Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human

In the dynamic world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build emerges as a powerhouse, renowned for its capacity to unleash widespread damage through shrapnel effects that target multiple enemy parts. This guide is your ultimate resource for crafting the perfect Shrapnel build, offering insights into the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to elevate your combat prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To fully grasp the Shrapnel build, you need to understand its foundational concept. It revolves around using weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, causing additional damage to parts of enemies not initially hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, this build ensures you're continuously dealing devastating blows. Think of it as setting off fireworks, where the extra damage comes from multiple collateral hits. Here's a detailed breakdown of the build and its essential components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the heart of the Shrapnel build. This assault rifle is prized for its rapid rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on every hit, which inflicts additional damage on random unhit parts. When you land a critical hit, this effect doubles, and you gain a 30% boost to critical damage, making it exceptionally effective in sustained combat. You can obtain the blueprint for this weapon through the Wish Machine by participating 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," making them more vulnerable and enhancing the effectiveness of shrapnel effects. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weakspots, providing a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for your primary weapon to deliver maximum damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe is a vital support tool in the Shrapnel build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated 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 choice for the Shrapnel build, offering increased magazine capacity and critical rate enhancements. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect adds critical damage with each critical hit, stacking up to 10 times. You can acquire blueprints for each piece at the Blueprints Shop through 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.
