In DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH, “Likes” are more than just a social media mechanic—they are the core currency of your progression. If you want the Drawbridge Assault Rifle, the All-Terrain Skeleton V3, or crucial upgrades for the DHV Magellan mobile base, you need to grind out 5-star connection ratings. But in the harsh new environments of the Decima Engine—featuring flash floods, desert storms, and lethal BT encounters—delivering cargo perfectly to earn those massive Like payouts is incredibly difficult.
In this comprehensive guide, we will break down the fastest, most efficient ways to farm Likes and level up your connections.
More importantly, we will address the harsh reality of the game’s server-side mechanics and reveal how using the XMODhub PC Trainer can exponentially speed up your legitimate farming process without risking an online ban.

Editor’s Note: The Truth About the Social Grind
“Hitting a 5-star connection level at the new desert outposts took me hours of repetitive back-and-forth running. When players get tired of this grind, the first thing they look for is a console command or a Cheat Engine script for ‘Infinite Likes.’ Here is the hard truth: Kojima Productions hosts Likes and Shared Structures on a highly protected Asynchronous Multiplayer server. If you try to hack your Like count directly, the Decima Engine will flag your account and shadowban you from the Chiral Network. You will be playing completely alone.
Instead of trying to hack server data, the smartest way to farm Likes is to optimize your physical delivery capabilities.
By using safe, client-side memory injectors like XMODhub to disable your cargo weight limit and give yourself infinite battery, you can deliver ten times the cargo in half the time, farming thousands of legitimate Likes effortlessly.”

Why Connection Levels Matter (The Rewards)
Likes are categorized into several types, but they all contribute to Sam’s Porter Grade (which increases your carry capacity, balance, and stamina) and your Connection Level with specific outposts.
Maxing out a facility to 5 stars is essential for surviving the late game. It rewards you with:
- Advanced Equipment Blueprints: Upgraded Hematic Grenades, multi-rocket launchers, and high-capacity batteries.
- Customization Options: Paint jobs for your delivery trucks, reverse trikes, and the Magellan ship.
- Increased Bandwidth: Allowing you to build more Chiral Bridges, Generators, and Zip-lines in their region.
- Rare Materials: High-Density Metals and Special Alloys periodically gifted to your Private Locker.
Top 4 Legitimate Strategies to Farm Likes Fast
If you want to watch the numbers go up, you need to be strategic about what you deliver and what you build.
1Prioritize Premium Deliveries (Legend of Legends)
Standard orders yield a decent amount of Likes, but selecting “Premium Deliveries” on Hard or Very Hard difficulty triggers the “Legend of Legends” ranking. Delivering a massive haul with zero cargo damage under these conditions can net you thousands of Likes in a single run. Always use Container Repair Spray before handing in the cargo.
2Strategic Structure Placement
Do not just build bridges randomly. Open your map, look for deep rivers, treacherous canyons, or steep cliffs that other players are struggling to cross. Placing a Bridge, a Timefall Shelter, or a Generator in a high-traffic “choke point” will result in a massive stream of passive Likes every time you log in.
3Rebuild the Auto-Paver Highways
This is the ultimate passive Like farm. Whenever you connect a new region to the Chiral Network, immediately dump your Ceramics and Special Alloys into the local Auto-Pavers. Every time another player drives a truck over a section of highway you helped rebuild, you receive Likes.
4Upgrade Other Players’ Structures
If you are low on materials to build your own structures, bring a PCC to upgrade an existing structure built by someone else to Level 2 or 3. You will be permanently listed as a co-creator, earning a generous cut of all future Likes that structure receives.
The Trap: Why Hacking Likes Will Get You Banned
When the grind sets in, PC players inevitably search for “Death Stranding 2 unlimited likes code.” Because Kojima Productions completely compiled out the native developer console, players often turn to outdated Cheat Engine scripts.
Do not do this. The Decima Engine operates on a strict split-data system. Sam’s stamina and battery are stored locally on your PC, but the “Likes” system is fully integrated into the server-side Asynchronous Multiplayer network. If a script artificially injects 999,999 Likes into your profile, the server will detect a massive data mismatch during the next sync. This results in an immediate shadowban. You will no longer see other players’ structures, signs, or lost cargo, effectively ruining the DEATH STRANDING 2 experience.
Synergizing Your Farm: The XMODhub Method
You cannot safely hack the Likes themselves, but you can hack the physical limitations preventing you from earning them quickly. The XMODhub PC Trainer provides the ultimate workaround by safely modifying your local client data.
By removing the Decima Engine’s punishing physics restrictions, you can turn a tedious 30-minute delivery trek into a 5-minute breeze.
- Zero Cargo Weight: Premium Deliveries yield the most Likes when they are massive hauls. With XMODhub, you can stack 600kg of cargo on Sam’s back. Because your weight is locked to zero, Sam will never lose his balance, stumble, or damage the cargo, guaranteeing you an S-Rank and maximum Likes every time.
- Infinite Vehicle Battery: Load a Drawbridge Heavy Truck to the brim with lost cargo and deliveries. Toggle Infinite Battery to drive straight through rivers, mountains, and storms without ever stopping to build a generator.
- Speedhack (Game Speed Multiplier): Increase the game engine speed by 2.0x. You can sprint across the desert biomes and complete time-sensitive Premium Deliveries in record time, ensuring you secure the highest possible Like payout.
Step-by-Step: Delivering 500kg of Cargo Effortlessly
Using XMODhub to power-level your connection rating takes seconds to set up and requires no technical knowledge.
- Download the Client: Install the verified, digitally signed XMODhub software from the official website to ensure your game remains crash-free.

- Accept Everything: Go to a delivery terminal and accept every single Premium Delivery available, ignoring the weight limits.
- Trucchi Toggle: Open the XMODhub in-game overlay and activate “Zero Cargo Weight” and “Infinite Stamina.”
- Deliver: Sprint to your destination without worrying about stumbling or resting. Hand in the pristine cargo and watch your Connection Level instantly hit 5 stars.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Will using XMODhub to carry more cargo get me banned online?
A: No. Modifying Sam’s carrying capacity, stamina, and battery only affects local memory values. Because you are still completing the deliveries and earning the Likes legitimately, the server sees it as normal gameplay. Your account is 100% safe.
Q: Does using a trainer disable my Steam achievements?
A: No. XMODhub uses a non-invasive memory injection technique. It never alters the game’s executable file or the save file headers, meaning your Steam and Epic Games achievements remain fully active.
Q: Why doesn’t the tilde key (~) open the command console to give me Likes?
A: The developer console is completely locked out of the retail PC release. You cannot use native console commands in the Decima Engine. You must use a verified external overlay like XMODhub to manipulate gameplay mechanics.
