How building structures using the PCC works in Death Stranding 2

Death Stranding 2 allows you to build structures using the Portable Chiral Constructor (PCC). However, this feature won't be available off the bat. Instead, you'll need to progress the main questline to a certain point. This unique constructor allows you to build monuments that make delivering packages easier for you or other players.

This article explains more about the PCC in DS2.

After completing Order No. 3, you'll unlock the PCC, a device you can use to construct structures on the go. You can also steal it from MULEs or find one in lost cargo.

To build a structure, hold right on the D-pad to bring up the tools menu. Inside it, choose the PPC. Select the structure you wish to build, and its hologram will pop up. Hold L2 to place it. If the hologram is blue, you can create the structure. If it's any other hue, that is because you don't have enough available area.

Move the hologram around until it turns blue. After you're satisfied with its placement, hold R2 to build the structure. You'll see the object being printed.

Some structures will require materials to complete the construction. While the PCC will build the foundation of the structure, it will degrade quickly. Adding materials can increase an installation's resilience against hazards like timefall.

All structures you build also occupy a particular amount of chiral bandwidth, of which you only have a limited number. Thus, you cannot build another installment if you exceed the chiral bandwidth unless you increase it or demolish some other structure you built previously.

If you're playing online, chances are that some other player will provide the resources required to complete the structure. After you've built one, you can upgrade the installation to boost its resistance and add custom elements like music or custom greetings.
