How to place a ladder – Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

by

In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, simple tools can prove invaluable. Although straightforward paths may lead you to your destination, they could hide perils like peculiar chiral spiders or armed men. A versatile ladder is a handy solution for navigating tricky routes safely and bypassing these hazards.

How to place a ladder – Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Placing ladders in the game is relatively easy; just follow the steps below:

  • Hold the right button on the D-Pad to bring up the radial menu screen
  • Then select the Tool section on the top left portion (the icon is a crossed hammer and wrench)
  • Use L1 and R1 to navigate through the tools you have on you and select the ladder. Needless to say, if you don’t have a ladder, you cannot place one
  • Hit X to equip it
  • When the ladder is in your hand, hold L2 to aim it, and a ghost version will appear, and you can then place both ends where you want them to be
  • The ladder itself is contextual, so it will just adapt to whatever is “under” it. If you want to put it against a wall, just walk toward the wall, and it will adjust.

When navigating challenging terrains like cliffs or rivers, it’s crucial to pay close attention to where your feet are stepping. This becomes especially important when you’re carrying a heavy backpack, as it can make balancing more difficult and potentially lead to slips or falls that could be harmful or costly. So, always remember to move cautiously and focus on maintaining a steady footing.

A crucial point to remember is that once you’ve used a ladder and taken it apart, it won’t reappear in your inventory – instead, it will disappear entirely. It’s wiser to leave the ladder at its location for future use, especially if you plan on returning the same way.
