EASY GUIDE: How to 5 stars fast in Death Stranding 2

In this video I'll give you a very easy guide so you can rank up fast to 5 stars connection with any prepper in Death Stranding 2. I'm not going to gatekeep any secrets from my more than 130 hour run in Brutal mode difficulty, I'll show you the exact number of likes for each 5 star with each prepper, what are the best tools that you need, which orders you should prioritize, and some cool secrets to maximize your likes without sweating it too much. 5 STAR REWARDS https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/... How many likes are worth 5 stars? Well, that depends on each prepper, and it's really all over the place. Smaller-tier preppers usually reach 5 stars, with a range of 3,000 to 5,000; on the next tier, the vast majority dwell in the 6,000-7,000 range; However, the larger facilities and those located in mountainous areas average from 10,000 to 15,000 likes. And there are some notable exceptions that are completely locked behind sub-orders like the Adventurer, the Ghost Hunter, Mr. Impossible or the pizza chef. And that's where my first big advice comes: Unless you're a completionist maniac like myself, you don't need to reach 5 stars; 4 stars is fine, and it's easily achievable for most of the preppers. You're going to need a combination of quantity, size, and quality of deliveries for that prepper. What does this mean? You have 2 options: You should aim to deliver the biggest packages possible in the largest quantity you can handle with the best care, or you need to swarm your prepper with small and medium-sized packages. This can be achieved either by completing as many standard orders as you can in Legend of Legend of Legends, completing simple aid requests, or by dumping every piece of lost cargo you find during your travels. When you select a standard order, pay close attention to the amount of cargo for each order in the order list. Focus on orders where you see a big number. The bigger the number, the more volume or quantity of packages to deliver, and these will give you the juiciest rewards. If you want to deliver smaller orders, I would suggest you just accept them and keep track of them in the back of your mind and have the cargo stored either on the back of your truck or in any private locker of any strategic location like a distro center. That way, you won't be risking cargo and losing space for important packages, and no matter how far you get away from your order's cargo, the package will still be available whenever you decide to come back for it. Private lockers are a game-saving feature since DS1 and I've relied on them countless times, so don't ignore them! And that ties perfectly with the lost cargo part of our 5-star strategy. I cannot say how many times I maxed out a prepper by only delivering lost cargo. It is wild. Especially since it's easier to calculate the amount of likes with lost cargo by doing a simple scan and taking a look at the number shown by the package. The bigger the number, the more valuable the package is. Pick up a bunch of those and store them in that private locker if you're running out of space (it happens, trust me) and deliver them once you have enough to rank up with a prepper. Usually, a good session of lost cargo dumping will sit around 10-15 packages, but that depends on what you have currently on your hands. Remember, we're trying to save you time and frustration, so, make the most out of each prepper visit. Last but not least, let's talk about the most necessary tools to even attempt reaching 5 stars, and surprisingly, they are all unlocked pretty quickly. The star of the show is obviously the Pick off Roader, the floating carrier lv 1 and lv 2, and finally, the sticky gun for the pick off roader. The final advice and possibly the biggest bonus tip I can give you to rank up fast is not to deliver everything at once. That way (if you have enough likes stacked), you can rank up 2 levels successively with 1 job split in 2. And that's the 5-star guide in Death Standing 2.
