How to organize your cargo backpack – Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

by

In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, expect a significant portion of your tasks to involve transporting cargo. You’ll encounter various types of containers that you’ll need to haul, and at times, you might find yourself carrying multiple containers simultaneously. If you’d like to streamline your work, here’s a simple way to keep things organized:

1. Sort items by type or destination: Group similar cargo together to easily identify them when needed. This can be especially helpful when you’re dealing with a large number of items.

2. Prioritize heavy loads: Place the heaviest containers at the bottom of your stack, ensuring that they are more stable and easier to move.

3. Keep frequently used items accessible: Place items you often use towards the front or top of your stack for quick access.

4. Use available storage solutions: Make use of any storage units, compartments, or containers within the game environment to store excess cargo when not in use.

5. Stay aware of your load balance: Keep an eye on the distribution of weight across your back to avoid unnecessary strain and ensure stable movement.

How to organize your cargo backpack in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

As you gather items to transport in Death Stranding 2, they pile up rather quickly. This includes weapons, ammunition, grenades, mission-essential cargo, and random finds along the way. If left unorganized, it can lead to potential problems.

Once you’ve prepared for your mission, pause momentarily on the D-pad to access the Cargo Management screen. Among its numerous functions, pay attention to the ‘Auto Arrange Cargo’ option. Activating this feature will organize your goods intelligently, adhering to specific guidelines.

  • Delicate and heavy cargo will go at the bottom of your backpack, meaning it is less likely to fall, tumble, and bounce.
  • Four pieces of appropriately sized cargo will be placed at the shoulders and legs of your suit, as long as your suit supports that. This is great, as it stops things from stacking up on your back and allows you to keep better balance.
  • Any cargo that has an appropriate pouch or holder will end up there, if there is room. Once again, this saves huge volumes of space. Place some Blood Grenades in your back, then auto-organize and watch them disappear. 
  • The system endeavours to make your backpack as compact as possible, with a good centre of gravity. This can be tough if you are heavily loaded with lots of small items, no matter what you do. 

You have several alternative choices at your disposal, including discarding all minerals or all cargo. These selections prove useful when encountering adversaries since you can stash your cargo before engaging in combat, then return to it later. Do make sure to keep track of its location.

A handy hint for the final time: Make sure to check out your tool collection! By clicking the right direction on the D-pad, you can access any tool of your choice. It will instantly be swapped into your tool belt, so you can easily grab it again just by tapping the right direction on the D-pad instead of holding it down. For safety measures, it’s often best to keep a weapon at hand in case something unexpected pops up.
