Traversing through the harsh terrains and exploring the world on foot will deplete the Boots’ durability or the Boot Bar, as most players call it that in Death Stranding 2. Mostly, the new players to the series will recall the boot bar as a Stamina, but it is not. It is the durability of the current boots that Sam is wearing that shows how long the boots will last before wearing out. The boot durability mechanic is not new in the series, as it was in the original game. It is not surprising that the new players might struggle figuring out how to replenish the boot bar to continue the exploration and adventure without much struggle. In this guide, we will tell you how to replenish the boot bar in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach.
The Boot Bar or Boots’ Durability can only be replenished by wearing a new pair of boots in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach. You cannot replenish or refill the boot bar of worn boots. All the boots that you wear for a long time will come close to breaking, leaving Sam barefoot. Sam can no longer sprint barefoot, and it will have a chance of causing foot injuries. So, your only way to continue the journey is to find a new pair of boots and equip them from the Cargo Shelf or Equipment Menu.
There are a couple of methods to get yourself new boots in Death Stranding 2.
The primary method to get yourself new boots is to find them during the exploration. As you traverse through the world, you will walk into various enemy facilities. Make sure to search the facilities thoroughly for any consumables, grenades, weapons, and tools. It will have a high chance of finding some new boots. Store the boots in your equipment so that you can swap when the current boots are about to break.
The secondary, yet finer method is to craft the boots yourself at any Delivery Terminal. However, before you can craft the boots, you first have to unlock their recipe. Fortunately, you can unlock it in the very first chapter while exploring Mexico. All you have to do is find the Cargo for “Bokka”. It will reveal the location on the map. Go there and make the delivery, and he will give you the recipe for Transporter Boots.
Once you have the recipe, go to any Delivery Terminal and select the “Fabricate Equipment” option. Here, you will be able to select the Transporter Boots and craft a pair for 16 Resins. It is a decent price for a pair of boots. It is better to craft a couple and store the others in your equipment, so that you don’t have to worry about the boots on the longer journey.
