"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the immersive world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capacity to unleash widespread damage through shrapnel effects that target multiple parts of enemies. This comprehensive guide aims to help you construct the ultimate Shrapnel build, detailing the best choices in weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

At its core, the Shrapnel build revolves around utilizing weapons and equipment that trigger shrapnel effects, thereby inflicting additional damage on parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By optimizing critical hit rates, increasing magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, this build delivers a relentless barrage of devastating attacks. Think of it as setting off fireworks, where the additional damage comes from the multiple collateral hits on enemies. Below is a detailed breakdown of the build 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 on each hit, which inflicts extra damage on random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits not only double this effect but also add a 30% boost to critical damage, making it an excellent choice for prolonged engagements. 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. 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," which increases their vulnerability and synergizes with the shrapnel effect. As an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weak spots, providing a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up the primary weapon for maximum damage output.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a supportive melee weapon within the Shrapnel build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated by heavy attacks, creates a protective area that grants Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing team survivability and 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. Blueprints for each piece can be acquired at the Blueprints Shop via 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.
• Bullet Siphon or Deadshot (Bottoms): Enhances ammo efficiency or critical damage.
