"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the thrilling world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build emerges as a game-changer, designed to unleash widespread damage through its unique shrapnel effects that target multiple enemy parts. This guide aims to equip you with all the necessary information to create an effective Shrapnel build, covering the best choices in weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to dominate your adversaries.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To truly grasp the essence of the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to understand its fundamental principle. This build is engineered around weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, which inflict additional damage on enemy parts not initially hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build delivers a relentless assault, reminiscent of a fireworks display where secondary explosions further damage foes. Here's a detailed breakdown of the components that make up this powerful build:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build is the SOCR – The Last Valor, an assault rifle that excels with its rapid firing rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, causing extra damage to random unhit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel trigger chance and adding a 30% critical damage boost, making it exceptionally effective in prolonged battles. The blueprint for this weapon is obtainable through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or directly purchasing it for 8,000 Starchrom from the Blueprint Shop. For peak performance, crafting the Tier V version is advised.

• 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 enemies with “The Bull’s Eye,” increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the shrapnel effect's impact. As an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow can apply “The Bull’s Eye” on weakspot hits, boosting the critical rate by 15% against marked targets for 10 seconds, effectively setting up your primary weapon for devastating attacks.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee option within the Shrapnel build. Its “Fortress Warfare” ability, activated through heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, significantly improving team survivability and resilience.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the top choice for the Shrapnel build, offering enhanced magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. The set's “Lone Shadow” effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. Each piece's blueprint can be acquired at the Blueprints Shop via the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom.
