To defeat a BT in Death Stranding, you need to use your scanner to locate its invisible form. Once spotted, you should slowly move closer and throw a hematite grenade at it or use your strand to immobilize it. Be careful and strategic in your approach to defeat the BT.
Understanding the Enemy
Defeating a BT in Death Stranding requires a good understanding of their mechanics and behavior. BTs are supernatural entities that appear in the world of Death Stranding. They are invisible to the naked eye and can only be seen using your Odradek scanner when you are within their vicinity. BTs are attracted to your bodily fluids, particularly your blood, urine, and feces. When you are near a BT, your Odradek scanner will start to activate and point in the direction of the BT's location.
Preparation is Key
Before facing a BT, there are certain preparations you can make to improve your chances of defeating them. Stock up on weapons such as anti-BT weaponry like hematocrit grenades, hematocrit rounds for your assault rifle, or even a hematic grenade launcher. These weapons are specifically designed to help you combat BTs effectively. Additionally, make sure you have enough blood bags and other supplies to replenish your health during the battle. It's also a good idea to have a BB (Bridge Baby) with you, as they can help detect BTs and warn you of their presence.
Engagement Strategy
When you encounter a BT, it's essential to remain calm and assess the situation. Use your Odradek scanner to locate the BT's position and avoid making any sudden movements that could attract their attention. If you are undetected, you have the advantage of being able to plan your attack. Start by throwing a hematocrit grenade or using your anti-BT weapon of choice to reveal the BT's true form.
Once the BT is revealed, you can start attacking it with your weapons. Aim for the core of the BT, which is usually located in its chest area. Keep in mind that BTs are formidable enemies, and it may take several hits to defeat them. Stay mobile and try to evade the BT's attacks while dealing damage to it. If your health starts to deplete, make sure to replenish it using blood bags or other healing items.
Environmental Considerations
During the battle with a BT, pay attention to your surroundings. BTs can manipulate the environment around them, creating hazards that can harm you. Watch out for black tar-like substances that signal the BT's influence and try to avoid getting caught in them. If you find yourself immobilized by the tar, struggle to break free as quickly as possible to continue the fight. It's also important to be mindful of your stamina and keep an eye on your surroundings to avoid getting cornered by the BT.
Aftermath and Rewards
Once you have defeated a BT, take a moment to catch your breath and assess your condition. Make sure to restock on any supplies you used during the battle and heal any injuries you sustained. Defeating a BT can be a challenging feat, but it comes with rewards such as valuable resources and the satisfaction of overcoming a powerful enemy. Use the experience gained from battling BTs to improve your strategies and become more proficient in dealing with them in future encounters.
