What are MP Bullets, and what do they do in Death Stranding 2?
In
Death Stranding 2
, the world is wild, weird, and filled with threats that range from rogue humans to mechanical enemies and eerie BTs. One of the most versatile tools Sam Porter Bridges can use? MP Bullets.
But what are they exactly? And how do they work? Let's break it down.
What Exactly Are MP Bullets?
MP Bullets could be 'Multipurpose Bullets' (though not confirmed in-game) and are a unique type of ammo found in several weapons in
Death Stranding 2
, starting early with the Assault Rifle [MP] Lv1. These bullets are designed to work on
all
types of enemies: humans, mechs, and BTs. That makes MP weapons insanely versatile, especially as the game's combat scenarios get more intense and diverse.
How To Shoot MP Bullets In Death Stranding 2
Are They Effective Right Away?
Yes… and no.
Right from the beginning, MP Bullets can be used against human enemies and robotic threats. So if you're dealing with MULEs or machines, you're good to go. But here's the catch — they
don't
work on BTs at first. You'll still need to rely on Blood Grenades or other anti-BT gear for those ghostly encounters.
When Do MP Bullets Start Working on BTs?
You'll unlock their full potential during Order No. 005, a mission that involves delivering Prototype MP Bullets to the Former Geophysics Research Lab. Once you complete that delivery,
all
MP weapons will gain the anti-BT effect permanently.
Just a heads-up: during this mission, you're only carrying the prototype as cargo — you can't use it to fight BTs yet. But once it's delivered, every MP Bullet you use will pack a punch against them.
Are MP Bullets Lethal?
Not against humans — and that's a good thing.
One of the best things about MP weapons is that they're non-lethal when used on human enemies. If you're trying to clear out MULEs or other hostiles without triggering the consequences of lethal force, MP Bullets are your go-to.
They'll neutralize threats without killing them — perfect for stealthy, non-lethal runs.
But when it comes to BTs? It's a different story. MP Bullets will kill BTs once the anti-BT effect is unlocked, making them an essential tool for late-game encounters.
How To Carry MORE Ammo - Death Stranding 2 Tips & Tricks Beginner Guide
Should You Still Carry Blood Grenades?
Absolutely. Even after unlocking MP Bullets' full potential, Blood Grenades remain incredibly useful, especially in situations where crowd control or area damage is needed.
Think of MP Bullets as your default weapon and Blood Grenades as your backup for trickier fights.
MP Bullets are the Swiss army knife of
Death Stranding 2
combat — adaptable, efficient, and unlockable fairly early in the game. Whether you're fighting a squad of MULEs, facing down a mech, or navigating a Timefall-infested area full of BTs, MP bullets have your back (eventually).

Ease of Doing Business cell launched in Karnataka
BENGALURU: In a bid to support the state's growing network of Global Capability Centers (GCCs), Minister for IT/BT and Electronics Priyank Kharge launched KATALYST, an Ease of Doing Business (EoDB) cell on Monday. The initiative, aligned with the state's GCC Policy 2024-29, will serve as a single-window platform to streamline new investments and fast-track approvals. The announcement came on Monday during a CEO Breakfast Meet hosted by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar, which brought together over 200 industry leaders from various sectors, ahead of the Bengaluru Tech Summit (BTS), scheduled for November 18-20. Siddaramaiah said Karnataka remains India's largest software-exporting state, contributing 44% of the country's software exports and the government's goal is to add 500 more GCCs by 2029, creating 3.5 lakh jobs and generating $50 billion in economic output. He added that new tech clusters will be developed outside Bengaluru to ensure balanced growth. Outlining Karnataka's vision, the CM said, 'We want the state to be the place where the world comes to solve its biggest challenges - whether it is curing diseases, developing sustainable energy solutions, or building computers of the future. We will provide the talent, infrastructure, and policy support.' Shivakumar said the upcoming BTS-2025 should send a strong message to the world about the city's global standing in the IT sector. He highlighted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's recent visit to inaugurate the Namma Metro Yellow Line, noting that the PM had acknowledged Bengaluru's status as a 'global city'. He credited former CM SM Krishna's IT policy for laying the foundation for this growth. Appealing to companies, Shivakumar urged them to direct their CSR funds towards developing government schools in rural areas. 'Don't give us money, build the schools directly. If you give us money, you will have to pay 18% tax on it,' he said. With 50,000 government teacher posts vacant, Shivakumar said private schools are being encouraged to take responsibility for rural institutions. During the event, Kharge unveiled plans for the 28th edition of BTS and said that the event, themed around 'Futurise', will bring together over one lakh attendees from more than 60 countries.
