Heads up, Porters! If you’re diving deep into Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, you know the grind is real. Rebuilding the world is a monumental task, but what if there was a way to speed things up? Well, you’re in luck. We’re here to break down the Death Stranding 2 DHV Magellan Trick, a clever method to get those roads and monorails up and running in record time.
Co-op building is the heart and soul of the experience, but let’s be honest—hunting down Chiral Crystals, Metals, and Ceramics can be a massive time sink. While raiding MULE camps helps, it’s never quite enough for those big infrastructure projects. This is where a little bit of logistical ingenuity comes into play.
What is the Death Stranding 2 DHV Magellan Trick?
So, what’s the secret sauce? The Death Stranding 2 DHV Magellan Trick revolves around using the fast travel system you unlock partway through the story. Once you complete Order 12, you’ll gain access to the DHV Magellan, letting you zip between safe locations connected to the Chiral Network.
The key here is Mexico. As you’ve probably noticed, cities and refuges you’ve connected let you claim as many materials as you want. Since you spend most of your time in Australia and are unlikely to return to Mexico post-game, you can essentially “borrow” its resources for your Australian rebuilding efforts. You can load up the DHV Magellan with materials from Mexico and transport them to Australia, giving you a huge head start without depleting the resources you need for crafting your own gear.
How to Use This Game-Changing Trick
Ready to give it a shot? The process is surprisingly simple. Here’s a step-by-step guide to executing the Death Stranding 2 DHV Magellan Trick:
- Travel to any city or shelter you’ve connected in Mexico.
- Go to the main station and open the “Manufacturing and Management” menu.
- Select the “Claim Materials” option.
- Grab all the materials you can and load them onto a floating carrier or a nearby truck.
- Head back to the DHV Magellan and transfer the materials into its dedicated storage.
- Fast travel to the closest safe house near the road or monorail you want to build.
- Pick up your imported materials and donate them to the infrastructure terminal.
While this trick definitely streamlines one of the game’s more tedious aspects, it’s worth noting it might feel a little like cheesing the system. It won’t give you enough materials to restore all of Australia’s infrastructure, but it provides a massive boost and makes the remaining resource grind far less daunting.
Bonus Guide: Unlocking the Monorail
Speaking of infrastructure, you can’t rebuild the monorail without unlocking it first. This essential transport system is your ticket to moving tons of cargo with ease.
The monorail system becomes available after you complete Mission 12, which involves investigating some unusual tar streams near Sector F1 and taking down a giant Mecha BT.
How to Restart the Mine in Death Stranding 2
To get the system running, you first need to power up a nearby mine.
- Make sure you’re carrying the required Resins and Special Alloys, plus at least 2,000 Chiral Crystals.
- The mine is north of the F1 facility, across a couple of rivers. It’s a straightforward path with no enemies.
- Once there, donate the Resins and Special Alloys at the terminal.
- When the “Mine” option appears, donate your 2,000 Chiral Crystals to get a whopping 4,800 Special Alloys back.
Transporting Cargo and Vehicles
Now for the fun part! Using the monorail is a breeze:
- Select “Load Cargo” and put all your new Special Alloys into a container.
- Select “Load Vehicle” to place your Tri-Cruiser in another container.
- Choose “Get On/Off Monorail” and hit the “Dispatch” button.
You’ll ride along the side of the train as it travels back to the West Fort Knot facility. Just repeat these steps for any future bulk transports.
Expanding the Monorail System
As you progress through the main campaign, you’ll unlock more routes and stations. This happens by completing specific facility tasks, donating resources to repair hubs, or contributing your personal materials like Chiral Crystals, Resins, and Special Alloys to expand the network. Keep connecting!
