The gameplay of Death Stranding is an apparently very simple amalgam: you have to survive the roughness and complete the delivery. In reality, anyone who has crossed the gates of Chapter 3 of the plot will have by now discovered the real vastness of the game world, confronting the dozens of Preppers who inhabit the post-apocalyptic world.
It is the Preppers who stratify the gameplay, rewarding Sam through very useful projects designed to expand the courier’s arsenal from time to time, making travel spicier and simpler at the same time. On this page we have collected all those rewards that they are not part of the plot. Some, such as the Three-Wheeled bike, the Assault Rifle or the Hovercarro, will in fact be unlocked by completing orders for Sam. All the others, however, are completely optional and exclusively linked to the level of bond (the stars) that unites Sam with the survivors.
