All Death Stranding 2 outfits and how to get them

Death Stranding 2 outfits, suits, caps, glasses, hoods, and masks let you customise Sam’s look with a range of different cosmetics but also throw in some cases valuable buffs and perks. These are unlocked as you progress through the main story episodes, but also as rewards for completing specific optional orders and raising the connection level with specific facilities across Mexico and Australia.

It’s worth noting the difference between suits and suits colors: suits are preset styles that can’t be customised while suit colors are used to customise the Normal suit with a range of colors. In this guide, we’ll walk you through all the Death Stranding 2 outfits, suits, caps, and glasses and how to get each one.
