All Environmental Hazards and How To Deal With Them in Death Stranding 2
As stated earlier, there are five different environmental hazards in Death Stranding 2. We’ve listed these hazards, their effects, and the ways to deal with them in the table below.
| Environmental Hazard | Effect | How To Deal With It |
| Timefall | Timefall is like a time-bending rainfall that rapidly deteriorates and ages your cargo. | Since Timefall ages everything it touches, you have to seek Timefall Shelters. If your cargo gets damaged on the way, use the Container Repair Spray to restore it. |
| Strong Winds | Strong Winds are a simple sandstorm that obscures your vision and throws you off balance. | Traveling through the storm is risky, so try to seek shelter at any place that’s safe from the winds. Traveling against the wind drains your stamina, so make sure to take breaks to restore it. |
| Earthquakes | The earth shakes and can throw you off balance easily. You also run the risk of being caught in landslides. | Much like in real life, head to a flat surface quickly and stand still to avoid falling. |
| Rising Waters | This is like a high tide where crossing the water becomes dangerous. | You can’t swim against or through a high tide, so waiting it out is your best bet. |
| Tar Pits and Tar Seas | These are puddles and pools of tar that swallow anything that falls into them. You’re prone to Voidout if you fall into these. | Simply avoid these areas. |
