"Ultimate Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human"

In the immersive world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is a powerhouse, designed to maximize damage by triggering shrapnel effects that can devastate multiple enemy parts simultaneously. This guide offers a deep dive into crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, focusing on the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

Understanding the essence of the Shrapnel build is crucial. It revolves around leveraging weapons and equipment that activate shrapnel effects, leading to additional damage on unhit enemy parts. By boosting critical hit rates, increasing magazine capacity, and amplifying shrapnel damage, this build promises a relentless assault, akin to fireworks that shower enemies with multiple damaging shots. Here’s a detailed breakdown of the build's components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The cornerstone of the Shrapnel build is the SOCR – The Last Valor. This assault rifle is prized for its high fire rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, inflicting extra damage on random unhit parts. Critical hits not only double this effect but also add a 30% critical damage boost, making it a top pick for prolonged battles. You can obtain its blueprint through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. For peak performance, 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," thereby increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull's Eye" on weakspot hits, providing a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, effectively setting the stage for your primary weapon's maximum output.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a vital melee option, with its "Fortress Warfare" ability activating on heavy attacks to create a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, bolstering team durability and survivability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is ideal for the Shrapnel build, enhancing magazine capacity and critical hit rates. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stackable up to 10 times. Each piece's blueprint can be acquired from the Blueprints Shop via the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom.

Recommended Mods for Weapons

• Shrapnel Souvenir: Automatically reloads the magazine upon triggering shrapnel, ensuring continuous fire.
• Shrapnel Smash: Boosts critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stackable 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.
