A crying BB is a sad BB, and that makes Sam's life a bit more difficult when he's trying to get through Death Stranding. A crying BB is likely to cause a lot of trouble and is going to make a lot of noise. With a little extra time spent caring, Sam can quickly calm a BB down and ask it to stop making noise. Here is how to do it.
How to calm BBs down and make them stop crying in a Death Stranding
Players can quickly check the status of their BBs from their private room before missions or outings. To do this, players look at where the BB is, next to Sam's costumes, and use the "X" button. This brings players to the BB, where they examine them and get a close-up view of the cub. By pressing the "Square" button, players can appease the BB by pressing the container, thus getting a brief update on how the BB behaves overall. Making sure to check this will often help players recognize their progress with their BBs.
Now in the field things are a bit different.
A BB can start to cry or get fussy if Sam falls, gets hit by enemies, or if things around them go crazy. When a BB starts to cry, Sam must do everything possible so that the little one can rest and go back to sleep. To do this, first make sure Sam is in a safe place, so that you take time out of her birth and focus on them. Once you've done that, you can start focusing on the BB.
Hold down the L1 button to look down for first-person view, then press the down button on the directional pad. This action will allow Sam to look at his BB, making sure he's okay. Because the BB is stressful at this point, he is likely to cry and make a lot of noise. When Sam is looking directly at the BB, hit the "square" so Sam can start holding the BB with both hands. From there, slowly and steadily rock the PlayStation 4 controller back and forth as you hold the BB to bring it back to sleep. Sam will also make little cooing noises and encourage his BB to go back to sleep.
Players will know they are done comforting their BB when he stops making noise and goes back to sleep, closing his eyes. The time it takes for the BB to stop crying should only take a few seconds, especially if players have mastered the rocking motion with their controllers.
That's all you need to know about soothing your BB to stop crying. The most important thing is to check the status of your BB every now and then when you are in your private room to make sure that he is happy and that all is well.
