Throughout Sam’s journey, players will come across multiple sections inDeath Stranding 2where they must pass through large areas affected by Timefall rain.Timefall is a harmful event that can damage cargo casesand even the contents inside, if exposed to it for too long. This guide provides information on how to avoid Timefall and ensure your cargo is protected, helping you earn a higher grade when delivering items inDeath Stranding 2: On the Shore.
How to Avoid Timefall in Death Stranding 2
Whenever you’re passing through an area affected by Timefall,you can choose to rush through it—but if the rain-covered zone is relatively large, it’s best to take caution and look for shelter.Safehouses and centres have Private Rooms that act as resting pointswhere you can wait out the rain and alsorepair any cargoaffected by it.
Similar to the first game, which featured aWeather Forecast Overlay,Death Stranding 2also allows players tosee the sections of the map affected by Timefall, so they can avoid those areas while traveling to a Distribution Centre with cargo.
Building Timefall Shelters in Death Stranding 2
Aftercompleting the third Order, you will unlock the PCC, which you can fabricate from that point onwards. It’s not until Order No. 5,“Defeat the BTs Near the Former Geophysics Research Lab and Deliver the Prototype MP Bullets,”that players will unlock the Timefall Shelter, which they must build using the PCC right before taking out all the BTs in the area.
The Timefall Shelters protect your gear from the rain, meaning you candrop your backpackand start clearing the area of BTs without worrying about cargo damage.
The Timefall Shelter inDeath Stranding 2also emits a BT-repellent mist, which causes BTs to avoid the structure entirely. This makes the shelters an ideal place to rest and wait out Timefall, provided there are no BTs nearby. Otherwise, you’ll need to clear out the BTs to make the rain stop.
