10 Video Game Rewards You Unlock For Doing Completely Mundane Things
10. Take A Shower, Get Grenades - Death Stranding
Being a Kojima game, Death Stranding obviously has plenty of silly and over-the-top moments. Now, spending time in your bathroom doesn’t really seem like something that belongs in the latter category, but once you realize there is a certain mechanic attached to it, it’ll quickly become part of one of the most exciting moments you can experience in the game.
The mechanic in question is a special processing system installed in main character Sam’s quarters. The system turns all of the waste produced by him taking a shower or using the toilet into grenades. Yes, your pee, poop, and filth can be repurposed into explosives.
Given how rare weapons are in Death Stranding, you’ll quickly learn to appreciate your alone time in the bathroom. You’ll especially appreciate it when Sam needs to go number 2, as his bathroom break will result in producing the highest tier of grenades, the appropriately named EX Grenades 2. These grenades allow you to clump enemies together, which, combined with EX Grenades 1+ that make enemies disappear, makes for a rather effective combo. Just don’t mind the smell.
