Death Stranding 2: On the Beach: Warnings Locations & Interactive Tracking Guide
In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, "Warnings" are not a collectible item but a mechanic managed through the Odradek and the Environmental Observatories. These locations and signals warn Sam of impending Natural Disasters, BT Nexuses, and Brigand Ambushes.
Since the weather in Australia is dynamic, "Warning Locations" primarily refer to the epicenter zones for the game's new environmental hazards. To receive these warnings in advance, you must connect the cardinal Observatories, which then transmit real-time data to Sam’s map.
Unlike the first game's predictable Timefall, DS2 features "Warning Indicators" for four major types of disasters. These occur in specific high-risk zones across Australia:
- Plate Quake Warnings: Plate Quakes are the most dangerous new hazard. You will receive an Odradek chirp and a screen-edge shake as a warning.
- Wildfire & Chiral Comet Warnings: These rare warnings only appear in the wooded areas of Eastern Australia.
- Flood Warnings: Flooding occurs in low-lying areas after heavy Timefall.
- Hazard & Ambush Warnings: Sam's APAS (Autonomous Porter Assistance System) provides early warnings for man-made and supernatural threats.
- Sign-Based Warnings: Finally, you can find "Warnings" left by other players via the SSS (Social Strand System). Their locations have been marked on our Death Stranding 2 interactive maps and listed below.
| Name | Details | Map Location |
|---|---|---|
| Great Canyon Creek | Mexico | |
| Frontier River | Description: Joining the sea at the Gulf of Mexico, this river once formed part of the US-Mexico border. Its tributaries upstream area usually dried up, but the water level has been known to rise rapidly during periods of heavy timefall. | Mexico |
| Spider Hill | Description: A steep hill with dense vegetation located between Villa Libre and the C1 South Distribution Center. The hill takes its name from the mysterious spider-like creatures that many people have reported seeing in the area. | Mexico |
| Central River | Description: A river that flows through central Mexico. It passes through Bandit territory, and many porters have reported being attacked while trying to cross. | Mexico |
| Shoeslasher Slope | Description: A steep slope that has tested even the most capable of porters. Legend has it that no pair of boots are sturdy enough to survive the climb. True or not, you'd do well to remember such warnings if you try to scramble up... | Mexico |
| Red Mist Cliffs: Southern Area | Description: Extending to the south of the Lone Commander's shelter, these cliffs are frequently engulfed in a red mist. Visibility is poor and accidents are common. Their southern side is tall and steep. | Australia |
| Great Crater Cliffs: Southern Area | Description: A wall of cliffs encircling a giant tar lake. Formed by a series of voidouts, the sheer rock faces are extremely treacherous to traverse. The top of the cliffs offers a good view of the ghost mech factory. | Australia |
| Giant Tar Lake | Description: Australia's largest tar lake, formed by a number of voidouts. The tar is said to be bottomless, and emerging alive after being submerged is easier said than done. Cargo washes up on the shores of the lake from time to time. | Australia |
| Red Mist Cliffs: Northwestern Area | Description: Stretching northwest of the Lone Commander's shelter, these cliffs are drenched in a red fog. Many slips and falls have been reported, as travelers claim the cliffs suddenly appear through the mist before their eyes. | Australia |
| Red River | Description: A river that flows to the southwest of the Government's Base. Its basin is often filled with a red mist. Erosion of the riverbank suggests the surrounding area is prone to frequent flooding. When the water level rises, you will need to head upstream to find a safe place to cross. | Australia |
| Desert River | Australia | |
| Brigand Base Southeast of F1: Southwestern Area | Description: A watchtower allowing for surveillance of the surrounding region. Clusters of large rocks can be found to the west. | Australia |
| West River | Description: A river that flows past West Fort Knot (F1), comprising a main stream and multiple tributaries. The main stream is wider than the length of two ladders joined together, and very deep. Many people find themselves stranded and unable to cross when its water levels rise. | Australia |
| Causeway Cay | Description: A shallow beach where scattered sandbars for a path. Porters have reported being attacked by groups of chiral creatures in this area. | Australia |
| Twin Creeks | Description: Two small rivers that flow from the base of a steep cliff. Many people used to run into trouble here when the water levels rose, so a monorail line was built to span both rivers. Timefall has taken a terrible toll on the track, however, and the monorail is not currently operational. | Australia |
| West River/Upstream | Description: This upstream stretch of the river that flows through Rainbow Valley is relatively narrow. Despite this, there have been reports of inattentive porters getting in trouble when crossing at night. | Australia |
| Scarlet Canyon | Description: An impressive canyon named for its red soil and rocks. Flanked by high, sheer cliffs, it is home to eucalypts and many other plant species. The land is also prone to dryness, so when a forest fire breaks out, it spreads quickly and dangerously. | Australia |
| Firehawk's Valley | Description: A valley littered with blackened and charred objects. It got its name from the hawks that would use fire to drive their prey here before moving in for the kill. There aren't many alternative routes through the area, but do be careful if the flames force you down into the valley. | Australia |
| Northwest Coast | Description: A section of Australia's northwestern coastline. It is often affected by the tar currents that flow beneath it, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. There are a number of rivers in the northern part of this area. The monorail track can be restored using the terminals nearby. | Australia |
| Windy Plateau | Description: An elevated plateau known for its strong winds, located to the north of the giant tar lake. Large parts of the plateau are covered in rocks, and there have been sightings of wild animals and chiral creatures in the area. | Australia |
| Rampart Rocks | Description: A soaring group of rocks that resemble a castle wall. Climbing to the top provides an excellent vantage point over the ruins below. It is very treacherous underfoot, however, and many people have slipped and fallen here. | Australia |
| Cliffside River: Tributary | Description: A tributary of the upper course of the Cliffside River. The Cliffside River is famous for being difficult to cross, but gets narrower upstream beyond this point. In some places, it is even possible to jump across. | Australia |
| Cliffside River | Description: A river that runs along the bottom of a steep cliff in the northwestern part of the continent. Its upper course flows over a sheer drop, forming a waterfall. A number of tributaries join the main flow midway along, causing the river to widen significantly. It is therefore famous for being difficult to cross. | Australia |
| Pitchfork River | Description: A river that is shaped like a pitchfork and flows through Australia's northwestern plains. It has a number of tributaries that are usually dried up. A BT area stretches across the river basin, where timefall is a frequent occurrence. When the water levels rise, the tributaries fill up, changing the river's overall shape. | Australia |
| Cape Fort River | Description: A river that flows past the F2 South Distribution Center. It once flowed into Cape Fort Knot (F2), but the city has since been submerged in the tar. The lower course of the river, marked by the merging of two streams, is very wide. But the upper course is relatively easy to cross, even when the water levels are high. | Australia |
| North Edge River | Description: A river that flows through northern Australia, originating in the mining regions to the south. The river is known for being narrow but deep. | Australia |
| North Edge Ridge: Southern Area | Description: The southern portion of a ridge that stretches along the continent's northern edge. Timefall and gate quakes have destabilized the terrain, and it is clear that numerous rockfalls have taken place. | Australia |
| North Edge Ridge: Southeastern Area | Description: The southeastern portion of a ridge that stretches along the continent's northern edge. There are a number of steep cliffs here, and evidence that many aspiring mountaineers have tried and failed to scale them. | Australia |
| Northern Desert | Description: The largest desert in Australia, located in the northeastern part of the continent. Lying next to the ocean, its sands are often whipped up into storms by the powerful sea breeze. Visibility is often poor as a result, and many people find themselves lost, unable to work out which direction they're traveling in. A BT area that contains large quantities of chiral crystals is known to lie somewhere among the sands. | Australia |
| Northern Desert: Southern Area | Description: Australia's largest desert extends across the northeast of the continent. This area is located in the southern part of that desert. Porters have reported hearing strange explosions when traveling nearby. | Australia |
| Pillar Rocks | Description: An area filled with sandstone formations that have eroded into strange shapes. Some of them look like settlements, and numerous porters appear to have been lured into the rocks only to be attacked by chiral creatures. | Australia |
| White River | Description: A river that flows to the west of South Fort Knot (F6). It is supplied by water that runs down from the snowy mountains. A BT area covers the basin of the river. The fast-flowing water and snow-covered ground make this terrain difficult to traverse. | Australia |
| Pillar Rocks: Southern Area | Description: An area filled with sandstone formations that have eroded into strange shapes. Wild animals have been spotted in the southern part of this area. Porters have also reported being attacked by chiral creatures, so be careful. | Australia |
| Bushfire Zone | Description: Many flammable trees grow in this area, and bushfires are a regular occurrence. These are triggered by simple natural causes: high temperatures and extreme drought. | Australia |
| East River | Description: A wide river that flows through the area of savannah in eastern Australia. There are a number of places where the water is usually shallow enough to cross, but a bridge will be your only option should the water levels begin to rise. | Australia |
| Icy Mountain Trail | Description: A path once used to scale the peaks of the snowy mountains. Very little of the path now remains. It is very steep in places, and it is clear that rockfalls often take place here. | Australia |
| Pincer Rivers | Description: Rivers that flow south of East Fort Knot (F4) toward the east of the continent. They are narrow and relatively easy too cross. Their shape resembles the pincers of a crab, hence their name. Wild animals are often spotted near these rivers. | Australia |
| Warrigal Cliff | Description: A cliff located in the southern part of Australia's Central Highlands. There are signs that a gate quake has destroyed part of the cliff face, where many climbers who follow the ridge then find themselves at an impasse -- standing atop a jagged rock, like a wild wolf of old. | Australia |
| South Edge River | Description: A wide river that flows to the east of Terminal Fort Knot (F8). It can only be crossed via a bridge when the water levels rise, but during calmer times, when the water is shallow, it is possible to wade across. | Australia |
| Central Highlands: Eastern Area | Description: The eastern part of the mountain range that rises in the center of the Australian continent. Its peaks are clustered tightly together in a severe string of ups and downs. Deep snow and low temperatures will drain your stamina, making these inclines a daunting prospect. Many mountaineers misjudge their route, and suffer painful falls. | Australia |
