Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human

In the dynamic world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build emerges as a powerhouse for players looking to deal widespread damage through shrapnel effects that hit multiple enemy parts. This guide offers a detailed walkthrough on crafting the perfect Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to ensure you dominate the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

Understanding the Shrapnel build is crucial before diving into its construction. This build is designed around weapons and gear that trigger shrapnel effects, inflicting extra damage on parts of enemies not directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, the Shrapnel build delivers a relentless barrage of devastating attacks, akin to setting off fireworks where the collateral damage maximizes your impact. Here's a comprehensive overview of the build components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the SOCR – The Last Valor, an assault rifle known for its rapid-fire capability and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on each hit, which inflicts additional damage to random unhit parts. Critical hits not only double this effect but also provide a 30% boost to critical damage, making it an excellent choice for prolonged battles. The blueprint for this weapon is obtainable through the Wish Machine by engaging in mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. Crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended for peak 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 marking targets with "The Bull’s Eye," which heightens their vulnerability and synergizes with the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon hitting weak spots, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, effectively setting up the primary weapon for maximum damage output.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee option. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated through heavy attacks, creates a protective area that grants Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

For the Shrapnel build, the Lonewolf set is recommended, offering boosts to magazine capacity and critical rates. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stackable 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 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.

Recommended Mods for Armor

• Targeted Strike (Face): Enhances damage against marked targets.
• Crit Booster (Gloves): Further increases critical hit rate.
• Covered Advance (Shoes): Improves movement speed while aiming.
• Bullet Siphon or Deadshot (Bottoms): Enhances ammo efficiency or critical damage.
