In the sequel to the critically acclaimed Death Stranding, titled Death Stranding: On the Beach, combat is taken to exhilarating new heights. With fresh gameplay mechanics, players have numerous strategies at their disposal when facing foes. While tranquilizing human adversaries is certainly a safer option early on, the real threats come from the BTs (Beached Things) you must confront throughout your journey. Ready to learn how to deal with these imposing entities? In this guide, I’ll walk you through effective methods to take down BTs, or alternatively, how to slip away from them to keep your adventure safe and sound.
As a passionate gamer and strategist, I’ve spent countless hours perfecting combat techniques in various games. This experience gives me valuable insights to help you navigate through Death Stranding 2 effectively.
1. How to Kill BTs in Death Stranding 2
One of the highlights of Death Stranding 2 is the variety of weaponry at your disposal. In the early game, I recommend steering clear of fights. But if you find yourself in the thick of it, the Blood Grenades are your best ally. These unique grenades unleash a damaging cloud of blood that affects BTs over time, making them a powerful weapon in your arsenal.
As you advance, consider utilizing the Grenade Launcher and Assault Rifles. However, the real game-changer comes in the form of the Quadruple Rocket Launcher—a definitive tool for taking down BTs of all sizes as you approach the game’s climax.
If you’re fortunate enough to acquire the Battle Guitar or the EX Catcher Grenade, your battles become even more manageable. The EX Catcher Grenade adds a unique twist—players can use it like a capture tool for weaker boss BTs, allowing you to summon them for epic showdowns against additional adversaries.
2. How to Escape from BTs in Death Stranding 2
While engaging in combat can be thrilling, sometimes the best choice is to evade BTs altogether. Here are some effective strategies to ensure a safer journey:
- Track your Odradek: Your Odradek scanner will alert you to nearby BTs with blinking signals. The closer you are to a BT, the more frantic the blinking becomes. Stabilizing this scanner will help you navigate away from potential threats.
- Crouch to avoid detection: Normal BTs are visually impaired, so crouching and minimizing your noise can help you sneak past. If you accidentally stumble into one, hold R1 to hold your breath momentarily, giving you a chance to quietly retreat.
- Use smoke grenades: Be wary of the Watchers, as they can spot you. Deploying smoke grenades creates a cover to slip away undetected.
