In Death Stranding 2, safeguarding deliveries remains a top priority for successful missions. Hazardous environments threaten both the courier and their fragile packages, demanding constant attention to prevent loss. Even minor miscalculations during transport could compromise carefully packed items.
While absolute protection isn’t achievable, players can employ strategic methods to stabilize shipments and facilitate smoother journeys. Proper cargo management significantly reduces operational challenges and potential setbacks.
Cargo Stabilization Techniques

Managing large inventories inevitably affects mobility, increasing the risk of accidents that scatter supplies. Sudden falls or environmental hazards like strong currents can disrupt missions, forcing time-consuming retrieval efforts. Strategic planning becomes essential when traversing challenging landscapes.
The Strand mechanism offers a temporary solution for cargo stabilization. By binding shipments tightly, travelers gain improved control during navigation, though frequent mishaps degrade binding effectiveness over time.
Implementing Stabilization Technology




Activate the stabilization system by pressing Triangle to unload gear, then navigate the D-pad menu to select the Strand device. Target placed cargo for activation, or adapt the system for vehicle-mounted transport when available. Structural aids like bridges prove invaluable when navigating watercourses, providing safer alternatives to direct river crossings.
Resourceful infrastructure development complements physical restraint methods, creating layered protection for transported goods. These combined approaches minimize exposure to environmental risks while maintaining mission momentum.
