Metal Mines

Metal Mines are the only sites that can consistently produce Metal in Death Stranding 2. Thus, if you don't want to worry about the resource's stock, you'll need to find these spots.

There are two Metal Mines in DS2. However, simply finding them won't be enough; you'll need to rebuild them by investing materials. You can check the amount by hovering over the site on the map. Once a Metal Mine becomes operational, it will start producing the titular resource. You can upgrade the site by investing additional materials to increase its yield.

Each Mine will produce a set amount of its resource each in-game day. However, you can speed up the process by spending Chiral Crystals.

There are two Metal Mines in Death Stranding 2:

• Northeastern Mine - It is located between the Motherhood region and the edge of the map, in Australia.
• South Edge Mine - It can be found in the southeastern corner of Australia, Near Southern Environmental Observatory and DHV Magellan Terminal Fort Knot (F8), towards the coastline.

Search BT Zones

Players might also find resource-filled containers dropped by other gamers. For example, areas with BTs are the most likely to have lost cargo. The region between the Government's Base and The Lone Commander is one of the places where you can find dropped containers. These will include many resources, including Metal in Death Stranding 2.

Postboxes and Supply Requests

You should often check if other players have provided Metals to your facility terminals and postboxes. Oftentimes, players will abandon items because they weigh too much. Thus, you can instead pick them up. Players can also ask other people to donate Metals by placing signs on the ground.
