How to solve the Death Stranding 2 F1 Fastest Route puzzle
Joel Franey
26 June 2025
The fastest route from F1 to all four bases in DS2 is a complex puzzle

The F1 fastest route puzzle in Death Stranding 2: On the Beach is about working out the fastest way to deliver to all four facilities and the order of deliveries, taking the time of each section in mind. It's probably the question that Rainy and Tomorrow ask you that most reflects a skillset that Sam would need to understand as a porter, but either way, you won't be able to progress through Death Stranding 2 until you answer.
To help you out, I've got the correct order for the F1 fastest route puzzle in Death Stranding 2 below, the last of the questions that Rainy, at the very least, will ask you as part of her schooling.

To solve the fastest route from F1 puzzle in Death Stranding 2, you need to answer in the following order: B-A-C-D.
Rather than the biology knowledge of the previous Death Stranding 2 platypus question, the idea here is that you need to tally all the possible routes by the times attached to them, and see what the sum total is. The shortest total that allows you to reach all four facilities is the answer, so if you go B-A-C-D. the total amount of time is 27'45. Admittedly that's over a day of hiking total, but it's still the fastest route from F1 to all four other locations.

The rewards here are even more than the Death Stranding 2 block puzzle before. Now you get 300 Likes from Drawbridge, and a Fragile-themed vehicle decal. Admittedly, these rewards are pretty insubstantial at this point in the game, but it's better than getting nothing, especially considering you have to answer this question or be forced to reload and try again.
This is technically the end of your education with Rainy, though it's not the end of being asked questions in the Magellan altogether. At some point, Tomorrow will approach you personally with a more difficult kind of test, as we've explained in the Death Stranding 2 Tomorrow's Nightmare choice guide.
Want to know more about the game? If you're curious to find out how this will all come to an end, check out our full Death Stranding 2 ending explained guide (yes, there'll be spoilers aplenty). Or, if you weren't sure what all the Death Stranding 2 Likes were actually doing for you, we can explain their purpose and function.

Guides Writer
Joel Franey is a writer, journalist, podcaster and raconteur with a Masters from Sussex University, none of which has actually equipped him for anything in real life. As a result he chooses to spend most of his time playing video games, reading old books and ingesting chemically-risky levels of caffeine. He is a firm believer that the vast majority of games would be improved by adding a grappling hook, and if they already have one, they should probably add another just to be safe. You can find old work of his at USgamer, Gfinity, Eurogamer and more besides.
