How to unlock the Best Beloved achievement in DEATH STRANDING - Definitive Guide

A long trophy, but as you complete it, Sam will be fully upgraded and almost all other achievements will be completed.

You can pump up turnips with difficult-to-reach settlements (located in a lowland or on top of a mountain) like this: entangle the immediate surroundings with 6-8 cables, so that between them you can comfortably move from the surrounding settlements to the desired one, jump back and forth with deliveries. Once the reputation in the desired location is maximal, the cables can be removed so that they do not unnecessarily load the chiral network.

I recommend that you immediately go through and open settlements that are not sent to in the plot, for example, such as the Writer’s Son or the Collector . This is necessary so that they also start issuing deliveries and can do everything along the way. It is very easy to understand that there is an undiscovered settlement in some zone: In map mode, unexplored areas will be shaded dark.

Ideally, in the process of pumping up settlements, closer to 80% of the stars can be covered with cables. part of the map, especially if you're lucky with the placement of other players' cables. I advise you to place it everywhere, with the exception of the Lake Knot area, all neighboring places ( Ragman , Master , Engineer , etc.) are pumped up quite quickly at the expense of each other by driving along the road.

Robots will also help with pumping, especially when there are 3 of them. They almost always break the entire load, but always give at least a drop from reputation. I recommend sending it to settlements that you rarely visit; by the time you visit them, you will already have a small supply.

If you are experiencing difficulties with leveling up a particular village, then use the list below at the LINK and look at the “ To: ” item, look for where to get such an order, take its complicated version, and hand it over.
For example, from the Capital Node you can take two orders at once for the Musician ( 110, 111 ), in the Distributor , which on the way to the Musician there is another order 132 , for a total of 3 orders for 1 run.

Do not deliver other players' cargo from a shared warehouse. You will get likes, but will not improve your relationship.

If a settlement appears that "oink, moo, I won't join", the order is as follows:
1) read all mail (including letters from this person)
2) go to rest/sleep
3) you receive a new letter from this person
4) make one order/lost cargo
5) go to bed again and do it all over again until he stops showing off.

Regarding the Collector, the Writer's Son, the Old Courier and the First Survivalist.

Find them on the map. Everyone except the writer's son will have an order in the terminal. You activate the writer’s son by finding a lost cargo in his name in the area next to him (the same story with the Luden Lover on the first map). Next, complete their order. Sleep twice, two letters should arrive! You complete a new order from them, or take an order from others. You can see where to take orders in the tip above. They will connect to the network. Again, you sleep twice, you receive two letters. Fulfill an order or steal from others. They connect to UCA and lost cargo for them will appear on the map. Then you collect them or fulfill orders.

They write that you cannot deliver all cargo up to 3 stars. It’s possible, they won’t give you stars - don’t be alarmed. As soon as the object connects to UCA and you hand over any order to them or any lost cargo, all likes will be counted for old orders. So, if the route is convenient, immediately fulfill their orders or carry orders from others. It so happened that the old courier, survivalist and collector were completed right after the 3rd star. I found a lost cargo not far from them for 50 likes, handed it over and immediately gave it the remaining 2 stars.

For 5 stars, 5-6 orders are required.

The simplest son of the writer, there are many orders for him at the distributor near the mountain junction. You complete one, and a new one immediately appears, and going there is nothing.

Fan of the Ludens. To connect, you need to bring action figures. Find the lost cargo in the location (near the distributor west of the Capital Node, scan ) or from a shared storage.

If you're like me, you've essentially leveled everything before moving on to the Edge Knot, but you're still having trouble leveling up Peter Englert. Most likely, the last time you delivered him an order was from Mountain Knot. Then after parts 9-10 (in parts 15 exactly ), you will receive a letter (from Peter Englert), where he asks you to deliver him pizza from the First Survivalist again.
We go to him, take the order, deliver the pizza. We immediately receive 5 stars, + recipes for improved weapons (5 pieces).

To distant, hard-to-reach places, such as the first survivalist and the old courier, deliver cargo one at a time, even if you have several of them with you.

Here I described in detail my theory of cargo delivery and added a video with proof.

If you can’t find the letter you need, go to the senders tab. I did this myself with a veteran. I didn’t want to upgrade at all. It turned out that one letter was lost somewhere.

Connections with distant survivalists are much easier to download than nodes. It is enough for a survivalist to train the loads that are lying around his home, and the connection grows very quickly.
To upgrade nodes, you definitely need a road and large orders that can be delivered by car. They provide a lot of connection.

The main thing for survivalists in the mountains is to upgrade them to the 3rd star. The 4th and 5th are obtained even without orders. Just find the cargo that is addressed to them somewhere near their location and bring it to them. 1 group = 1 star.
The hardest ones to level up are Sam Lake (Old Courier) and Jordan Voth-Roberts (First Survivalist). There are very few orders for them from other shelters

Director's Cut added backpack stripes for achieving the maximum connection level with each individual shelter. If someone hasn’t upgraded a barely noticeable part, then you don’t have to run all over the map, but in your personal room you can see whose stripes are there and whose ones aren’t yet.

You can pump by repeating the same deliveries.

To upgrade the collector, you need to take a load labeled PlayStation in the southern node once a day.

If there are perfectly constructed cables on the map, be sure to come and like it by pressing the touchpad. Next, click options and scroll left. Open the “Bridges-connections” tab. Open the third section (people you liked) and conclude a Thread Agreement with them (triangle on the gamepad). Thus, you will see almost all the buildings of these players (and since he started building them, there will be a lot of buildings on the map). When you have a list of 10-15 people, your entire map will be filled with cables and useful buildings. In addition, you will not have a loaded chiral network and you will be able to build additional cables and buildings, which will greatly speed up the delivery of goods.

If you point at a shelter in the map menu and press triangle, a list of currently open orders for that location will pop up. Very convenient when you need to finish off points like the Old Courier.

I'll add a little hint. Be careful when sending the robot to a point where there is 2-5% missing from the end of any star. After the robot arrives, they will not give anything to the star. Sam needs to come in person. However, it still counts, even though it is not visible. Just complete any order to this point yourself and the experience will go to the stars again. For so long I sent the robot to a point where it was just a little short of 5 stars. In the end, I came myself and they immediately boosted my reputation.

There is no point in downloading at the end of Chapter 8 (and it won’t work, since the fifth pizza delivery will become available a little later). All buildings are reborn after the game is completed. There is no point in worrying about infrastructure

I rocked like this.

Firstly: first I upgraded everything on the second map. There are most nodes there. I returned to the first map after completing the game, without worrying about the condition of the cables and roads on the second map.

Secondly: I hardly slept in shelters, except for complete fatigue, when Sam did not give the opportunity to play and asked for rest; Why? Because with each rest your buildings break down faster. As a result, by the end of the game, not a single building of mine was broken. Except maybe a couple of stairs.

Thirdly: Until I upgraded almost all the buildings on the second map, I didn’t move on to the Episode with Hartman and the tar belt, essentially the finale of the game. Because it takes a very long time and distracts from the main task

And the last thing: it’s better to immediately after THIS achievement run around the map and find all the flash drives for the next achievement, so that when you need to receive letters and sleep for them, you don’t have to worry about the fact that most of the cables and roads important for the routes will break.

There was a problem with the First Survivalist , I’ll write so that you don’t worry:
It was not active for me until I ordered it from Higgs. He had an order - go and bring something from the mules, otherwise they would steal it. Since I was in a hurry to deliver the last order to Higgs, I, of course, did not take the order for mule shooting. And when I returned to the prepper, he didn’t have this order!
But the Distributor south of Lake Knot has an order for a prepper, and when you turn it in, the required order will appear.

1. Upgrade non-story characters first. First survivor, old courier, etc. Firstly, they are the most hemorrhagic, and secondly, the Collector, for example, will give you a casing for your backpack, which protects the cargo from destruction by temporal rain. The spiritual seeker gives a keychain for a backpack, which increases the number of likes. The tactics are simple. First, bring lost cargo or small orders to the characters, but do not bring them with a large number of likes. They don't give the first star until they receive an email after completing the order. Those. you need to either walk around the world for a certain number of hours, or sleep in a shelter for this letter to arrive. Then they only give the first star, and the same with the second. But on the third star, take bold orders with a lot of likes for them. In general, stay up too often just to receive emails. During sleep, buildings deteriorate faster. If you complete several orders from other nodes, then after this time the letter may also arrive; you do not need to sleep.
2. All orders can be repeated after a certain time. For example, why fulfill 30 small orders if you can re-bring one or two orders for 1000-4000 likes to the south node or another large node? It will level up very quickly, just like with everyone else. There are very few orders for a photographer, for example, or a cosplayer; it’s easier to go through several large orders for them than to bother with small ones of 20 likes. But of course, for this you need to first rebuild all the cables and the road network. And take only special deliveries on Legend of Legends.

Hermits swing like this.

First, you need to find them, open the map, press p3 and look where the dark sectors are.

Then we drag the lost container, or complete the task that you receive on the spot.

To get a second star you need to go to sleep and read the letter.
This must be done after every star!
If there is no letter, then jump from hub to hub by teleport, only two letters are given at a time, sooner or later the one you need will come, just don’t push poor Fragile too hard.

Without reading the letter, there will be no magic.

The third star and the fourth, be careful here, if you have several cargoes, it is better to put them in storage because only one is counted. One star - one order.

And the last fifth star. Be careful, the Writer's Son may have literally a millimeter left to level up, and then you will panic and think that the trophy is glitchy. Like me .
This means you need a letter with an exclamation point.

I highly recommend opening all the settlements in advance and then calmly delivering orders, since I left 3 settlements for last and it was very cumbersome to look for their missions from other customers, of which there are quite a few on the map.

For those who have problems with leveling up their settlements (the Writer’s Son, the old courier and others), wait for messages from them by email and complete tasks from other shelters + don’t forget to rest.

Also upgrade shelters/settlements in the order the plot tells you, from top to bottom and from right to left, it will take you less time to upgrade your mountain shelters, because there will be a lot of network power and you can easily build up the entire mountain with cables.

Do not send robots for delivery on time, choose other categories, and take the time for yourself.

PS On the first map, do not forget to find the “Musician” settlement.

PSS all mini screensavers shower/cargo delivery/vacation etc. can be skipped to the options button (saves a lot of gaming time)

At the time of pumping up settlements, I found such a moment. There are lost cargo lying around the game, they are highlighted in blue, if you bring them to the desired settlement, then points are counted as a task.
You just need to find the blue lost cargoes!! It must be carried only to the place indicated on the cargo. You cannot take lost cargo at outposts and carry it to the places you need, the game marks them in green and does not give points for upgrading the building.

As a result, you complete tasks and along the way look for cargo from the settlements you need. The further you find the cargo from the settlement, the more points it gives. On average, from 60-240 points for the cargo itself, plus charges will go for delivery, time, cargo integrity, etc.

Be careful with leveling up your reputation, this became a stumbling block to my platinum.
I even had to create a topic on the forum
In general, I am one of those who had to run around everyone in order and do one more quest for each survivalist. In my case, the last star was under-inflated by 2-3% for the chiral woman. In pause mode, it is IMPOSSIBLE to see the resupply of stars with such a % as mine. I confirm that there is no glitch with the achievement, you need to look for your turnip joint.
P.S.
There is no need to upgrade your reputation with the courier; you can safely go after him and his friend when you meet.

To achieve this you do not need to upgrade Mom and the third location.
Also, if you are worried that you did not have time to upgrade your connection with Peter Englert before the battle with Higgs (you will understand from the plot if you read the mail), then do not worry - you will receive letters with “One more last pizza”. There will be just enough to upgrade your connection to 5 stars.

I practically didn’t bother, I just fulfilled the toughest orders. If a settlement doesn’t have enough experience for literally half a star, then there’s no need to look for new orders, we just carry out the old ones. In my opinion, it’s not worth installing cables everywhere; I made my own “web” this way: Mountain Knot-Doctor-Photographer (on the way down). On the way up: Mountain Knot - Roboticist - Mountain Dweller - Survivalist - Spiritual Seeker. (To the left of the mountain node). Mountain Knot-Hartman-Evobiologist-Palaeontologist-Geologist-
Proctologist (Joke) - Veteran Courier - Temporal Farm - Cosplayer - Collector - South Knot - Ragman - Chiral Artist - Director - Lake Knot. You can, of course, include the Weather Station and Peter Englert in this equation, but there is very little energy in the chiral network, you will either have to spend money on cable upgrades, or, which is much simpler, just lay a road wherever possible, although this takes a lot of time, especially expensive ones pieces in the mountainous areas, for which you have to chip in the whole world one by one, but then you don’t have to worry about the most distant and loaded orders at all, since the road connects all the nodes on the map, it doesn’t waste battery power, the creatures and mules will no longer bother you. The only thing that infuriates is the stoppage of transport during a sudden power outage, and the subsequent connection of Odradek, it is unpleasant when control is taken away for 20 seconds without the ability to skip again and again. I finished the trophy at the 90th hour, after the passage, during the passage I tried to pump up the settlements almost immediately after opening, especially between settlements close to each other, and useful items are poured out, and you pump up not too bad, less running around later.
