F5 East Distribution Centre Rewards – Death Stranding 2

About F5 East Distribution Centre

Once standing on the shores of a large body of water, Lakeside Fort Knot (F5) was destroyed in a calamitous voidout. Underground tar currents combined with the underlying topography to produce an enormous sinkhole, in which a gigantic tar lake formed. Although the F5 East Distribution Centre was not damaged in the voidout, the tar continued to erode the ground on which it is situated, and at one point it was at serious risk of submersion. This crisis was averted thanks to chiral microbes, which absorb, solidify, and then excrete liquid tar.

According to Viktor, the natural disasters that are affecting Australia are of a different order of magnitude to those that afflicted the North American continent. balance between the Beach and the earth below is not restored, such catastrophes are likely to continue.

Administrator: Viktor Frank

A Bridges staff member who used to work at Port Knot City in the UCA. Viktor is the older brother of Igor Frank, the corpse disposal technician who was caught in a voidout when helping Sam transport a body for incineration from Central Knot City. Before he died, he entrusted Sam to look after his BB, whom Sam took to calling Lou.

The Ludens key ring attached to Sam’s BB pod was a keepsake from Igor. Viktor asked Sam to take it with him on his travels as a way of honouring his brother’s memory.

After the UCA was established, Viktor left Port Knot City to work at a UCA research lab, only for it to be destroyed in a voidout. It was so destructive, tight movement restrictions were imposed in the hope of preventing a similar voidout from ever striking again.

Away at the time, Viktor was left unscathed, and for want of work joined the APAC advance expedition to Australia. But his bad fortune continued when the closest city to the distribution centre where he now works, Lakeside Fort Knot (F5), was also struck by a voidout, claiming the lives of many of Viktor’s friends.

1-Star Reward

1 – Porter Suit: Junji Ito

A suit designed specifically for making deliveries. S-size cargo can be attached to the shoulders and the hips. The stylish number features an illustration by Junji Ito. It has an anti-BT effect, making it easier to escape from gazers and watchers.

2 – Grenade Launcher

A hard-hitting weapon that fires grenades that travel in an arc and explode on impact.

Cheap but powerful, grenade launchers have become a favourite of armed groups everywhere and are an example of the type of weapons proliferation that continues to cause major grief for civilians, travellers, and porters alike.

Picking up a grenade launcher from a downed enemy can quickly turn the tide of a skirmish in your favour, but be sure to check what kind of ammo is loaded before pulling the trigger.

3 – Cargo Catapult

A ballistic structure capable of safely launching cargo over long distances. It can be built anywhere within the chiral network using a PCC Lv2.

The cargo is launched in pods, which are connected to parachutes that must be opened before landing to prevent damage. Each pod can be controlled remotely once its parachute has been opened, allowing you to adjust its landing location and launch any thrown weapons stored within. Thrown weapons are launched one container at a time and scatter over a wide area.

Upgraded cargo catapults are more resistant to timefall and natural disasters.

2-Star Reward

Absolute Boots

Sturdy all-round boots that are suited to making deliveries, mountaineering, and combat.

Their durability is so great that it’s almost impossible to wear them through, with the spikes at their front and rear providing additional grip, as well as making for more damaging kicks. They also provide excellent shock absorption, softening the impact of any falls.

The downside of this spectacular functionality is that they are both heavy and expensive to fabricate.

Only those with the strongest legs can wear these weighty boots for extended periods – a fact that has discouraged many novice porters who were initially drawn to their versatility.

3-Star Reward

Lightweight Grenade Launcher [MP Shells]

A hard-hitting weapon that fires grenades that travel in an arc and explode on impact.

This lightweight (LW) model can be transported as a compact piece of cargo.

It is loaded with MP shells capable of damaging any type of target, releasing plastic projectiles effective against humans and BTs, as well as a chemical cloud to damage mechs.
