The Architect Rewards – Death Stranding 2

About The Architect

Administrator: The Architect

A master craftsman, the Architect has turned his hand to all manner of styles: Japanese, Gothic, Baroque, Modern, Contemporary, Post-Modern, and the newly emerging Post-Stranding.

He both designs and builds his structures, and tries to make all of his work original and unique, though much of his genius is no longer visible due to the effects of timefall.

A chiral printer can produce a huge number of buildings in a short space of time. But such mass-produced carbon copies lack any character to be of interest to the Architect.

Instead, he has poured his heart and soul into more intimate projects, such as the pizza oven that he constructed in collaboration with the Pizza Chef. No one who has seen it up close will quickly forget the warmth of its glow, let alone the taste of the pizzas that come out of it. The Architect claims that eating a slice of the Pizza Chef’s finest takes him straight back to the night the oven was completed. It is these personal, meaningful projects that he wants to keep building.

Since meeting Sam, however, the Architect seems to have had something of a change of heart…

Rewards: The Architect

Each Knot City and Shelter has a five-star reward system, granting rewards and upgrades with every star reached. Gain more reputation by delivering goods. APAS firmware upgrades, bandwidth increases, and Material Allotment increases are granted with every star reward. Shelters additionally offer Sam a place to rest at the 5-Star level.

Porter-to-Porter Advice

Struggling to find enough cargo to boost Sam’s reputation with The Architect? There’s a simple solution. Open the Ring Terminal menu and head to the “Orders” section. From there, navigate to the “Search” tab and select The Architect under “Delivery/Report Destination.” Confirm your search, and you’ll receive a list of available Order Locations for The Architect. It’s a quick and convenient way to make a Porter’s job a whole lot easier.

1-Star Reward

Chiral Bridge

A device that makes use of chiralgram technology to produce a bridge that can fit into confined spaces. It can be built anywhere within the chiral network using a PCC Lv2.

Use “Triangle” and “Square” to adjust the angle of the bridge during construction.

Chiral bridges utilise a special ID management system that prevents unauthorised persons from crossing. Bridges can be activated and deactivated from their structure menu. Note that chiral bridges will be deactivated automatically during periods of timefall (rain or snow).

The bridges are narrow, making them unsuitable for vehicles. You will move faster and jump while crossing the bridge on foot, on account of the way the chiralgram reacts to a human presence.

Upgraded chiral bridges are more resistant to timefall and natural
disasters.

2-Star Reward

Electric Trap

A stationary, proximity-activated trap that zaps enemies in its vicinity with a powerful electric charge.

Two or more traps can also be deployed in close proximity to create an array of laser tripwires that trigger when enemies pass between them.

Electrical traps can be used outside the chiral network and do not consume chiral bandwidth.

3-Star Reward

APAS Enhancement – Construction Speed Boost

Dramatically increases the speed at which a PCC can build by optimising the construction process.

5-Star Rewards

1 – Custom Hologram: The Architect

A Hologram of The Architect can now be selected under any Structure Customisation.

2 – Patch 40: Wooden Blocks

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 Architect.

3 – Special Reward

The Architect will now frequently repair Sam’s structures all over the world, free of charge.
