- Unlock the Tranq Sniper by completing the Lone Commander’s side mission in Death Stranding 2.

Whether you like using snipers or not, they are one of the coolest weapons in any action-adventure game. While most games see the weapon unlocking being tied to main missions, you have to take a detour in Death Stranding: On the Beach. On top of that, you can upgrade and fabricate the sniper in the game. So, if you are looking to get and upgrade the Sniper Rifle in Death Stranding 2, this is the ultimate guide you will need.
How to Unlock the Tranq Sniper Rifle in Death Stranding 2
To get the Tranq Sniper in Death Stranding 2, you must connect The Lone Commander to the Chiral Network in Australia. You can unlock the sniper by completing the “Recover the Mementos from the BT area” objective.
To start this mission, pick up sub-order 100 called “Deliver the Dismantled Rifle to the Lone Commander [Breakable Cargo]”. It’s not a Death Stranding 2 main order, which we’ve listed in our guide linked here. Remember, you get the sniper only after returning the mementos to the Lone Commander.
Watch out for the BT areas while you try to complete this mission. I would recommend that you also take note of Lou’s mood when navigating these challenging locations. Here, your primary goal is to connect the network, so it is better to avoid any fights.
This is one of the best weapons to take down human enemies in the game. Keep in mind that this objective is not part of the main mission, so if you miss it, you will lose out on a cool tranquilizing weapon that comes in handy. Once you unlock the Tranq Sniper Rifle, you can use 80 Resins, 100 Metals, and 80 Chemicals to craft this weapon in Death Stranding 2.
How to Upgrade the Tranq Sniper Rifle in Death Stranding 2
To upgrade your sniper rifle in Death Stranding 2, you must reach Connection Level 4 with The Lone Commander in Australia. The process is pretty straightforward; you must complete the base-specific missions and make a better connection level with The Lone Commander.
Despite being an upgrade, the LW Tranq Sniper is not much different from the normal one. It delivers the same range, scope variations, and loud noise when shooting. However, if you want to carry one in your inventory, this one takes up the size of an S-sized piece of cargo, which means you will have better portability while having the LW version of the Tranq Sniper Rifle.
That’s how you can get and upgrade the Tranq Sniper Rifle in Death Stranding 2. Are you using this loud weapon to handle business against evil humans? Let us know in the comments.
