In Death Stranding 2, Beached Things (BTs) present formidable challenges within the game’s hostile ecosystem. These spectral entities resist conventional attacks and remain invisible to most characters, posing lethal risks during encounters. Mastering strategies to evade or eliminate BTs becomes crucial for survival in this atmospheric world.

Strategies for Handling BTs in Death Stranding 2

Survivors must first identify BT presence through environmental cues and specialized gear. The protagonist Sam utilizes a Bridge Baby (BB) and innate DOOMS ability to detect these entities. Warning signs include a crimson-tinged sky and eerie ambient sounds, triggering the Odradek scanner to pinpoint BT locations through directional indicators.

Tactical Approaches for BT Confrontations

Evasion tactics emphasize stealth and environmental awareness. Crouch-move quietly while monitoring the Odradek’s signals, suppressing breath when near entities to avoid detection. If discovered, navigate through tar-like terrain using balance controls (L2/R2) while shaking off pursuers (Square button). While avoidance minimizes risk, inevitable confrontations demand specialized anti-BT weaponry.

Combat-oriented strategies employ rare armaments like Hematic Grenades. Target weak points marked by crimson auras for effective strikes. Progressive weapon unlocks enhance combat efficiency against these spectral foes. Strategic positioning remains vital when deploying limited anti-BT resources during tense engagements.
