"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 enemy parts. This guide offers a detailed walkthrough on crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to enhance your combat prowess on the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To grasp the essence of the Shrapnel build, it's crucial to understand its focus on weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, inflicting additional damage on parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, this build ensures a relentless onslaught of devastating attacks. Think of it as launching fireworks, where the extra damage comes from enemies being hit by multiple collateral shots. Below is a comprehensive 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 is prized for its rapid fire rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, causing extra damage to random unhit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel chance and adding a 30% critical damage boost, making it an excellent choice for prolonged battles. 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 results, 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," increasing their vulnerability and enhancing 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 impact.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee weapon. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated by heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, improving survivability and bolstering team resilience.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is ideal for the Shrapnel build, offering increased magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. 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%.
• Momentum Up: Increases fire rate by 10% for the first half of the magazine and weapon damage by 30% for the second half.
