Stray (2022) Cheats and Tips

PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5
Last Updated: by Dennis

Stray is available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, and PC. Take a look at our cheats and tips to get help in this game.

Stray is an adventure game presented through a third-person perspective that follows a stray cat who falls into a walled city populated by robots, machines, and mutant bacteria, and sets out to return to the surface with the help of a drone companion called B-12 who assists by translating the language of other characters, storing items throughout the world, providing light, and hacking various technologies to open paths and solve puzzles. You play the role of the stray cat, who traverses by leaping across platforms, climbing up obstacles, and solving puzzles in order to progress the story.

Stray Cheats, Tips Strategy

Below is a collection of hints and tips that will help you to progress in the game. These include why you should always scratch the window shades from the interior of buildings and how to get back on the right track when you get lost.

Don't Worry about Falling

You do not have to worry about not making jumps and falling in Stray. If you press the X button on your PlayStation controller you will automatically bridge the gap between two objects. If you hold the X button down you will be able to chain your jumps together automatically. Aside from the occasional scripted section there is no way the cat you play in Stray can fall. To make things easier there is an option in Stray you can switch on that displays a button prompt indicating the objects you can jump to.

Talk to NPCs

In Stray it is important that you make sure you talk to all the NPCs you meet as they each have something useful to say, this will include where you should go, what you should do, or whom you should talk to next. Most of the NPCs you meet will be robots called Companions and their important text is highlighted in a yellow font.

Scratch Window Shades to Reveal Shortcuts

Remember in Stray that it is essential to scratch at window coverings from a building's interior as doing so will cause them to snap up and reveal a new shortcut out of that room.

Ribbons and Tassels indicate Climbing Routes

Although Stray does not tell you where to go, it does give you subtle hints in the form of environmental clues that indicate a climbing route you can take to the next part of the main mission or more often than not just to an area containing an optional item. An example of a climbing route is ribbons sticking out of a fan or air conditioning unit.

Giving Away Items

Don't worry about accidentally giving away items to the wrong NPC as a Companion will only accept an item if it's the exact thing they are looking for. Items in Stray are gifted by pressing 'Up' on the directional pad during the middle of a conversation.

Don't Overheat B-12s Laser Beam

B-12 gets a laser that can incinerate Zurks during several of the mid-game chapters. It is important that you don't allow this weapon to overheat as doing so will mean having to wait for the 5-second cooldown to elapse before being able to use it again. However, if you use it right up until the meter is full and then stop firing, it will recharge almost instantly. Keep in mind this weapon only incinerates Zurks.

Ask B-12

In Stray there are no waypoints, no map, or compass, so you can easily get confused or lost. If this does happen you can easily find out where you are supposed to go by pressing 'Down' on the D-Pad to make B-12 remind you of your current objective.
