Roads are the best way to get around in Death Stranding 2<\/em> \u2014 at least if you don\u2019t count using fast travel \u2014 and they make deliveries a total breeze. Requisition or fabricate a vehicle and paved roads provide all the battery power you\u2019ll need to quickly get from one settlement to another. Roads make travelling across hostile terrain so, so much easier and they\u2019re not nearly as difficult to construct as you might think. With a little online functionality and working with strangers online, you\u2019ll be able to rebuild a full network of roads<\/strong>, connecting each location to the next for a very smooth ride. <\/p>\n

The only downside of roads is that they cost a lot of materials<\/strong> to create. One road isn\u2019t enough, either. You\u2019ll need to give materials to multiple auto-pavers<\/strong> to fully generate a road between some far-off locations, and some locations will never be connected via roads, like prepper bunkers<\/strong>. Usually, only major locations will be connected via road. But that road will keep going and going, providing a safe method for quickly driving from one major location to another. <\/p>\n

\n

When Do Roads Unlock?<\/h2>\n

Roads unlock early in Chapter 3<\/strong> after connecting the Western Environmental Observatory<\/strong> to the Chiral Network. Sam will need to liberate this location as part of a Main Order at the Government\u2019s Base<\/strong> bunker, which is the first location you\u2019ll link to in the Australia<\/strong> region. <\/p>\n

    \n
  • The first roads you\u2019ll encounter link Western Environmental Observatory<\/strong> to Smoke Hill Mine<\/strong> (east) and West Fort Knot<\/strong> (north). <\/li>\n
  • Auto-Pavers<\/strong> will only appear in areas connected to the Chiral Network. They can only be used for making travel easier AFTER linking facilities. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    You\u2019ll find Auto-Pavers<\/strong> in the environment. Auto-Pavers<\/strong> are installations that always appear in the same place on the map and don\u2019t need to be placed by PCC. Instead, you\u2019ll find these emplacements and contribute materials<\/strong>. Once the Auto-Paver is fully stocked up on required materials, it will build a section of road<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • Roads<\/strong> are built by Auto-Pavers<\/strong> \u2014 special installations on the map. These machines require Metal, Ceramics and Chiral Crystals<\/strong> to create roads.\n
        \n
      • Roads<\/strong> are smooth surfaces with lights that provide power<\/strong> to vehicles that drive on them. Roads will also lift up off the ground to create highways to safely bypass dangerous obstacles. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        Roads are designed to make travel between major settlements easier, and all cities will be connected to a road network. <\/p>\n

        \n

        How To Build Roads <\/h2>\n

        To build a road, you\u2019ll need to find an Auto-Paver<\/strong>. These are installations that are placed along the (unbuilt) road\u2019s path. Usually there are two \/ three Auto-Pavers<\/strong> between each settlement. Interacting with an Auto-Paver will open a menu where materials can be donated to build the road. Depending on the length of the road, you\u2019ll need different numbers of materials. <\/p>\n

          \n
        • Auto-Pavers<\/strong> require Metal, Ceramic and Chiral Crystals<\/strong>.\n
            \n
          • You\u2019ll need about 200~<\/strong> Metal<\/strong>, 200~ Ceramic<\/strong>, and 300~ Chiral Crystals<\/strong> to construct early roads between Western Environmental Observatory<\/strong> and West Fort Knot<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Auto-Pavers are community projects<\/strong> so if you\u2019re playing online, other players will be able to contribute to your roads \u2014 and you\u2019ll be contributing to everyone else\u2019s roads. Roads have durability and need to be maintained, so use your map to check on how they\u2019re doing. They seem to only lose a fraction of durability over 24 hours, so it seems roads will last a very long time in-game. <\/p>\n

              \n
            • Even if you can\u2019t fully contribute<\/strong> to an Auto-Paver, providing ANY resources<\/strong> will give you a bonus to your Servicemanship<\/strong> and Bridge Link<\/strong> Porter scores.\n
                \n
              • These scores will also increase dramatically for rebuilding roads \u2014 making roads one of the simplest ways to rank up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
                \n
                \n

                How To Get Materials<\/h2>\n

                The biggest problem is finding all the materials<\/strong> you\u2019ll need. Materials are both hard-to-find and plentiful if you know where to look. Especially early in the game.<\/p>\n

                  \n
                • Metal<\/strong> and Ceramics<\/strong> are stockpiled at Brigand \/ Bandit bases. Hack M.U.L.E.<\/strong>s to find large quantities of these materials.\n
                    \n
                  • Search the large bandit camp northeast of Western Environmental Observatory<\/strong>. You\u2019ll always find lots of Metal and Ceramics \u2014 both in postboxes and just in the environment or carried by humans. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                    Chiral Crystals<\/strong> are harder to find. Large quantities drop from Giant BTs<\/strong>, but these aren\u2019t common. Defeated BTs also drop Chiral Crystals, but if you need a large supply, check near mines<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

                      \n
                    • Smoke Hill Mine<\/strong> has a quantity of Chiral Crystals. Use the scanner to spot them.<\/li>\n
                    • Mine North of F1<\/strong> has a huge quantity<\/strong> of Chiral Crystals. On first visit, we collected over 2,000+<\/strong> Chiral Crystals. Look in the tar ponds and use a Tri-Cycle to easily scoop up everything in the area. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

                      Chiral Crystals spawn in large clusters<\/strong> at tar pits. Don\u2019t be afraid to wade into the tar to collect all the crystals. The more you have stockpiled, the better. <\/p>\n

                      And that should get you started building roads in Death Stranding 2. Roads are one of the most useful installations any porter can construct in the wasteland, so always keep an eye out for more. <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
