"Ultimate Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human"

In the dynamic world of *Once Human*, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its capacity to deliver widespread damage by triggering shrapnel effects that harm multiple parts of enemies. This guide aims to provide a comprehensive breakdown of how to create an effective Shrapnel build, detailing the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to maximize your battlefield prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

To grasp the essence of the Shrapnel build, it's essential to understand its core mechanics. This build revolves around weapons and gear designed to trigger shrapnel effects, which deal additional damage to parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By optimizing critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, the build ensures a relentless onslaught of devastating attacks. Think of it as launching a barrage of fireworks where the collateral damage from shrapnel hits multiple targets. Below is a detailed overview of the components that make up this formidable build:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the SOCR – The Last Valor. This assault rifle is prized for its high rate of fire and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel effects with each shot, causing additional damage to random unhit parts of enemies. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel chance and adding a 30% boost to critical damage, making it ideal for prolonged combat. The blueprint for this weapon can be obtained 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," increasing their vulnerability and enhancing the effectiveness of shrapnel effects. Another option, the Recurve Crossbow, applies "The Bull’s Eye" upon weakspot hits, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting the stage for devastating follow-ups with the primary weapon.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a supportive melee weapon in this build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, activated through heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that grants Heavy Armor to allies, enhancing team survivability and durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the go-to choice for the Shrapnel build, offering boosts to magazine capacity and critical rate. The set's "Lone Shadow" effect increases critical damage with each critical hit, stacking 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.
