How PvP works in Once Human
PvP in Once Human works in a few ways,depending on what serveryou have chosen to play on. In PvP servers, which is how the team at Once Human want you to play, there isa much higher risk of getting into a gunfight. In the PvE servers,only certain locationswill be open to possible attacks from other players.
Chaos mode
When playing Once Human, it is possible for yourself and your squad toenter a Chaos Mode by holding down P. During this time, in Once Human PvP servers, you can attack any other players and their camps. However, you will be marked and vulnerable to attack from other players also.
While in Chaos State,inflicting damage on other players will keep the Chaos gauge full. Being passive will eventually dwindle it down to nothing. Chaos state in Once Human works differently depending on the server you are in.
PvE servers
These servers are for players who would prefer tofocus more on crafting and exploration. Of course, there will be threats from the monsters in the game, butother players cannot attack you unless you’re in certain zones.
When a player enters Chaos State, they can only attack other players in Chaos State in Once Human PvE servers. Players not in this state or in the Once Human PvP zones areinvulnerable to attacks.
PvP servers
In these PvP servers, players in Chaos State can fight anyone and anything they choose in Once Human. However, people’s bases with fortifications and defenses will automatically start attacking, too. Players can only attack other playersabove level ten.
Contestable areas and Echo Stones
The contestable areas are zones on the map, such as strongholds, which are shared between worlds. There is exceptional loot in these zones, but it comes with a big risk. Visiting contestable areas willenter you into a Chaos State whether you’re playing on PvP or PvEin Once Human. These zones will be highly populated, and you will be very vulnerable, so gear up.
Echo Stones can be found on the map at random drop zones. Once found, they can be recovered and returned to your base for some great loot. However,picking one of these Echo Stones up will enter you into a Chaos Stateuntil you return safely to your base in Once Human in both PvP and PvE servers. This will leave you vulnerable to attack.
Servers explained in Once Human
When you first enter into Once Human you mustchoose carefully. The two types of servers you’re able to pick from are quite different. PvP servers in Once Human do have quite a bit more going on than PvE servers, but with the added risk of attack.
Once you have committed to a server, you willneed to stay in it. If you want to play on another one,a new character must be created. I would suggest going into a PvP server, as there are a lot more community events and earnable loot. Just make sure you have a good build.
The best PvP Once Human build
This build is going to be focused aroundthe Unstoppable Bomber perkthat comes equipped with the Legendary Pistol, Jaws. This pistol can be picked up from theMr. Wish machinewith a little bit of luck. Keep spending that Starchrom until you roll a Jaws pistol.
I prefer to use a pistol for PvP due to the high damage, high accuracy, and speed of reloading. Havingthe Jaws pistolequipped with explosive rounds will usually drop an enemy in Once Human PvP in about 4 shots.
Weapons and mods
Jaws Pistol – From Wish Machine
The Last Valour – Scar
Armor and mods
This build is heavily reliant on the Jaws pistol to drop enemies in Once Human PvP. The various mods, both on the armor and weapon,boost the crit chance sky-high. They also improve blast radius and damage, meaning with just a few well-placed shots, you can turn your enemies into pink mist.
A number of the items will require a bit of grinding, but the payoff is always worth it. If you’re looking to bedigging into PvP, I expect you’re at theOnce Human endgamealready anyway.
