How and Where to find the Artist Porter in Death Stranding 2

In Death Stranding 2, players will again be lacing up the scuffed boots of Sam Porter Bridges, reconnecting a fractured humanity delivery after delivery. One of the dozens of preppers scattered throughout the game's gorgeous open world, The Artist is a hermit whose lair offers both artistic treasures and tactical resources. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Unlike other major NPCs, The Artist doesn't just show up on your map, you'll have to prove yourself worthy to discover her. Here's a complete tutorial on how to find her hiding place and why you should go the extra mile. A Hidden Outpost: Where to Begin Artist is in Mexico, northwest of the C1 South Distribution Center, nestled into the mountainous landscape. She's hidden away at the start on the map, making the hunt for her very much like an actual adventure. What you need to do to activate The Artist's location Locate a piece of lost cargo addressed to The Artist. Once returned to her, her location is then visible on a map, preparing the way for future visits and deliveries. Run your L1 scanner frequently to identify any unmarked freight along the routes through mountains. Death Stranding 2 Ending Explained This long-gone piece usually comes up when you've ventured far enough to beat your first boss battle and acquire a ride of your own, both things that will make the hunt a whole lot easier. How to Reach The Artist Getting to The Artist's bunker though, that's not quite as easy as following a GPS point. The route is narrow, hilly and curvy, and much of it is hidden by the lush topography markings. Keep this travel tip in mind, head to C1 South Distribution Center Recommended equipment: Plan to use the appropriate vehicle. Ideal would be a bike or small electric pickup. Move people, not traffic, cut the underutilized cargo to move more people more efficiently. Outfit the group with ladder/rope equipment for emergencies/detours. Why Does The Artist Matter Engaging with The Artist is truly an experience beyond an optional side quest. She provides one of the more outlandish reward trees in all of Death Stranding 2, suitable for the player looking to give some pizazz to Sam's otherwise dreary arsenal of equipment. Connection Level Rewards: 1 Star: Color Data: Coyote Brown & Bright Yellow 2 Stars: Color Data: Navy Blue & Volcano Orange, +280 Bandwidth 3 Stars: Color Data: Desert Pink & Ghost Green, more materials 4 Stars: Express Purple & Signal Green, +15 APAS 5 Stars: Sandy Tan & Rose Pink, Custom Hologram: Lauren Tsai, Patch 49: BT Magniceps Not only does connecting your whole network with The Artist add some glorious new cosmetic aesthetic, it completes your Chiral Network map and allows you to rest in the mountain facilities, a huge tactical boon, especially if you find yourself traversing dangerous mountain territory often. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tips and Tricks Take your time, the Artist's remote alpine locale is easy to overlook if you speed through the early story missions. Check frequently for unmarked cargo in the area. Her lost item can appear slightly different places for each player. If you're aiming for the 'Making It Your Own' trophy, prioritize connection, her cosmetic rewards towards that trophy. Where to Find The Artist in Death Stranding 2 Finding The Artist can require some patience at times, but it's a worthwhile detour, aesthetically, story-wise, and tactically. In a game that's all about building bridges, maybe it's more often the small, hidden-away connections that count.
