Stranding 2 has hit the shelves, receiving glowing reviews from fans and boasting an impressive Metacritic score that outshines its predecessor. Enthusiasts of Hideo Kojima’s new masterpiece are delving deep to uncover every secret and optimize their journey. Surprisingly, the key to success is adopting the most inefficient parcel delivery method.
In this game, you play the role of a dedicated courier, striving to increase your star rating with various outposts by delivering items. Naturally, many players opt to combine deliveries in an attempt to enhance their relationships. However, this proves to be a misstep.
On Reddit, a player shared a revelation: delivering parcels individually yields a higher star upgrade than bulk deliveries. By doing so, they advanced from two-and-a-half stars to nearly four with La Madre, a stark improvement compared to a mass delivery which barely increased their rating.
Interestingly, while maxing out relationships isn’t essential to complete the game, achieving a higher rating grants access to advanced technologies. So, for those eager to unlock more upgrades, consider adopting this seemingly inefficient yet rewarding approach. After all, would your rapport with the mail carrier improve if they left each letter individually?
