Stuck scaling steep cliffs or icy mountain paths in
Death Stranding 2
? You're not alone. While fancy bikes and monorails are great, there are missions where brute climbing is your only option.
That's where the Climbing Power Gloves come in. These game-changers help you grip better, climb faster, and even grab cargo more efficiently.
Here's exactly how to get them in
DS2
.
Step 1: Progress Through the Main Story
Before you can even think about these gloves, you'll need to move ahead in the main campaign. The Climbing Power Gloves aren't available early on — they're tied to a main mission that's critical to the story.
Keep playing until you're given Main Order 37, which sends you into the harsh, icy mountains.

Step 2: Rescue the Adventurer (Main Order 37)
This is
the
mission that unlocks the gloves.
In this mission, you have to rescue the Adventurer stranded in the freezing mountains. It's a bit of a trek, but once you get through the snow, deliver the cargo, and link the facility to the Chiral Network using your Q-Pid, you'll hit Connection Level 1.
Once you've reached the Adventurer and successfully brought him back, you'll complete the mission and unlock a connection to his facility.

Step 3: Connect to the Chiral Network
After the rescue, use your
Q-Pid
to connect the
Adventurer's base
to the
Chiral Network
. This is a critical step — without establishing this connection, you won't unlock the crafting blueprint for the gloves.
Once connected, your relationship with the Adventurer will reach Level 1, and you'll receive the blueprint for
Climbing Power Gloves (Level 1).
Step 4: Fabricate the Gloves
With the blueprint unlocked, head to any delivery terminal and fabricate the gloves. Here's what you'll need:
60 Resins
30 Metals
10 Special Alloys
These materials are pretty common, so it shouldn't be hard to craft them immediately.

Step 5: Upgrade the Gloves (Optional, But Recommended)
If you want even better grip and climbing efficiency, keep delivering cargo to the Adventurer. Reach Connection Level 3, and you'll unlock the Level 2 version of the gloves. These come with improved durability and performance, especially useful during long, steep missions.
What Else Can the Gloves Do?
These gloves aren't just for mountain goats:
Improve grip strength for faster vertical climbs.
Reduce stamina loss on steep slopes.
Let you grab cargo from a distance, even while driving a vehicle like the Pickup Off-Roader.
They're basically Sam's best friends when the roads run out.
Climbing Power Gloves aren't just gear; they're essential tools for survival in Death Stranding 2's toughest environments. Get through Main Order 37, rescue the Adventurer, and gear up for smoother climbs ahead.
