"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the immersive world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is a standout choice for players aiming to maximize their impact on the battlefield. This build is renowned for its ability to inflict widespread damage by triggering shrapnel effects that harm multiple enemy parts. This guide offers a detailed look at how to construct an optimal Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you're at the top of your game.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To fully appreciate the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to grasp its core concept. This build revolves around weapons and equipment that trigger shrapnel effects, causing additional damage to parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, increasing magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build delivers a relentless barrage of devastating attacks. Imagine it as shooting fireworks where the shrapnel causes additional damage as enemies are hit by multiple collateral shots. Below is a comprehensive overview of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the cornerstone of the Shrapnel build. This assault rifle is prized for its rapid rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel with each hit, inflicting extra damage on random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits not only double this effect but also add a 30% critical damage boost, making it a formidable choice for sustained engagements. To obtain the blueprint for this weapon, players can utilize the Wish Machine by playing mini-games or purchasing it directly from the Blueprint Shop for 8,000 Starchrom. For the best performance, crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended.

Recommended Attachments:

• Large Brake: +4 Range, +20 Accuracy, -8 Stability
• Reflex Sight: Zoom Level 2.0x, Aiming Speed +5.0%, Stability +5
• Tactical Laser Sight: +19 Accuracy, +12% Aiming Speed
• Extended Rifle Mag: Magazine Capacity +8, -13% Reload Speed

Secondary Weapon – DE.50 – Wildfire

The DE.50 – Wildfire complements the Shrapnel build by marking targets with “The Bull’s Eye,” enhancing their vulnerability and synergizing with the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can be used, applying “The Bull’s Eye” upon weakspot hits, which boosts the critical hit rate by 15% against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up the primary weapon for maximum damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a crucial melee weapon in the Shrapnel build. Its “Fortress Warfare” ability, activated by heavy attacks, creates a protective area that grants Heavy Armor to allies, significantly boosting team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the recommended armor for the Shrapnel build, offering increased magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. The set’s “Lone Shadow” effect enhances critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. Blueprints for each piece can be acquired at the Blueprints Shop through the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom each.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• Shrapnel Souvenir: Automatically reloads the magazine upon triggering shrapnel, ensuring continuous fire.
• Shrapnel Smash: Increases critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stacking up to 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Boosts critical hit rate by 10% and critical damage by 15%.
• Momentum Up: Increases fire rate by 10% for the first half of the magazine and weapon damage by 30% for the second half.

Recommended Mods for Armor

• Targeted Strike (Face): Enhances damage against marked targets.
• Crit Booster (Gloves): Further increases critical hit rate.
• Covered Advance (Shoes): Improves movement speed while aiming.
