Quick Links
The Inventor is perhaps the most secluded prepper inDeath Stranding 2, with a base found in Australia with seemingly no way to reach it, unless players know exactly how to get there. Reaching the Inventor and delivering cargo to him might take some commitment, but the rewards found might beworth the asking price.
For players who want to get to the Inventor in Death Stranding 2 and see what rewards he has in store for players who managed toget a 5-star connectionwith him, then they are in the right place before they embark on the journey for themselves.
How to Get to The Inventor in Death Stranding 2
The Inventor can be found to the north of Australia, and players will want topass the Mine North of F1 and follow the beachto find an island that is surrounded by an ocean of tar. Before players even attempt to reach the Inventor, it’s worth noting that they will need to pick up some cargo of his so that they know how to speak to the Inventor. The Inventor will speak to Sam and join the Chiral Network if players have his cargo, so wander the beach close to his home and pick up at least one piece of lost cargo.
Once players are ready, here’s thesafest way to get to the InventorinDeath Stranding 2: Follow the beach until you are directly opposite the island. From here,use the Odradek scanner with L1 to scan the tar.Scanning the tar will show a safe route that can be used to reach the Inventor, as you may step into the scanned yellow path, but not the red. If players step into the scanned red path, they will sink into the tar, which will result in Sam’s death and a loss of his cargo, so walk through the tar and keep scanning with L1 to find a safe route to the Inventor.
If players want an alternative route to the Inventor, then they can complete Order 13 torestore the Monorailand the Mine North of F1. This might be useful for some players, as not only does it enhance coverage of the Chiral Network to allow for some useful tools, but it also allows them to expand the Monorail which will go over the Inventor’s shelter, andplayers can drop off the Monorail at the right moment to land at the Inventor’s homewith their cargo, but they will still need to cross the tar safely to get back to the mainland anyway.
All of The Inventor’s Connection Rewards in Death Stranding 2
How to Speak and Raise Connection with The Inventor
Once players have made it to the Inventor, they can deliver a piece of lost cargo to connect him to the Chiral Network. Regardless of what cargo is delivered and what state it is in, players will instantly receive the first star, providing them with the Level 1 reward. The following rewards can be obtained by delivering more cargo to the Inventor, but like all facility connections, it’s best to deliver them one at a time, as that willyield slightly more likesin the long run. Here are the Inventor’s rewards, and if they’re worth it:
Level 1
Yes,the Otter Hoodallows players to swim more effectively and stops Sam from drowning when exhausted.
Level 2
Yes, the Stun Bomb can be thrown at enemies to provide an electric shock that will knock humans unconscious and temporarily deactivate vehicles. It cannot be used on BTs.
Level 3
Yes, the Remote Stun Bomb is the same as the Stun Bomb, but it can be used as a sticky grenade to stick to surfaces and allows players to detonate them remotely. This means players can set up traps against human enemies by placing Remote Stun Bombs at booby trapped cargo, on vehicles, and on defeated enemies so that their MULE allies get caught in the shock blast.
Level 4
Yes, this is thebest upgrade from the Inventorand is a must-have. The Bola Stun Gun will knock out enemies no matter where they have been hit, meaning players do not need to get headshots to take care of enemies. While ineffective against BTs, the Bola Stun Gun will become the best weapon inDeath Stranding 2against human enemies.
Level 5
Not really. The Custom Holograms are rather pointless as they can act as mascots on tools placed in the world for other players to see, and the Otter Hood Patch is just for Sam’s backpack, where more important accessories should be used. However, acquiring the 5th Level is great for completionists, so players might as well do it.
