Enabling and finding Aid Requests

Ad

To start, make sure you’re playing in online mode. You won’t be able to see or respond to Aid Requests if the game is offline. Once you're online and exploring, you’ll occasionally receive a notification about an Aid Request in the general area around you.

Use your Odradek scanner to locate the request and learn of its requirements. If you already have what’s needed or can build it, you’re good to go. Once you reach the marked spot:

  • Drop the requested item inside the highlighted circle on the ground.
  • If placed correctly, the “Send Cargo” option will appear.
  • Press Square on your controller to complete the request.

For weapons, make sure the item has ammo, or it won’t be accepted. If the “Send Cargo” prompt doesn’t show up, double-check that your item is placed properly within the circle. After a successful delivery, you'll get 100 Likes, which contribute to your Porter Grade — something that ties into several Death Stranding 2 trophies.

You'll even see the other player’s Sam appear briefly to collect the item and give a quick thumbs-up before disappearing.
