Death Stranding 2 Rainy Powers Explained

In Death Stranding 2, Rainy has the power of bringing timefall and corefall. This guide outlines the extent of her powers and what they mean.

Rainy is one of the Drawbridge members you will encounter after having spent time connecting Australia. She hasan intriguing backstorythat Fragile recounts after we meet Rainy for the first time. We also learn more about her powers, which can appear two-dimensional when taken at face value but can have significant implications for the in-game world.

Death Stranding 2: Rainy Is A Pharmakon

Rainy is described by Fragile as a pharmakon – a medicine that can harm and a poison that can heal. Her powers, as shown in Death Stranding 2, are as follows:

In Fragile’s first meeting with Rainy, she mentions that Rainy will save the world. While we don’t discover how Fragile envisions this, we do see the potential of Rainy’s power through the corefall. Its healing and restorative effect can have significant uses if it can be properly understood and harnessed. We don’t even know what or how far corefall can heal.

The duality of her powers perfectly fits the bill of a pharmakon and the broader themes of the Death Stranding universe. While her inadvertent power of bringing forth timefall every time she goes out is a nuisance and a threat, her powers to restore are a boon. She uses this power to take care of the birds and plants in her shelter. UnlikeTomorrow’s powers in Death Stranding 2, Rainy doesn’t have any ability that can be outright violent or aggressive.
