"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the dynamic world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build emerges as a powerhouse, renowned for its capacity to unleash devastating area-of-effect damage through shrapnel effects that strike multiple enemy components. This comprehensive guide delves into crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, outlining the premier selections for weapons, armor, modifications, deviants, and cradle overrides to enhance your combat prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To fully grasp the Shrapnel build, one must first understand its fundamental principle. This build revolves around utilizing weapons and gear that activate shrapnel effects, inflicting supplementary damage on parts of enemies that remain untouched. By boosting critical hit rates, expanding magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build delivers an unrelenting onslaught of destructive force. Think of it as launching a series of fireworks, where the extra damage is inflicted as enemies are hit by multiple collateral shots. Below is a detailed overview of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the SOCR – The Last Valor. This assault rifle is prized for its rapid firing rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, causing additional damage to random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits not only double this effect but also increase critical damage by 30%, making it an exceptional choice for prolonged combat. The blueprint for this weapon can be obtained through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. For the best results, crafting the Tier V version is advised.

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. Another option, the Recurve Crossbow, applies "The Bull’s Eye" on weakspot hits, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for the primary weapon to deal maximal damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe plays a supportive role as a melee weapon. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated through heavy attacks, generates a protective zone that bestows Heavy Armor on allies, improving survivability and bolstering team durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is highly recommended for the Shrapnel build, as it offers enhanced magazine capacity and boosts to 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 are available for purchase at the Blueprints Shop through 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.
