Once Human Guide – Best Weapon and Gear Blueprints and Their Locations

Once Human has a unique system for crafting weapons and gear – you must gather Fragments to make a Blueprint for anything. Random loot is also available, but they can’t be repaired. Regardless, here are the best weapons and gear in the game and how to get their Blueprints.

Doombringer (Double Barrel Shotgun)

Obtained from the Wish Machine for 8000 Starchrom. Double barrel shotgun with a 65 percent chance to trigger The Bull’s Eye on hit, granting a five percent damage reduction for eight seconds (max four stacks). When shooting marked enemies, your critical hit rate increases by 30 percent; defeating them grants +6 Attack for 60 seconds, maxing out at five stacks.

Icy Rain (SMG)

Obtained from Mystical Crates while exploring Chalk Peak. Critical hits have a 40 percent chance to trigger Frost Vortex (which also gets a +1 bonus). After triggering Frost Vortex, refill 15 percent of your magazine.

SOCR The Last Valor (Assault Rifle)

Obtained from the Wish Machine for 8000 Starchrom. Critical hits count as two hits with this weapon and increase the chance of triggering Shrapnel by +1 for one second. It also has a base four percent chance to activate Shrapnel on hit, with crit damage from the same increased by 30 percent.

Compound Bow

Drops from Weapon Crates in the wild and the Wish Machine for 8000 Starchrom. After hitting a target, increase Reload Speed by +6 and Critical Hit Rate by 10 percent, stacking up to three times (max stacks also gained from slaying enemies). You can also trigger Unstable Bomber when hitting an enemy at max stacks.

KVD Boom! Boom! (Light Machine Gun)

Obtained from the Wish Machine for 8000 Starchrom. This LMG has an 18 percent chance to trigger Burn on hit; burning enemies explode for 300 percent Blaze damage (while afflicting one stack of Burn on them). Increases Blaze damage by 30 percent.

AWS.338 Bingo (Sniper Rifle)

Obtained from the Wish Machine for 8000 Starchrom. Hitting a weak spot has a 70 percent chance to grant The Bull’s Eye (though it also triggers on the first hit after switching to this weapon). Weakspot damage increases by 15 percent for 10 seconds, stacking up to three times. Slaying enemies by hitting their weak spots also grants a +15 percent Attack for 20 seconds.

Frozen Northern Pike (Melee Weapon)

Heavy attacks freeze enemies and generate Frost Vortex every four seconds. The latter costs two additional Stamina but recovers five percent of lost HP. It’s unlocked from Fishing Trader Margerie.

Renegade Set

Obtained from Wish Machine, each piece costing 3000 Starchrom. It grants a 15 percent increase in reload speed and a 10 percent increase in weak spot damage with one and two pieces. The three-piece bonus grants Archer’s Focus with continuous hits on the same enemy, which increases weak spot damage by four percent (stacking up to 10 times). The four-piece bonus returns 0.6 percent bullets up to 30 percent based on every one percent weak spot hits from the previous magazine.

Bastille Set

Obtained from the Wish Machine, each piece costing 3000 Starchrom. Gain 10 percent weapon damage when health is above 70 percent with one piece. The two-piece bonus grants 20 percent reload speed. The three-piece bonus increases weapon damage by 40 percent when crouching and not moving for 0.5 seconds as part of the Bastille state. Sprint is disabled for three seconds, and Stamina consumption increases by 100 percent when exiting the same state.

Four-piece bonus grants one armor stack after the Bastille state ends, stacking up to 60. Entering the Bastille state provides a shield equal to one percent of maximum health based on the number of armor stacks. Gain 30 percent vulnerability when the shield breaks.
