Tools are a category of cargo designed to aid Sam in navigating the harsh terrain of the post-Stranding world. From scaling cliffs to crossing rivers, these specialized instruments enhance a porter’s mobility, safety, and efficiency during deliveries. While lightweight and compact compared to heavy equipment, tools can mean the difference between a successful run and a critical failure in the field.
Available tools[]
Sam has access to a variety of tools designed to help him overcome the challenges of long-range deliveries and hostile environments. The following is a list of tools he can fabricate, equip, and deploy in the field:
- Blood Bags
- Climbing Anchors
- Container Repair Spray
- Ladders
- PCCs
- Smoke-Emitting Decoy Cargo
- Spare Magazine
- Vog-Emitting Decoy Cargo
Acquiring tools[]
Tools, like other equipment, are generally obtained as rewards for completing deliveries or by reaching specific connection levels with facilities. Once Sam acquires a tool—or rather, receives its design data—he can fabricate it using an Access Terminal. Fabrication requires materials, and if a facility lacks the necessary resources, the tool cannot be produced there.
