Death Stranding 2 has finally dropped, and while normies are blissfully trekking through Mexican deserts delivering packages like it's a spa day, completionists are grinding their teeth into dust trying to five-star every outpost. Who knew maxing virtual goodwill could feel like herding radioactive cats? But hold up, champ—there’s a slick trick to turbocharge your rep gains that’ll save you hours of soul-crushing monotony.

Here’s the kicker: the game low-key sabotages bulk deliveries. Hand in 50 pieces of lost cargo at once? Tough luck, amigo—you’ll only bag one measly star regardless. It’s like the devs coded a hidden "ain’t gonna happen" clause to stop you from cheesing the system. Reddit legend Idontcare235 cracked this wide open by proving that individual hand-ins net way more rep. Dump a truckload? Barely 1.5 stars. Deliver those same items one-by-one? Ka-ching—you’ll score an extra full star! Talk about working smarter, not harder. 🤯

This ain’t even new tech—shockingly, OG Death Stranding pulled the same sneaky stunt. So if you spent 2023 wondering why Prepper #47 still hated your guts after 12 deliveries, now you know why. The fix? Simple: when a location’s star meter’s nearly full, switch to solo hand-ins. Pop that podcast back on, zen out, and tap "deliver" like it’s a caffeine button. Piece of cake!

🔥 People Also Ask

• "Does this work for standard deliveries too?"

Nah, chief—this hack’s exclusive to lost cargo. Regular packages play by different rules.

• "Why does Kojima hate efficiency?"

Probably to force you to hear NPC upgrade dialogue. Classic Kojima mind games. 😏

• "Can I skip Mexico grinding altogether?"

Don’t even try—you’ll miss gear blueprints! Max areas organically while progressing.

So next time you’re hauling cargo through acid rain, remember: slow and steady wins the rep race. Ditch the bulk dump, embrace the one-by-one life, and watch those stars skyrocket. Ready to five-star the apocalypse? Grab that controller and keep on keeping on, Porter! 🎮✨
