Death Stranding 2 On the Beach DS2 How to Get Likes

Getting likes is a crucial mechanic in Death Stranding 2 On the Beach (DS2) since it is equivalent to experience points. Learn how to get likes and the benefits of earning them.

How to Get Likes







Complete Orders

Orders

By completing main, sub, and standard orders, you will earn Likes. To gain the maximum number of Likes for any delivery, always aim to transport your cargo in pristine condition.

Only the condition of the cargo contents is crucial to your evaluation; 100% condition guarantees an S rating, which in turn secures the highest possible Likes.

Fulfill Aid Requests

Aid Requests

Fulfilling Aid Requests is another direct way to earn Likes. These tasks, issued by facilities and other players, call for Sam's help and can vary widely—from retrieving specific items and defeating different types of enemies to building structures.

These requests do not use a ranking system. Instead, you will receive Likes simply for responding to and completing them.

Return Lost Cargo

Lost Cargo

When you come across Lost Cargo, be sure to pick them up. This simple act will earn you 1 Like.

To gain substantial Likes, complete their interrupted delivery by bringing them to their intended destination, especially when returned in pristine condition.

Complete VR Drills

VR Drill

When Sam is in a facility, he has access to VR Training in his Private Room. From there, you can do VR Drills that can help you familiarize with gameplay mechanics. Completing these Drills will reward you with Likes.

Like SSS Messages

SSS Like

From time to time, Sam will receive SSS (Social Strand System) messages from NPCs.

When you Like these messages, you will also receive Likes in return.

Help Other Players

Entrust Cargo

Helpful Actions that Get Likes

Entrust Cargo to Other Players Entrust lost cargo you find to other players for delivery.
Donate Cargo to Other Players Donate a range of items, like container sprays, blood bags, and materials, to other players.
Deliver Other Players' Lost Cargo You'll find lost cargo from other players scattered across the world, often due to environmental hazards or falls. Deliver this cargo to its destination to earn Likes.

What Do Likes Do?
