Entering the Motherhood base in the ruins of a hospital, you\u2019ll find something new in Death Stranding 2<\/em> \u2014 a keypad<\/strong> for a locked door. To get inside you\u2019ll need to input a code, and unless you search the game carefully, you may have no idea what that code is. There are clues in the in-game encyclopedia called the Corpus<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

This is all done during the Main Order \u201cRecover Old BB Pod From Armed Survivalist\u2019s Base<\/strong>\u201d \u2014 a mission that forces you to stealth into an enemy camp, then enter the Motherhood with your new pod. Solving the puzzle at the end might be the trickiest part for some players, so if you\u2019re stuck outside the Motherhood and need to know the code, here\u2019s what to do to solve it and get inside. <\/p>\n

Motherhood Base Code | Puzzle Solution<\/h2>\n

The door to the Motherhood base has a number-locked keypad<\/strong> \u2014 the code is cryptically mentioned in the mission briefing if you read it carefully. There are no clues outside the base itself in the physical world. Everything you need to know is in the Corpus<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Motherhood Locked Door Code<\/strong>: The locked code is the birthday<\/strong> you input at the start of the game<\/strong>. <\/li>\n
  • This is a 4-digit code<\/strong> \u2014 so use your birth month (1-12)<\/strong> and the last two digits of the year<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    How does the Motherhood know your birthday? The same way the video game does \u2014 it\u2019s a weird meta solution in a game full of them. You can look-up your birthday in the Corpus<\/strong> if you don\u2019t remember \u2014 and the clues area all there. <\/p>\n

    To find this clue for yourself, open the Corpus<\/strong> and search for the entry on the Motherhood<\/strong>. At the bottom of the entry, you\u2019ll find an explanation that says what the code is you need to input<\/strong> and that it\u2019s your birthday. <\/p>\n

    This isn\u2019t the only reason your birthday is important. If you play Death Stranding 2<\/em> on your birthday, you\u2019ll unlock a completely ridiculous cutscene where all the characters come out to congratulate you. Yes, you<\/strong> \u2014 the player! Even the bad guys show up to give you a big birthday pizza, which frankly looks disgusting with the chiral spider topping, but maybe that\u2019s the point.<\/p>\n

    \n

    Motherhood Rewards<\/h2>\n

    The Motherhood doesn\u2019t seem to offer many useful rewards, but at Level 3<\/strong> you\u2019ll get something that\u2019s very, very useful for later in the game.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Level 3: High-Capacity Blood Bags<\/strong> \u2013 A large blood bad with increased capacity that will restore Sam\u2019s blood levels when connected. Empty blood bags will automatically be replaced by reserve bags. Can be stored in a utility pouch. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      These larger blood bags will sustain Sam longer during big fights, and you\u2019ll be encountering far more dangerous enemies in the later stages of the game. Giant BTs are much more common at this point in the story, and powerful Ghost Mech enemies can make combat far more difficult. These blood bags are essential, especially on higher difficulty. They can be stored in your Utility Pouch just like regular Blood Bags. They\u2019re in larger containers but still fit in the Utility Pouch so always leave room for them there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
