Wondering how many hours you’ll have to spend in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach? The long-awaited sequel on the videogame platform of Hideo Kojima features the unique open-world concept. Sam Porter Bridges sets off on a different mission in the game. He aims at connecting distant regions of Mexico and Australia to the UCA. What to Expect Whether You’re Going to Mainline the Story or Do Everything
Main Campaign Duration
Most gamers will spend around 33 hours on the main story of Death Stranding 2. You will be working to reconnect the Chiral Network of both countries along with some side objectives.
If you prefer to take your time and explore the game fully, the time you spend will accordingly increase. If players do optional things in the game, it is nearly a 50 hour experience.
Completionists ready to see it all can expect to spend over 100+ hours playing. This will involve repairs – all of them – hidden settlements, maximising connection levels with all communities and participating in shared player experience.
Campaign Structure and Mission Overview
The primary campaign consists of 17 episodes with varying lengths in accordance to the content. Certain episodes are comprehensive and can be explored widely. Whereas others are a little compact.
Death Stranding 2’s campaign is expected to feature order types such as delivering essential equipment, recovering stolen goods, eliminating enemies, connecting locations to the network, and taking on special transport missions in tough circumstances. They include not only simple delivery missions but also complex combat and environmental missions.
Beyond the Main Story
Building Connections with Settlements.
The game explores the open world by travelling to different places to deliver goods. The first time you deliver cargo to a location, a Chiral Network connection is established at that location.
As you gain standing with different communities, settlement leaders will award you with new weapons, tools and upgrades, among other things. You’ll also earn skill points for character progression. Various bases have distinct missions that represent your relationship with that settlement.
Community Engagement
Death Stranding 2 is a single-player game at its core. However, once you go online, you will discover structures and signs left by other players. These can ease your journey. By providing supplies or assistance with repair requests, members can earn “likes” from the community.
The SSS Network is essentially a social media platform for the game that allows you to connect with other players to share Strands more efficiently. As you participate with others in rebuilding the world after the apocalypse, your total playtime would be greatly impacted.
No matter if you blitz through the main story or lose yourself in the story about Sam and the lands he re-connects, Death Stranding 2: On The Beach is long enough to either engage or bore.
