📋 About This Mod

There's at least two mods to add the Monster Energy branding and product placement present in the original release of Death Stranding to Death Stranding Director's Cut.

However, both mods have issues if you want a cohesive experience.

dynamiics' mod:

  • []Only adds the Monster Energy can back to the private room in place of BRIDGES ENERGY.

    []Does not address the fact that the canteen still contains BRIDGES ENERGY, nor does it address the game's localisations (i.e. places in the HUD/menus where Monster Energy used to be mentioned instead of BRIDGES ENERGY

    Stea1ch's mod:

    • []Includes an installation file that doesn't actually seem to work

      []Addresses most localisation issues, but forgets to edit the HUD description for the Level 2 Canteen, so it still mentions BRIDGES ENERGY instead of Monster Energy

      This mod is the closest I can get to a working mod.

      It replaces the can in the private room.

      It edits every localisation where BRIDGES ENERGY is mentioned and replaces it with Monster Energy.

      It works for multiple languages (if someone can provide me the exact text that is present in the OG vanilla game for their game, then I'll add that in. I had to replace the Chinese entry using complete guesswork and Google translate so it might read completely wrong)

      It includes a simple BAT file installer that works perfectly. (based on the one F0xDi324 made for his mods, big shout out to him)

      It has issues, mostly with texture LOD that I can't fix. Not to say that it cannot BE fixed, but right now I can't do it.

      Please let me know if you encounter any issues.

      Keep on keeping on!
