All Facility Locations: Death Stranding Guide

Every Facility Location in Death Stranding serves as a critical hub for Sam’s continental journey, providing essential services and story progression points across the fragmented United Cities of America. The Death Stranding Interactive Map filters these locations to help you plan efficient delivery routes and ensure you never miss a connection point that could unlock new areas or gameplay mechanics. These facilities form the backbone of the chiral network, representing humanity’s attempts to reconnect isolated settlements and rebuild civilization after the Death Stranding event.
What Facility Location Are Used For
Facility Location markers represent the essential infrastructure points that drive Death Stranding’s core gameplay loop of reconnection and delivery. Each facility type offers unique services and plays a specific role in expanding your operational capabilities.
- Establish fast-travel points through the chiral network
- Access fabrication terminals for crafting equipment and structures
- Store cargo and manage inventory between long-distance deliveries
- Unlock new story missions and character interactions
- Expand your delivery network to reach previously inaccessible areas
Facility Location Types
The map categorizes facilities into three distinct types, each serving different functions in Sam’s mission to reconnect America.
Point of Interest
These locations mark significant landmarks and story-relevant sites scattered throughout the wilderness. Points of Interest often contain memory chips, environmental storytelling elements, or serve as waypoints for major delivery routes. Many become crucial navigation references when planning cross-country journeys through challenging terrain.
Prepper Shelter
Independent survivalist bunkers operated by individuals who’ve chosen isolation over reconnection to the chiral network. Prepper Shelters require careful relationship building through successful deliveries before they’ll join your network. Once connected, they provide unique fabrication blueprints and serve as strategic outposts in remote regions where UCA facilities don’t exist.
UCA Facility
Official United Cities of America installations that form the primary nodes of the chiral network infrastructure. UCA Facilities offer the most comprehensive services including advanced fabrication options, major cargo storage, and serve as chapter progression points. These locations are typically larger, more secure, and provide the backbone for expanding network coverage across each region.
How to Use the Map Efficiently
Strategic facility planning prevents backtracking and ensures you maintain optimal cargo capacity while exploring Death Stranding’s vast territories.
- Connect facilities in order of network expansion to unlock fast-travel between regions
- Prioritize UCA Facilities first for major story progression and core services
- Use Prepper Shelters as secondary objectives when carrying compatible cargo nearby
- Plan routes around facility clusters to minimize time spent crossing dangerous BT territories
- Mark Points of Interest along established delivery routes for efficient collection runs
- Always carry standard orders for nearby facilities to maximize relationship building opportunities
Facility Location Locations Table
Each facility type offers distinct advantages for different aspects of your delivery operations.
| Type | Primary Function | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Point of Interest | Navigation landmarks and lore | Memory chips, environmental storytelling, route markers |
| Prepper Shelter | Independent survivor outposts | Unique blueprints, remote area coverage, relationship building |
| UCA Facility | Official network infrastructure | Full services, story progression, major fast-travel hubs |
Tips for Facility Location Hunting
- Carry multiple delivery types to efficiently connect several facilities in one journey
- Use vehicles when possible to reach distant facilities faster and carry heavier cargo loads
- Check weather conditions before attempting deliveries to mountain or coastal facilities
- Build roads and structures to create permanent access routes to frequently visited locations
- Prioritize facilities that unlock new fabrication options for improved equipment access
- Save facility connections in areas with heavy BT presence for daylight hours when possible
FAQs
Do all facilities need to be connected to complete the story?
Only UCA Facilities are required for main story progression, while Prepper Shelters and Points of Interest are optional but provide valuable rewards and enhanced gameplay options.
Can you fast-travel between all connected facilities?
Fast-travel is available between most connected facilities on the chiral network, though some remote Prepper Shelters may have restrictions or require specific story progress to unlock travel access.
What happens if you miss connecting a facility during the main story?
All facilities remain accessible after completing the main story, allowing you to return and connect any missed locations for completion rewards and network expansion.
Do facility connections carry over between playthroughs?
Facility connections reset with each new game, but the Director’s Cut includes quality of life improvements that make reconnecting previously discovered locations more efficient on subsequent playthroughs.
