In the world of Once Human, the Shrapnel build is renowned for its ability to unleash widespread destruction through shrapnel effects that damage multiple enemy parts. This guide offers an in-depth look at how to assemble the ultimate Shrapnel build, covering the best weapons, armor, mods, deviants, and cradle overrides to enhance your combat prowess on the battlefield.

What is the Shrapnel Build?

Understanding the Shrapnel build's core concept is crucial. It revolves around weapons and equipment that generate shrapnel effects, delivering extra damage to parts of enemies that weren't directly hit. By boosting critical hit rates, magazine capacity, and shrapnel damage, the build ensures a relentless onslaught of devastating attacks. Picture it like launching fireworks, where the additional damage comes from enemies being hit by multiple secondary shots. Below is a detailed breakdown of the build and its components:

Primary Weapon – SOCR – The Last Valor

At the heart of the Shrapnel build lies the SOCR – The Last Valor. This assault rifle is known for its rapid firing rate and a 4% chance to trigger shrapnel with each hit, causing additional damage to random unhit parts. Critical hits amplify this effect, doubling the shrapnel chance and adding a 30% critical damage boost, making it exceptionally effective in prolonged engagements. To get the blueprint, engage in mini-games or use 8,000 Starchrom at the Blueprint Shop. For the best results, crafting the Tier V version is advised.

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 applying "The Bull’s Eye" to targets, heightening their vulnerability and enhancing the shrapnel effect. Alternatively, the Recurve Crossbow can be used to apply "The Bull’s Eye" upon weakspot hits, providing a 15% critical rate boost against marked targets for 10 seconds, setting up the primary weapon for devastating damage.

Melee Weapon – Long Axe

The Long Axe acts as a supportive melee weapon. Its "Fortress Warfare" ability, triggered by heavy attacks, creates a protective zone that bestows Heavy Armor on allies, improving team survivability and overall durability.

Armor Items

The Lonewolf set is ideal for the Shrapnel build, enhancing 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: Boosts critical hit rate by 1% after each shrapnel trigger, stacking up to 20 times.
• Crit Amplifier: Enhances 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): Boosts damage against marked targets.
• Crit Booster (Gloves): Further increases critical hit rate.
