These enclosed areas evoke Metal Gear, further promoting stealth in a way the outdoor M.U.L.E. camps in the base game didn\u2019t. You\u2019ll sneak through enemy territory to find out what the bad guys are up to while dropping soldiers along the way. A new laser gun helps with this by letting you stun enemies from a distance, among other functions.<\/p>\n<p>The private room has new features as well. You can now replay any boss battle at any time, and your performance will be scored and compared to other players. You can also mellow out to eight new tracks in the music player, perfect for striking&nbsp;goofy poses in photo mode.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Death Stranding Director\u2019s Cut is coming exclusively to PlayStation 5 and launches on September 24.
