Before this update released, every time players encountered BTs during gameplay, a short cutscene would play that would zoom in on the activation of the scanner of the gameโs protagonist, Sam Porter Bridges. The scene only lasted a few seconds but players run into BTs a lot during Death Strandingโs 40-plus hour campaign so after a while the cutscene would become pretty tedious.
