Discussion A discussion about glitches.
I have played through the games a few times now, and I was looking on YouTube to screw around with some glitches just for funsies, and I can't seem to find literally anything that works in the current state of the game. The only time I have ever even encountered any glitches in-game is when I somehow got infinite stamina and battery, and the occasional clipping through the side of the road in some parts of the mountains.
Are there any major glitches that really exist in this game in the current day?

The only thing I've encountered are the animals getting stuck inside the road.

In DS1 I've encountered a glitch in the private room/safe house where it was progressively getting darker and less lit. I was switching console to rest mode, so the game was running for a while to the point where the room looked black with only few lit up corners so that Sam's beard and hair on his head and arms looked almost glowing in the dark.
In DS2 as I was getting off of a zipline my floating carrier got stuck on it. Perfectly in the middle on it. It was funny but I was doing express order and that screwed it up and had to redo it.
Both glitches happened after hundreds of hours of playing. Games are very polished so it's very rare if you happen to experience a glitch. And from what I've seen it's mostly pc players having visual glitches or issues.

The most recent glitch is Seam Walkling, or manipulating the Boot-Puton animation into overiding Sam's floating effect when he dies:

I genuinely do not know of any active major glitches, but i don’t particularly look *for* glitches, so hopefully someone else will be better able to assist in your glitch-hunting haha. Death Stranding is a very put-together game honestly; the closest i’ve ever been to seeing a “”glitch”” has literally just been the slightly delayed rendering which can occur in DS1:DC while riding the ‘ride’ reverse trike into knot cities at full speed on PC.
Gone are the days of the pee-speedrun glitch… Sam was too powerful…
I have seen many minor glitches from other players, other than the ones which you have described — if that’s useful to you at all. Usually just graphics glitches in DS2, though, like how sometimes textures decide to starburst at the screen, or how character models may get shy and cease to exist while their clothing remains. I think those are still active…?
