Do you know that Sam has access to a lot of weapons while traveling through Mexico and Australia? Knowing how to get them all can make your adventure in the game much easier.

Here is the complete list of all weapons in Death Stranding 2 and how to get them.

Weapons in Death Stranding 2 and How to Get Them

How to Get Weapons in Death Stranding 2

Getting weapons in Death Stranding 2 is actually pretty simple. There are two main ways to do it. First, just keep on playing and following the story. As you go through the main missions, you will get new weapons when you need them. The game’s pretty good about giving you what you will need for what’s coming up next.

Second, you can make friends with the preppers. These are the NPCs (which might be your favorite celebrity cameos in the game!) who will share their stuff once they trust you. Help them out with deliveries and do what they ask, and then they will hook you up with better gear. Some of the best weapons are actually locked behind these relationships. So don’t skip those side jobs.

All Weapons in Death Stranding 2

For easier reading, we have divided the weapons and how to obtain them by category. We also added information about which weapons are best to use in each category:

Handguns and Pistols

Your handguns are the weapons you’ll use most. That Maser Handgun you start with is okay-ish for the beginning, but you’ll want something better pretty quickly. The SL Machine Pistol and Tranq Handgun are perfect when you need to stay quiet.

Big-Bore HandgunGet to Connection Level 4 with Ciudad Nudo del Norte (C1) in Mexico

Assault Rifles and Machine Guns

The assault rifles are your go-to weapons for most combat situations. The LW versions are lighter, which matters a lot since you’re always watching how much weight you’re carrying.

Shotguns and Sniper Rifles

Shotguns are great when things get up close, especially in tight spots. The Musician and Lone Commander are the NPCs for everything shotgun. Try to get the Tranq Sniper Rifles for taking out enemies from a distance without killing them, which sometimes is exactly what you need.

Launchers and Heavy Weapons

These are your big guns for when things get really crazy. The Battle Guitar might be the coolest weapon in the whole game. It’s literally a guitar that shoots bullets, and you get it during one of the most intense parts of the story.

Vehicle-Mounted Weapons

Last but not least, don’t forget about vehicle weapons. When you’re driving through dangerous areas, having a Heavy Machine Gun on your truck can be a lifesaver. The Sticky Cannon is also really handy for grabbing lost cargo without having to get out and walk over to it.
