You can see the Odradek through cargo but even then it helps to switch shoulders so the Odradek is closer to the center of your screen. On console/controller click the right stick/zoom button.

The key thing with BTs is to take your time. They generally don't move unless alerted so stopping every so often to make them visible and planning a route to give them a wide berth is a safe strategy. Their hearing is also worse than you think - you don't really have to hold your breath unless one has already noticed you or you need to walk directly next to one. Another thing to bear in mind is that even while crouchwalking, how far you're tilting the stick will affect how much noise you're making. Moving more slowly can let you get right up to a BT without holding your breath at all.

I suppose I could use an auto clicker or something to click every millisecond to see what the technical limit is but I like just spamming naturally. Helps they picked great sound effects for everything. The sound design in this game is great in general. 1000 likes is the hard limit, it wont let you go past that

Having put in a few extra zip lines in the mountain area I was able to make two large deliveries to both the mountaineer and the roboticist without any driving or walking. Just zipped along through the blowing snow, flying above ghosts. I had to make the long uphill climb to get to the spiritualist but I put a zip line up there too when I was done and now I'm zipping all over. Surprised to see that not one of my zip lines has a like, considering that what I've done allows you to go from the distro to all the local preppers.

I bought this game on iOS and Mac and I am loving impressed at how well it ran on the shittiest base M1 MacBook Air. Or at least it did until I ran into several game breaking bugs every time I hit the incinerator for the first time. It’s a shame too because it was buttery smooth 60 FPS until everything ground to a halt. Good thing this game is so great in the first two hours that I was willing to buy it on PS5 and start from scratch. I swear I spent the last 2 hours crying - this was by far Kojima’s best work and the whole environment and setting, the graphics, and the acting just create a uniquely haunting, desolate, and yet emotional journey. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve loved playing through the Metal Gear series and there were some great moments, but I don’t think anything in prior games comes close to the emotional gut punch at the end of Sam realizing he’s the BB and Cliff is his father. It’s funny how effective the writing and acting is here because I had worked out that Sam was BB waaaaay earlier in the game but the moment still hits perfectly. And now I’m finally caught up on the Death Stranding 2 trailer and am super hyped for part 2. While I wait, it’s time to finish my interstate highway. During the main story I linked up Lake Knot to South Knot, now I’m about the connect the road that starts at the Distribution Center south of Lake Knot to Mountain Knot. The gameplay at its core is just so fun especially on PS5 - the haptic feedback and adaptive triggers make gunplay feel awesome and I love the weapons and tools that get unlocked in the late game. Combat felt very challenging in some spots but it never felt like it was out of my hands to survive enemy encounters. Unfortunately the BT encounters stopped being scary after the first one, and then you get more weapons and tools to punk them later in the game, but for me the best parts of this game are traversing the landscape. 1st AD fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Feb 29, 2024 |

Spending the last few days of play exploring, building and ziplining around with almost no ghost stuff has been nice. But it can't last. I also noticed that most of the paving machines in the region have almost no materials donated which is a bummer. EDIT: VVV Yes, it's connected. I do see notifications now and then about other people donating but it's a long way to go for most of them. Dick Trauma fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Mar 1, 2024 |

Is the autopaver's region connected to the chiral network? No? Then you'll be the main contributor for materials. (It might even be sole contributor, it's been a while and I didn't play the DC.)

I got a multi-stage set of missions and had to carry alot of stuff on foot but I figured I'd finally be running into ghosts again so I brought my blood grenades and for the sake of lightness the BT pistol. Things were going ok until I ran into unkillable orange BTs. I tried to creep up on one to see if I would get a prompt to cut their cord but wound up getting dragged into a tar pit instead. I managed to extricate myself and get past the area but it made me wonder what the right method is to kill those things. EDIT: At the top of the dicey slog through Ghost Country my battery was almost empty even though I carry an additional one on my pack, and the big container I'd been hauling was eaten up pretty badly from timefall so I built a charger and timefall shelter next to the prepper bunker to help out whichever poor sod has to make that trip after me.

Even once connected, I basically had to finish the mountain roads myself. There was one segment in the route through the mountains from Mountain Knot down to the earlier chunk of the map that was done, but almost everything curving around through the distribution center and down to Mountain Knot were barely touched. This was right after DC was in a Humble Choice, so when there should have been at least something of a surge of players, too. Something might be up with those roads and how the game handles them, or maybe a lot of people just drop off before really setting out to Mountain Knot.

Cord cutting is the only way to get rid of those. They’re generally no harder to kill using that method, but you just need to make sure you’re not spotted. Is it ever possible to clear an area of BT’s permanently, or do they respawn? I took out that whole crater where the collectors old shelter used to be (with the ruined mall), but I still get BT warnings and timefall there

If you get grabbed and the big boss BT shows up, you can kill it or escape from it and that will temporarily clear the area of BTs (even if it's normally a perma-BT area). You can never permanently clear BTs from an area though, they'll always come back eventually.

There is a lot of things unknown about how the interaction with the servers works, but I find it hard to believe it would look hard at current players. I think it looks at what has been achieved before and gradually distributes a lot of things. I imagine even the people who played the game at launch or had review copies were able to rely on a mountain of data from the QA testers. It happens gradually and is partly based on how far you are along in the game and how long you have been playing (and if an area is connected to the chiral network of course). Getting the notification that a different player delivered a package you dropped? Getting a lot of likes when you've booted up the game again? Certain things are happening in the moment ...but that safehouse you just walked by? Could have been put there long ago, it doesn't matter that it just appeared for you in a pristine state (I think the servers don't save the current state of structures).

Eventually you will get so used to getting past huge groups of BTs that they’re never really a threat. Once you start to be able to read the Odradek’s signals and all the other indicators of activity you can speed past just about anything in the wider open world.

That doesn't change the possibility that a lot of people just drop off before Mountain Knot, providing not as much work on the roads for the network to grab. I finished the game, but didn't bother with the new road between Mountain Knot and down the mountain to Southern Distro/Weather Station/etc. area because I was working on a zipline network instead, and nothing but that one segment ever filled in for me. Honestly, very little spawned in for me in the mountains in general.

About 50% of the loop that goes from the Craftsman around to Mountain Knot and the distribution center south of Lake Knot is built in my game instance, and I only contributed to the portion from the Craftsman to the distribution center near Mountain Knot. So somebody contributed materials somewhere.

Yeah my feeling on how the online stuff works is that it pings the servers every so often (probably when you load a save, rest at a safehouse, and connect a new area to the network) and basically just caches everything it gets to populate into your world when the games deems it appropriate, alongside uploading whatever you've done to the server to be distributed to other players. I don't think it's like Dark Souls where it relies on players being active for stuff to show up in the world.

I will soon be delivering to South Knot City after dusting off a few more deliveries that tickle my fancy. I met the film director, the chiral artist and the junk dealer on the way back from the timefall farm so it was an eventful trip, lol! Personally, I find MULEs way more annoying than BTs. I keep expecting the stealth to work like it did in MGSV, which had a lot of crutches. Thus far, I've found this game to not be so forgiving. I've unlocked the ability to counter their scan, but I'm apparently really bad at using it because I can only get it to work about half the time due to me being slow.

You basically need to send the pulse the second you get pinged. It's pretty easy to time since you always get pinged after crossing their sensor net, but it takes practice. Once you get Bola Gun level 2 the MULEs become trivially easy to beat.

Nice, I'll look forward to that! I usually look out for the sensors, but when they send the sensor out while I'm hiding, that's when I'm usually screwed. Thankfully, there's not an infinite number of them if you get spotted!

I'm pretty much just loving around in the endgame completing all the central region roads and my number 1 way to clear MULE camps now is to just take a Bridges truck and boost right into MULE's. It instantly KO's them but doesn't kill them, so I pretty much just do that to the ones patrolling the edge of the encampment, and as reinforcements come I just run them over one by one.

Running MULEs over can kill them, but it's not likely - it happened to me once out of probably a hundred times, and I'm not sure if it was because of getting hit by the truck that killed them or if they hit something else when they went flying and that did it. Playing a higher difficulty might change the odds of killing them, but who knows.

You can also physically jump over the MULE scan to avoid it but that might be even tougher to time than the counter-scan.

Playing a higher difficulty might change the odds of killing them, but who knows. It happened to me with a guy that I had hit with the truck once before, after he got woken up by a buddy. So I think it does a bunch of health damage that can kill them if they're already injured.

If you do the Cyberpunk crossover missions eventually you get the ability to just shut down the mule pylons and walk past without triggering a scan which makes them pretty easy to deal with.

I'm just finishing off the first delivery to South Knot City. I saw the twist coming and was able to drop the actual delivery off at a player-made safehouse just south of the Engineer's place while dealing with the bomb. I was fully expecting a boss at the crater lake, but I was not expecting Kojima taking the opportunity to try and make us ashamed of our words and deeds again!

I unlocked ziplines and I think I more or less get them after some initial confusion. Looking forward to using more of those! On the other hand, I get the impression that I need to invest a lot more into building roads before tackling deliveries that are clearly designed for vehicles. The first time I drove a vehicle was when (Episode 3) I was trying to dispose of the nuclear bomb and it didn't take long for me to go crashing into a narrow chasm without any guidance, lol.
