"Shrapnel Build Guide for Once Human"

In the thrilling world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its ability to unleash widespread destruction by triggering shrapnel effects that damage multiple enemy parts simultaneously. This comprehensive guide will walk you through crafting the ultimate Shrapnel build, detailing the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to maximize your battlefield prowess.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

The essence of the Shrapnel build lies in its focus on weapons and gear designed to trigger shrapnel effects, which deal additional damage to unhit enemy parts. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, this build ensures a relentless barrage of devastating attacks. Think of it as setting off a series of fireworks, where the extra damage comes from multiple collateral shots impacting the enemy. Here's a detailed breakdown of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

The SOCR – The Last Valor is the cornerstone of the Shrapnel build. This assault rifle offers a rapid rate of fire with a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel on every hit, causing additional damage to random unhit parts. When you land a critical hit, this effect doubles, and you get a 30% boost to critical damage, making it a lethal choice for sustained combat. You can obtain the blueprint for this weapon through the Wish Machine by playing mini-games or by spending 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. For the best performance, crafting the Tier V version is highly recommended.

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 shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can apply "The Bull’s Eye" on weakspot hits, granting a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up your primary weapon for maximum impact.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe serves as a vital melee weapon in this build. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability activates with heavy attacks, creating a protective area that grants Heavy Armor to allies, boosting survivability and enhancing overall team durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is the top choice for the Shrapnel build, offering increased magazine capacity and critical rate boosts. 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 through the Wish Machine for 3,000 Starchrom each.
