Death Stranding 2: On the Beach trophies and achievements
Death Stranding 2 has 55 trophies and a platinum held by 6.1%. Finishing the story is managed by 44.5%: 38.4 points separate the ending from the platinum, and almost all of it is post-game.
The wall is Connecting Hearts and Minds, raising all 42 facilities to level 5, at 6.6%: half a point above the platinum. Behind it, Seasoned Porter (7.3%), which asks for 30 S ranks on Casual difficulty or higher, and Master Builder (7.5%), with two structures the profile does not even track.
One playthrough, nothing missable, and two trophies that need a connection. Between 70 and 100 hours.

Where to start
- First of all, understand the wall: all 42 facilities at level 5. Connecting the optional ones as you go through the story saves half the post-game. All 42 facilities to level 5: the trophy that is the platinum →
- Learn the S-rank rules before Episode 3: the lowest difficulty does not count, and lowering it with orders accepted voids them. Seasoned Porter: 30 S ranks and the difficulty rule that voids them →

Common questions about Death Stranding 2: On the Beach trophies
Is the Death Stranding 2 platinum hard?
We score it 4 out of 10. There is no pure-skill trophy: the most demanding, Seasoned Porter, asks for 30 S ranks while taking almost no damage.
What makes it rare is the volume: Connecting Hearts and Minds, all 42 facilities at level 5, is held by 6.6% and the platinum by 6.1%. Whoever finishes the facilities platinums.
How many hours and playthroughs does it take?
One playthrough, between 70 and 100 hours. There is no New Game+: finishing the story opens Episode 17, a post-game with the whole map, where you raise whatever facilities are left.
What shortens the total most is connecting the optional facilities during the story and switching on the APAS enhancement that cuts standby time on standard orders.
Are there missable or online trophies?
None is missable: the whole map, the facilities and the orders all remain available in Episode 17.
Two need a connection: Promising Signs, which means placing an online aid request sign, and A Premier Porter, because one of its five categories is fed by other players. PS Plus is not required.
