"Once Human: Shrapnel Build Guide Released"

In the world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build emerges as a powerhouse, capable of unleashing widespread devastation across the battlefield by triggering shrapnel effects that damage multiple parts of enemies. This guide delves deep into crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, highlighting the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate your foes.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

At its core, the Shrapnel build is all about maximizing damage through shrapnel effects. By equipping weapons and gear that trigger these effects, you can deal additional damage to parts of enemies that weren't even hit directly. The goal is to enhance critical hit rates, increase magazine capacity, and amplify shrapnel damage, turning your attacks into a relentless storm of destruction. Think of it as shooting fireworks, where the collateral damage from multiple shots adds up to obliterate your enemies. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the heart of the Shrapnel build. This assault rifle is renowned for its rapid fire rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel with each hit, which deals extra damage to random, unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits not only double this effect but also add a 30% critical damage boost, making it an ideal weapon 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 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 applying “The Bull’s Eye” effect to targets, increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the shrapnel damage. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can be used to apply “The Bull’s Eye” upon hitting weak spots, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up your primary weapon for devastating follow-ups.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee weapon in this build. Its “Fortress Warfare” ability, triggered by heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, significantly boosting team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the go-to armor 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. Each piece of the set can be purchased at the Blueprints Shop through the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom each.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• 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.
