"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capacity to unleash widespread damage through shrapnel effects that target multiple enemy parts. This guide delves into the essentials of crafting the perfect Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure your dominance on the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To grasp the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to understand its foundational concept. This build capitalizes on weapons and gear that initiate shrapnel effects, inflicting additional damage on un-hit enemy parts. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build guarantees a relentless onslaught of devastating attacks. Envision it as launching fireworks, where enemies suffer from the collateral damage of multiple shrapnel hits. Below is a detailed 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, with its rapid firing rate, has a 4% chance of triggering shrapnel per hit, causing extra damage to random un-hit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect by doubling it and adding a 30% critical damage boost, making it a lethal weapon for sustained combat. The blueprint for this weapon is obtainable through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or buying it with 8,000 Starchrom from the Blueprint Shop. For top performance, crafting the Tier V version is advisable.

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," increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the shrapnel effect. Another option is the Recurve Crossbow, which applies "The Bull's Eye" on weakspot hits, offering a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for the primary weapon to maximize damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee weapon. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated by heavy attacks, generates a protective zone that bestows Heavy Armor to allies, increasing team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

For the Shrapnel build, the Lonewolf set is highly recommended, boosting magazine capacity and critical rate. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stackable up to 10 times. Blueprints for each piece are available 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 uninterrupted firing.
• Shrapnel Smash: Boosts critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stackable 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): Amplifies damage against marked targets.
• Crit Booster (Gloves): Further increases the critical hit rate.
• Covered Advance (Shoes): Enhances movement speed while aiming.
