We need all hands on deck for this mission! Return to the Eastern Region, initiate the Social Strand System, and provide support for the rookie porters! If you are a rookie yourself, now is your chance to dive deeper into the world of DEATH STRANDING! The Eastern Region, where the story begins, has been readjusted to be a more playable environment than usual. Take pictures of the action as you play and post them on X. Winners will be selected from the “participants”, and we will give away 1/1 Scale BBPOD “LIKE” Ver as a prize! Please refer to the map below for more details on the designated areas of the mission.
*Eastern Region: This is the first region that you encounter at the beginning of the game.
*Social Strand System: Bridges and ladders placed by other players, cargos dropped by accident or left on purpose for you...these are things that will help the players get connected and aid their journey as they continue through the world of DEATH STRANDING. The Social Strand System is a game mechanic that is original to DEATH STRANDING, in which traces of your gameplay are visible to other players, allowing players to link together and appreciate each other's contributions and exchanges.
