Why Collect Cans in Stellar Blade?
Collecting cans in Stellar Blade is a rewarding endeavor that offers both practical benefits and contributes to game completion. As Eve explores the world, she will encounter a total of 49 unique drink cans. Gathering these relics expands Eve’s inventory capacity, allowing her to carry more essential items like grenades and health consumables. Beyond inventory upgrades, collecting all cans is necessary to unlock the Black Pearl suit and is a requirement for earning the Can Collector trophy, which is needed to achieve the game’s platinum trophy.
Can Locations by Region
Cans are scattered throughout various regions in Stellar Blade. Below is a breakdown of cans found in specific areas:
Eidos 7 Cans (3 Total)
- Potential Blast (No. 33): Located in the Construction Zone. From the Construction Zone Supply Camp, head northwest. Look for a ramp leading into a crumbling building with a pole above it.
