Memory Chip 18

Memory chip 18 is in the first MULE area to the south of the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City.

Located inside one of the tents in the MULE Camp north of Timefall Farm. By looking at the map, it’s found near the MULE postbox, placed on top of a carpet.

The Memory Chip 23 in Death Stranding unlocks the Coffe Cup lore entry once it’s been scanned in an UCA-affiliated terminal.

This one is located on top of the Timefall Farm, found in the corner overlooking the harvest fields and the water tank across the road.

Memory Chip 32

In the main camp of the MULEs lurking in the marsh area south of the Craftsman, search their main tents to find the Memory Chip. It’s right on top of a table.

The Memory Chip 32 in Death Stranding unlocks the Honda NSR250R lore entry once it’s been scanned in an UCA-affiliated terminal.

Memory Chip 33

This one inside an abandoned barn north of Timefall Farm, but beware since the place is also a MULE Camp and you might encounter enemies when you explore it. Once inside the barn, climb to the second floor and look for the Memory Chip on a shelf.

The Memory Chip 33 in Death Stranding unlocks the Honda Rebel 500 lore entry once it’s been scanned in an UCA-affiliated terminal.

Memory Chip 35

Just to the southeast of the Junk Dealer’s bunker, you can find several shipping containers and ruined cars on top of them. The Memory Chip is located inside a car on the white shipping container.

Memory Chip 43

Memory Chip 45

Memory Chip 48

Look north of the Film Director’s bunker to find a thin crevice with hazardous smoke emitting from its depths, and quickly go in to find a Memory Chip. You can use either a ladder or a rope for a faster retreat, but even without the proper equipment you should be able to retrieve it on foot before the toxic gas starts hurting Sam’s health if you run.

The Memory Chip 48 in Death Stranding unlocks the Once In A Long, Long While…/Low Roar lore entry once it’s been scanned in an UCA-affiliated terminal.

Memory Chip 49

On the very linear path between the Distribution Center West of Capital Knot City and the Wind Farm, you’ll come across this memory chip just sitting on a rock.

Memory Chip 51

This Memory Chip is on top of a mountain south of Timefall Farm, located below two grey columns near some crystals and cryptobiotes. There aren’t any MULEs nor BTs in the area, but you should definitely pack at least a couple of ladders and a rope to make it through safe and sound.

The Memory Chip 51 in Death Stranding unlocks the Valhalla Rising: Original Soundtrack by Peter Peter & Peter Kyed lore entry once it’s been scanned in an UCA-affiliated terminal.
