In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, survival is about more than just connecting the world; it’s about defending yourself across brutal terrain, haunting BT zones, and chaotic enemy ambushes. Whether you’re fighting monsters, machines, or humans, the right weapon can mean the difference between a smooth delivery and a game over. Here’s a breakdown of the 10 best weapons you’ll want in your loadout.
1. Anti-BT Handgun
This blood-powered sidearm is your best friend in early BT encounters. It’s compact, quick to draw, and effective when things get too close for comfort. Don’t underestimate its power, especially when upgraded with hematic rounds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQmeU8NpS2c
2. Blood Grenade v2
More damage, tighter radius, and less waste. These grenades are crafted from Sam’s blood, and version 2 delivers serious punishment to BTs. If you hear the eerie whispers of a BT nearby—pull the pin and aim fast.
3. Bola Gun Mk III
It started as a non-lethal tool, but the third-gen Bola Gun is a beast. It now delivers an EMP shock to immobilize mechs, while still binding human enemies. In close-combat stealth missions, nothing works better.
4. Strand Blade
A spectral melee weapon made for silent takedowns. The Strand Blade lets you dispatch BTs with a single, stealthy slash—and it also works on humans if things get personal. It’s sleek, deadly, and practically silent.
5. LW Shotgun [Multi-Purpose] Lv2
Think of this as your panic button. Whether you’re storming a mule camp or a mech shows up uninvited, this shotgun is raw destruction. Paired with a grenade launcher, it wipes out anything stupid enough to get too close.
6. SL-LW Assault Rifle [Silenced] Lv2
Versatile, silent, and devastating—this is your go-to for everything. It’s got multi-mode fire, a suppressor, and even a grenade launcher. It handles both stealth kills and firefights with equal finesse.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SJZTtQN2Ng
7. Tranq Sniper Rifle [SL Model]
If you like playing the long game, this is your tool. Take out helmets, guards, or scouts from afar without triggering alarms. Perfect for clearing enemy camps quietly before slipping in to loot.
8. Ghost Bombs
A mysterious new addition in DS2, Ghost Bombs temporarily trap BTs in a voidspace. It’s not about damage—it’s about time. Buy yourself a few seconds, reposition, or make a clean getaway.
9. Sticky Gun v2
Originally used for cargo recovery, this upgraded version works wonders in combat. Yank guns out of enemy hands or even pull shields off mechs. Tactical, fun, and wildly underrated.
10. Blood Boomerang
It’s flashy, effective, and insanely satisfying. Infused with your own blood, this returning weapon does double duty: stealth kills for BTs and staggering impact against humans. Style points included.No single weapon will save you in Death Stranding 2. Always carry a mix based on the mission and enemy type. And keep your blood bags full—trust us, you’ll need them.
