How to change weapons and items during Death Stranding

Death Stranding is not entirely a fighting game. It is about survival and bonding in a world forever changed by choices. It is up to good and honest people to bring it together. More importantly, it's up to the main character, Sam, to deliver packages to multiple people he meets in massive game towns. Although this is not a fighting game, players still need to be prepared to face combat and know how to switch weapons and other useful items. Here is how you go about it.

How to trade weapons and items in Death Stranding

Using the in-game quick menu is pretty easy, and once you get the hang of it, you'll find yourself swapping weapons seamlessly during a fight. All you have to do is hold the right button on the directional pad and scroll through the quick access menu. You should see the items you are looking to import from your inventory into your hand. These items will be useful things that your character, Sam, can use immediately in a fight or encounter. Knowing what you can extract using this menu is vital.

However, you can't get everything you own back. You must make sure that he accompanies you on your trip. If you don't have it on Sam when he makes a delivery, there won't be access and you might end up without the right gear to deal with all the issues. Before heading out for a delivery or getting into the word, spend some time on your menu to review your items. If you like to use something or weapon that you plan to use when playing, make sure you have enough and carry it before you go.

If you can't find an item you want to use in your quick-access inventory, take the time to locate it by browsing your entire inventory. Bring it up by pressing the R3 button on your PlayStation 4 controller to search for it. For those who can't find it, you may need to verify that you brought it.

Always make sure you bring the correct gear with Sam before you go on a delivery mission. If you don't, you could get killed or fail to deliver the package to its destination. Good luck on completing Death Stranding and getting those on-time deliveries.
