Fast travel comes in many different forms when exploring the open world of Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. Kojima Productions has been far more generous with this mechanic in the sequel, allowing you to jump across Australia and Mexico with relative freedom using a load of different methods.

You can hop aboard the DHV Magellan, soak in a magical teleporting hot spring, or use the Beach to travel across continents in a matter of seconds. If you don’t fancy walking or using a variety of vehicles to cross both countries, there are other ways to get around. Here's how.

How To Fast Travel Using The DHV Magellan

In the first ten hours or so of Death Stranding 2, you will be expected to go it alone without the means of fast travel. This makes sense, considering you are linking up two different places for the first time and building the roads and rails, and other amenities required to make this a reality.

So, it isn’t until you reach West Fort Knot and encounter Higgs and confront his deadly army of ghost mechs for the first time that fast travel becomes available. Defeat the octopus mech boss battle that emerges when you’re about to connect West Fort Knot to the chiral network, and you will unlock the game’s first form of fast travel.

The DHV Magellan will emerge from the tar currents just outside the city before Tarman and company let Sam know that he can now use the vessel to travel underground to anywhere in the world you’ve visited before. Well, so long as it’s directly linked to a porter on the network.

In order to activate fast travel, enter the pause menu and hold the 'X' button to chart a course using the DHV Magellan. It doesn't matter whether you're on board or not, it will still work as intended.

How To Fast Travel Using Hot Springs

By the time you encounter your first hot spring in Death Stranding 2, you’ll likely have been using the DHV Magellan to get around for dozens of hours.

Your first hot spring can be found after visiting Heartman’s Lab, in which he will explain not only the benefits of having a good soak, but also how these new structures can be used as a way for Sam to perform ‘Hot Spring Jumps’ to other springs across the open world.

How To Fast Travel Using Transponders

Transponders are the final form of fast travel to be unlocked in Death Stranding 2, and also the most convenient when it comes to traveling to major locations and completing orders. You won't unlock them until much later in the campaign when endgame deliveries become more paramount.

You can interact with these like any other structure in the game, pick a location, and then do a beach jump to hop across the open world instantaneously. However, they come with many of the shortcomings associated with fast travel via hot springs and the DHV Magellan.

Cargo can’t make the jump and will be placed in a private locker unique to each transponder or hot spring the second you travel, while vehicles can’t make the jump either. Fast travel is a more convenient and accessible tool in the sequel, but it can’t be used as a shortcut when beating quests while reaping the same rewards.
