Animal Shelter Location Rewards – Death Stranding 2

About the Animal Shelter

Several animal species are unique to the Australian continent and its outlying islands. These include kangaroos, koalas, possums, Tasmanian devils, and emus. But the Death Stranding has had a devastating effect on these creatures – their numbers have dwindled, and some varieties have died out entirely. Many of Australia’s already rare animals are now even fewer in number.

The Australian continent was once part of the supercontinent Gondwana, but began pulling away from the landmass around 140 million years ago. Several million years later, it had completely separated, and no land bridges to other continents remained. In that isolation, several species were able to develop and flourish, especially marsupials that could thrive in an environment free of the large mammals that would have been their natural predators.

If these species become extinct in Australia, they will be lost to the world forever. The Animal Shelter is therefore attempting to preserve as many of Australia’s unique creatures as possible. It is a responsibility they take very seriously.

Administrator: Animal Shelter Staff

Extinction has been a natural inevitability since life first appeared on Earth. But it changed dramatically with the arrival of humans.

As humanity spread to all corners of the world, advancing our economic and technological powers, we changed the planet around us. Climate change accelerated the rate of extinction across the globe, and a huge number of species were lost during industrialisation.

Now, the Death Stranding has put humanity itself on the brink. Is there a certain irony to this – are we simply reaping what we have sown?

The staff at the Animal Shelter are pained by humanity’s historical foolishness, and have resolved to do what they can to protect the world’s remaining species. But its three staff members – Lauren, Martin, and lain – need the assistance of the chiral network to do so. Perhaps it is precisely the hunger for technological advancement that puts so many of the world’s species at risk, that may yet turn out to be their saviour.

Story Rewards

1 – Story of Rainy by Woodkid – Music

2 – Amekara Nijie by Woodkid – Music

1-Star Reward

Decoy Hologrenade

A hand grenade that produces a decoy hologram to draw enemy attention. The hologram must be activated by remote, and it lasts only for a limited duration.

During combat, the hologrenade will produce a hologram of Sam to disorientate the enemy. Outside of combat, this will be replaced with a hologram of a cute animal to distract the enemy.

Beneath their battle-hardened exteriors, the hostiles you’ll encounter are still human, making them just as susceptible to the charms of adorable critters as anybody else. One can only imagine the disappointment they must feel when the cuddly creature they go to pet turns out to be a
hologram…

2-Star Reward

Stealth Hologrenade

A hand grenade that produces a camouflaging hologram to disguise Sam and his cargo. The hologram must be activated by remote, and it lasts only for a limited duration.

The holograms are very versatile and can be used to hide Sam, pieces of cargo, or enemy corpses. If thrown into a natural environment, the hologrenade will produce a hologram of a rock formation that blends in with its surroundings. In a man-made environment, however, it will
produce a hologram of a shipping container.

The holograms concealing MULE postboxes that you will sometimes encounter in enemy bases work in a similar fashion.

3-Star Reward

BT Hologrenade

A hand grenade that produces a hologram of a BT to draw enemy attention. The hologram must be activated by remote, and it lasts only for a limited duration.

The image projected by the grenade takes the form of a gazer, which is a type of BT that cannot be seen by ordinary humans. However, even those who are unfamiliar with gazers will know to be scared as soon as they lay eyes on one – or a hologram of one.

4-Star Reward

Quokka – Backpack Accessory

An accessory featuring a toy quokka. Animals are less likely to run away if you have this attached to your backpack.

5-Star Rewards

1 – Custom Hologram: Animal Shelter Staff

A Hologram of the Animal Shelter Staff can now be selected under any Structure Customisation.

2 – Patch 28: Animal

A 1×1 backpack patch that allows the wearer to express their individuality. Serves as proof that you have reached the maximum connection level with the residents of the Animal Shelter.
