"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its ability to unleash widespread damage through shrapnel effects that harm multiple enemy parts. This guide delves into the intricacies of creating an optimal Shrapnel build, offering insights on the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to enhance your battlefield prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

The Shrapnel build is built around weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, which inflict additional damage on unhit parts of enemies. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, this build ensures a relentless barrage of devastating attacks. Think of it as shooting fireworks, where enemies suffer from multiple collateral shots. Below is a comprehensive overview of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is pivotal to the Shrapnel build. This assault rifle offers a rapid rate of fire with a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, delivering extra damage to random unhit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect and provide a 30% critical damage boost, making it an excellent choice for sustained engagements. The blueprint for this weapon is obtainable through the Wish Machine by playing mini-games or purchasing it with 8,000 Starchrom from the Blueprint Shop. For peak 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 bolsters the Shrapnel build by marking targets with "The Bull’s Eye," enhancing their vulnerability and synergizing with the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon weakspot hits, offering 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 serves as a supportive melee weapon. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability activates with heavy attacks, creating a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing survivability and team durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is highly recommended for the Shrapnel build, offering increased magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. The set’s "Lone Shadow" effect grants additional critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. Blueprints for each piece can be purchased at the Blueprints Shop via the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom each.
