- Reverse Trike Off-Road Edition: Unlocks after completing the 3rd main story delivery to Mountain Knot City, handles 70% better on rocky terrain than the base model and has 50% more battery life for long trips
- Customizable BB Pod Decals: Earned after every 10 main story deliveries, you can pick from over 30 designs including fan-favorite nods to the first Death Stranding and limited collaboration designs
- All-Terrain Exoskeleton V2: Unlocks at the start of Chapter 6, reduces stamina loss from climbing by 60% and lets you carry 20kg more cargo without slowing down or losing balance
- Private Room Customization Set: Unlocked after beating the main story, lets you change the decor, music, and even add collectible figures of your favorite characters to your rest space
Many players overlook the private room customization set, but it’s one of the most fun rewards in the game. You can add tiny figures of your favorite characters, change the ambient music, and even hang up photos of your best delivery runs to display when you stop to rest. If you miss a story reward on your first playthrough, you can go back and replay any main mission to claim it after you beat the game, so don’t stress if you forget to pick something up mid-chapter. You’ll also unlock new music tracks for your backpack radio as you progress through the story, with over 40 new tracks added for players who reach the end of the main campaign.
Side Mission & Hidden Collectible Rewards
This is where the vast majority of the game’s rarest rewards live, and it’s also where most players miss out on unlocks. Side missions range from small lost cargo deliveries to long multi-part requests from NPCs, and each one comes with its own unique payout. You can also earn rare rewards for finding hidden chiral artifacts scattered across the map, or for reaching the maximum connection level with each of the game’s shelter NPCs. Most of the rarer cosmetics on the Death Stranding 2 rewards list come from these side missions, so it’s worth taking a break from the main story every now and then to complete them. Hidden collectible rewards are account-bound, so you can access them on all your save files once unlocked. For example, if you unlock the golden backpack skin on your first playthrough, you can equip it on any new save you start later without having to earn it again. Some of the most sought-after side rewards include the BT mask cosmetic, a 30% extra cargo capacity upgrade, and a special camera filter that lets you take photos without timefall or BT interference. You’ll want to check in with each shelter’s NPC regularly to see if they have new side requests, as many of the best rewards are locked behind these smaller missions. You can spot unclaimed side missions by the small yellow exclamation mark next to a shelter’s name on your map, so keep an eye out for those as you plan your delivery routes.
Multiplayer Co-Op Exclusive Rewards
Death Stranding 2’s multiplayer is entirely co-op focused, so you don’t have to worry about other players ruining your delivery runs to earn these rewards. All you have to do is contribute to the shared world, whether that’s building a bridge that other players can use, repairing a broken structure left by another porter, or returning lost cargo that another player dropped. Every action you take to help other players earns you connection points, which you can trade in for exclusive rewards that you can’t get anywhere else in the game. If you’re looking to unlock every entry on the Death Stranding 2 rewards list, you’ll need to spend at least a few hours contributing to the shared multiplayer world to get the co-op exclusive items. You don't have to opt into PvP elements to earn multiplayer rewards, all co-op actions count towards unlocks. Some of the best multiplayer rewards include special skins for your shared structures that make them more durable against timefall and BT attacks, a special “Community Porter” title that shows up next to your name when other players see your structures, and a chiral printer upgrade that lets you build structures 50% faster than the base model. Even if you prefer playing solo, it’s worth enabling online features just to earn these rewards, as you can get most of them passively just by using other players’ structures and leaving likes on them. Repairing damaged player structures gives you double the connection points, so it’s always worth taking 30 seconds out of your route to fix a broken bridge or ladder you pass.
At the end of the day, half the fun of Death Stranding 2 is stumbling on unexpected rewards after a long, tough delivery run. But if you’re trying to 100% the game, or you just want to make sure you don’t miss a useful upgrade that will make your traversal easier, our Death Stranding 2 rewards list has you covered. We update it regularly as new permanent content drops, so you can check back anytime you’re stuck trying to find a specific unlock. Don’t rush through your runs just to collect every reward, though — some of my favorite memories from the game are the random detours I took that led me to a hidden reward I didn’t even know existed.
