Online Aid Requests in Death Stranding 2 are your silent threads to the world. They don’t require voice chat, squads, or co-op matchmaking, but they do let you change another player’s journey. Whether you’re fixing a broken bridge, dropping a weapon, or setting up a shelter mid-Timefall, these requests are about one thing: building connections without ever meeting. Here's how to fulfill them and make every Like count.
What Are Online Aid Requests?
Online Aid Requests are asynchronous missions sent out by other players. You’re not teaming up directly, but you
are collaborating. Think of them as calls for help that echo across timelines. You might stumble upon them mid-journey or receive a notification during exploration. These requests range from cargo deliveries to infrastructure support, and every little bit helps.
Death Stranding 2 ● How To Complete Online Aid Requests
Step-by-Step: How to Fulfill Them
1. Stay Online
First things first—make sure you’re connected to the game’s online network. If you’re offline, Aid Requests won’t show up. This isn’t just a gameplay feature—it’s the soul of
Death Stranding 2.
2. Scan the Area
Your Odradek scanner is your sixth sense.
When you're in the vicinity of a request, scan frequently to reveal the exact location and required items. Some requests are simple item drops; others may need you to build or restore something.
3. Meet the Requirements
Check what the request needs. It could be a weapon (with ammo), building material, or a specific tool. Got it in your inventory? Great. If not, you’ll need to craft it or grab it from a nearby terminal.
4. Locate the Drop Zone
Once you’re at the request site, look for the glowing circle or marker. That’s your delivery point. Step inside and carefully drop the required item. If it’s accepted, you’ll see the
“Send Cargo” prompt.
5. Complete the Request
Press Square to send the cargo. You’ll see a brief cutscene where another Sam collects the item, giving you a silent but meaningful thumbs-up. Expect to earn Likes, which boost your Porter Grade.
