"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its ability to unleash widespread destruction by triggering shrapnel effects that damage multiple parts of enemies. This guide delves deep into crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, providing insights on the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the concept of utilizing weapons and gear that initiate shrapnel effects, inflicting additional damage on parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. This build amplifies critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, creating a relentless storm of devastating attacks. Imagine it like launching fireworks, where the shrapnel serves as multiple collateral shots hitting your foes. Below is a detailed overview of the build's components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the cornerstone of the Shrapnel build. This high-performance assault rifle offers a swift firing rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, causing extra damage to random, unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits amplify this effect and boost critical damage by 30%, making it a powerful choice for prolonged battles. You can obtain the blueprint for this weapon through the Wish Machine by participating in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. Crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended for peak performance.

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. For an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow applies "The Bull’s Eye" upon weakspot hits, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up your primary weapon for devastating follow-ups.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe is a supportive melee weapon in the build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability activates with heavy attacks, creating a protective zone that provides Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing team durability and survivability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the top choice for the Shrapnel build, offering boosts to magazine capacity and critical rates. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stacking 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 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%.
