"Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human"

In the dynamic world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is a game-changer, designed to unleash devastating area damage through shrapnel effects that impact multiple enemy parts. This guide offers a thorough exploration of crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to elevate your combat prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

Understanding the essence of the Shrapnel build is crucial. It revolves around utilizing weapons and gear that initiate shrapnel effects, delivering additional damage to parts of enemies not directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, this build ensures a relentless onslaught of destructive attacks. Envision it as launching fireworks, where the collateral damage spreads to enemies through multiple shrapnel shots. Below is a detailed breakdown 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 features a rapid firing rate with a 4% chance of triggering shrapnel per hit, inflicting additional damage on random unhit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel trigger chance and adding a 30% boost to critical damage, making it an excellent choice for prolonged battles. The blueprint for this weapon can be obtained 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 advised for top-tier 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 applying “The Bull’s Eye” mark on targets, enhancing their vulnerability and synergizing with the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can mark targets with “The Bull’s Eye” upon hitting weak spots, providing a 15% critical rate increase against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up your primary weapon for maximum damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee option. Its “Fortress Warfare” ability activates with heavy attacks, creating a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, thereby increasing survivability and bolstering team durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is ideal for the Shrapnel build, offering enhanced 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 uninterrupted firing.
• Shrapnel Smash: Boosts critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stacking up to 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Increases critical hit rate by 10% and critical damage by 15%.
• Momentum Up: Enhances fire rate by 10% for the first half of the magazine and weapon damage by 30% for the second half.
