In Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, there’s a substantial blend of survival and building aspects in gameplay. This involves scavenging various resource materials and erecting support structures. With six distinct resources to amass and multiple buildings to unlock and create across the expansive world, you’ll find yourself with plenty of tasks as you establish your network of facilities.
This handbook on “Death Stranding 2: On The Beach” is packed with all the essential information about constructing structures, along with tips for efficiently gathering resources required for building, enhancing, and fixing these structures.
PCC Level
In this game, you can’t construct buildings at any point unless they align with both the story progression and the level of your Portable Chiral Constructor (PCC). The PCC should be in your inventory to set up structures. You gain access to Level 1 of the PCC after connecting with Villa Libre during Main Order 003, simultaneously unlocking your first two fundamental structures.
Along your journey, you’ll encounter several additional PCC Level 1 structures. Eventually, connecting with The Dowser in Main Order 021 will grant you access to PCC Level 2. Continuing the narrative will reveal further opportunities to build PCC Level 2 structures.
In other words, Level 3 of PCC can only be obtained in additional content available after the game’s main story has ended. To unlock this hidden upgrade, you need to establish a maximum 5-star connection at Mr. Impossible’s prepper facility alongside The Tar Twins. Keep in mind that no matter how many orders you complete here, progress towards a 5-star connection will not start until after the main storyline is concluded.
Task 124 presents the toughest challenge: You’ll need to gather seven leaking containers filled with chiral sculptures within a tight 50-minute window. These containers are scattered across diverse locations, some even in mountainous areas. To facilitate this, ensure a robust network of roads, zip-lines, monorail tracks, and supporting structures are established, along with various vehicles suitable for all terrains. The Coffin Board and Cargo Catapult might prove useful. Since time is limited, try to minimize conflicts by either clearing out enemy bases before starting or adopting a covert approach to sneak in, grab the prize, and exit swiftly.
To effectively eliminate mechs and BTs during your mission, consider turning on the Drawbridge Q-Pid. Note that this action might impact your Porter Grade somewhat. You’ll find this option available post-credits, or you can access it through the ‘System’ menu on the ring terminal.
During gameplay, it’s not possible to pause and save. Instead, start with the most challenging levels based on your own assessment of your skill level, then gradually move to less difficult tasks. This way, if you realize early on that you won’t be able to reach the desired rating within the time limit, you can easily revert to a previous state by restarting your progress from a saved point.

PCC Lv3 Structures
In PCC Level 3 items, you won’t find any unique structures. Instead, any newly created structures will automatically be boosted to Level 2. Unlike before, Bridges and Safe Houses will be constructed in a fully completed state, not just their initial foundations. The materials needed for construction remain unchanged.
How To Farm Chiral Crystals
Besides being used in the construction of equipment, Chiral Crystals are also crucial for building, enhancing, and fixing specific structures. Each 1000 Chiral Crystals you possess will decrease your overall weight by 1 kg, with a maximum reduction limit of 50 kg.
A straightforward place to obtain Chiral Crystals could be personal bathroom showers, where they can be rinsed away from Sam’s skin.
In simpler terms, you can gather significantly more resources from an open environment with the help of a scanner. Additionally, tar pits located near mining sites also provide a rich concentration of resources.
BTs are a guaranteed source for Chiral Crystals in their loot drops.
How To Farm Resins
In many instances, resins play a crucial role in the construction process, including the manufacture of various types of machinery and the establishment of secure shelters.
Look for Resin at the ‘F3 Crater Mine’ and ‘Mine North of F6’ locations. Improve these mines as much as possible. Trade 1000 Chiral Crystals to get 3200 Resins at level 1 from one of them. Another option is a mine near F6.
MULE Postboxes are a source for all kinds of materials, so hack to unlock them.
Recycle any damaged Ghost Blades recovered from defeated Mechs.
How To Farm Metals
Resins play a crucial role in many aspects of machinery construction, renovations, and maintenance, not forgetting their importance in bridge building.
A great place to obtain Metals is the ‘Northeastern Mine’ site. Enhance and optimize it for peak performance. Provide 1200 Chiral Crystals to get 4000 Metals when level 1.
In most enemy camps, you’ll encounter large amounts of metal stored in easily accessible containers. Additionally, you might come across these metals scattered outside or on fallen enemies.
MULE Postboxes are a source for all kinds of materials, so hack to unlock them.
Recycle any damaged Ghost Blades recovered from defeated Mechs.
How To Farm Ceramics
Ceramics are required for some equipment fabrication.
A great place to obtain Ceramics is the ‘Smoke Hill Mine’ site. Enhance and optimize it for peak performance. Offer 800 Chiral Crystals to receive 960 Ceramics at level 1. Another supply point can be found near the ‘Mine North of Tar Lake’.
In most enemy camps, you can easily locate small amounts of ceramics in pre-packed containers. Additionally, you may discover these ceramics on vanquished adversaries, vehicles like forklifts, or even within tents.
MULE Postboxes are a source for all kinds of materials, so hack to unlock them.
How To Farm Chemicals
For constructing equipment and making facility improvements such as enhancing the Zip-Line’s reach, chemicals are essential.
At the ‘Twin Valley Mine’ site, you’ll find a reliable supplier of Chemicals. Enhance and optimize it for peak performance. Offer 1200 Chiral Crystals to receive 720 Chemicals when upgraded to Level 1.
In most enemy bases, you can easily locate large amounts of chemical substances stored in containers for quick use. Additionally, you might encounter these chemicals scattered around outside or even on fallen adversaries.
MULE Postboxes are a source for all kinds of materials, so hack to unlock them.
Recycle any damaged Ghost Blades recovered from defeated Mechs.
How To Farm Special Alloys
For constructing equipment and making building enhancements such as the lengthened Zip-Line and the construction of secure shelters (Safe Houses), specific alloys are essential.
You can obtain high-quality Special Alloys from the mine located north of F1, specifically during Mission 013. It’s crucial to fix and optimize it for optimal performance. To get 4800 Special Alloys at level 1, you will need to provide 2000 Chiral Crystals in return. Additionally, another source can be found at the Savanna Mine location.
In many enemy encampments, you’ll come across small amounts of Special Alloys stored in easily accessible containers. Additionally, you might discover these alloys scattered outside the camps or even on fallen enemies.
MULE Postboxes are a source for all kinds of materials, so hack to unlock them.
In Death Stranding 2: On The Beach, I will explain the process of opening and developing structures, along with a guide on farming all necessary materials for construction.
