In Death Stranding 2, constructing various installations becomes essential. Unlike relying on existing bridges or chargers from other players, your Portable Construction Controller (PCC) offers building options starting at tier one. Advancing this tool to tier two requires specific steps.
Enhancing your PCC to Tier Two in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach

Progressing to Chapter 6’s Mission 21, titled ‘Rescuing the Dowser’s Companion from Hostile Factions,’ unlocks the PCC enhancement. Completing this objective grants access to upgraded construction options, including ziplines for efficient traversal.
Tier two unlocks the following constructs:
- Bridges – Begin construction using metals to finalize these pathways.
- Storage Units – Compact hubs for cargo management, recycling, and equipment crafting.
- Observation Towers – Elevate your view to survey terrain and locate threats.
- Weather Havens – Seek refuge from corrosive rains and spectral entities.
- Energy Pylons – Recharge vehicles with these vital power sources.
- Zipline Networks (Tier 2) – Swiftly navigate landscapes while transporting goods.
- Outposts – Construct personal shelters requiring rare materials, offering resting spots and maintenance services.
- Launch Pads – Propel yourself airborne without impact damage upon landing.
- Teleportation Beacons – Instant travel nodes (cargo cannot accompany).
- Thermal Springs Locators – Uncover geothermal pools in designated zones.
- Spectral Bridges – Energy spans for extreme environments.
- Cargo Projectors – Hurl packages across vast distances.
