Death Stranding is all about making connections and coming together in an isolated world, while interacting with real player’s structures and trails as you extend the Chiral Network. In the first game, it was really hard to link up with your mates in order to specifically see their structures out in the world, but they’ve simplified things a bit in Death Stranding 2. That said, it’s not a system that’s explained very well in-game, so here’s everything you need to know about Strand Contracts and connecting with friends in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach.
