"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capacity to unleash devastating widespread damage by activating shrapnel effects that impact multiple parts of enemies. This guide offers a thorough breakdown of crafting an effective Shrapnel build, spotlighting the ideal weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to amplify your battlefield prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

Understanding the essence of the Shrapnel build is crucial. It revolves around utilizing weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, which inflict additional damage on parts of enemies that weren't initially hit. By boosting critical hit rates, expanding magazine capacity, and enhancing shrapnel damage, this build ensures a relentless barrage of destructive attacks. Imagine it like igniting fireworks, where the extra damage stems from enemies being struck by multiple collateral shots. Below is a detailed breakdown 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 high rate of fire and a 4% chance to activate shrapnel on each hit, causing additional damage to random unhit parts of the enemy. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling it and adding a 30% critical damage boost, making it exceptionally potent for sustained combat. You can obtain the blueprint for this weapon through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. Crafting its Tier V version is recommended for the best results.

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," which heightens their vulnerability and synergizes with the shrapnel effect. As an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weak spots, offering a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, effectively priming the primary weapon for maximum impact.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee weapon within the build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, triggered by heavy attacks, establishes a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing team survivability and overall durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is highly recommended for the Shrapnel build, as it boosts magazine capacity and critical hit rates. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. You can acquire blueprints for each piece through the Blueprints Shop via the Wish Machine, costing 3,000 Starchrom each.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• Shrapnel Souvenir: Automatically reloads the magazine upon triggering shrapnel, ensuring continuous fire.
• Shrapnel Smash: Boosts critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stacking up to 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Enhances 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.
