This save game contains the basics with nothing additional and starts you off at the beginning of Chapter 2. I wanted a save game that skipped some of the beginning intro sequences and got me right into the meat of the game

IMPORTANT: In order to implement this save you will need to temporarily disable Death Stranding's save corruption check with the Hex Editor. Once you have entered the save and made your own save, you will be able to turn the check back on.
To know how to do it, follow the instructions:
Open <path-to-game> \ds.exe or <path-to-game> \DeathStranding.exe in a hex editor (e.g. HxD).
Search for 75 05 41 C6 46 3A 11 48 8D 8D as hex.
Replace it with EB 05 41 C6 46 3A 11 48 8D 8D to bypass the checks.
Save the changes.
Launch Death Stranding and load the game.
