Death Stranding 2: On the Beach: Postbox Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide

In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, Postboxes are functional structures tied to the Social Strand System, granting access to private and shared lockers for storing or entrusting cargo. There are 31 MULE Postboxes total — 10 in Mexico and 21 across Australia — found specifically within or near Hostile Territory camps.

The "MULE" naming persists from the original game's terminology despite no active MULE faction in the sequel, reflecting the lore detail that postboxes in these hostile camps inherited the branding regardless of which faction now occupies them.

All 31 locations are also included on our Death Stranding 2 interactive maps.

What Postboxes Do

Postboxes provide three core functions, mirroring the delivery terminals found at every connected Facility: Private Lockers accessible only to the player for personal cargo storage, Shared Lockers allowing online donation and retrieval from a communal pool with other players, and the ability to entrust Lost Cargo to the delivery system without carrying it the full distance personally.

Blue vs Green Lost Cargo

Lost Cargo found in the world comes in two distinct types.

• Blue Lost Cargo is specific to a player's own game instance — delivering it to its intended recipient grants Likes and reputation progress with that specific Facility, sometimes more generously than standard first-time order completions.

• Green Lost Cargo has been left behind by other players via the asynchronous Social Strand System — delivering it still grants Likes, but these contribute to the Bridge Link Porter Grade stat rather than reputation with any specific Facility.

Entrusting vs Direct Delivery

Cargo dropped at a Postbox via the entrust option earns a reduced reward proportional to the remaining distance not personally carried — direct delivery to the final destination always yields the highest reward.

Entrusting is best used strategically: when carrying capacity is full, when a delivery deadline is unrealistic on foot, or when passing through a Postbox conveniently positioned along the route to a Facility with limited Standard Order availability.

A New Mechanic: Postboxes as Hiding Spots

Unlike the original Death Stranding, Postboxes in the sequel can double as hiding spots — a useful evasion tactic when avoiding detection in hostile BT Territory or Bandit camp zones.

Postboxes automatically recede into the ground when a porter moves away and will fail to rise back up if a vehicle is parked too close, so positioning matters both for accessibility and concealment.

A Useful Stockpiling Strategy

Many experienced porters position newly built Postboxes just outside a Facility's no-fire boundary, stockpiling extra Lost Cargo there rather than the Facility's own storage.

This allows cargo to be cashed in gradually as Standard Order availability refreshes, since each individual delivery only counts toward connection-level progress once submitted — saving potentially hours of cooldown waiting compared to relying solely on a Facility's native storage.
