This article is about the melee weapon. For other uses of the term "strand", see Strand (disambiguation). |
The Strand is a non-lethal anti-personnel weapon used by Sam during his expedition.
Overview[]
The Strand is a cord infused with Sam's blood, it can be used by Sam to defend himself and approach combat. It's a non-lethal weapon that can be used to silently knock out and deal damage to enemies from behind and parry upcoming melee attacks, with the right timing, making the enemies to lose balance and following up with a powerful non-lethal attack.
It can also be used to tie down cargo on a vehicle to secure it by preparing it, simply by approaching the cargo (even in an area you can’t normally use weapons) and using it.
Notes[]
- The strand is not only the object representative of Sam, but also of the theme of the entire game.
- The strand is the best weapon to use against Higgs during the boss battle.
