How To Use The Bathroom In Death Stranding

Full Guide Intro

One of the stranger mechanics in Death Stranding allows Sam to relieve himself during his journey across America. Like many systems in a Hideo Kojima game, what starts as a funny feature actually has gameplay benefits attached to it.

Whether you're using the bathroom inside a Private Room or out in the wilderness, there are rewards and interactions tied to the mechanic.

Using The Bathroom In A Private Room

Whenever Sam rests in a Private Room, he can enter the bathroom and interact with the facilities.

Inside the bathroom, players can:

• Urinate while standing.
• Use the toilet while sitting.
• Wash up.

These actions contribute resources that are later converted into specialized equipment designed to help fight BTs.

Afterward, Sam can continue relaxing by changing clothes, drinking beverages, or preparing for the next delivery.

How To Pee Outside

Players can also relieve themselves while exploring the world.

To do this:

1. Open the equipment menu.
2. Select Urinate.
3. Check Sam's bladder meter.
4. Hold L2 to aim.
5. Press R2 to begin.
6. Press right on the D-pad when finished.

Sam will automatically turn away from the camera while relieving himself, keeping things surprisingly modest despite the unusual mechanic.

What Happens When You Pee Outside?

Peeing outdoors creates a Mushroom at the location where Sam relieved himself.

These mushrooms can become community interaction points when multiple players use the same location.

As more players contribute to a mushroom patch, special interactions and rewards may become available.

This is another example of the game's unique social strand system, where players indirectly help and interact with one another.

Why Use The Bathroom?

Using the bathroom isn't just for laughs.

Benefits include:

• Contributing resources for anti-BT equipment.
• Creating mushrooms in the shared world.
• Participating in community interactions.
• Experiencing one of the many unusual systems that make Death Stranding unique.

Like many mechanics in the game, it's optional, but players who regularly use Private Rooms may find some useful rewards waiting for them.
