Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 Walkthrough Guide

Check out our Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 walkthrough guide for what you need to know on how to complete all main orders.

Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 “Pod” is where Sam gets to experience being a pizza delivery guy for a brief moment. But in order to do that, he must deliver beach yeast to the chef first so they can bake one for your delivery. After this, you’ll go back to doing the usual delivery jobs. There’s a lot to unpack in this episode, as there are a decent number of orders to complete.

Death Stranding 2 Episode 7: How To Complete

Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 starts off rather wholesomely. You need to deliver beach yeast to a chef to help him bake some pizza. This will lead to orders where you’ll be delivering pizzas to various locations. However, once that’s done, it gets more serious. Eventually, this episode will lead you to investigate a weapons factory, steal their data, and sabotage its fabricators.

[Chilled] Deliver the Beach Yeast to the Pizza Chef (Main Order 24)

Your first goal is to bring the Pizza Chef online. To do that, you need to deliver beach yeast from Hearman’s lab. Keep in mind that this is chilled cargo, so you need to keep it away from direct sunlight, or it will spoil.

You can choose to do the delivery during nighttime or under the rain. Alternatively, use a Pickup Off-Roader, as the storage compartment will protect it from direct sunlight. Driving a vehicle will also make the delivery much faster and save you a lot of time, considering that Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 is a bit long.

Once you’re ready, head out to the marked location and make your delivery to the Pizza Chef. Once the delivery is successful, the Pizza Chef will ask to be connected to your network due to how efficient you are at your job (assuming you didn’t damage the cargo too much). A little fun fact about this surprise appearance, the Pizza Chef is a face scan of Mamoru Oshii, known for directing the 1995 cyberpunk anime Ghost in the Shell.  

[Keep Flat/Express] Deliver a Piping Hot Pizza to the Data Scientist (Main Order 25)

Now that the Pizza Chef can start making some oven-baked delights, your next task is to deliver one to the Data Scientist. Once you pick up Order 25, you need to keep the cargo vertically flat. This means you can’t move over steep hills too much, or it will damage the pizza. You can use a pickup off-roader or a floating carrier to keep your cargo safe.

While heading to your delivery location, you will encounter hostile enemies. If you use a vehicle, you can simply keep driving past them. Once you reach the area, place your cargo and be greeted with a peculiar hologram. It’s another surprise appearance that’s not very surprising, as it had already been hinted at before the game’s release. The one who ordered the pizza is the popular internet celebrity and VTuber, Pekora, acting as the Data Scientist.

Meeting her will also reveal that the traps you’ve been dodging while traveling to this location were hers. After checking your order, she will be happy to connect to your Chiral Network. On top of that, you get a few more bonuses, like a silenced assault rifle and a new pair of boots for stealth.

Recover Old BB Pod From the Armed Survivalists’ Base (Main Order 26)

Before starting a new order, Rainy will ask you to complete a graphic about the life cycle of a platypus. The answer is that these animals start with a platypus egg. Afterward, she will thank you, and you can be on your way. Don’t forget to check out the new toys Pekora, the Data Scientist, gave you and see if you want to change your loadout.

Order 26 in Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 is where you need to recover an old BB Pod from the Armed Survivalists’ Base. This means there will be combat involved. Once you get a chance, hack the MULE postbox at the marked location to retrieve the cargo, the Old BB Pod, that you need to deliver. While you’re at it, see if you can find something useful in the postbox before heading to the Motherhood.

Once you are in the Motherhood location, you’ll need to enter a passcode on a locked door. Check your Corpus and find “The Motherhood” section, where you will see the password for the locked door, which is “0421.”

Once inside, process your delivery and complete Order 26. Once the delivery is complete, The Doctor will join your Chiral Network. However, the task is not done. The Doctor will ask you to talk to him privately. You’ll have to go through the cutscene to proceed with the next mission.

Deliver All Tar Dissolvent to the DHV Magellan (Main Order 27)

After your encounter with the Motherhood, you will have to retrieve another package and deliver it to the DHV Magellan for some ship maintenance. Order 27 is simply a long fetch quest. There’s not much happening other than driving back to the ship and delivering your cargo. Once it’s done, you will be able to get some rest and prepare for the next order.

Extract Data From the Weapons Fabricators and Destroy Them (Main Order 28)

Heading back to the conversation you had with the Motherhood, your next goal is to steal some data and sabotage a weapons factory. You will encounter combat in this mission, so make sure you are prepared for hostile encounters.

Head to the marked location while clearing out enemies along the way. You’ll eventually make your way to a server box. As part of Order 28 in Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 “Pod,” you will need to hack it first before destroying all the weapon fabricators. Once it’s done, you need to escape and head back to the DHV Magellan.

However, as you make your way out of the building, a cutscene will start where you will come face to face with Higgs. He will appear and flex his electric Battle Guitar,  which you can also unlock. Higgs will have a duel with Red Samurai, which is also the cue for you to make your escape, head back to the ship, and complete the order.

Recover the Coffin From the Armed Survivalists’ Base (Main Order 29)

Order 29 is about retrieving a peculiar coffin that’s suspiciously similar to the one Higgs used to make his escape during the previous order mission. This one is located in the Armed Survivalists’ Base, so you will most likely encounter hostile forces.

Head to the area, clear out some enemy forces, and retrieve the coffin. While you’re at it, loot the area for some useful resources. Once you have the requested cargo, deliver it to the marked location where The Mechanic resides. Once the delivery is complete, The Mechanic will join your Chiral Network, and the DHV Magellan will come to pick you up.

Deliver All Prototype Life Support Systems to F4 (Main Order 30)

Order 30 is the final main order you will complete for Death Stranding 2 Episode 7 “Pod.” The cargo contains specialized medical equipment that needs to be delivered to F4. It’s a long drive to the location, so make sure you have enough batteries for the trip. Additionally, you can unlock the Emergency Vehicle Charger in your APAS Enhancements in case you need to recharge your off-roader.

Once you finally reach the F4 Delivery Entrance, drop the cargo and have Leon Easton process it. Once that’s done, like every other main order, he will then join your Chiral Network. That should be the end of Episode 7.
