Former Geophysics Research Lab Rewards – Death Stranding 2

About the Former Geophysics Research Lab

A Mexican research facility that predates the Death Stranding.

It was originally a geophysics facility principally used to conduct research into seismic activity. After the Death Stranding, however, Mexico’s surviving researchers and scientists all gathered here in the hopes of using the facility to understand and overcome the disaster.

The laboratory now conducts investigations into the world beyond Central America, the skies above, and the earth below. It also researches spiritual matters of life and death, such as the Beach and DOOMS.

The scope of the laboratory’s scientific inquiry is far-reaching and ever-expanding.

Administrator: Alex Weatherstone

A member of the first Bridges expedition who worked at the Weather Station.

Alex collected and analysed weather data from the North American continent and observed changes in chiral density. This information was used to provide support for Sam as he made his deliveries. Alex was once a medic, and he also took care of his coworkers’ health at the Weather Station.

After the UCA was established, Alex aspired to join his old boss, Deadman, at the Mexican research lab. Benjamin Rivera, from the C1 South Distribution Centre, helped Alex make the move, and the two have been close ever since.

In addition to his medical knowledge, Alex is also well informed about the weather and geological phenomena, such as tar. He wants to unpvéi the mystery of the Death Stranding by looking into humanity’s relationship with the Beach, among other things.

1-Star Reward

Tri-Cruiser

A three-wheeled motorcycle sporting two front wheels. The tri-cruiser boasts an impressive top speed and excellent manoeuvrability, with its small chassis allowing for tight turning circles.

An excellent off-road vehicle, the tri-cruiser’s front wheels offer excellent shock absorption and feature built-in spikes that will automatically deploy on steep slopes and wet ground to provide more grip. Using its alignment control feature, they can also be easily lifted off the ground to perform wheelies.

To allow large firearms and grenades to be used while inside the vehicle, its seats have been elevated and opened up. One-handed weapons can be used while driving. A cargo shelf can be found on the side of the tri-cruiser, as well as a space to store a backpack and smaller pieces of cargo behind the seat.

Tri-cruisers are battery-powered, though its battery will drain very quickly when in water, so be careful. It will recharge automatically during sunny or cloudy weather. You can also recharge the battery by using a generator or storing the vehicle in a garage.

Electrical attacks will short-circuit a tri-cruiser, rendering it temporarily inoperable.

Custom components can be fitted to the cargo shelf to further enhance the tri-cruiser’s capabilities.
