– In-game Description
Urinating is a feature of Sam in Death Stranding.
Overview[]
Urinate allows Sam to relieve himself when outside the boundaries of hot springs, distribution centers, and other settlements, and it can only be done after consuming liquids from the canteen or in the private room. Although the function is the same, urinating outside or in a private room has two different effects:
- Urinating outside, will grow a mushroom at that location. Mushrooms are visible to all players in a similar fashion to structures and may be given likes. Should enough players urinate in the same spot, the size and cluster of mushrooms will increase. Eventually, the agglomeration of mushrooms will become a colony of cryptobiotes, that will start to swarm around them and can be collected. Unlike cryptobiote hives, mushrooms allow a larger number of cryptobiotes to be collected.
- Urinating in the toilet in a private room will create an EX grenade no. 1, which has a greater effect; it will completely (albeit temporarily) disperse BTs. When Sam has been driven to exhaustion by reducing his stamina cap to 25% or less will cause him to release blood in his urine and create an EX grenade no. 1+, which combines the effect of Sam's urine with that of a hematic grenade; Gazer BTs caught in its effect will be sent back to the Beach, nearby gazers will be repelled, and larger BTs will suffer damage.
Notes[]
- Upon close inspection, the dots on mushrooms are actually small thumbs up emojis.
- Urinating in the presence of BTs will repel them and prevent Sam from being dragged away by tar.
- Sam has some limitations if he has to urinate:
- he cannot urinate within 20m of any structure that has a hologram as its customization option;
- he can not urinate within around 75m of a carried person in a body bag and around 50m of a corpse in a body bag.
- he cannot urinate near or on headstones
- Even if you try to turn the camera to face while Sam is urinating, the courier will always turn away to avoid being seen.
