Private Rooms

Discover the secrets of Sam's Private Room in Death Stranding Director's Cut! Learn about stamina, blood, EX Grenades, BB interactions, and more.

Alright, so you're gonna start finding yourself in Sam's Private Room pretty often. Think of it as your personal safe haven, no matter where you are in the game world. Every time you pop in, Sam's gonna hit the hay, which is awesome because it fully tops off his stamina and blood. Plus, his canteen gets a free refill. Keep an eye out after major story moments, too – he'll start regenerating other supplies, like those crucial blood bags, while you're chilling.

To the left of the bed, you've got the shower and sink area. The shower's got a few options: a regular shower, a standing toilet, and a sitting toilet. Yeah, it sounds weird, but using these is how you'll craft those handy EX Grenades. The better you clean Sam up, the more potent they become!

The sink has this cool proximity mirror. If you mess around with it, you can get Sam to pull some funny faces and even snap a picture. It's mostly for laughs, but it's also a great way to earn some likes from BB. I make it a point to snap a pic every time I'm in here – BB seems to appreciate the attention!

Directly in front of Sam is where all the gear action happens: the weapon and equipment storage, and BB's incubator. Once you get a bit further into the story, you'll even unlock a quick travel function right next to the weapon storage. This is your spot to check out your gear, change the colors on certain items, and keep an eye on BB.

On Sam's right side, there's a table loaded with goodies. You'll find drinks here, and equippable items like sunglasses and hats. Later on, a jar of cryptobiotes will show up. Downing a few energy drinks or beers from this table can actually push Sam's stamina past its normal limit. This extra boost doesn't carry over once you leave the room, but it's a lifesaver for those long treks. Those cryptobiotes become super important later for crafting another type of EX Grenade, especially after blood bags start healing Sam.

Also on Sam's right is the terminal. It's basically the same as the cuff links menu you access in the field, but it ditches the map and adds a music player. Seriously, make it a habit to check the terminal data every time you're in the private room. You never know what important intel you might have missed.
