[Order No.42] Escape the Battlefield
Where the mission begins: Mama's Laboratories.
Rewards: motorcycle, Handgun (level 2).
The Order No.42 begins with the fifth chapter of Death Stranding. Completing this task will be much easier if you play online. This way you can count on the help of other players who have built roads/bridges/view towers. If you have to craft any of the mechanisms by yourself, it will take you a lot of time and you may lose high amount of resources.
If you don't want to waste valuable resources and you have a lot of valuable time in stock, you can take a way around. On the map above we have marked a path you need to travel with if you want to complete the task without creating a bridge.
You can ride through the first part of the route on a motorcycle. You vehicle will get you to your destination much faster.
However, you have to walk on foot in the mountains. It would be best if you took ladders or climbing equipment with you. That way you can make things easier.
When you get there, pick up all the stuff - four parcels. They are located on both sides of the river.
Remember not to enter the water, especially with while using the motorcycle. If you do so, you may drown. The water is too deep for you to swim or move freely in it.
Once you have collected all the raw materials, head to the location to return the collected goods. This will complete the mission.
[Order No.41] Building Materials Delivery: Waystation North of Mountain Knot City
Where the mission begins: Waystation North of Mountain Knot City.
Rewards: a new location, Armour Plate (1), Non-Lethal Assault Rifle (1).
The task consists in delivering the package to the next location. There will be enemies on your way, which you can defeat or avoid. The rest of the route should pass without any additional problems. All you have to do is to deliver an undamaged package to your destination.
[Order No.43] Blood Delivery: Distribution Center North of Mountain Knot
Where the mission begins: Waystation North of Mountain Knot City.
Rewards: a new location, Assault Rifle (2), Non-Lethal Assault Rifle (2).
You have 40 minutes to complete this task. All you have to do is take a specific route and hand over a valuable cargo on the spot. There shouldn't be occur any danger or threat among your path.
[Order No.44] Antimatter Bomb Delivery: Mountain Wick City
Where the mission begins: Distribution Center North of the Mountain Knot City.
Rewards: none.
Your job consists in delivering a bomb to the Mountain Knot. Remember that this is a charge which is very delicate and you cannot expose it to any sort of turbulence.
If your cargo takes too much damage, e.g. from falls, mountain bumps or if it gets wet, it may explode. Therefore, the task won't be completed.
Riding in the mountains is very dangerous. After a moment of shock, the bomb will explode on your back. Try to be extremely gentle, so don't expose it to too much turbulence.
After delivering the bomb, head to the Mama's Laboratory. There you will get another mission.
[Order No.46] Mama Delivery: Mountain Knot City
Where the mission begins: Mama's Laboratory.
Rewards: a new location, Stabilizer.
After completing 44th order in Death Stranding, you must go to Mama's Laboratory. After a short cut-scene, you will receive another order. It consists in transporting Mama to the South Knot.
As soon as you leave the lab, you'll come across a four-legged beast. Hematic Grenade and Anti-BT Handgun are the perfect weapons to defeat it.
Your character may have trouble with maintaining balance while Mama's resting on your back. So try to always stand on some buildings/cars to avoid falling into the tar. Attack your enemy only when it appears in front of you. Then you can be sure that it will not avoid your attacks. Also, you will not lose valuable ammunition.
In the combat and important duels chapter (that occur in Death Stranding) we have described this battle in more detail. Check out the How to defeat the four-legged beast of our guide to get all the necessary information about this battle.
You can travel most of the way on a motorcycle. This will significantly speed up the delivery time of your shipment.
The terrain you have to explore is not the most pleasant. At some point, you will find yourself on snow-covered mountains, which you will have to cross on foot with a very heavy and bulky cargo. Be careful not to make any sudden movements that could lead to your imminent death.
Completion of this task will start the next chapter of the game.
