"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capacity to deliver widespread damage through the ingenious use of shrapnel effects that target multiple enemy parts. This guide delves deep into crafting the perfect Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to enhance your battlefield prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To master the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to grasp its core mechanics. This build revolves around weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, inflicting additional damage to enemy parts that weren't directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, increasing magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build ensures a relentless onslaught of devastating attacks. It's akin to setting off fireworks, where enemies suffer from multiple collateral hits. 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 offers a rapid rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel with each hit, causing additional damage to random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits double this effect and provide a 30% critical damage boost, making it exceptionally powerful in 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. For peak 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," enhancing their vulnerability and synergizing with the shrapnel effect. For an alternative, the Recurve Crossbow applies "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weak spots, offering a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for the primary weapon to maximize damage output.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

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

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the ideal choice 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 purchase the blueprints for each piece 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.
