The rain/snow in Death Stranding 2 is called a Timefall. It is said to age anything it touches, and porters usually have special suits to avoid damage from this rain. You will encounter Timefall in Bt-infested areas. The black strands you notice upon entering these areas can create an EMP (electro-magnetic pulse) that can disable any electronic equipment.

Besides the pouring rain, Timefall can be noticed by inverted rainbows. Given its highly corrosive nature, it will affect the cargo you carry and your vehicle, so be careful when you venture out in Death Stranding 2.

The effects of a Timefall in Death Stranding 2 can be countered using a few items. Container Repair Sprays is one of them, and it can undo any damage caused by the rain. Timefall Shelters also revert any damage to your cargo and store it in these structures for a long period. Note that if your cargo gets damaged too badly, you won't be able to revert it to its original state.

Vehicles can be repaired in garages across some bases, like the DHV Magellan. If you spend time in a Timefall, it also restores your canteen.
