Once Human - Things that New Players Miss and Understanding Game Mechanics
Once Human is an SCP-inspired multiplayer open-world survival game, where teams of players use firearms and supernatural abilities to survive against the unknowable and powerful Aberrant creatures that threaten the last remnants of mankind. Players must band together to unite survivors, rebuild the territory, and uncover the mysteries of their enemies, or risk destruction.

Hey. Great video - knew nothing about the Starcrom - appreciated. You can add the emotes to the initial ‘wheel’ when you press X. I think it’s in the cosmetics section under ‘Expression’. You just hover over the emote or mood and press the number on the wheel you want it assigned to. Not at home right now to confirm the location of these is 100% accurate…but hopefully I’ve remembered correctly.

@Xelray
Ай бұрын
No worries. Blueprints are drops in the map, from mystic chests that are a one time per season only. So it's limited and set. The wish machine you can roll and get more. If you are interested in A wanderer gun, as an example, using fragments from that gun are twice as powerful as other wanderer gun fragments, and non wanderer fragments can't be used. I'd still highly suggest unlocking the base gun first before using extra fragments, so you can test it out in the future if you are curious. If you go to details of the blueprint, you can find the interface for using blueprints to increase experience to star up the gun. I think that covers it. Sorry if I missed something.
honestly Once Human is a very good game, but i think the developer has focused WAY WAY WAY to much time on all sorts of shops and nonsense, its honestly overwhelming... with they focused more on the actual game play then give me 1000 different ways to spend money on..

There are a lot of events and shop stuff. I honestly just ignored it until today. Yet when I started looking, my efficiency dropped hard. There are a lot of things to play. I did a higher level event today and literally got rocked so hard. I think you'll have fun with stuff as you get out of the starter zones. Or at least your opinion may balance between gameplay and shop stuff, if not turn more to gameplay.
My opinion is that the best crafting deviant is frog the leaper, those jump height potions are op in so many situations.

@Xelray
Ай бұрын
The difficulty goes up, ramping up is bit of an opinion. If you get lucky with your gear and get a perfect set, you'll cruise relatively easily as you learn mechanics later on. Remember, this is a a starting difficulty season, and future season should be more difficult. That's how the game seems to be set up. We'll be getting hard mode dungeons and bosses, and after that pro mode, that should be able to keep you busy for a while.

thanks! your knowledge on the game in the beta vs now is very useful since all the videos i watched about what builds were good must have been changed on release. The info about the bomber and ice deviant are a good example. Im also not sure if the shrapnel build was nerfed at all or is still worth going for?
@Xelray
Ай бұрын
I have a last valour, and shrapnel doesn't feel weak at least. It's a bit too early to say nerfs and buffs with so many changes. However, Falcon set got split so it wasn't psi intensity and crit, so it will probably tone down the DPS of element builds that modified skills to crit, such as corrosion and jaws.

Good question. The first season takes place in East Nalcott. Soon in the story there will be a reveal(unless it changed) of someone from West Nalcott. I'm assuming our next season will bring us there. If things are the same size, we roughly have 1/3rd of the whole map to explore this season. Anticipating that, we have three seasons with unique terrain and quests. That would be my assumption.

After a season wipe, its a reset, yet you get to keep most of your character progress, weapon mods, blueprints, formulas, most currencies. From what I understand, seasons are like separate campaigns that progressively get harder. I wanted to make a separate video on that since it's such a hot topic. I also saw a general difficulty per seasons, it's all the same right now. In the next few days I was going to release that video I was thinking, it's a lot to talk about.
