One of the most useful systems in Death Stranding 2 is the return of Fragile Jump—a fast travel mechanic that lets Sam instantly teleport between key facilities. If you’re deep into Chapter 2 and wondering how to revisit Mexico or clean up missed deliveries, this guide will show you exactly how to unlock Fragile Jump, where it works, and how to use it without leaving your gear behind.
🔎 What Is Fragile Jump?
Fragile Jump was first introduced in Death Stranding (2019) as a way to fast travel between safe houses using Fragile’s umbrella. In Death Stranding 2: On the Beach, the mechanic returns and is even more important—especially once you start bouncing between continents like Mexico (C1), the U.S. (C2), and Australia (C3).
The catch? You can’t use it right away. You’ll need to progress the story, unlock the right facility, and trigger a specific event before fast travel becomes available.
🗺️ When and Where Do You Unlock Fragile Jump?
✅ Unlock Region: Mexico (C1)
🛏️ How It Unlocks:
-
Complete Norberto Puente’s early deliveries or main Orders around C1.
-
Return to the DHV Magellan and rest in your private room.
-
A cutscene with Fragile will play—this officially unlocks Fragile Jump.
-
From this point, Fragile’s umbrella icon will appear in your private room.
⚙️ How Fragile Jump Works
Once unlocked, you can use Fragile’s umbrella to jump between key locations you’ve visited and rested at. It’s perfect for revisiting missed regions, unlocking new gear, or chasing prepper stars.

⚠️ What You Can’t Do with Fragile Jump
Despite its convenience, there are some limitations:
-
❌ You can’t carry cargo – Only what Sam wears is kept
-
❌ No vehicles – Leave your trikes, trucks, and robots behind
-
❌ Not usable in the open world – You must be in a facility with a private room
-
❌ Temporarily disabled during some story missions or transitions
🧠 Tips for Using Fragile Jump Efficiently

✅ Build Safe Houses near hard-to-reach zones early on—makes jumps way more strategic
-
✅ Use Jump to go back and unlock missed gear (like the Silenced Pistol) from Norberto Puente
-
✅ Pre-load Private Lockers with essential gear before using Jump—then retrieve it from the other end
-
✅ Use it to complete Standard Orders quickly across regions without trekking through BT zones again
