Once Human: How To Fish

Once you load up Once Human and create your first character, you'll be faced with an important decision - you can choose between either a PvE server or a PvP server . There are some key differences between the two which should impact your decision, especially if you're playing alone or if you plan to jump into the game with a pre-existing guild.

While you're reeling, directional inputs will appear next to the Reel icon. Press and hold the button that appears to tire the fish out. Do that enough times, and you'll eventually reel it in completely. With fish in hand, you'll be able to cook even more kinds of food in Once Human .

Once Human gives players two main weapon slots along with a melee weapon. During the tutorial, players will be given the Crossbow, which will act as their first ranged weapon that fires arrows that can be picked up and endlessly used as long as they are retrieved.

Overlook Town is going to be one of your first bigger settlements to discover in Once Human . The smaller settlement discoveries are easier to handle because you can find the loot crates better with a smaller playing ground. Overlook Town has a lot of different buildings, making it hard to know where to look.

Later on during the season, full scale guild v guild combat can take place. These are full-on battles with dozens of players on each side fighting over territory control and important late-game resources.

When in the Gear Workbench menu, players can select which gun type and tier they want to craft. Along the bottom of the weapons, menu will be the various parts that need to be crafted to make that weapon. You'll need enough materials to make all three parts at once , as one part can't be made and set aside, all three parts will need to be crafted at the same time, making the gun in the process. While guns are useful tools, players should first secure a steady source of food and water .

The Weapon Crate is the easiest to spot in Overlook Town. It sits ominously in the center of a small stadium in with a broken screen. If you walk too close to the broken screen, a mini-boss fight will ensue against a giant deviant.

Echo Stones are only available in PvP. Why does this matter? Because if you return to base and purify an Echo Stone, you'll get a Starchrom reward - this is the primary currency used to purchase cosmetics in Once Human. These rewards are not available in PvE servers.

As a solo player, this might be frustrating, as the grind needs to begin again. Generally, these sorts of seasonal wipe models are preferential towards groups of players who can quickly grind up the required resources.

Despite the potential infinite ammo of a crossbow, the weapon reloads very slowly and isn't ideal when dealing with the bigger enemies found throughout the world. Bullets shot from guns can't be picked up, but still offer a much higher damage per second output than the crossbow and many melee weapons. Playing with friends and using guns can make even the strongest enemies easy fights.

The first step in crafting a gun is to go into the Crafting tree of the Memetics menu and pick the Essential Tools then Gear Workbench upgrades . The second upgrade will give players the ability to build the Gear Workbench, where guns are actually crafted. By interacting with a Gear Workbench, players can choose what kind of gun they want to craft and what tier to craft. Higher-tier guns will require rarer materials but will deal higher base damage.

Updated August 16, 2024 by Marc Santos: The mid-August patch for Once Human introduced new content, balance changes, and a revamped fishing system meant to reduce the frustrations players have been experiencing with the mechanic.

This is the toughest crate to find unless you explore each building thoroughly. The Gear Crate in Overlook Town is located inside the basement of the Panorama grocery building. Once inside the building, walk all the way to the back where you will find storage. To your right, there should be double doors leading to the basement. The only notable thing in the basement is the Gear Crate.
