Porters are incredibly important to the world of Death Stranding 2. Forming connections from the safety of one's bunker as a prepper isolated from the world is what helps keep the Chiral Network afloat, and the Porters that roam Australia to deliver cargo are the true heroes. Porters can be found across Australia, and Sam can interact with them by providing them with likes, waves, and snarky comments, but he can also trade with them.

Trading with other Porters is a great way to get some nice gear, but it's also an opportunity to get a rather easy trophy in Death Stranding 2, thanks to the Porters Make the World Go Round trophy, so players can find out exactly how to get it, below.

How to Barter With Another Porter in Death Stranding 2

How to Get the Porters Make the World Go Round Trophy

Players can find NPC Porters that will roam across Australia and Mexico after they complete Order No. 12. While Porters are random, players can find them rather easily heading towards, or close by, major cities and settlements, like West Fort Knot, and across the pathways that are connected by roads and monorails. To easily search for Porters, players should tap L1 to scan the area and locate moving cargo, as Porters will always move in groups of two, which makes them easier to discover since the scanner will locate their cargo.

Once players find a Porter, they can initiate a barter by approaching them. The Porter will release an item they are carrying and hold it out to offer it to Sam, and Sam will want to pick it up, regardless of what it is. Once Sam has taken the Porter's item, players will need to trade one of their own. This can be achieved simply by entering Cargo Management by clicking the Options button, and then dropping a random item, like a Blood Grenade or Container Repair Spray, in front of the Porter. The Porter will pick up the item to conclude the trade, which will then trigger the Porters Make the World Go Round trophy to pop.
