Death Stranding 2's Secret Lethal Combat Mode Discovered by Players
2025-07-03 02:26:30A clever Death Stranding 2 player has revealed an intriguing hidden feature that allows porters to utilize lethal force against enemies. Death Stranding 2: On the Beach continues the franchise's unique blend of futuristic exploration and delivery gameplay, with protagonist Sam Bridges once again undertaking missions to reconnect a fractured society. However, this sequel introduces more dangerous threats, including the return of Higgs with his enhanced forces and mechanical war machines.
While the original Death Stranding emphasized peaceful traversal, Death Stranding 2 has been designed with more combat options following player feedback. YouTube user KLsk recently discovered a secret 'Live Fire mode' that can be activated by holding both triggers and the circle button when selecting weapons from the game's Weapon Wheel. This hidden feature transforms non-lethal weapons into deadly armaments, though with significant consequences.
The game continues the series' thematic emphasis on the repercussions of violence. Using lethal force creates additional BTs (Beached Things) and risks triggering catastrophic Voidout events. Sam's mysterious new companion, Dollman, frequently warns against this destructive path, though players can choose to ignore these warnings if they're willing to face the consequences.
Death Stranding 2 remains packed with Hideo Kojima's signature hidden details and references, including nods to JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and the upcoming Ghost of Yotei. As players continue exploring the game's vast landscapes, more secrets and unexpected mechanics are likely to be discovered in this complex, thought-provoking sequel.
