Chiral Crystals are going to be one of the most essential resources in Death Stranding 2: On The Beach. Whether you're building structures, fueling gadgets, or unlocking advanced tools, these radioactive little shards are everywhere, and yet never enough.
Here's a quick and crystal-clear guide on how to farm them fast and efficiently.
1. Pick Them Up While Exploring
When you're out and about exploring in the game, keep your eyes peeled for glowing, spiky formations poking out of the earth. These are Chiral Crystals.
Walk up to them, interact, and they're yours. Just don't forget—your Crystal Carrier has a weight limit. If you're serious about farming, invest in Carrier upgrades early on to hold more per trip.
It's basic, it's chill, and it works.

2. Defeat BTs (But With Strategy)
The BTs are back—and they're even nastier. But guess what? They're also a goldmine for Chiral Crystals.
Take them down using Hematic grenades, anti-BT weapons, or stealth takedowns. Every BT you eliminate drops a nice chunk of crystals. Some even have trailing tails—cutting those earns you crystals without needing a full-on fight.
Pro tip? Focus on areas with frequent BT activity.
It's risky, but the payout is worth it.
3. Revisit After Timefall Storms
Timefall isn't just dangerous—it's profitable. After a Timefall storm sweeps through an area, new Chiral Crystal deposits spawn in the aftermath. These zones are often crawling with BTs or harsh terrain, so scout and plan your route carefully.
Once the storm clears, revisit these spots to harvest. The crystals often appear in clusters, so a single post-storm run can be seriously lucrative.

4. Revisit Boss Zones
Some mini-boss fights and story zones also leave behind fat stacks of crystals. After major encounters or intense cinematic moments, take a look around before you dip. You might be walking away from free loot without realizing it.
Bonus Tip: Use the
Odradek Scanner
The Odradek scanner isn't just for detecting enemies—it's also your best tool for spotting nearby Chiral Crystals. Use it frequently while exploring or navigating BT zones.
