How to return to Mexico in Death Stranding 2?
(Image via Kojima) In Death Stranding 2 , your journey starts in Mexico, but with Australia being the next big destination, many players rush ahead and forget to explore everything the first region has to offer. Then the regret kicks in: Did I miss something? Can I even go back? Don't worry. You absolutely can return to Mexico, and it's easier than you think. When Can You Go Back to Mexico? The moment you reach Australia and gain access to the main traversal tools, Mexico becomes available again. It's not locked off or time-sensitive. There's no point of no return. So even if you've already spent hours on the Australian continent, you can still backtrack whenever you're ready. How To Get Back To Mexico In Death Stranding 2 Where's the Portal Between Continents? To switch continents manually, look for the Plate Gate—this is your main bridge between Mexico and Australia. In Australia, you'll find it in the southwest region, close to the zone you originally landed in. Walk into the Plate Gate and you'll be transported straight to the Mexico Plate Gate, just like that. No long cutscene. No fuss. It's a walk-in, walk-out portal—making continent-hopping a core part of your exploration rather than a one-time event. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Избавляемся от боли в суставах с помощью натуральных средств!
