Complete Guide to All Preppers

Complete Guide to All Preppers

Updated November 29, 2024 by Christopher Norman W: With the recent release of Death Stranding on Xbox, new porters from around the world are making their way across Hideo Kojima’s bleak vision of a future America decimated by the eponymous event. In this guide, we focused on providing players with all the information about preppers they could ever need. This update will ensure the information is still up-to-date, and will also provide players will a new video that will detail the location of all preppers in Death Stranding.




Throughout the course of his journey through the world of Death Stranding, Sam Porter Bridges will encounter all manner of people and places. Some of these individuals – known as preppers in the vernacular of the game – will be integral to the success of Sam’s mission, while others are hidden away and easily missed. Regardless of their perceived importance to the mission, each one of these groups or individuals serve as the vehicle for one of Death Stranding‘s central questions: what is the cost of losing personal connection?

There are 36 preppers throughout the world of Death Stranding that Sam can connect with. While some may argue that the connection is its own reward, many of the game’s best tools can be acquired through deepening Sam’s bond with these survivalists, making the completionist approach more than worthwhile.

Death Stranding Gets New Update on Xbox

A new update rolls out for Death Stranding on Xbox that fixes an issue relating to one of the console’s more convenient features.

Preppers in Death Stranding – A Quick Overview

Map of the Chiral Network in Death Stranding


Death Stranding considers every NPC that Sam has a quantifiable relationship with to be one of it’s 36 preppers. These relationships are measured through a five-star system, with every package delivered or task completed increasing said relationship. Star levels will never be decreased, no matter what Sam does. Some preppers will be reluctant to join the United Cities of America (UCA) and the Chiral Network when first approached. Sam must convince these prickly individuals through hard work and tenacity, often signing them up on a “trial run,” agreeing first to join the chiral network before becoming full-fledged outposts for the UCA.

As Sam’s relationship with a prepper increases, there are several rewards that can be unlocked. These rewards generally take up to six forms:


  • Increases to both materials and chiral network capacity: Sam will be able to store more upgrade and printing materials at that shelter or station. He will also be able to place more pieces of equipment in the world.
  • Custom colors for gear: Sam can unlock new colors for his gear, which can be changed in Death Stranding‘s Private Rooms.
  • Holograms: These can be used to customize equipment out in the field.
  • Chiral Printer Blueprints: Increasing Sam’s relationship with preppers is one of the key ways to receive new blueprints for the chiral printer.
  • Token of Appreciation: Several preppers offer Sam one-of-a-kind items when they reach a certain threshold in their relationship. An example of this is the Bridges Cap from Capital Knot City, or the “Sam” Sunglasses from the Film Director. Other preppers may show their gratitude by giving weapons, gear/tools, or materials. When this occurs, the token of gratitude will be given indefinitely, whenever Sam meets the criteria for receiving them.
  • Maximum Relationship Level Rewards: The base version of the game gave Sam a star to place on the leg of his jumpsuit. Death Stranding Director’s Cut added a unique patch system for Sam’s backpack as well. With the smaller shelters and waystations, Sam will have access to a ‘rest area,’ where he can restore ammo and stamina.


All Eastern Region Preppers – Death Stranding

Once Sam gets through Death Stranding‘s prologue, he will have access to the Eastern Region. At first, Sam will have to move west one prepper at a time, but this will slowly lead to him having access to the full region.

Keep in mind that certain prepper unlocks may not show if the relationship level is reached before the mechanic has been discovered in the overall game. For example, Nick Easton at Capital Knot City will award Sam with an extra Delivery Bot, but

Death Stranding
‘s Delivery Bots

aren’t unlocked until later in the game. If Sam reaches a relationship threshold and does not receive a listed item, this is likely the reason. Sam must return later and complete a standard order to trigger the unlocking process.
