changedHOW DO YOU HELP OTHERS IN DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT? WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST NEW PORTERS DO TO HELP OTHERS?I like to place generators in areas that you would likely lose power in on first playthroughs. I contribute materials to roads and structures, leave some in share lockers. I also have my own zipline network that I think helps people, as others have helped me. Oh and ALWAYS like as many things as I can! +20 ❤️ LIKE! - Sea_Strain_6881

changedHOW DO YOU HELP OTHERS IN DEATH STRANDING DIRECTOR'S CUT? WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST NEW PORTERS DO TO HELP OTHERS?Liking the other person's stuff is the best thing you can do. You have a porter grade that 1/5th of is your social strand percentage. It boosts your network availability to other porters and affects your total likes. So like other proter stuff gets you likes in return. For building, bridges are probably the best early game. Put them in the right spot. - AngryRobot42

WHAT DO YOU SUGGEST NEW PORTERS DO TO HELP OTHERS?If I have extra of any of the special equipment, too many chiral ladders, custom hemetics, hell even some lightweight ceramics if my playthrough is done the roads. Gets set up in post boxes near edges of the chiral network, in hopes that someone heading off the edge in their playthrough sees it and has a last minute injection of supplies, or place to set their stuff. - axiomaticAnarchy

Pick up any porter’s lost cargo and make the delivery if it’s on your route! - ethanw04

I like to clear areas and donate the resources to roads. Make sure there are plenty of battery charges and what not. Maybe even stock up a share locker. Point of the game is to take your time and enjoy it and that’s what I ultimately try and do. - Sparrow1989

Not only do I love building roads or ziplines to help myself during my own play through, I love knowing it will go towards helping others. - AntiqueTraffic

Play smart, help others out with extra materials/weapons etc. people think ropes are useless, they aren’t! - xKCBx Phoenix

Leave postboxes containing blood bags and guns beside every accessible entry and exit of a BT area. - Basement

Consider whether resources are placed well by other porters. If so, improve, or build better placed resources. No spamming, think smart. - H 3 R 0 I C

Like people stuff that's in good spots. And help keep the roads maintained. - Ghostbuster_11Nein
