Timefall rain and other obstacles will get in the way of a perfect delivery in Death Stranding 2, so players are going to need to know exactly how they can repair their cargo and containers to make sure that they are providing the best possible service as they connect the world.

How to Repair Cargo in Death Stranding 2

Players can repair containers in Death Stranding 2 by using the Container Repair Spray. This piece of equipment can be crafted from facilities under the Fabricate Equipment screen, and players will be able to craft Container Repair Sprays for 10 Resins and 20 Chiral Crystals. For players wondering what the Container Repair Spray is for, or why it's important to keep the container condition of the cargo perfect, then they can find the answer here: Timefall rain deteriorates the container that holds the cargo, and if the container rusts from the aging properties of Timefall, then the cargo is exposed and will become far more fragile and easy to break, thus making it vital that players use a Container Repair Spray so that their cargo does not break. Players should always keep a Container Repair Spray on hand at all times in case it begins to rain.

To use the Container Repair Spray, players simply need to head into their equipment wheel, where they can select the Container Repair Spray and spray items with R2. Players can use the Square button to point the spray can forward or towards the cargo on their back. Players will know when they have fully restored the condition of their cargo as the rust will be gone, leaving them with a shiny parcel.

Players cannot fix broken cargo or cargo that enemies and terrain have damaged.
