In Death Stranding 2, physical actions like sprinting, carrying heavy cargo, wading through streams, and climbing high up in the mountains will deplete stamina. Your max stamina level goes down when that happens. So, even if you stand still and catch a breath, you will not have max stamina.

Running out of stamina can be a problem, especially if you have a long haul ahead of you or you want to outrun some danger you are encountering. There are two main ways of restoring stamina in Death Stranding 2:

• Resting and sleeping: Resting in your private room will help you restore all your stamina. You can also rest out in the open by holding the Square button.
• Drink water: Sam carries water in his Canteen. You can drink from there to restore stamina. The Canteen can be found in the Equipment/Tools menu by holding Right on the D-pad. The Canteen automatically refills with timefall or river water.

You can upgrade stamina in Death Stranding 2 by drinking the three energy cans found in your private rooms in the various bunkers you visit throughout your journey to link the Chiral Network.
