Dear Metas,

We have scheduled server maintenance and an update for September 2, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT). The maintenance is expected to last about 2 hours, but the actual server opening time may differ. Please manage your time wisely.

This update brings: Storage Search Feature, Fashion Dye Feature Upgrade, new RaidZone feature Portable Crafting, Lightforge Loot Crate Duskfire Breaker, Meta Pass Continuous Activation Rules Optimization, and other content along with recent bug fixes.

After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate: S14 (Epic) ×1, and Colorful Badge ×30!

The recent version update packages are larger, mainly because we are pre-loading map resources for the upcoming [Isles of Abyss] Scenario in stages, while also adding custom dye adaptations for certain Fashion Sets. To ensure more stable updates and displays of future content, some resources will be gradually delivered with recent versions. Thank you for your understanding, Metas. The next update will be on September 16, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT). Please take note of the time.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Storage Search Feature Now Available

Now, simply enter a keyword in the interface to quickly locate the items you need stored in various crates. Say goodbye to the hassle of rummaging through boxes and easily manage your territory supplies!

Fashion Dye Feature Fully Upgraded

To allow Metas to express their individuality more conveniently and freely, we have fully optimized and upgraded the fashion dye feature:

1. Clearer Indicators: Now, all fashion items that support custom dye will have a special indicator added to the top-left corner of their icons. It's now easy to see at a glance which cosmetics can be customized!

2. Visualized Status: New indicators have been added to the cosmetics interface and fashion outfit interface when a dye preset is equipped.

3. Batch Management: A quick-access entry for batch managing dye presets for each part has been added under the fashion set tab, allowing you to coordinate your entire outfit's color scheme with one click and say goodbye to tedious operations.

4. New "Simple Mode": In the fashion set full body dye mode, we've introduced a brand-new simple mode. Turning off "Expert Mode" activates simple mode, allowing Metas to quickly dye the currently selected part as a whole.

5. After this maintenance update, the following fashion sets will have custom dye functionality added:

Tradewind Ace Set, Winter Serenade Set, Ember Reaver Set, Furutaka Demeanor Set, Dino Strike Set, Combat Medic Set, Blazing Speed Set, Heat Storm Set, White Reaper Set, Human Barricade Academy Set, Scarlet Dragon Set, Teddy Warrior Set, Crimson Fantasy Set, Wasteland Sheriff Set, Artiste Set, Punk Puppy Set, Radiant Abyss Set, Brave Gladiator Set, Aerial Set, Nightmyth Graffiti Set, Swiftwing Ranger Set, Golden Years Set, Steel Claw Raid Set, Black Rhinoceros Set.

1. Added glove section partitioning for sets including Tideborn Dream, Stellar Elite, Midnight Kiss, Gilded Summer, and Stardust Mayfly.

RaidZone Adds Portable Crafting Feature

To make exploration and survival combat in the Wilderness more free and convenient for Metas, we have launched the new [Portable Crafting] feature.

1. For items that originally required crafting at a campsite, you can now craft them on the spot by simply opening your backpack.

2. The portable crafting entry is located in your backpack, and the operation is exactly the same as crafting at a workbench.

3. The campsite remains, continuing to serve as a temporary respawn point and cooking area, providing Metas with a place to rest.

This feature will also be available in other modes in the future. Please stay tuned.

Optimization of Meta Pass Consecutive Activation Rules

Optimized the consecutive activation day rules for the Meta Pass. After the optimization, when the Meta Pass expires, the accumulated Lightforge Ingot claim progress will be retained; upon reactivation, the progress will continue to accumulate from the previous amount.

Experience Optimizations

Sign Up for Scenario Server

1. The sign-up lock period has been shortened to 4 hours, giving Metas more time to sign up for preferred scenario servers.

Scenario Honor

To balance the difficulty of Scenario Honor, the following scenario rating metrics have been optimized:

1. [The Way of Winter] Scenario: The score cap for submitting Chaosium Hearts has been raised to 200.
2. [Prismverse's Clash] Scenario:
   1. In Faction War, every 50 Prism Energy obtained increases the rating by 25;
   2. The score cap for defeating players has been raised to 150.

First Person Mode

1. Optimized the shadow rendering of characters holding weapons in first person mode.

Wilderness

1. Parking lot points in the wilderness will now have a higher probability of refreshing with large garage-related facilities.

Vending Machine

1. Vending machines now support trading facility-type items.

Controller

1. Added shortcut key support for the territory hub interface on console. After this maintenance update, Metas can use the controller shortcut key "Y" in the territory hub interface to quickly perform territory upgrades.

Others

1. We have received feedback from some Metas that the cushion interaction hint disappears too quickly, making it hard to know how to exit the cushion. After this update, the cushion interaction hint will remain visible until you leave.

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics

1. Fixed an issue where self-luminous striplight effects on self-built furniture in territories could fail.

Deviation

1. Fixed an issue where the cooldown calculation for the Deviation "Soul Summoner" Phantom Radiance Sparrow was incorrect. Now, the cooldown for releasing Phantom Radiance Sparrow has been adjusted to 0.5 seconds, significantly increasing the trigger frequency.

2. Normally, each Deviation only provides one of three vulnerability types: "Weapon Vulnerability", "Status Vulnerability", or "Melee Vulnerability". We found that the Whalepup, positioned as a Status DMG Deviation, also contained a Weapon Vulnerability effect. To clarify the combat positioning of each Deviation and ensure the balance and standardization of the wilderness combat system, we have adjusted the Whalepup's vulnerability effect. After this maintenance update, its setting of "applying 15% Weapon Vulnerability to Metas and enemies" will be removed, and its Status Vulnerability value will be slightly increased. Its vulnerability effect will be fixed as follows: All damage dealt by the Whalepup applies 40% Status Vulnerability to the target for 5 seconds.

Territory Construction

1. Fixed an issue where animals could pass through certain door and door frame structures while moving within a territory.

Vending Machine

1. Fixed an issue where trait prompts could not be viewed when withdrawing Deviations from the harvest interface.

Others

1. Fixed an issue where key icons displayed incorrectly in the Survival Manual interface.

2. Fixed an issue where crashes could occur during loading on specific mobile device models.

3. Fixed an issue where occasional crashes could occur on specific mobile device models due to weapon vibration resources.

4. Fixed an issue where yellow notification dots appeared abnormally in certain situations.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Beast Riding Goes Live, Gardener Combat Improvements, and Animal Ranching System Optimizations

In this version update, we will roll out a major overhaul to the Class system: the Beastmaster class will be fully revamped with the Beast Riding ability, and the animal ranching system will also see synchronized improvements to ranching rules and info display. Additionally, we will make balance adjustments to the Gardeners' combat capabilities.

I. Beastmaster Comprehensive Revamp

1. New Core Ability: Beast Riding

After this update, Beastmasters will gain a new core ability: Beast Riding.

Beastmasters can directly summon animals and mount eligible ones. Centered around summoning, riding, commanding, evolving, and trading, this update will systematically expand the Beastmaster's abilities.

2. Changes to the Animal Summoning Rules

In this update, we will simplify the animal summoning rules: Metas can use animal items directly from their backpack or hotbar to summon the corresponding animal; using the animal item again will recall the animal (summoning animals has a 10-second shared cooldown).

Regarding the summon count, since the Beastmaster's abilities have undergone a full overhaul, we originally planned for each Beastmaster to only be able to summon 1 animal at a time. However, after the change was announced in the Dev Blog, we received a large amount of feedback from Metas in the community, so we decided to keep the setting where Beastmasters can summon 3 animals simultaneously.

At the same time, we need to be upfront with everyone about the timeline for this adjustment:

1. After the September 16 version update (PT): Due to version development and testing schedules, and to ensure version stability, when this iteration goes live, each Beastmaster will only be able to summon 1 animal at a time;
2. After the September 28 version update (PT): This will be adjusted so that the Beastmaster can summon 3 animals simultaneously (the simultaneous summon limit for non-Beastmaster classes is 1).

This means that From September 16 to September 28 (PT), Beastmasters will still briefly be subject to the summon count restriction. We know this arrangement will continue to cause inconvenience during this period, and this is the result of our previous plan's lack of foresight. We offer our sincere apologies to all Metas.

Regarding animal summon rules, please note the following:

1. Only adult animals with sufficient Energy (>20%) can be summoned.
2. Summoned animals will default to an idle state, and Beastmasters can issue commands to them via Beast Whistle.
3. Each time an animal dies, it will lose a certain amount of Energy.
4. Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon animals with saddles equipped in the wild for riding, but cannot summon them inside dungeons or during combat.

3. Riding Rules

Bareback Riding

When encountering unoccupied wild animals in the wild, or summoning animals without saddles, Beastmasters can mount them directly through interactions.

Each bareback riding consumes a certain amount of character Stamina; Bareback riding is not possible when stamina is insufficient. Animals without saddles will resist the Beastmaster: while mounted, the animal's max stamina will be limited, its special abilities cannot be used, and the animal will attempt to break free.

Saddle Riding

After equipping an animal with a saddle, the beastmaster can ride it stably. Beastmasters can use saddle items from their backpack, drag the saddle onto the animal, modify the gear in the animal's details, or directly equip the saddle while the animal is anesthetized.

While riding, Metas can fire using weapons, perform melee attacks, and engage in gathering, interactions, using consumables, and using Deviation ability without special animations. Performing actions with special animations (such as opening weapon crates, teleporting, or switching worlds) will immediately dismount you.

4. Animal Mount Ability

For Beastmasters, the animal's special ability can be used while mounted with a saddle.

Triggered with the Ctrl key on PC, by tapping the dedicated button on Mobile, and with the R1+X/RB+A button combination on console.

*Non-Beastmaster classes cannot use animal special abilities or benefit from their effects. In the current version, the animals supported for riding are Deer, Boar, Bear, and Wild Buffalo. We will continue to expand the types of ridable animals in the future. Wild animals do not possess active/passive skills themselves; only Beastmasters can utilize these abilities when riding with a saddle.

5. Class Trait Adjustments

Beast Partner

When a Beastmaster approaches an animal, the animal will not flee or attack, and the Beastmaster can directly listen to the animal's thoughts and check its Stats and Traits. The Beastmaster can also use the Beast Whistle to issue commands to summoned beast partners, directing them to perform specific actions such as combat and gathering.

A Beastmaster cannot issue commands to animals that are more than 10 levels above their own level. Animals summoned using animal items default to a waiting-to-mount state and will only enter an assisting state after the Beastmaster issues a command via the Beast Whistle. Non-Beastmaster classes can also summon combat animals, but the summoned animals do not possess combat abilities.

The original three types of Beast Whistles will be merged into one. The whistle is no longer bound to a specific animal and only serves to command animals. Beastmasters will learn its crafting formula by default. The original red beast whistle will be directly renamed to "Beast Whistle" and retained; the other two types of whistles will not be uniformly recalled, and Beastmasters can actively use them to transform them into the new "Beast Whistle". This update will not uniformly recall old whistles, nor will it uniformly distribute new whistles.

Breeding Expert

Beastmasters can craft gene items to perform targeted modifications on animal genes, granting animals unique traits; they can also gradually improve the level of animal trait attributes through breeding and exploration.

This update will also adjust animal trait attributes, adding 7 new attribute groups and adjusting 2 existing attribute groups.

The movement speed bonus for animals while mounted is a separate stat from the movement speed bonus for animals in normal state. The default animal movement speed bonus does not apply to animals while mounted, but it still applies to animals summoned to assist in combat and exploration. (An animal's mounted state and combat state are separate behavioral states; traits that apply to the combat state cannot take effect in the mounted state.)

Wilderness Master

Beastmasters can craft and replace gear and saddles for animals, providing ability bonuses for animals in normal and mounted states respectively; they can also sell saddled animals to other Metas, allowing other classes to ride animals as well. When Beastmasters carry animals, they can also significantly reduce the animals' weight.

*Only Beastmasters can craft and replace animal gear and saddles. Metas of non-Beastmaster classes can only check the gear and saddles currently equipped on animals and cannot replace or change them, but they can still benefit from existing saddle effects. After a Beastmaster trades an animal wearing a saddle to another Meta, the ownership permissions for the corresponding animal and saddle will be adjusted accordingly.

1. Class Starting Items and Default Formula Adjustments

Beastmasters start with the following items:

Starting Partner: Choose one animal from Deer, Boar, or Bear.

Beast Whistle: Issue commands to summoned Beast Partners.

Basic Saddle: Equip it on an animal to unlock mounting ability.

Beastmasters start with mastery of saddle, animal ranching, animal breeding, and tranquilizer throwing needle-related tech formulas without needing to unlock them separately. They also master the crafting formulas for tranquilizer throwing needles, animal troughs, and youngling huts .

7. Beastmaster Usability Optimization

Manual Feeding

To make it easier for Metas to ride animals in the wild, this update adds a manual feeding feature. After summoning an animal, Metas can interact with it to feed it manually. The feedable content matches the animal's preferred food.

Animals with insufficient Energy cannot be summoned. If a Meta attempts to summon such an animal through the backpack interface, the system will automatically open the feeding interface.

Please note: Animals in ranching state within a territory do not support manual feeding.

II. Animal Ranching System Optimization

This update will also synchronize adjustments to the animal ranching system, with the core objective of reducing daily maintenance burden and making ranching rules clearer.

1. Simplified Ranching Maintenance Rules

In the current version, Metas need to simultaneously monitor multiple stats such as Tameness, Energy, and Hydration, which results in high maintenance costs and a lack of intuitiveness.

After this adjustment, the core judgment for animal ranching will focus on Energy:

(1) Animals will no longer have Tameness or Hydration stats.

(2) Rules for growth, breeding, byproduct production, and slaughter yields will all be governed by Energy.

(3) The "Docile" trait related to Tameness will lose its effect and be replaced with a new one—increasing the growth speed of younglings.

(4) Trait attributes will be unlocked sequentially when animals reach Lv. 20, 30, 40, and 50. Traits already unlocked before the update will not be affected.

(5) After this update, feeding Mixed Meat Feed, Mixed Grain Feed, or Mixed Herb Feed will only increase Energy.

After the adjustment, animal Energy will be divided into the following three tiers:

In simple terms, if you want animals to grow, produce, and breed steadily, maintaining a higher Energy level is more important.

1. Animal Status Display and Offline Feeding Optimization

To make farming status more intuitive, the animal list will now include icons for Energy status, Courtship status, and Breeding Cooldown status. Breeding-related statuses will also be more clearly displayed in animal info, making it easier for Metas to quickly assess an animal's current production, growth, and breeding state.

This update also optimizes offline feeding logic so that animal food consumption during offline periods behaves as expected:

(1) Offline feeding only consumes items from the animal trough; items discarded on the ground will not be consumed.

(2) Body Boost Feed will not be consumed during offline periods.

1. Animal Distribution Tracking

In response to popular demand from Metas, this update adds animal tracking to the World Map. All Metas can check the distribution of all animals in the current scenario under the World Map's [Filter - Resource Tracking] Tab. The relevant rules are the same as those for crops and ores tracking.

III. Gardener Combat Optimization

1. Portable Planter Box and Biomechanical Crop Adjustments

This update will enhance the Gardeners' combat capabilities: the Portable Planter Box can now hold different types of biomechanical crops simultaneously, and the abilities of each biomechanical crop will also be strengthened, giving Gardeners stronger sustained damage and field control in combat. To ensure the enhanced strength remains within a reasonable range, we have simultaneously introduced a durability rule as a new usage cost.

Portable Planter Box Usage Rule Adjustment: Portable Planter Boxes loaded with different types of biomechanical crops can now be placed independently, with cooldowns calculated separately. This means Metas can deploy multiple biomechanical units on the field at the same time, enabling richer tactical combinations.

Portable Planter Box Durability Rule Adjustment: The Portable Planter Box will be adjusted to an item with durability, consuming a certain amount of durability with each use. This rule is a usage cost introduced alongside this ability enhancement, used to balance the strengthened biomechanical strength. When durability is depleted, the Portable Planter Box will be consumed along with the biomechanical crops inside.

Biomechanical Crop Grafting Rule Adjustment: After the update, the abilities of Balloon, Rainfall Reaper, Flare Bulbfly, Watcher, The Portal, and Agent biomechanical units will be strengthened and will no longer be differentiated based on grafted crops. Grafting different crops will only affect the cosmetic appearance of the biomechanical units, allowing Metas more freedom in cosmetic matching.

Biomechanical Crop Ability Adjustments (overall enhancements) are as follows:

1. Additional Notes on Usability Optimization

Portable Planter Box Display Optimization: Portable Planter Boxes loaded with different biomechanical crops will now be clearly distinguished on item pins.

Biomechanical Part and Facility Description Optimization: All Biomechanical Parts and Facilities will now have their functions and post-grafting ability effects detailed in their item descriptions.

The Way of Winter & Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve Scenario Permanent Server Merge

Since the launch of permanent servers, we have received a lot of feedback regarding the permanent server experience, including issues such as low populations on some servers, Metas in the same scenario being scattered across multiple permanent servers, and returning players being assigned to different permanent servers where they cannot reunite with friends. Additionally, a considerable number of permanent servers have low active populations, making some game modes impossible to participate in or start. To truly bring Metas in the same scenario together in one world and make the permanent server experience more complete and lively, we hope to move forward with permanent server merges.

After the release of the "Permanent Scenario Server Merge Notice," we received a large amount of feedback and questions from Metas. The dev team is reviewing the scope of impact and plans item by item to ensure a better experience after the merge. After discussion and surveys with Metas, the permanent servers for the "The Way of Winter" and "Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve" will bring a better experience to Metas on permanent servers after merging, as the population is moderate and the gameplay mechanics will not be affected by an increased number of worlds. Therefore, we will proceed with merging the permanent servers for these two scenarios. For "Manibus" and "Endless Dream", as the population is relatively large and the mechanics are more complex, we will evaluate whether to proceed with server merges after refining the plan. During this period, we welcome suggestions from all Metas.

The permanent server merge plan has been updated as follows:

1. "The Way of Winter": Will take place during the version maintenance on September 16 (PT) (covering North America, Europe, South America, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, and HK & MO & TW regions).
2. "Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve": The South America region will proceed at 05:00 server time on September 17, and is expected to be completed within 1 hour. Other regions (North America, Europe, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, HK & MO & TW) will be handled in subsequent batches, with specific times to be announced in advance via official announcements.
3. "Manibus" and "Endless Dream" permanent servers currently have no merge plans. If there are specific merge plans, they will be announced in advance via official announcements.

*Please note: To ensure data security during the server merge, some Metas may be forcibly logged out during the merge. Please wait a moment, and you can sign in again to continue playing once the merge is complete.

After the merge, when your character is migrated to the new permanent server, your character level, supplies, tech level, and more will be transferred to the new permanent server without any loss. The task progress on the original server will be uniformly reset to the scenario challenge tasks and rewards of the current new permanent server, ensuring a consistent experience for both veteran and new Metas after the merge. Your hive relationships will also be synchronized to the new permanent server. For specific merge rules and details, refer to the Dev Blog >>> Dev Blog | Permanent Scenario Server Merge Notice

[Update Preview] Character Customization and Hairstyle Dye Will Soon Be Free

The freedom of personal expression is an important part of the cosmetic experience in Once Human. To let Metas shape their image more freely, we will make the following adjustments to the character customization experience after the September 28 version update (PT). We'd like to give all Metas a heads-up:

1. Free Reshape and Hair Dyeing: Facial and body reshaping, as well as palette hair dyeing, will no longer consume any items such as Chrysalis Tokens or Butterfly Dyes. Metas can visit the floor mirror in the territory at any time to freely reshape their face and body and change hair color without any item consumption requirements.
2. Chrysalis Tokens and Butterfly Dyes Withdrawn from all Channels: Items already obtained will not become invalid. After the update, they can be converted into Colorful Badges (each Chrysalis Token converts to Colorful Badge ×120, each Butterfly Dye converts to Colorful Badge ×60).
3. Price Reduction for Metamorphosis Token: The price of the gender-change item "Metamorphosis Token" will be reduced from 880 Crystgins to 300 Crystgins.
4. Compensation for Recent Purchasers: Metas who purchased Chrysalis Tokens or Butterfly Dyes from the Shop using Crystgin or Colorful Badges within 3 months before the September 28 version update (PT) will receive a full refund of the currency spent at the time of purchase. Metas who purchased Metamorphosis Tokens during this period will receive a Crystgin refund of 70% of the price difference (580 Crystgins each). Compensation will be automatically distributed via in-game Mail after the version update, with no manual claiming required.

For the complete explanation of these adjustments (including conversion rules for existing items and compensation details), please check the Dev Blog >>> Dev Blog | Character Customization and Hair Dye Are Now Free

First Person Mode on Mobile Added Auto-Fire Setting: Bow Auto-Fire Charge

We've noticed that Metas who enjoy using bows have experienced pain points when auto-fire is enabled. To significantly improve the DMG per shot and combat feel of bows under auto-fire, after this update, a bow auto-fire charge option has been added to settings. When this feature is enabled, bow-type weapons in auto-fire will prioritize charging and will only automatically fire once fully charged.

New Survival Scenario: Isles of Abyss Coming Soon

With this update, we will launch the pioneer test for the new survival scenario, Isles of Abyss. Metas who signed up through the earlier recruitment can switch to the pioneer server via the button in the top-left corner of the scenario selection interface after the test begins.

Final Pioneer Confidential Test for the New Survival Scenario: Isles of Abyss.

This ocean world full of mystery and adventure awaits Pioneer Metas to explore and share feedback. We welcome you to join!

Test Duration: September 16 at 9:00 PM (PT), expected to last for 22 days.

This scenario will present Metas with a brand-new maritime survival challenge, featuring the complete Isles of the Abyss map. You will need to explore a cluster of scattered islands, gather resources amidst dynamic weather and day-night cycles, build facilities, and confront threats from the environment and mysterious enemies.

This is the final test for the Isles of Abyss scenario, with the overall test objective focusing more on the complete scenario experience. The current phase is planned as "Phase I: 5 days, Phase II: 17 days" (the phase duration for this test is only applicable to the test schedule; the final scenario phase cycle is subject to the official release version). We highly value your feedback, which will be used to refine future versions and deliver a better experience for Metas.

For more information, refer to the Dev Blog >>> Final Test Recruitment | New Survival Scenario: Isles of Abyss Coming Soon

Experience Optimizations

Mods

1. A Guarantee mechanism has been added to Shiny Mods. After 5 consecutive failed transformation, the 6th attempt is guaranteed to succeed. The count starts from this Update onward; previous attempts do not count.

Cosmetics

1. The Furniture "Golden Shore Pool" in the Furniture Pack "Summer Echoes" now supports swimming.

Events

1. Optimized the Interface prompts for Cross-Platform Rewards. The guidance is now clearer and more straightforward, helping Metas complete tasks and claim rewards more smoothly.

Visional Wheel

1. To ensure the production quality of new Visions, the end time of the Gravity Abyss Vision has been adjusted and postponed to November 18 (PT). A brand-new theme and gameplay await!
2. Abyssal Essence now includes additional exchange counts for Stardust Secret Crate·S14 (Epic) and Downstar/Aero Mod Crate·Nightmare.

First Person Mode

1. Optimized the camera switching logic. Metas can now directly interrupt a character's idle animation when switching to first person camera. Whether resting or under attack, camera switching will be smoother and more fluid, no longer slowed down by unnecessary animations.

Combat Balance Adjustments

In Once Human, the diversity of weapons and builds has always been a key part of the combat experience. We are always committed to maintaining the dynamic balance of the combat system, keeping combat gameplay fresh and strategic, and delivering a continuously evolving combat experience for all players.

The dev team has continued to receive substantial feedback from Metas requesting effect reworks and numerical adjustments for some weapons less frequently used. We plan to rework and adjust the mechanics of MG4 - Conflicting Memories in this update, and will continue to rework other weapons in subsequent updates. We will also adjust the Treacherous Tides Set in this update.

Since the release of the dev blog about balance, we have received much feedback regarding the adjustments to the Treacherous Tides Set. After reevaluating the benefits and user experience following the set adjustments, while keeping the direction of changes such as the 3-piece set DMG bonus shifting from Sanity to HP-driven, and the 4-piece set Shield enhancement, we will be reverting some of the DMG bonuses:

1. The 2-piece set DMG bonus is restored from 10% to 12%.
2. The 3-piece set's base Weapon and Status DMG bonus at 100% HP is increased from 0% to 8%, and continues to increase as current HP decreases, with the maximum remaining at 28%.

The final comparison of old and new effects is as follows:

For more details, see the Dev Blog >>> Dev Blog | September Combat Balance Adjustment

Wilderness

1. Optimized the Ancient One Echoite experience in the "Prismverse's Clash". If Echoite falls into water, it will float on the surface, and you can open and pick it up on the water surface.
2. Metas who teleport, switch world, or respawn at the Worldstone will now have collision between characters removed for a certain time and range. This adjustment will effectively prevent congestion and blocking issues caused when multiple Metas appear at the same time.
3. In the Manibus, Endless Dream, Evolution's Call, and Prismverse's Clash, Wild Buffalo have been added to the Chalk Peak Region.

Territory Construction

1. Optimized the collision detection for some stairs structures within the territory when placed adjacent to each other, improving Metas' movement smoothness when traversing these connected stairs and reducing lag.
2. We received feedback from Metas and have now increased the soundproofing of the Securement Pod. You will no longer hear the cries of the Behemoth from inside the pod, providing a quieter territory environment.

Vehicle

1. Optimized the camera behavior when a passenger leans out and ADS while the vehicle is on a slope. The camera will now be positioned at a more reasonable horizontal level.

Dungeons (non-RaidZone only)

1. Previously, the dungeon reward item "Weapon Body Liner Selection Crate" was incorrectly displayed in the "Weekly Rewards" Slot, causing some Metas to mistakenly believe that this item could be obtained every time they cleared a dungeon on hard difficulty or above, resulting in a misunderstanding. To avoid confusion, we have now moved the display of this Item back to the "Challenge Rewards".

\The actual obtain rules for this Item have not changed and remain "once per character per week". This adjustment only involves the Interface display position. We sincerely apologize for any confusion this may have caused.*

Social

1. Optimized friend invitation flow on console, improving convenience.

Item

1. The durability of the advanced recycling tool has been increased by 100%.

Mobile Storage Space Optimization

1. If Metas notice abnormal storage space usage of the local Client (>30G), they can go to [Settings] - [Basic Setting] - [Memory Optimization] to optimize.

Note: This may take up to 1-15 minutes. During this time, please keep the client open and do not manually exit, as this may cause damage to the client. If you accidentally encounter client damage, you can try uninstalling the client and reinstalling it.

Others

1. PC now supports Intel XeSS 3.0 and Frame Generation. You can enable this feature by going to Settings - Graphics - Performance - Performance Boost. Not only will you enjoy a more detailed and realistic Wilderness, but you'll also get a significant frame rate boost for a smoother, more fluid experience!

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics

1. Fixed an issue where character facial features would clip through certain face accessories.
2. Fixed an issue where planter skin was not correctly applied to Biomechanical facilities within the territory.

First Person Mode

1. Fixed an issue where weapon scope lenses could abnormally turning black when the character was idle.
2. Fixed an issue where some interactable Items outside the field of view could still be abnormally triggered for interactions. After the fix, visual and operation logic will be more realistic and reasonable.

Territory Construction

1. Fixed an issue in build mode where Deviation interaction buttons were abnormally displayed, affecting the normal Build operation experience.

Others

1. Fixed an issue on console where, in some cases, after modifying game settings (such as sensitivity), the settings would occasionally fail to save properly or would reset to initial values.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

We have scheduled the Version 1.4.4 server maintenance and update on March 26 at 3:00 PM (PT). As this update involves online server optimizations, the maintenance period is expected to be longer than usual, about 4 hours (actual duration may differ). After the maintenance, players will receive compensation rewards including Mitsuko's Marks, a Morphed Deviation of your choice, Canned Seafood in Oil, and Specialization Cleaner. Additionally, cross-character sharing will launch on March 28 (PT), at which time players will receive compensation rewards including Starchrom ×15,000, Phantom Cube ×2, and Wish Stone ×1.

This update includes cross-character sharing, the new Chrono Vault event, Lightforge Loot Crate: Nightbloom Sect, the removal of the Controller item, and other gameplay optimizations and bug fixes. Please plan your game time accordingly.

Since launch, we've been closely monitoring feedback from the community and working on fixes and optimizations.

Below are the details of this update.

New Content

Cross-Character Sharing

The highly anticipated cross-character sharing feature is here! Due to the feature's complexity, we will implement it in phases to ensure stability, with full implementation expected by March 28 (PT).

All systems and assets affected by cross-character sharing will be labeled as such in their respective descriptions. To activate sharing for certain assets, players must log in with all existing characters. Characters who have not activated cross-character sharing will be labeled as such in the server selection list.

For more information, refer to CROSS-CHARACTER SHARING - ASSET CONSOLIDATION RULES

* Due to the physical distance between servers for different regions, cross-character sharing is limited to characters within the same account and region. Characters in different regions cannot share assets.

1. Content shareable after the March 26 (PT) update:

Content: Mods, fashion items, stickers and actions (excluding stickers obtained from the Meta Pass), hairstyles and makeup, furniture cosmetics, namecard-related cosmetics, weapon skins, and recipes acquired during scenario exploration.

* After your characters' mods are consolidated, the total number of mods might exceed your Mod Backpack's capacity. Excess mods will be disassembled, prioritizing those with lower levels or attributes. All mod parts from the disassembled mods will be refunded. For more information, refer to CROSS-CHARACTER SHARING - ASSET CONSOLIDATION RULES

Method: Log in with each character to consolidate their assets, enabling them to be shared across all characters.

Eternaland Account Depot: On Eternaland, you can access the Account Depot from any stored item. Items from your Spacetime Backpack can be deposited into the Account Depot, enabling other characters to withdraw them into their own Spacetime Backpacks. You must then spend Resource Points to transfer these items into scenarios.

You can transfer items from your Scenario Backpack to the Account Depot at any time. Once transferred, they will be converted into Spacetime Backpack items. This action is irreversible, and the system will provide a double confirmation prompt. Please proceed with caution.

* Items that cannot be deposited into the Spacetime Backpack are also ineligible for sharing through the Account Depot. This limitation will be addressed in a future update.

2. Content expected to be shareable on March 28 (PT):

Content: Stellar Stairway, Wish Machine, Blueprint Collection, blueprints, blueprint fragments, Starchrom, Phantom Cubes.

Method: Log in with any character to enable sharing. Your account will adopt the data of the character with the highest Blueprint Collection level. Once completed, you will receive rewards including Starchrom and Phantom Cubes via in-game mail.

* All Keyword Effects will be reset, and an equivalent amount of Phantom Cubes will be refunded, allowing you to redeem new Keyword Effects of your choice.

Additional Notes:

1. From March 26 to March 31 (PT), Wish Stones will be unavailable at the Challenge Shop. After synchronizing Wish Machine data for sharing, all existing Wish Stones will be lost. Lost Wish Stones will be reimbursed via in-game mail within 24 hours. Starting March 31 at 3:00 PM, Wish Stones will be available at the Challenge Shop again, with a purchase limit of 1 Wish Stone per account per month.
2. After the March 26 (PT) update, the Returnee event will be limited to one character per account, and its Starchrom rewards will be temporarily suspended. If you log in after March 26(PT), any unclaimed Starchrom will be sent to you via in-game mail within 15 business days. An updated Returnee event, featuring refreshed rewards, will launch with Version 1.5.1. Stay tuned!

Furniture Dyes

After the March 26 (PT) update, you can dye furniture using the Furniture Dye interface at the Designer's Workstation in their territory. Stardust Dye, an advanced dye material, can be redeemed with Mitsuko's Marks at the Redemption Shop and is refreshed monthly.

Each furniture item has up to three dyeable areas, allowing you to customize each area as you wish. The material cost varies depending on the chosen dye options.

Once dyed, the furniture item will be sent to the Backpack, allowing you to place it in your territory.

* To unlock the Designer's Workstation, go to Memetics > Building > Designer's Workstation.

When the furniture dye feature launches, all players will have 11 basic dyes and one advanced dye, Gilded Marble, unlocked by default.

This update introduces 17 dyeable furniture items, including the American series. We plan to further expand the selection of dyeable furniture and introduce additional dye types over time. Starting in May, dyeing support for furniture at the Shop will be rolled out in phases. Stay tuned!

Puzzle-Themed Building Components

This update introduces new puzzle-themed building components: Passcode Lock, Clue Log, and Reward Crate! Unleash your creativity and turn Eternaland into a playground! These components can be purchased from Weber, the NPC merchant in Deadsville.

Anti-Type Effects

1. To enrich the gameplay experience, players can now use Stardust Ingots to craft bullets and tactical items with anti-Deviant effects, or Control Units to craft bullets and tactical items with anti-humanoid effects. Stardust Ingots can be unlocked in the Memetics and crafted with Stardust Ore.
2. Two new ammunition types are available: Suppression AP Ammo, effective against Deviants, and Penetration AP Ammo, effective against humanoids.
3. All offensive tactical items can now be crafted with anti-type effects.

New Tactical Items

The following PvE-exclusive tactical items have been added: Shield Matrix, Mr. Wish's Rocket Launcher, and Wildfire Flamethrower.

For more information, refer to Development Update | Pollution Zone Revamp, Gameplay Tweaks, and Mod Conversion Adjustments

New Memetic Specialization Items

To enrich the tactical options available in The Prime War during the Manibus scenario, we have introduced new Memetic Specializations and their corresponding items: Red Plasma Rocket Warhead, Red Plasma Grenade, and Red Plasma Rounds.

For more information, refer to Development Update | Pollution Zone Revamp, Gameplay Tweaks, and Mod Conversion Adjustments

To mend our fractured world, you must defeat the paradoxical beings, gather the crystals causing the spacetime anomalies, and banish the chaotic projections lurking within their depths.

The new Public Crisis Event: Paradox Space is now available in the Manibus and Evolution's Call scenarios. See you there!

Thank you for your understanding!

Crimson Moon: Dyeable Furniture Formulas

The Crimson Moon event introduces a range of unique dyeable furniture formulas. Once you've acquired a formula, you can recolor it using Stardust Dye, which can be redeemed with Rubies at the Redemption Shop.

Optimizations

Deprecation of Controllers

1. After the update, the Controller item will still be available. You can redeem them at the NPC merchant Severin for the following items: Weapon Mod Crate, Keyword Suffix Mod Box, or Keyword Suffix Mod Box - Pro. Each account can redeem up to 10 of each reward type per week until May 30 (PT).
2. After the update, mod crates that previously required Controllers will now provide their full rewards without needing Controllers.
3. The Warband Shop and the NPC merchants Nisa and Severin will no longer offer Controllers. Where Controllers were previously obtainable from tasks and Public Crisis Events, they have been replaced with Stellar Planula at a 1:2 ratio.
4. In game modes or loot crates that previously required a Controller to claim rewards, the drop rates for Deviations, Memetic Specialization Memory Fragments, complete weapons, and mod crates now match those of the former "full rewards". Drop rates for other rewards have also been adjusted accordingly. For more information, refer to Controller Changes Controversy and Preview Q&A | Planners' Urgent Response
5. If you logged in within the last two months, you will receive a one-time compensation of Scenario Merit Coins based on the character with the most scenario settlements on your account. Refer to the table below for details. Scenario Merit Coins can be used to redeem Keyword Suffix Mod Self-Selection Crates and a cosmetic at the Challenge Shop under Scenario Challenge.

Resource Balance

1. To address player feedback on resources being relatively scarce in the early to mid-game while being overabundant in the late game, we have slightly optimized the resource balance of various scenarios. For more information, refer to Development Update | Pollution Zone Revamp, Gameplay Tweaks, and Mod Conversion Adjustments

Mod Conversion

1. Added a tip indicating the level range of mods acquired after conversion.
2. Increased the overall probability of obtaining high-level mods through conversion. Even when converting mods with the lowest initial level, there's now a possibility of obtaining mods with Epic attributes. Of course, the higher the combined initial level of the input mods, the higher the minimum rarity of the resulting mods, and the greater the chance of obtaining high-rarity mods!

Scenario

1. To address player feedback, we have optimized the phases of Manibus, Manibus (Novice), The Way of Winter, and Evolution's Call. These optimizations only apply to servers launched after the update. Existing servers will not be affected.
2. New dungeon difficulty levels have been added to Manibus (non-novice), applying to new and existing servers.

• Once the Manibus phase is unlocked, players can challenge The Prime War at Apocalyptic difficulty through the same Staroid Restrainer used for Nightmare difficulty. Clearing Apocalyptic difficulty for the first time each week yields high-rarity mods, and subsequent clears will provide more rewards than Nightmare difficulty.
• Once the Stardust Roar phase is unlocked, players can challenge Securement Silos at Nightmare difficulty. Clearing Nightmare difficulty for the first time each week yields high-rarity mods, and subsequent clears will provide more rewards than Pro difficulty.

NOTE: The first-clear rewards for the above difficulty levels can only be claimed once per account. They cannot be claimed by multiple characters on the same account.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

The server maintenance and update is planned for April 8, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT) and expected to last about 2 hours (actual time may differ). Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience.

The update size is approximately 28.98 GB on PC launchers, 442 MB on the PC client (NOTE: If the update is delayed on Steam, it may be downloaded more than once), 2.7 GB on Android, and 3.8 GB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.

This update brings new Tech system rules, a new Battle Pass and Stardust Secret Crate, a new terraforming feature for Eternaland, a shorter mod recovery period of 7 days, plus a range of optimizations and recent bug fixes.

As this maintenance includes a large amount of content, we will be sending special version maintenance rewards to thank you for your support of Once Human: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate S12 - Epic x1, and Stardust Secret Crate S12 - Rare x3. After claiming the Stardust Secret Crates, you can open them from your backpack. You can also get more through the Battle Pass. Please check the Battle Pass for details.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

New Tech System Rules

Since you arrived in Nalcott, the Tech system has been an essential part of survival and a major goal during exploration. However, the current Tech system mainly serves as a way to unlock abilities through leveling and does not fully deliver the experience or value it was meant to provide. With this Tech system overhaul, we hope to better reflect the survival experience of Metas in Nalcott and give each scenario its own distinct pace of progression.

Major Update: Complete Tech System Overhaul

The new Tech system completely changes the old progression pace, officially shifting from level-based unlocks to exploration-driven growth. Every trip out into the world can now lead to discoveries that truly matter!

1. Tech Tree and Unlock Methods Updated

The Tech tree has been rebuilt around four core branches: Survival, Production, Combat, and Building. Characters now start with basic Tech unlocked by default, and future unlocks are no longer limited by scenario phase or character level. You can obtain new Tech in the following three ways:

• Reverse Engineering: Collect facilities and items marked as "cultural artifacts" in the wilderness, then bring them back to the Synthesis Bench for reverse engineering. This can directly unlock crafting abilities or grant Tech Points, making progress much more efficient!
• Tech Invention: Combine materials at the Synthesis Bench to conduct invention experiments. A successful attempt gives you both the formula and the finished item. Even if it fails, part of the materials will be returned.
• Tech Point Allocation: Spend Tech Points to manually unlock the Tech you want. Tech Points can be earned by leveling up, repeating research, defeating Elite enemies, and more. (To reduce grinding, Tech Points can no longer be obtained from exploring Mystical Crates.)

1. Specialization System Removed and Facility Enhancements Upgraded

The original Tech Specialization system has been completely removed! Its effects have now been fully integrated into Tech tree nodes, Tech enhancements, wilderness exploration, and the new facility enhancements

To help you gain full crafting capability earlier, we have removed some mid-tier crafting facilities, including the Intermediate Supplies Workbench, Intermediate Weapon Bench, Small Synthesis Bench, and Intermediate Stove. Their formulas have been merged into advanced facilities, and the unlock nodes for those advanced facilities have been moved earlier. At the same time, we have significantly upgraded the current facility enhancements:

• Enhanced Electric Furnace: Sulfur Chemist, Petroleum Process, and Art of Stardust Decay will now be unlocked here.
• Custom Disassembly Bench: Combines all disassembly enhancement effects.
• Stardust Fusion Stove: Combines cooking-related enhancement effects, including Enhanced King of Cuisine and Permanent Save.
• Enhanced Supplies Workbench: All effects have been further improved, and crafting time has been greatly reduced.
• Power Generation Facilities: Increases to the facility limit are back and can now be unlocked through Tech level and enhancements.
• Note: Some overly niche or balance-breaking specialization formulas have been removed. Any specialization bonus facilities you have already built will remain.

1. New Tech Enhancement System

Raising your Tech level grants enhancement points, which can be used to enhance specific Tech and unlock extra effects. Enhancement results are fixed and cannot be reset, but enhancement effects can be traded, encouraging Metas to exchange what they have with each other.

Building and Facility Optimizations

• Load and body type mechanics clarified: Default Load has been adjusted to 100. Body type now affects characters as follows:
  • Heavy Build: Load bonus +10, Movement Speed -5%
  • Normal Build: No change
  • Light Build: Load bonus -10, Movement Speed +5%

Combat and Gear Optimizations

• No level requirement for gear: Gear is no longer restricted by character level. More high-quality lost gear will now appear in the wilderness, bringing more surprises during exploration. Your starting weapon has also been changed to the Rustic Crossbow.
• Eternaland gear import rules adjusted: To make sure every Meta starts each scenario from a relatively fair position, gear brought in from Eternaland will now be automatically marked as "lost gear." It cannot be repaired, reverse engineered, or traded. The "All-Purpose Hand" will also be unable to repair lost gear inside a scenario.
• Gear crafting simplified: Gear can now be crafted directly from materials, with no need for prefabricated components. New dedicated materials have also been added, such as Wood Weapon Body and Armor Lining.
• Ammunition types simplified and output increased: Rifles, submachine guns, and light machine guns now all use medium-caliber ammunition. Advanced ammo formulas have been adjusted, and output has been greatly increased! To keep damage balanced, the HP of high-level enemies has also been slightly reduced. A new drink that boosts weapon damage has been added as well.
• Tactical items reworked: Repeated item types have been streamlined, and the low, medium, and high tier split has been removed. Crafting formulas have also been adjusted.
• Vehicle adjustments: Vehicle repair costs have been adjusted.

Wilderness Exploration and Gathering Optimizations

• Ore streamlined: Tin ore and aluminum ore will no longer spawn in the wilderness. Two new metal ingots have been added and can be obtained by processing iron. The Deviation "The Digby Boy" will no longer collect tin ore. Tin and aluminum ore have also been removed from the outputs of the Mining Platform and Digger Biomechanical, and the output efficiency of other ores has been adjusted.
• Tool adjustments: The number of gathering tool types has been reduced, tool gathering range has been adjusted, and the efficiency of high-tier tools when mining iron ore has been greatly improved.
• Material unification: All tiered materials have been merged into a single tier.
  • Five types of fabrics including Shabby/Cotton/Carbon Fiber have been unified as Fabric.
  • Five types of parts including Rusted/Standard/Refined have been unified as Parts.
  • Five types of plastics such as Scrap/General/Fireproof have been unified as Plastic.
• Scrap cleanup: The amount of useless scrap has been greatly reduced. All useless scrap is now standardized as Normal rarity and can be selected instantly for one-click disassembly at the Disassembly Bench.
  • New interactive scrap items: Footballs can be thrown to stun enemies, books can be read to gain Tech Points, and rescue bots can help recover the items you drop when you die!
  • The rewards and redeemable content of Deviations "Paper Doll," "H37," and "Wish Box" have been updated to match the new item categories.
• Seed drop rate reduced: Wild seed drops have been lowered while still covering daily planting needs, helping free up backpack space.
• Legacy item conversion: Legacy items will be marked automatically, and Metas can convert them into their corresponding new items at any time.
• The Durability of the Gazocchio has been reduced.
• While riding a bicycle, Energy and Hydration will now be consumed faster by default. Early-game tasks have also been adjusted to match the Tech tree changes.
• Polluted Water output in Pollution Zones has been greatly increased.
• Sea Rabbits now drop a new item, Neurotoxin, which can be used to craft tranquilizer needles.

A new reward system, the Stardust Secret Crate, is now live. Legendary Deviation skins are now available!

Stardust Secret Crate Rewards

With the Battle Pass S12 update, Metas can now enjoy the new reward system, the Stardust Secret Crate. It includes a wide range of rare cosmetics and valuable item rewards, including:

- New Deviation skins, with a chance to obtain Legendary Deviation skins!

- More than 50 cosmetic items for full personalization!

- Rare token rewards such as Lightforge Ingots, Lightforge Relics, Silver Keys, and Colorful Badges can also drop at random. See if luck is on your side!

- Rare Stardust Secret Crates can also drop practical rewards such as Starchrom, Mod Dust, and rare items!

\Rare Stardust Secret Crates can only be obtained through active play, and cannot be purchased in larger amounts. Higher-rarity Stardust Secret Crates do not drop any items related to supplies or stat progression.*

Stardust Secret Crate Rules and Drop Rates

Stardust Secret Crates are updated alongside each Battle Pass. The current one is Stardust Secret Crate S12.

Each season's Stardust Secret Crate includes its own limited items, which can only drop from that season's crate. Retired crates may return from time to time, giving Metas another chance to obtain them.

Stardust Secret Crates are divided into four rarities: Rare, Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. Rare, Epic, and Legendary crates each have 3 upgrade chances when opened, and may upgrade into a higher-rarity crate with even rarer rewards!

\You can skip the upgrade animation. The upgrade result will still be processed normally.*

Different crate rarities have different drop pools. Items and currencies related to supplies or stat progression only drop from Rare Stardust Secret Crates, and more of those cannot be obtained through paid methods. You can check the detailed drop list for each crate rarity in your backpack, or view the Stardust Secret Crate drop rate notice here: https://www.oncehuman.game/news/update/20260408/40780_1295185.html

How to Obtain Stardust Secret Crates

1. Battle Pass: Each season's Battle Pass includes Stardust Secret Crates of different rarities. Raise your Battle Pass level to get them.
2. Daily Battle Pass Exp rewards: Whether you log in or not, you can earn a set number of chances each day to obtain the Rare Stardust Secret Crate. From Monday to Thursday, you get 2 chances per day. From Friday to Sunday, you get 4 chances per day. These reset at 6:00 server time. As long as you have available chances, every 300 Battle Pass Exp earned lets you claim 1 Rare Stardust Secret Crate from the Battle Pass screen. These chances can stack up to 20. Once you have 9 or more available chances, double rewards will activate, letting you claim 2 Rare Stardust Secret Crates for every 300 Battle Pass Exp. This makes it easier to collect them quickly, so do not forget to claim them.

\ When a new Battle Pass begins, your available chances will not be cleared. Any unclaimed Rare Stardust Secret Crates will be sent later by mail. Purchasing Battle Pass levels with Crystgin will not increase the number of Stardust Secret Crates you can claim.*

1. More ways to obtain them: Additional ways to get Stardust Secret Crates will be added in the future, including event rewards and currency exchange. Please keep an eye on in-game events and system updates.

Eternaland Terraforming Feature

Tired of the same old terrain? Want to flatten hills and build a grand palace, or establish highlands to create a sky garden? Now, the power to reshape the world is in your hands!

How to obtain it: Go to the Eternaland Shop and purchase the new Terrain Modifier.

Guide

1. Place the Terrain Modifier in the hotbar.
2. Switch to the Terrain Modifier to enter editing mode and transform the island's terrain.

Four Main Functions

Create: Create land out of nothing. Build a mountain with splendid views, or a bridge of earth across a valley. Anything is possible!

Delete: Excavate the terrain. Clear away obstructive landforms or create depressions.

Flatten: Great for perfectionists! Instantly flatten any area to create a perfect foundation for huge structures.

Recover: Made a mistake? Don't worry. Use this function to recover the terrain to its initial state.

Additional Notes:

1. To protect the island's ecosystem and basic structure, water regions and areas near caves currently cannot be terraformed.
2. If you play on mobile, please install the latest app version from the app store to make sure the feature works properly.

New Gardener-exclusive Formula: Gardening Shears

Good news for Metas who love nature! To improve the gathering experience for basic wilderness resources, we have added a new class-exclusive formula for Gardeners that is unlocked by default: Gardening Shears.

How It Works:

After crafting Gardening Shears at the crafting bench, you only need to keep them in your backpack for the effect to activate automatically. When gathering from trees and shrubs in the wilderness, your yield will be doubled!

Limitations:

Please note that because Gardening Shears prune more thoroughly, you will no longer get plant seeds while enjoying doubled resource output. If you are in the early stages of base building and need a huge amount of wood and plant fiber, these shears will be an excellent tool for getting started!

\ Because of the material adjustments, the types of materials that Gardeners can plant have also changed.*

RaidZone Updates

RaidZone Shrapnel Grenade Balance Adjustments

To make combat in RaidZone fairer and more strategic, we have made targeted balance adjustments to the Shrapnel Grenade.

• Damage: Explosion damage has been reduced from 120 to 90.
• Range: Explosion radius has been reduced from 5 meters to 3 meters.
• Visual update: The warning ring shown when throwing a grenade has also been adjusted so it matches the actual blast radius more accurately.

RaidZone Territory Monitoring Added to Desktop Widget

In the dangerous world of RaidZone, territory security is more important than ever!

To help Metas keep track of what is happening at home anytime and anywhere, we have added a new "RaidZone" module to the device desktop widget.

You can now place this module directly on your phone or device home screen. Even when you are not in the game, you can still monitor your territory security in real time and stay one step ahead!

RaidZone Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue that allowed building inside the bounds of certain settlements.

Custom Server Updates

1. Disabled settings: Max Uses of Specialization Memory Fragments and Specialized Cleaning Fluid Usage Count.
2. New settings added:
   1. Disable microphones in Nearby Channel.
   2. Disable Deviations, disable firing weapons, and disable tactical items.
3. Character deletion cooldown on Custom Servers has been reduced to 1 hour.
4. The adjustable upper limit for starting Memetics Points has been increased to 2,000,000.

Experience Optimizations

Mods

1. The guaranteed single recovery period for the Legendary Mod Selection Crate has been shortened to 7 days. This will take effect after its first recovery following release.

Shop

1. Adjusted the layout of trait categories in the Fashion Trait interface and improved the grouped display of color-change traits.
2. Added a quick option that automatically equips or removes the corresponding Fashion Traits when you equip or remove Fashion items.
3. Switching between saved appearance presets no longer costs additional Chrysalis Tokens or Butterfly Dye. Appearance customization costs in the Floor Mirror have now been unified with those in the Appearance interface.

Visional Wheel

1. We have noticed that the current description for the "Deviation Selection Crate" in the Visional Shop is not clear enough and has caused confusion for Metas. We sincerely apologize for this misunderstanding.
2. To clarify, the Deviation level from the selection crate is random. It can be anywhere from Level 1 to the highest possible level, and it does not guarantee Level 3 or above. The phrase "with a chance for Skill Rating of 3 or above" was meant to say that there is a chance to obtain a Lunar Oracle Deviation with a Skill Rating of Level 3 or above. We understand that this wording was easy to misread. We will revise the related text to make the description clearer and more accurate. Thank you for your understanding and support. We will keep improving the game experience for everyone!

Wilderness

1. You can now use Electric Drills and Explosives underwater.

Pollution Zones

1. The cost of protection in Pollution Zones will no longer change based on the number of buildings. It will now use a fixed value based on the Pollution Zone level. This means Metas who enjoy building will see much lower protection costs in Pollution Zones.
2. Improved V's guidance in Pollution Zones to reduce its impact on player movement and general gameplay.

Deviation

1. Deviation fusion time has been adjusted to 5 minutes.

Scenario Honor

1. Improved how the maximum score is displayed in Scenario Honor.

Bug Fixes

Other

1. Fixed an issue where V's shadow projection displayed incorrectly.
2. Fixed an issue where 3-star Green blueprints did not grant transformed appearances. For Green blueprints that have already been unlocked and upgraded to 3 stars, the transformed appearances have now been added directly to the appearance system.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

We've optimized the PC client's disk usage. After installing the full update (approximately 73 GB, actual size may vary), the game will take up about 18–20 GB less space while delivering improved performance. Following the maintenance, all players, regardless of platform, will receive the following compensation: Furniture Formula: Pipe Wall Lamp, Starchrom ×1,500, Mitsuko's Mark ×200, and Colorful Badge ×100.

We have scheduled the Version 1.6.1 server maintenance and update for May 21 at 4:00 PM (PT). The maintenance is expected to last about 2 hours, but the actual duration may differ. Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience.

3. Player-Driven Progress and Multiple Endings: Dream Zones and Deviants will evolve as the scenario progresses, presenting ever-changing challenges. As Meta-Humans eliminate Eternal Dreamers, they will reduce the durations of Phases I to V, intensifying the scenario's pace and difficulty. Your collective efforts to purge the Eternal Dreamers will also decide the world's fate. Will the world be saved, or will you witness its ultimate destruction? The outcome rests entirely in your hands.

2️⃣ Once Human: RaidZone

In the wild, everyone is both hunter and prey. It's the survival of the fittest.

Meta-Human, you fight for yourself alone. Defeat your enemies, defy fate, and take on the world—or be destroyed. Once Human: RaidZone is a new series for players seeking pure and intense PvP action. Delve into the raid zone and fight to survive!

Gameplay Features:

1. Skill-Based Combat: All characters start on equal footing, with no inherited supplies, blueprints, or mods. Once Human: RaidZone also features dedicated equipment and skill trees designed for competitive play. All weapons and armor must be acquired within the game realm—perfect for players who prefer a pure PvP experience.
2. Hardcore PvP: In this hostile world, nowhere is safe. Your territory structures can be destroyed by rival Meta-Humans, and you remain vulnerable to attacks even when offline. Plunder is the law of the land, and defeat means losing your gear and supplies. To survive, you must band together with allies to fortify your territory with defensive installations and traps. Stockpile weapons, ammunition, and explosives to raid rival territories, but stay vigilant for ambushes and hidden traps. Combat Deviations also feature new abilities and mechanics, offering unique tactical advantages that add strategic depth. Will you be the last one standing?
3. Make the Ultimate Choice: Ursula, your enigmatic Deviation companion, evolves alongside you, her power growing with every Realm Fragment you collect. When fully strengthened, she can summon the devastating Manibus, dealing tremendous area damage and opening a massive dimensional Hollow. However, wielding the Original Entity's power will also destabilize the realm and hasten the arrival of the settlement phase. You must choose whether or not to wield this catastrophic power. For more information, refer to the announcement: Devs Talk - Once Human: RaidZone and Endless Dream - Coming Soon to Early Access!

Once Human Development Team

Introduction

As an open-world survival game with crafting elements, Once Human's goal is to let players forge their own stories and adventures while exploring Nalcott. Only by supporting diverse playstyles, self-paced progression, and synergistic teamwork can we transform Nalcott into a land where every journey matters.

Initially, we pursued this vision through the Memetic Specialization system. However, long-term data has shown that its randomized mechanics and level-gated unlocks presented restrictions that encouraged min-maxing rather than freedom. Many players end up settling into meta builds, contrary to our goal of playstyle diversity. With this in mind, we're introducing a class system.

This isn't a traditional MMO class system. In Once Human, classes aren't rigid archetypes but specialized jobs that enrich your character progression and exploration of Nalcott.

The first classes available—Chef, Gardener, and Beastmaster—will be available for public testing after the July 3 update.

Classes

Each class has a core ability and three unique talents. The core ability fundamentally alters the gameplay rules, while the talents synergize with it to sharpen each class's distinct identity and role.

Chef

The Chef is inspired by real-life cooking, where novices follow recipes, experts refine them, and masters invent them. Breaking from the formula-based cooking system, Chefs can freely combine ingredients to create innovative dishes with dynamic effects. The Glutton talent allows Chefs to stack dish effects, maximizing their benefit from these culinary creations. To record and utilize their recipes, each Chef starts with two items:

• Starting Item
  • Campfire Stove: A portable cooking facility that can be quickly deployed outside your territory. Fully solar-powered, it doesn't require logs or fuel to start making delicious dishes. You can also place dishes on the Campfire Stove for others to use.
  • Gourmet Atlas: Gourmet hunters use this to note down their creative recipes. All creative cooking dishes you've made will be recorded inside.
• Core Abilities
  • Creative Cooking: Freely choose ingredients to craft unique dishes without being restricted by recipes. During creative cooking, there's a chance for a Success that grants the dish enhanced effects with longer durations.
• Talents
  • Glutton: Can consume more food than normal to gain up to 2 food effects and 2 drink effects simultaneously.
  • Ingredient Scent: Has a sharp nose for ingredients, with a chance to obtain bonus ingredients when gathering from Fridges, Beverage Machines, and Food Crates in wilderness settlements.
  • Fine Cuisine: Has a refined palate. Consuming the same creative dish repeatedly will enhance its dish and ingredient effects and durations. Dishes that use different ingredients don't count as the same.

We will also revamp some existing dishes with redesigned ingredient combination effects and fewer repetitive buffs, so even non-Chef players can enjoy creative cooking!

Gardener

It's known that grafting crops with each other can completely transform their growth patterns. But in Nalcott, you can even graft crops with biomechanical parts. Picture this surreal scene: In a post-apocalyptic wasteland overrun by Deviants, a row of plants stand guard to protect their home. And Biomechanical crops aren't just useful in combat—they can produce and gather resources too. The Portable Planter Box also allows Gardeners to carry biomechanical crops with them, assisting them in both combat and gathering beyond the territory.

• Starting Item
  • Portable Planter Box: Used to store biomechanical crops or cultivate seeds on the go.
  • Environment Detector: Tracks nearby environmental conditions when held in the hand.
• Core Abilities
  • HP Sewing: Specializes in crops and biomechanics. Can graft crops with other crops or biomechanical parts to yield dual-stat crops or special biomechanical crops. Biomechanical parts are sometimes dropped by Biomechanical Deviants in the wilderness.
• Talents
  • Environmental Expert: Deeply attuned to the natural world. Equipped with an Environment Detector that monitors environmental parameters in real time, and can craft items to restore and enhance soil conditions.
  • Portable Planting: Has a Portable Planter Box that can store biomechanical parts or process mature crops to mass-produce seeds.
  • Greenhouse Technology: Has a Greenhouse Module that can manipulate crop growth environments.

We will also add a Fertility parameter to the soil in the wilderness. Crops planted in fertile soil have a higher chance of yielding bountiful harvests. Growing crops reduces the soil's fertility, but it can be replenished with Soil Solution. Soil will also naturally recover fertility over time. (Low fertility does not result in lower yields, but high fertility will provide bonus effects.)

Beastmaster

In the past, animals in Once Human were just livestock for producing resources, offering no opportunity for interaction, companionship, and growth. But with the Beastmaster class, players can now understand animal conversations and communicate with them freely. On Nalcott, Beastmasters can unleash the full potential of their animal companions. Lead a pack of wolves into battle against Rosetta, have a grizzly bear help you fish for salmon, or use a rabbit's burrowing skills to unearth rare delicacies hidden underground.

• Starting Item
  • Beast Whistle: Summons a Beast Partner to assist in exploration outside the territory. You can link an animal to your Beast Whistle in your territory.
  • Starting Partner: Pick your starting partner: Pongo, Misha, or Shiro.
    • Pongo: A green boar that excels at gathering. Can also forage for rare items.
    • Misha: A golden bear with a larger build than most, serving as a solid wall in battle.
    • Shiro: A white wolf that is a late bloomer with the potential to become an alpha. Capable of evolving through battles.
• Core Abilities
  • Beast Partner: Uses a Beast Whistle to summon and command a Beast Partner to fight, gather, or mine. The Beast Partner can be changed in the territory.
• Talents
  • Beast Whisperer: Understands the language of beasts. Wild animals will neither attack nor flee from the Beastmaster, who can also view wild animals' stats and traits.
  • Breeding Expert: Uses mutant genes to change animal traits and raise Beast Partners who can grow constantly.
  • Wilderness Master: Crafts gear for the Beast Partner to strengthen their combat, gathering, production, and growth abilities.

Notes

1. Launch Time: The class system will enter public testing after the anniversary update on July 3.
2. Availability: The class system will be available in all non-novice scenarios, excluding Once Human: RaidZone.
3. You can choose your class in the wilderness after creating a new character on a server and completing the tutorial tasks. For existing characters, we will issue a unique item that allows you to change your class immediately.
4. If you cannot decide on a class or prefer not to use the class system, you can choose the Freelancer class. The Freelancer class has no unique abilities, but will be given a class-change item.
5. We will regularly refine and balance the class system based on your feedback, as well as add more classes. When that happens, we will issue class-change items to allow you to reselect your class.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

We'll be taking the servers offline for maintenance on April 22 at 16:00 (PT) to roll out Version 1.5.1. Downtime is expected to last roughly three hours (the actual duration may differ). Please plan your play‑time accordingly. When maintenance ends, mobile pre‑download opens on the official site. Mobile login becomes available on April 23 at 17:00 (PT) with data shared between PC and mobile.

This update brings a new Bicycle vehicle, new reward events, optimizations, and bug fixes. New scenarios and the Visional Wheel will arrive in May. Stay tuned!

Below are the details of this update:

New Content

New Vehicle: Bicycle

Build a Bicycle in the Vehicle Garage (unlocked via the "Vehicle Garage" Memetic) and hit the stunt stage!

New Wilderness Character Standing Actions

We've added a new feature that lets you showcase your character's standing actions in the wilderness! You'll find this feature in the Actions tab, and it supports exclusive actions from Legendary cosmetic sets. We've also added a batch of universal standing actions to give you even more ways to express yourself.

New Construction Block Structures

Added half‑size square foundations, ceilings, and walls; roofs with shallower angles; lower stairs; and mirrored left‑right stair variants.

• The changes are as follows:
• Wood Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Wood Stairs 03/04/05.
• Reinforced Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Reinforced Stairs 03/04/05.
• Steel & Wood Stairs 03/04/05 are now Left-Side Steel & Wood Stairs 03/04/05.

New Features

New Blueprint Rating Rules for Novice Server Scenarios

When you finish a scenario and enter a novice server, blueprint star ratings are limited, and those limits are relaxed as the scenario advances. For example, R500 - Memento is capped at 3 stars in Phase 1, 4 stars in Phase 2, and 5 stars in Phase 3.

Once character data is shared across your account, veteran players who join novice servers could end up with a major stats advantage. To ensure fairness, we've introduced this restriction. That said, we understand the true strength of seasoned Metas lies not in numbers, but in their experience and skill. Since novice scenario servers are PVE-only and don't involve PvP combat, we sincerely hope all players can collaborate, grow together, and help build a welcoming community across Nalcott. Thanks for being a part of it!

New Item: Capybara Beans

Everyone's favorite capybaras are now carrying mysterious jelly beans, each with a surprise inside! Whether tame or wild, capybaras will occasionally drop Capybara Beans when idle. Try them out and discover their various effects!

New Feature: Team Lobby

We've added a new team lobby for squad sign-up! Now you can browse all active sign-up squads on your server, making it easier than ever to find the right squad to join.

More value, same price: still just $30!

1) Exciting Privileges Upgrade!

With the new Meta Pass, you'll enjoy the following premium privileges:

• +10% Crystgin rebate upon subscription: Instantly receive 330 Crystgin when subscribing. More value, no extra cost!
• Trial access to top-selling cosmetics in the Shop: While the Meta Pass is active, you'll be able to freely try out the following popular cosmetics: Nightmyth Graffiti Set, Dino Strike Set, White Reaper Set, Western Wildflower - KVD, and Ancient War - Baton.

Unlimited uses during the trial. Show off your unique style!

• Daily Surprise: Starshine Coffer. In the new Meta Pass, the daily reward has been upgraded from Mitsuko's Mark ×10 to Starshine Coffer ×1. Each Starshine Coffer guarantees Mitsuko's Mark ×10, and may also randomly contain Lightforge Ingot ×1, Lightforge Relic ×1, or even more Mitsuko's Marks! Every 15 Starshine Coffers opened guarantees at least 1 Lightforge Ingot!
• Unlock exclusive chat stickers: While your Meta Pass is active, you'll be able to use the exclusive "Gel" chat stickers to stand out from the crowd!

• All previous privileges are still available and are now shared across all characters under your account.

2) Meta Pass Transition Rules

• After the update, the Meta Pass will take effect account-wide. Once any character subscribes, all characters on that account will share the privileges.
• After the update, remaining time across all characters will be combined into your account's current Meta Pass duration, and can now exceed the previous 180-day cap. (For example: if Character A has 100 days left, B has 150, and C has 30, your account's new total will be 280 days.) However, if the total time exceeds 180 days, you won't be able to purchase additional Meta Passes.

Note: You must log in with the character who originally subscribed to activate their remaining time.

• After your current Meta Pass is upgraded, you will receive a Crystgin refund based on the remaining Meta Pass validity days of all your characters, as per the new version's Crystgin refund rules. For example, if you have two Meta Passes with 100 (equivalent to four Meta Passes) and 50 days (equivalent to two Meta Passes), your rebate will be 180 Crystgin.

Note: You must log in with each character to receive the Crystgin rebate for their existing Meta Passes.

• All unclaimed Mitsuko's Marks from the old Meta Pass will be sent separately to each eligible character via in-game mail. After that, you can begin claiming the daily reward crate with any character, but limited to one per account per day.

This is a BIG update, one post is not enough to include all content. Please check out Part II here!

Dear Metas,

We're planning a server maintenance and update on March 12 at 4:00 PM(PST). The maintenance is expected to last about 2 hours, but the actual duration may differ. Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience.

This update introduces non-shutdown servers, Wish Machine grand prize selection, the new Spectral Hunt event, the new Lightforge Loot Crate: Youthful Glory, adjustments to the Journey system, and various optimizations and bug fixes.

Since launch, we've been closely monitoring feedback from the community and working on fixes and optimizations.

Below are the details of this update.

New Content

Non-Shutdown Servers

To allow you to experience scenarios at your own pace, we will introduce non-shutdown servers on March 12 (PST).

To allow you to experience scenarios at your own pace, we will introduce non-shutdown servers on March 12 (PST).

Features

1. After the March 12 (PST) update, open servers will be converted into non-shutdown servers after their settlement phases. The conversion process takes approximately 2 hours, during which the server cannot be accessed.
2. Active character data will be retained after the conversion to a non-shutdown server. Players can continue using their characters on the non-shutdown server, exit to Eternaland, or sign up for a new scenario.
3. Note that inactive characters will not be retained on the non-shutdown server but will be sent to Eternaland. Currently, this applies to characters that have been inactive for at least 30 days. However, we plan to significantly ease this restriction in the next quarter to accommodate returning players.

For more details, visit: https://www.oncehuman.game/news/update/20250304/40780_1215949.html

Wish Machine Grand Prize Selection

After the March 12 (PST) update, grand prize selection will be enabled for the Echoes from the Rift prize pool at the Wish Machine.

How: Go to the Echoes from the Rift prize pool, and select Wishlist. You can then spend Wishstones to select a weapon blueprint. The next Legendary blueprint you draw will be guaranteed to match your chosen blueprint.

Once you draw your chosen blueprint, the Echoes from the Rift prize pool will be reset.

You can redeem Wishstones using Mitsuko's Marks at the Challenge Shop, or acquire them through events.

New Limited-Time Wish Machine Prize Pools

After the update on March 12 21:30 (PST), the following new Wish Machine prize pools will be available for 2 weeks.

Searing Burn: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint 'Pyroclasm Starter'.

Doom Hunter: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint 'Doombringer'.

Rune Burn: Includes the Legendary gear blueprints 'Fire Rune Boots', 'Blackstone Hood', 'Blackstone Jacket', and 'Blackstone Shoes'.

New Scenario: Harvesters' Market

To make trading more convenient, we are introducing Harvesters' Markets to the Manibus, Evolution's Call, and The Way of Winter scenarios. Additionally, the new Solar Power Vending Machine formula will be added to the Vending Machine Memetic. Solar Power Vending Machines can only be built in designated areas of the Harvesters' Market, with each player limited to one.

Vending Machines now also have the refrigeration function of Fridges, so they can keep food fresh for longer periods.

Stardust Chronicle

Players can navigate to Menu > Stardust Chronicle to view all game modes available in the current scenario, along with their descriptions. Map navigation is also available for certain game modes, making it easier for players to locate and access them quickly.

New Event

Spectral Hunt

Spectral Hunt, an event exclusive to Visional Wheel S0: Lunar Oracle, is on its way!

Event Period: March 12 (after update) – May 7

During Lunar Oracles, Morphic Deviants that resemble players will appear in settlements across the wilderness. These Deviants, known as Lunarspawn, will assume the appearance and absorb the abilities of any player they kill.

Lunarspawn grow stronger with each player they kill. Players must work together to hunt Lunarspawn and fill the progress bar, unlocking Lunar Whispers, themed cosmetics like namecards and eyewear, and many other rewards!

For more details, visit: https://www.oncehuman.game/news/update/20250306/40780_1216892.html

We've also updated the duration of Visional Wheel S0 and adjusted the ending times of some events.

Optimizations

Hive System

1. Added the Private Hive feature. If you enable this feature, your Hive will not be searchable by others. This option is disabled by default and can be changed by the Hive leader in the Settings.
2. Added the option for Hive members to invite new members. When enabled, non-leader Hive members can invite friends to join the Hive without the leader's approval. This option is disabled by default and can be changed by the Hive leader in the Settings.

Events

Added a batch redemption feature to the 'Astral Dewlets' long-term event. Players can now redeem supplies in bulk.

Journey System

During this maintenance, we will optimize the Journey system by merging the location of Scenario Challenges and Commissions and simplifying the Scenario Challenge hierarchy. This is designed to help new players adapt more quickly to exploration, combat, and construction.

Changes will be made to the structure of Journey tasks and how rewards are issued, which may affect your current task and reward progress. Due to this, additional compensation will be included with the maintenance compensation.

Deviations

1. Improved the effective range of lighting on Deviations. Deviations can now receive light from a two-story vertical range.
2. Changed the acquisition methods for certain Deviations, as per the following table:

Manibus & Evolution's Call Deviations Obtain Method Adjustment

2. Optimized the visual effects for areas where fishing is not allowed.

Vehicles

1. Improved the rules for parking vehicles in player settlements:
   • Large vehicles can no longer park in player strongholds in neutral areas. They must leave the stronghold within 15 seconds or be forcibly recalled.
   • Vehicles of all types can no longer park in trading zones. They must leave the stronghold within 15 seconds or be forcibly recalled. Additionally, vehicles cannot be summoned inside strongholds.
2. Improved the protection that vehicles offer players. Some builds can no longer damage vehicle passengers when attacking vehicles.
3. Optimized the physics of collisions between railroads and vehicles. Vehicles can now cross railroads more smoothly.

Guidance

1. Added a new location guidance effect for Mimics. When a Mimic is nearby, Butterfly's Emissary will fly toward its location, guiding you to the hidden Mimic.
2. Moved the Whisper feature to the function wheel. You can now long-press Tab to call up the function wheel and leave a Whisper. Crafting the Whisper item is no longer necessary, and the corresponding formula has been removed.

Other

1. All references to "season" in the text have been changed to "scenario". For example, "Season Sign-Up" is now "Scenario Sign-Up".
2. Optimized the performance when talking to Mitsuko in Victor Hammett's hut.

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics

2. Fixed an issue where the player character would float when crouching while wearing high-heeled shoes.

Wilderness

Fixed an issue where, during a Monster Attack, other players would also trigger a Monster Attack when gathering water.

Trade

1. Fixed an issue where some Memetic Specialization memory fragments could not be listed for sale on the Vending Machine.
2. Fixed an issue where the Vending Machine's advertisement was not displayed correctly.

Vehicles

Fixed an issue where the suspension of the 'Pyro Glide' vehicle skin was lower than that of the original skin.

Fixed an issue where the weapon nickname was not displayed when the player was defeated by another player.

Other

Fixed an issue where tips would be incorrectly shown when creating equipment presets in certain languages.

   • The new leader must have logged in within the last 30 days. Selection is based on level and the time they joined the squad. If levels are the same, the member who joined earlier will become the new leader.

Construction

1. To improve territory selection for new Metas, the starting territory size in the Manibus (novice) scenario has been adjusted from 28.8 to 21.6. Other scenarios' territory sizes remain unchanged.
2. Optimized water pipes and production facilities.

Detailed improvements include:

1. Smart Output Management

The Water Pump and Rainwater Collection System now allow you to select their outputs. Available outputs are dependent on the resources of the current region.

Refining Facilities and Water Filters now feature conversion lists, making it easier to view and select desired outputs.

2) Automatic Part

Refining Facilities now support connection to Water Pumps. Water Tanks can be connected to water pipes, and Brewing Barrels can be linked to Water Tanks, enabling full automation from production to conversion to storage.

6) Usability Adjustments

First-Person Immersion Gets a Full Upgrade

We’ve received a lot of feedback asking for first person mode to support more actions and scenarios. In this maintenance update, the developers have carried out a large-scale expansion and rework of the underlying logic and presentation of the first-person perspective. From exploring the deep sea to gliding at high altitudes, from coordinated combat with Deviations to fierce melee fighting, we bring you an unprecedented ultimate immersive experience!

1. Added Supported Scenarios for First Person Mode

To give Metas a more seamless and immersive experience while exploring Nalcott, we have greatly expanded the states and scenarios supported by first person mode:

1. Land, Sea, and Air Exploration

a) Underwater Experience: You can now dive and explore underwater entirely from a first-person perspective, and all items usable underwater have been adapted with first-person use actions.

b) High-Altitude Glide: Now supports entering and exiting the glide state in first-person throughout, letting you experience the exhilarating rush of a lightning-fast dive!

2) Deviations in Combat

After the update, the battle skills of certain Deviations can now be used directly in first-person! This update has implemented most Combat Deviations, including Invincible Sun, Pyro Dino, Polar Jelly, and more (excluding some Deviations with special mechanics, such as Whalepup).

Going forward, we will continue to refine the performance of Deviation ultimates, further highlight the unique traits of each Deviation, and gradually support unleashing ultimates in first-person. Stay tuned!

a) Invincible Sun

b) Pyro Dino

c) Polar Jelly

3) Tactical Maneuvers and Interactions

a) "Aero Leap" and "Slide": You can now use "Aero Leap" and "Slide" in first-person at any time, with full support for flexible movement in all 4 directions, making your gunfight positioning even smoother.

b) Scene Interactions: Full support for first-person interactions such as climbing ladders, using ziplines, and opening doors with card swipes.

c) Shield Generator: We have specifically updated the first-person use animation for Shield Generators in RaidZone.

1. Experience Optimizations

2. Combat and Controls

a) Melee Feel Optimization: We greatly improved the camera bobbing when moving with a melee weapon in first-person mode, and adjusted the transition animations between melee attacks, making every swing feel more impactful.

b) Screen Shake Optimization: Improved the screen shake feedback logic in first-person mode. Screen shake intensity in first-person will now strictly follow the "Screen Shake Intensity" option in the Settings panel.

*Note: Metas who experience 3D motion sickness can lower this option as needed.

2) Wilderness Exploration

Climbing Experience Optimization: We've optimized the trigger timing of climbing actions in first-person mode, reducing stutter and significantly improving the smoothness of parkour and movement in complex terrain.

3) System and Settings

New "First Person Model Offset" setting: This new option has been added to the Settings panel, allowing you to adjust the distance between the weapon model and the screen edge in First Person mode. Whether you're a hardcore shooter Metas who prefers the weapon snug against the edge of your view, or a cosmetics enthusiast who wants to showcase more weapon details, you can now freely customize the optimal position of your weapon model on screen!

Fashion Set Custom Dye Optimization

1. Comprehensive overhaul of the dyeing consumption logic: Dyeing charges will be adjusted from "charging after dyeing individual sections" to "charging after dyeing individual components."

After the update, Metas can freely adjust the dyeing of each section within a component, freely mix and match their preferred color schemes, and are no longer constrained by "separate consumptions for each section." You can freely combine multiple colors on a top, and you can also adjust detail sections at any time.

* The color tier classification remains unchanged; charges will be calculated based on the highest-tier color used in the component, and mixing is supported.

2. Along with the optimization of the charging logic, we have simultaneously lowered the overall pricing for dyeing. After the optimization, the price of a full dye set has dropped by approximately 60% compared to the previous version, making customization more accessible and easier.

3. Currently, only a limited number of sets support dyeing. In the September update (UTC+8), we will gradually release more dyeable sets across more rarities, allowing more of your favorite Fashion items to be dyed in colors that are uniquely yours. Stay tuned!

4. For Metas who have already dyed your items, we fully understand that you have invested time and resources under the previous rules. To protect everyone's existing investment, we will uniformly refund the price difference after the August 24 update (PT). Your existing dye effects will not change—please rest assured.

Due to the differences between the old and new consumption rules, it is difficult to calculate the exact price difference for each set, so we will uniformly refund 60% of the currency consumed. Refunds will be automatically issued via in-game mail within 3 business days after the August 25 update.

For example: Before the August 25 update, Metas A consumed a total of 7200 Crystgins and 2250 Colorful Badges while dyeing. After the August 25 update, at the 60% refund ratio of consumed currency, Metas A will receive a price difference refund of 4320 Crystgins (7200 × 60%) and 1350 Colorful Badges (2250 × 60%).

* If you have any questions regarding the compensation you receive, please contact in-game customer service, and we will verify and handle them for you.

For more information, refer to the dyeing dev blog: https://www.oncehuman.game/news/devBlog/20260812/40781_1310887.html

Server Opening Schedule

To make it easier for Metas to play the Prismverse's Clash scenario, we will open 1 Prismverse's Clash Server every Saturday at 8:00 Server Time.

*If the number of sign-ups is too high, we will open additional servers.

Custom Server Updates

1. Added in-game guidance on how to use Server Host privileges, Custom Server events, and the In-Server Shop.
2. Added Server Host privileges:
   1. Server Hosts can send their location in the chat channel, and other players can click the coordinates to teleport.
   2. Delete server members' territories.
3. Added an official website entry to the Server Settings page.
4. Added entries for all Custom Server features to the mobile function menu, making it more convenient for you to enter the Custom Server.

Weapon Balance Adjustments

After analyzing combat performance and community feedback, we discovered that some weapon builds are not performing as intended, which limits the player's strategic options. To ensure weapon diversity and fair competition, we will make phased weapon adjustments, starting with the following:

1. Hazardous Object

Attribute 2: Reloading Time -40%, and the reload action is replaced by throwing your weapon, consuming all ammo to deal Blast DMG to targets within 3m range equal to 50% + consumed ammo × 18% of Psi Intensity, capping at 450%→480%. The effect benefits from Unstable Bomber's DMG and range bonus, and deals 50%→40% to yourself.

1. Hammerhead

Attribute 2: Hitting an enemy affected by Power Surge deals Shock Elemental DMG of 60%→80% of Psi Intensity to all nearby enemies affected Power Surge. (Damage to the main target is increased to 150%, or 100% if the main target is a player.)

1. Memento

Attribute 3: Each shot has a 50% chance to consume 1 extra bullet and gain +80%→+100% Attack.

Attribute 4 (new): If a shot does not hit a target, the next reload will load 1 additional bullet (capped at 5).

1. Fixed an issue in Prismverse's Clash where damage dealt by Deviations was not adjusted for PvP, resulting in excessively high damage.

Developer Notes

Building on our experience, future balance adjustments will adhere to the following principles:

1. PvE and PvP balance adjustments will be completely decoupled to prevent mismatches in strength.

2. We will avoid making drastic adjustments at once to minimize negative impacts on players' current builds and progression.

New blueprint conversion attempts will be issued after this update. Additionally, other weapon balance suggestions from the community are under consideration and will be gradually implemented based on their urgency. You can send us suggestions via Customer Support or the Co-Dev Feedback Platform.

Content/Feature Updates

No Escape from the Storm Clouds!: New Weapons and Gear

The following weapons and gear will be available in all scenario servers except RaidZone. New weapons and gear for RaidZone will be detailed in an upcoming announcement. Stay tuned!

To make combat more diverse and exciting, this update will bring new weapons and gear. We hope every Meta will enjoy the challenge and visceral firepower they offer while exploring and surviving in Once Human.

New Weapon: Assault Rifle - AUG - Electron Cloud

Wield the power of lightning with this weapon! Master the rhythm of reloading and firing to unleash devastating ion storms upon your enemies.

Core Mechanic: Attacks have a chance to apply Power Surge. The first weapon hit after reloading will create a spherical magnetic field at the target location.

Chaotic Storm: Applying Power Surge to a unit within the magnetic field will generate an Electric Orb that moves erratically. The Electric Orb rebounds upon hitting the spherical magnetic field, dealing Shock Elemental DMG to enemies hit.

Stat Buff: When equipped, this weapon increases all Shock Elemental DMG.

New Weapon: Compound Bow - The Burden of Betrayal

The perfect combination of sniping and AoE damage! This compound bow fully utilizes the Bounce mechanic to blow up groups of enemies with Explosive DMG when fully charged.

Extreme Bounce: Attacks are guaranteed to trigger Bounce, and the numbers of bounces and targets are increased.

Echo Tag: Reload Speed is increased. When Bounce hits a target, it applies 1 stack of Echo. When fully stacked, the target will be visually highlighted.

Explosive Charge: When fully charged, Bounce DMG and Crit Rate are increased. When Bounce hits a target, it deals additional Bounce DMG equal to the number of Echo stacks on the target, multiplied by a fixed factor. (There is a cooldown for triggering this on the same target. After triggering, a certain number of Echo stacks are removed from the target.)

Single-Target Specialization: If Bounce is triggered by a direct hit, but there are no other targets nearby, the number of bounces back to the original target is increased.

New Armor: Glide Pants

These bottoms are customized for high-mobility builds and will completely transform your combat pace!

Tactical Slide: When equipped, the basic evasive roll will be replaced with a slide. After sliding, Reload Speed and Movement Speed are temporarily increased.

Perfect for Archers: If you are currently wielding a bow, sliding automatically loads 1 ammo, and increases bow draw speed for a duration. Pair with Compound Bow - The Burden of Betrayal for fluid combos!

New Armor: Magnetic Moment Top

A powerful field control core for Status builds!

Gravity Field: When equipped, enemy units inflicted with Power Surge will be transformed into "magnets" that continuously pull in other enemies within a certain range. Pair with AUG - Electron Cloud to easily group enemies together and wipe the field.

Comprehensive Chef Class Optimizations

We've received lots of community feedback on the class system. This update will bring comprehensive optimizations to the Chef class. Details are as follows:

Core Abilities

Dish Management: Chefs can now receive cooking orders from other Metas via the Campfire Stove. By completing these orders, they will receive lots of character EXP, Star Chef Popularity, and Energy Links.

* Campfire Stove Management Rules: After placing a Campfire Stove, Chefs can sell basic and creative dishes they've unlocked at customized prices. They can also deploy Chefosaurus Rex and add ingredients to the Campfire Stove to fully automate cooking. Other Metas can place orders by interacting with the Campfire Stove or finding it on the World Map using the Vending Machine view. Completed dishes will be sent to the buyer via in-game mail. If the dish isn't finished within the allotted time, the payment will be refunded to the buyer via in-game mail.

* Star Chef Popularity Rules: Chefs can spend Star Chef Popularity at a Campfire Stove to upgrade their kitchen or redeem special items. There are two kinds of upgrades available:

Upgrades to Orders and the Campfire Stove (only applies to the Campfire Stove and system orders): Campfire Stove: Long-Term Storage, Campfire Stove: Capacity Expansion I and II, Order Upgrade: Quantity Increase I and II, Order Upgrade: Rarity Upgrade I and II, and Order Upgrade: Express Orders I and II.

Upgrades to Dish Effects (applies to all stoves owned by the Chef): Grilled Dish: Slow Roast, Frozen Cuisine: Intense Chill, Canned Goods: Mini Canner, Grilled Dish: Grilling Master, Stardust Dish: Shell Break, and Spicy Pepper.

Items that can be redeemed with Star Chef Popularity include: Star Chef Trophy (limited to one per character), Portable Fridge, and various basic and deviated ingredients (up to 99 of each ingredient per day).

Class Traits

1. Ordering Terminal: To make food trading and distribution more convenient, Metas surviving on Nalcott have established Ordering Terminals at neutral settlements, Securement Silos, and some Strongholds. Chefs can rent an Ordering Terminal and link it to a Campfire Stove they have placed. Other Metas can then place dish orders through the Ordering Terminal during the rental period.

* Rental Rules: All Ordering Terminals start in an unowned state by default. Only Chefs can join an auction to rent an Ordering Terminal. Bids are made using Energy Links. The Meta who bids the most Energy Links will gain ownership of the Ordering Terminal for 7 days. After the rental period is over, the Ordering Terminal will revert to an unowned state, and a new auction will be held. If ownership conflicts arise due to a server merge or other reasons, the Ordering Terminal will revert to an unowned state.

Ordering Terminal Location Overview:

Please check out these posts to find out the exact ordering terminal location:

https://www.reddit.com/r/OnceHumanOfficial/comments/1tbvy5u/ordering_terminal_location_overview_eastern_region/

https://www.reddit.com/r/OnceHumanOfficial/comments/1tbvy8v/ordering_terminal_location_overview_northern/

1. Creative Cooking: Chefs can freely choose ingredients to craft unique dishes without being restricted by recipes. During creative cooking, there's a chance for a Success that grants the dish enhanced effects with longer durations.

2. Glutton: Chefs can consume more dishes at once and benefit from multiple enhancement effects (up to two food effects and two drink effects simultaneously). They also have refined palates for creative dishes, so eating the same creative dish repeatedly increases the potency and duration of its dish and ingredient effects (creative dishes with different optional ingredient effects are not considered the same dish). Chefs also have a chance to obtain extra ingredients from fridges, beverage machines, and food crates in wilderness settlements.

* Note: The Chef's original Glutton, Ingredient Scent, and Fine Cuisine traits have been merged into the Glutton trait.

Class Starting Items:

1. Campfire Stove: A stove facility that can be placed in the wilderness or in a territory. After this update, new stock and order management features will be added to this facility, helping Chefs to manage dish orders.

2. Gourmet Atlas: A field guide that records creative cooking recipes.

Note: After the update, duplicate Gourmet Atlas items in Eternaland will be deleted. Each Chef can only own one Gourmet Atlas.

Class Starting Formulas:

1. Formula: Basic Recipe: Grants the recipes for Roasted Meat, Roasted Vegetables, Juice, Bread with Jam, Pumpkin Porridge, Fruit Soda, Corn Soup, and Fruit Tea, allowing you to craft these dishes.

2. Formula: Advanced Stove: Allows you to craft the Advanced Stove.

3. Formula: Creative Recipe: Allows you to perform creative cooking at a stove without recipe restrictions.

S4 Visional Wheel Preview

S4 Visional Wheel: Gravity Abyss will descend upon Nalcott on May 27 (PT).

Gravity Abyss Gameplay Preview

1️⃣ Gravity Loss Returns to Nalcott

The gravity loss mechanic adds a new dimension to exploration, combat, and construction, bringing new experiences and challenges to Nalcott. With gravity loss making its return, you can once again enjoy vertical navigation and exploration.

2️⃣ The Riftwalker Descends

In S4: Gravity Abyss, the colossal Riftwalker is the cause of the gravitational anomalies affecting Nalcott. Its emergence presents Metas with new opportunities and challenges.

When the Vision begins, the Riftwalker will soar through the sky, scattering mysterious artifacts in its wake. Metas who find these artifacts will receive generous rewards, including Abyssal Cores of various rarities. To open an Abyssal Core, you must spend Gravity Crystals, a unique currency. All information about the Abyssal Cores' contents is sealed within the abyss—an Abyssal Core could contain nothing, or make you instantly wealthy. You must decide whether or not to open Abyssal Cores based on your needs. If not, they can also be freely traded. The choice is yours!

3️⃣ The Riftwalker's Trial

After scattering artifacts, the Riftwalker will temporarily stop at a specific high-altitude platform. Courageous Metas can reach this platform through a rift and challenge the Riftwalker in a multiplayer co-op battle within a vertical space. Metas who pass the Riftwalker's trial will receive lots of challenge rewards.

For more details, refer to the Dev Blog: S4 Vision - Gravity Abyss Preview

Performance Upgrade! Worldstones' True Forms Revealed

Worldstones are not isolated structures, but colossal organic entities spanning multiple dimensions, which they connect via complex biometallic conduits.

Volunteers who step into their beam lattices will be drawn into their internal systems, using the conduits to instantaneously travel between realms. This process is immune to all forms of interference and is currently the most reliable form of interdimensional travel.

In the past, Worldstones were obscured by a cognitive barrier, causing all observers to perceive them as pristine and golden octahedral crystals. Following the irreversible shattering of the barriers, these grotesque entities' true forms—composed of concrete, metallic conduits, and biological tissue—have been revealed. Far from beautiful, they nevertheless strive to help every Meta.

Worldstone Performance Upgrade: The appearance of Worldstones has been improved to better fit Once Human's bizarre lore and atmosphere. Now, when approaching a Worldstone, you will have an immersive exploration experience that's more authentic and mysterious.

Not Unlocked: Cannot teleport, and cannot be set as a respawn point.

Unlocked but Not Activated: Can be set as a respawn point, but cannot teleport.

Activated: Can be set as a respawn point and can teleport.

New Tech System Optimizations

1. Unlimited Exchange of Tech Enhancement Points: You can now go to Challenge Shop > Tech Shop and exchange 30,000 Tech Points for 1 Tech Enhancement Point. There is no exchange limit during a single scenario. (Note: When the scenario ends, the Tech system will be reset and all points will be cleared.)

2. More Ways to Earn Tech Points: To help you quickly advance the Tech tree, Tech Point materials can be obtained by defeating Elites or Great Ones and clearing Securement Silos or Monoliths. Additionally, new Tech Point rewards have been added to the Scenario Challenge system.

3. Return of the Portable Fridge: Due to popular demand, the Portable Fridge will be restored to the Tech tree, and its crafting formula's material consumption will be reduced! You can unlock it via reverse engineering, technological invention, or by spending Tech Points.

4. Electric Furnace Crafting Upgrade: Tech enhancement nodes will be added to the Hybrid Electric Furnace, Stardust-Powered Electric Furnace, and Recycling Electric Furnace. Now, you can unlock Petroleum Process, Art of Stardust Decay, and Sulfur Chemist on the same furnace, massively increasing your productivity!

5. More Items Purchasable with Old Currency: You can redeem semi-finished facilities and Recipe: Nalcott Easter Egg at the Old Currency Shop.

6. Building Load Reduction: The load of items in the Backpack's Building tab (such as Rescue Bots, Electronic Scales, and Microwave Ovens, but not including facilities obtained through recycling) will be massively reduced to give you more space.

7. Increased First-Clear Rewards for High-Difficulty Dungeons: When you clear a Securement Silo or Monolith on Hard or above difficulty, you will obtain a Weapon Body Liner Selection Box (up to one every 7 days) to help you upgrade your gear.

Makeup System Upgrades

1. Customizable Eyelashes: A new Eyelash setting will be added to the Makeup interface, allowing you to choose from various eyelash styles and colors. Changing eyelash color does not consume any items.

1. Interface Optimizations: Makeup items are now colored based on their rarities to make it easier to identify rare options. The Skin and Paint categories now have dedicated interfaces for clarity and ease of use.

2. Interaction Optimizations: Optimized the navigation logic. After selecting View Makeup Preset, you will be sent directly to the corresponding preset.

New Territory Livestock Recall Function

Added a way to recall livestock in your territory. You can now recall lost animals to your current location.

Customizable Territory Lighting Fixture Colors

Your territory, your vibe! You can now set the color and brightness of some lighting fixtures in Construction mode. Whether it's cozy warm lighting or cyberpunk rainbows, your ideal atmosphere can now be easily achieved!

* Note: This function only changes the visual appearance of buildings and does not affect lighting checks for Deviations and others.

New Finished Furniture Disassembly Function (non-RaidZone only)

You can disassemble finished furniture! Some finished furniture and their dyed variants can now be disassembled to acquire their crafting materials at a Disassembly Bench. Build your territory as you wish without worrying about wasted materials!

[RaidZone] Updates

[RaidZone] New Territory Retention Mechanic

When you exit your current scenario, your territory buildings and facilities will no longer be automatically dismantled. Instead, these structures will enter an unowned state, standing quietly in the wilderness, becoming scenery for passing explorers. This also prevents situations where raiding Metas lose out on materials due to the raided Meta exiting the scenario during a raid.

* Don't worry: all collectibles in your territory will be returned after you exit the scenario.

[RaidZone] New Territory Occupation Dismantle Restriction Mechanic

To create a fair and strategic competitive experience, we are adding a dismantle restriction mechanic to territory occupations:

When the occupier successfully occupies another Meta's territory, they will be placed under a 3-minute dismantle restriction. During these 3 minutes, the occupier cannot dismantle anything in the occupied territory. This gives the defender valuable time to regroup and counterattack, while making territory contests more strategic!

[RaidZone] Experience Optimization

To make logistical cooperation among Hive members easier and more efficient, all Hive members with territory permissions can share crafting queues. Members with permissions will be able to claim other members' finished items from their facilities.

[RaidZone] Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue where the cooldown for joining a squad was not reset if a player left a squad and then changed to a different scenario server.

[Custom Server] Updates

[Custom Servers] New Weapon/Armor/Item Customization Function

A new customization function will be available in Custom Server > Server Settings > Gameplay Settings.

1. Weapon Customization: Using existing weapons as bases, you can freely customize their basic stats, as well as design new weapon traits and bonus effects. With dozens of effects to mix and match, you can create a unique weapon of your own.

2. Armor Customization: Freely set basic stats and armor effects across four dimensions, including Survival and Damage Output, with dozens of effects to mix and match.

3. Item Customization: You can now change the names and effects of food and potions.

4. General Feature: All customized content can be renamed and placed in loot crates or the Shop by the server host for players to obtain.

Server hosts, it's time to create an exclusive game mode that belongs to you!

* Customized Setting Limits: To ensure server data security and operational stability, there will be upper limits on custom server settings. The more customized content you add to the server, the closer you'll be to the limit. After reaching the limit, you won't be able to add more customized settings. Server hosts are advised to plan accordingly.

[Custom Servers] Server Host Incentive Campaign

To thank all custom server hosts for their contributions to the game's ecosystem, this update will bring a new incentive campaign. In addition to the standard revenue sharing, there will be lots of bonus rewards to claim!

How to Participate: In the game, go to Custom Server > Community Creation Program > Campaign tab to view and participate in the server host incentive campaign.

First Campaign: Revenue Bash

Period: May 13– May 27 (PT)

Rules: In addition to the existing revenue sharing, we're introducing an exclusive incentive pool!

Experience Optimizations

Cosmetics

1. Optimized the screen effect of the Afterveil vehicle skin when driving at high speed to deliver a smoother and more immersive driving experience with a stronger sense of velocity.

2. Improved the quality of preview videos for fashion traits and other content.

Camera

1. More Photo Actions: Beautiful moments in Nalcott won't be complete without the perfect pose! Static actions previously exclusive to photo preset templates can now be used independently! We'll also add a new batch of static actions, helping you capture more highlight moments.

Trade

1. To satisfy your trading needs, the maximum price for items listed for sale at Vending Machines or the Online Trading platform will be raised to 9,999,999 Energy Links.

Class

1. Increased the types of materials that can be farmed by the Gardener class's Material Cultivation ability. Gardeners can now farm the materials listed below in their territories. Also adjusted Material Cultivation's output to more reasonable levels.
   1. Added Material Types: Flight Stick, Power Cord, Climbing Rope, Tire, Engine, Jack, Connector Firmware, Launcher, Coat Hangar, Diode, Welding Machine, Steel Pliers, Custom Cable, Versatile Screwdriver Set, Oven Mitts, Fuse, and Gunpowder.

Combat

1. To improve the combat experience of Sonivore encounters and provide fairer tactical gameplay, we are reducing the intensity of its mechanics. The Sonivore can now take damage, but it still cannot be permanently killed. Instead, when its HP is low, it will become stunned. While stunned, the Sonivore will continuously recover HP and cannot be damaged. After recovering, the Sonivore's aggro will be reset. Use this mechanic to gain valuable time to reposition.

2. Optimized the notification when encountering a Hoarder. Now, each character will only receive a pop-up notification when encountering a Hoarder for the first time, with no pop-ups shown for repeated encounters.

Pollution Zones

1. Optimized the wild planting interaction interface in Pollution Zones so it no longer prevents players from picking up items.

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics

1. Fixed an issue that sometimes caused female characters' eyes to display incorrectly.

Territory Construction

1. Fixed an issue where, when a player's territory was in certain regions, World information would be wrongly displayed in the World Map icon details.

2. Fixed an issue where, after recycling a facility, the items refunded via in-game mail had the wrong stats.

3. Fixed an issue where House Blueprints sometimes had incorrect previews and could not be used.

Redeem Shop

1. Fixed an issue where the Mod Shop could not be opened in the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario.

Other

1. Fixed an issue where the Molotov Cocktail sometimes had the visual effects of Inky Lotus - Invincible Sun.

We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.

This update brings: new survival facilities and fun Items, the limited-time Lightforge Loot Crate [Desert Oracle], the Custom Server Anniversary event and supplies distribution function upgrade, Collectible storage and Build logic optimization, and various other content and recent bug fixes.

After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate: S13 (Epic) ×1, and Colorful Badge ×30.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Wilderness Exploration New Arrivals: New Items and Facilities Arrive in Nalcott

\Only effective in non-RaidZone Modes.*

A new batch of practical survival facilities and fun Items are now scattered throughout Nalcott. Metas have a probability to obtain the following new Items/facilities while exploring strongholds:

1. New Item: Soccer Ball

The passion of the soccer field reignites in Nalcott! As a consumable item, after use, you can place a soccer ball in front of you. You can kick the ball by attacking it or directly colliding with it as your character. Unleash your imagination and play a seven-day soccer match with your friends in all sorts of unexpected ways!

1. New Facility: Incubator

Depositing a specified egg Item will start a countdown. After the countdown ends, if the incubation succeeded, you will obtain an animal with a random attribute; if it failed, don't be discouraged, you will receive a "Cracked Egg" that can be eaten directly to replenish energy.

*Note: To simulate realistic wear and tear, each Incubator has a usage limit. The facility will be scrapped once the limit is reached.

1. New Facility: Bait Box

After placing a bait box in the wilderness, depositing food ingredients into it will attract nearby animals. Once an animal is attracted and the capture is successful, the Meta simply needs to return to the area near the bait box to withdraw it.

*Note: To maintain the ecological balance of the wilderness, each Meta can only place up to 1 bait box at a time. The bait box will disappear after 60 minutes, so remember to collect your prey in time!

1. New facility: Hand-Crank Generator

No fuel required. Simply crank the stick manually to provide emergency electricity for your territory facilities.

1. Facility Upgrade: Computer

We have made in-depth modifications to the "Whack-a-Mole" game mode inside the computer and added a full-server leaderboard feature. Come and challenge your reaction limits, let all server Metas admire your hand speed!

1. New Item: Paint Bucket

Add some "color" to your apocalyptic life! This is a deployable Item. After being placed on the ground for a period of time, it will automatically explode, instantly covering all players within the explosion range with vibrant paint. Perfect for giving your friends a "surprise" during camp gatherings or group photos.

Experience Optimizations

Collectible Storage and Build Logic

Territory Collectibles, as a symbol of glory and rarity for territory decoration, have always been beloved by the Metas. As the number of collectibles continues to increase, we have consistently received feedback from the Metas: they hope to simplify the management of Territory Collectibles, avoid occupying too much backpack space, simplify their placement logic, and prevent loss/inability to retrieve/inability to find them. Therefore, in this version, we have optimized the storage and build logic for Collectibles:

1. Collectibles no longer occupy backpack space. Instead, like other cosmetics/formulas, they are bound to your account. The Collectibles tab in the Build interface will display the types of Collectibles owned by the current account and their available placement status.
2. Collectibles can now be directly selected for placement from the collectibles tab in the Build interface, no longer requiring placement via the backpack.
3. A single collectible is limited to being placed only once. When the available placement count is 0 and you attempt to build, a pop-up will appear asking if you wish to retrieve the already placed item and continue placing. Choosing to continue will retrieve the already placed collectible and place it in the current territory.
4. If there are unclaimed collectibles in your Mmil, you will need to manually claim them from your mailbox.

Cosmetics

1. Hairstyle/Headwear Color Palette Interface Optimization: Supports on-screen display and free switching between multiple exclusive color palettes.

Visional Wheel

1. Optimized the combat experience in the Gravity Integrator mode. Deviations can now stand on the Gravity Integrator to participate in Combat.
2. Fixed an issue in [S4 Gravity Abyss] where Echoite drops could get stuck in a Meta's territory.
3. Reduced the Difficulty of Elite enemies in the [S4 Gravity Abyss - Aerial Hunt] combat mode.

Combat [Effective in non-RaidZone mode]

1. Optimized the target acquisition logic for the Rosetta Heavy and The New Hire's Chaosium Ray. The ray's visual effect now matches its actual DMG area.
2. Optimized the firing frequency of the Rosetta Heavy and The New Hire's Chaosium Ray, appropriately increasing the interval between two consecutive firings.

Other

1. Modified the display logic for some Interactions during controller operation. When other interactable items are nearby, the action of collecting water will be unavailable.

Bug Fixes

Deviation

1. Fixed an issue in Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve where the Zapamander's ultimate ability could kill Riftwalker Relics.

Combat [Effective in non-RaidZone mode]

1. Fixed an issue where The New Hire's Chaosium Ray caused abnormal DMG.

Other

1. Fixed an issue in the new player experience where Worldstones displayed abnormally.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas

The server maintenance and update is planned for July 22, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT) and expected to last about 2 hours (actual server opening time may differ). Please manage your time wisely. The update size is approximately 7.7 GB on PC launchers, 218 MB on the PC client (NOTE: If the update is delayed on Steam, it may be downloaded more than once), 407 MB on Android, and 411 MB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.

This update brings: the territory construction snap point switching feature, appearance preset data sharing, item lock, a new RaidZone gameplay “Mental Pollution”, a complete Custom Server homepage revamp, the Lightforge Loot Crate summer return, and various other content, as well as recent bug fixes.

After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate: S13 (Epic) ×1, and Colorful Badge ×30.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

New Snap Point Switching Feature for Territory Construction

To help Metas build their territories with greater ease, we’ve added a snap point switching feature in build mode for wall surfaces, ceilings, roofs, stairs, and pillars. Now, while building, Metas can flexibly switch between different snap points on PC using the shortcut key (Shift + mouse wheel) or on mobile by clicking the button (switch snap point), making it easy to achieve more precise building connections!

Appearance Preset Data Sharing

To let Metas more conveniently showcase their unique style across different scenarios and characters, we’ve fully upgraded the save mechanism of the character customization system and officially launched the account-wide appearance preset sharing feature!

1. Cross-Character Sharing: Character customization data now supports account-level sharing. Whether a newly created character entering a new scenario or an existing character continuing to explore, you can directly load and use the shared appearance presets.
2. Auto-Merge and Activation: After this update, each existing character under the same account will have their previously saved appearance presets automatically added to the shared list upon first log-in. (Note: Presets of characters that have not logged in will be temporarily archived. Simply log in to the corresponding character to automatically activate and merge them.)
3. Capacity and Limit Rules:
   1. Under the same gender, the common save limit for sharing appearance presets is 12.
   2. Rest assured that presets added via the above-mentioned "character first log-in auto-merge" method are allowed to temporarily exceed the save limit of 12, and will not cause data loss.
   3. When the total number of your sharing presets exceeds 12, you can still use, edit, or delete existing presets normally, but you cannot actively add new presets until the total number drops to 12 or below.

“Item Lock” Feature Officially Launched — Say goodbye to accidental actions, protect your precious supplies!

Dear Metas, the brand new “Item Lock” feature is now live! From now on, no need to worry about precious supplies being accidentally discarded, sold, or disassembled!

1. Metas can actively lock any lockable item. Once locked, the item will be fully protected: prevent accidental discard, accidental trade, and bulk disassembly.

*Note: Locking is based on item type. When you lock one item, all items with the same name that you own will be protected. Any future items of the same name will automatically inherit the locked status, making it a one-time setup. Lock/Unlock takes effect instantly, and an icon will appear at the top-left corner of the item icon, easy to identify.

1. What Can You Do After Locking?

1. Controls

RaidZone Updates

RaidZone New Gameplay "Mental Pollution" Launches!

1. Some regions will Deviate into "Mental Pollution Zones". Currently, pollution zones are divided into 2 levels. The higher the pollution level of a region, the more severe the mental pollution you will suffer. Please make adequate preparations before exploring deeper.

2. The original "Sanity" will be replaced with "Mentality". When in a pollution zone, Mentality will continuously decrease, and HP will also be lost! After leaving the pollution zone, Mentality will grdually recover. You can also counter mental pollution by sleeping at the camp, increasing pollution resistance, or consuming mental recovery dishes.

3. To counter the harsh environment, all gear in the RaidZone will have a new "Mental Resistance" stat. When the total mental resist of all gear equipped by a Meta is lower than the minimum mental pollution value of the current pollution zone, mentality will begin to deplete. The larger the difference, the faster the mentality depletes.

4. Added 4 survival gear: Anti-pollution Mask, Deep Isolation Set, Gas-tight Helmet, and Mental Shielding Suit. These gear provide better mental resistance but are relatively weaker in defense. This will test the tactical decisions of every Meta!

RaidZone Farming and Breeding Gameplay Upgraded

1. During plant growth, maintaining optimal light and optimal irrigation may grant additional base yield, and there is a higher probability to harvest rare Deviated Plants, or even directly obtain RaidZone exclusive material!
2. During livestock breeding, feeding preferred food will trigger surprising rewards with an extremely high probability, including double yield, higher quality milk and eggs, and a chance to obtain a combat goodie (containing gear, ammo, tactical items, tools, etc.).
3. This Update will default unlock 10 new special food formulas in the RaidZone, including Hearty Pumpkin Meat Soup, Star Sprinter Drink, etc.
   1. Crafting Ingredients: Mainly rely on rare/deviated plants obtained from farming, and high-quality animal byproducts obtained from breeding.
   2. After consumption, it provides effects: significantly increased ore gathering efficiency, increased plant acquisition efficiency, max stamina boost, increased sulfur gathering efficiency, etc.
4. While exploring the wilderness, there is a chance to find a rare item, the "Gardening Gloves." When equipped, plant gathering will always yield Deviated plants!
5. Merchants have updated their buyback lists, now accepting special food and animal and plant products. Metas can sell these to merchants in exchange for a large number of RaidZone Chips.

*Since Meteor Fragments serve as consumables for the Meteor Summoner in RaidZone, the merchant's selling and buyback of Meteor Fragments disrupts the game loop logic. After this update, the sale and buyback of Meteor Fragments will be removed.

RaidZone New Rare Item: Telescope

Added a new rare item, the Telescope, which is a powerful reconnaissance tool for spotting enemies before you obtain a high-magnification scope. Metas can use the telescope to observe distant enemies.

How to Obtain: Chance to obtain through wilderness exploration.

RaidZone Deviation Balance Adjustments

1. ZapCam: Increased the duration and scan range of high-speed capture, providing a longer-lasting and wider field of view when detecting and targeting enemies. As a balance, the cooldown has been extended accordingly, requiring more careful timing of its use.
   • Duration: 1.5s → 6.0s; Scan Width: 25m → 30m; Cooldown: 30s → 40s.
2. Mini Wonder: We found that its control uptime in combat was too high. To ensure a healthy combat experience, we have reduced its duration and slightly increased its Cooldown.
   • Cooldown: 30s → 35s; Duration: 9s → 6s.
3. Pyro Dino: Its suppression ability is currently too strong. To allow opponents reasonable room to dodge and counter, we have comprehensively reduced the flight efficiency of explosive fireballs, fire field residual time, and mind control duration.
   • Fire Field Burn Time: 13s → 5s; Flight Speed: 35m/s → 20m/s; Flight Lifespan: 5s → 3s; Mind Control Fire Dragon Duration: 30s → 20s.

Custom Server Updates

This update brings overall visual and functional upgrades to the Custom Server, making exploration clearer for Metas and display more effective for Server Hosts.

Custom Server Full Page Revamp

1. Three Core Areas of the Homepage
   1. Homepage Recommendations: Divided into two sections: recommended quality servers and newly created quality servers. The new algorithm provides precise server recommendations, helping server hosts gain more exposure.
   2. Modes: Accommodates all Custom Servers, supporting full search and browse.
   3. My Servers: Centrally manage your characters across various Custom Servers, with clear cross-server switching and progress.
2. Exclusive Display Benefits for Server Hosts

   2. Exclusive Gameplay Tags: Add category tags to your server to help Metas quickly understand rules of the modes and join the world.
3. The in-server Community Creation Program page has been fully revamped, supporting one-stop viewing of in-server data, revenue sharing and withdrawal, and server host events. The server host dashboard now presents data, level benefits, and official contact information more clearly, with a quick link to the official website's custom server main page for browsing various information.

Custom Servers Dungeon Custom Settings and Items

The gameplay mode plugin adds custom dungeons: You can edit the name, enemy difficulty, additional skills, Item drops, and access methods of existing dungeons in scenarios. Combined with custom weapons, this creates differentiated challenge and drop experiences.

Experience Optimizations

Button Adjustments

1. To resolve the key binding conflict between fetching water near the seaside and summoning vehicles, the shortcut key for fetching water has been changed to H.

Shop

1. Optimized the design blueprints of the Everlight Sea (Palace Complex): the internal space has been re-planned to enhance practicality while maintaining the building's aesthetic appeal and uniqueness.

Cosmetics

1. Increased the upper limit of male characters' leg length. After the update, your current character's physique will not be affected. Interested Metas can experience it via the reshape feature.

2. Added more diverse interaction poses for chair and sofa-type furniture.

Weapon Balance Adjustments

Since the launch of SN700 - Finale, its extreme single-target explosive Hit DMG has attracted attention and affection from Metas. However, we have also observed its negative impact on certain gamepkay, especially in multiplayer Alpha battles, where excessively high burst DMG within a short time may lead to the Alpha being quickly killed, affecting some Metas experience to participate normally in combat and obtain rewards.

To maintain relative balance among weapons and enhance the multiplayer game experience, we will adjust the SN700 Finale as follows:

1. The maximum stacks of "Reverb" have been reduced from 5 to 4.

2. Each stack of "Reverb" now increases the DMG of the last bullet from 4% to 5%.

Blueprint

Optimized the save logic and operation of design layouts:

1. When saving a design layout, saveable types (Territory, RV) will be displayed based on the save objective.

2. To save a design layout, you must be within the target territory or near the vehicle. Saving is not possible if you are out of range or too far away.

3. The process of using a vehicle design layout is now: after applying the vehicle design layout, select the target in the scene to replace it.

Fishing

1. Simplified the fishing interaction process.

2. Adjusted the QTE control types and added a new continuous click action.

1. Added 6 new variant fish: Salmon [Cosmoglow], Longnose Gar [Quicksilver], Mackerel [Jade], Arowana [Iridescence], Carp [Shimmergold], Sea Bass [Crimson].

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

We have scheduled the Version 1.6.2 server maintenance and update for June 4 at 4:00 PM(PT). The maintenance is expected to last about 2 hours, but the actual duration may differ. Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience. This update brings Early Access for custom servers, testing for an enhanced version of The Way of Winter, the Visional Wheel S1 limited-time event Stargate Rush, a new item recovery feature, and several optimizations and bug fixes. Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Custom Servers - Early Access

Early Access for custom servers in Once Human has arrived! Custom servers are player-managed rental servers. Players can rent a server and customize its gameplay settings to create unique experiences. After the host opens the server, other players can join. This model is widely used in popular games and offers greater autonomy and variety to our players.

During Early Access, cosmetic items purchased from the Shop cannot be shared with custom servers. When custom servers officially launch on June 18 (PT), paid cosmetics will be shared across both official and custom servers.

Early Access Period: June 4 – June 17(PT) (Official launch scheduled for after the update on June 19)

This early access trial will adopt a limited sale + invitation-only model:

1. Each region will have a limited number of available server rentals. The details will be shown on the rental page.
2. Outstanding community members and players who previously participated in custom server tests will be invited to participate in this Early Access for free.
3. Players who make purchases during the event will receive equivalent Crystgin rebates.

In most games, players must rent and configure custom servers on their own, which can be complicated. To simplify this process and mitigate risks associated with third-party hosting—such as security vulnerabilities, unstable performance, lack of maintenance, and cumbersome configuration—we provide official server rentals and offer reliable support at every step.

Renting a server for personal use is often more expensive than using official servers. This is because Once Human an online game that requires servers to handle complex processing tasks, open-world simulation, and data storage. However, personal servers typically host fewer players, resulting in higher costs on average. After internal discussions, we've decided to offer custom server rentals at cost price with no markup, ensuring players can access professional-grade service at a reasonable cost.

To rent a server: https://pay.neteasegames.com/oncehuman/topup

The in-game access point for renting a custom server may vary depending on the game version or platform partner.

The Way of Winter - Update Test

We're launching The Way of Winter scenario servers with the Update Testing tag, featuring an enhanced version of The Way of Winter with deeper survival mechanics and improved strategic depth. Details on the update are below.

The Way of Winter scenario with the Update Testing tag is not a new scenario, but an upgraded version of the existing The Way of Winter. During the initial testing period, both versions of The Way of Winter will co-exist. However, all subsequent The Way of Winter servers will exclusively feature the Update Testing tag.

1. Updated Thermal Tower Mechanics: Thermal Towers are now large structures that can be built within your territory. You can share their effects with other players via their permission settings. They no longer take up large amounts of space in the wilderness.
2. Updated Extreme Weather Mechanics: Extreme weather will now spread gradually across the wilderness as the scenario progresses. In each phase, new extreme weather effects will appear—not just temperature changes, but special regional effects that bring different survival challenges. If players don't deal with the extreme weather in time, the temperature impact will spread to nearby areas.
3. New Public Structure - Chaosium Hubs: You can use a special item called the Chaosium Heart at Chaosium Hubs to reduce the level of extreme weather in an area. You can also summon the Chaosweaver and defeat it to dispel the temperature effects. Doing so will completely remove the extreme weather for that phase. Also, you can spend Raw Chaosium at Chaosium Hubs to gain special regional buffs to help you survive harsh environments.
4. Updated Scenario Endings: The scenario ending is now tied to the number of times players clear the extreme weather. Work together to overcome the harsh conditions and secure a brighter future for the snowy realm!
5. Other Optimizations: Improved the temperature-related prompts and transitions between regions, making it easier for players to understand and respond to temperature changes.

NOTE: This update test for The Way of Winter does not include expanded PvE content. All tasks, dungeons, Public Crisis Events, and other gameplay elements are also unchanged. Only the survival mechanics and strategic depth have been optimized. Please try the updated scenario and let us know your thoughts via social media or the Co-Dev Feedback Platform!

New Item Loss Prevention and Recovery Features

1. Many players have reported losing items during scenario transitions. We've found that this is primarily due to the Spacetime Backpack becoming full during scenario settlement, causing excess items to be lost. To address this issue, we are optimizing the scenario settlement process so that items will no longer be sent to your Spacetime Backpack or Temporary Backpack upon leaving a scenario. Instead, they will stored in the Transit Storage, which has ample capacity to hold all your items from the scenario. You can then manually transfer items to your Spacetime Backpack as needed.
2. If you lost items before this fix, please contact the in-game Customer Support. Due to the high volume of data, be sure to include detailed information about the lost items to help our team locate and restore them.
3. We've also introduced a new item recovery feature, allowing you to retrieve personal items (such as collectibles) left in other players' territories. This feature is only available in PvE scenarios.

Once Human Development Team

Dear Metas,

The server maintenance and update is planned for March 11, 2026, at 4:00 (PT) and expected to last about 2 hours (actual time may differ). Please plan your game time accordingly for the best experience. The update size is approximately 10.1 GB on PC launchers, 64 MB on the PC client (NOTE: If the update is delayed on Steam, it may be downloaded more than once), 241 MB on Android, and 251 MB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.

This update includes a preview of upcoming adjustments to how Starchrom/blueprints are obtained, new Custom Server features, the limited-time Lightforge Loot Crate "Ravenous Gear," mod drop improvements, and a range of other optimizations and recent bug fixes.

After this maintenance ends, you will receive Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Starwish Token ×300, and Colorful Badge ×30, plus 3 Mod Compensation Crates (open to randomly obtain one Level 14-17 mod).

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Preview: Changes to Starchrom and Blueprint Acquisition

Dear Metas, Starchrom and blueprints have always been at the heart of Once Human, but the current system still has several problems. Blueprint acquisition is too restrictive, the progression paths are too complicated, and the Wish Machine draw system is hard to understand. Because of that, we plan to adjust how Starchrom and blueprints are acquired after the March 25 update (PT), so you can obtain and develop gear more easily and more freely, and spend more time enjoying exploration and combat.

Here is a preview of the main changes:

1️⃣ Blueprint system overhaul: Use Starchrom to activate and upgrade directly (takes effect after the March 25 update, PT)

1. Simpler blueprint unlocks and upgrades
   1. Blueprints will now be activated directly from the Blueprint screen using Starchrom. You will no longer need to draw and combine blueprint fragments. Both weapon and armor blueprints can be unlocked directly with Starchrom, with costs varying by type. Blueprint upgrades will also be handled directly on the Blueprint screen using Starchrom. The expected Starchrom cost to unlock and upgrade blueprints will remain the same. This change is mainly meant to make the rules simpler and the process clearer.
   2. You will still be able to use the Blueprint Conversion feature to transfer star levels between blueprints of the same rarity.
2. Wilderness reward updates
   1. In the wilderness, exploration points, crates, and other sources that previously awarded blueprint fragments will now award Starchrom directly. This includes mysterious settlement treasures, first-clear dungeon rewards, tasks, and other gameplay sources. All blueprint fragment rewards will be replaced with an equivalent amount of Starchrom.
3. Blueprint Shop will close
   1. With blueprint acquisition being fully streamlined, the Blueprint Shop will be removed. If you plan to use it, please spend your Starchrom accordingly before the update.
4. Stellar Stairway system changes
   1. Stellar Stairway and Asterism will be removed. Sources that previously awarded Asterism and Asterism Crates will now award Starchrom and Starchrom Crates directly. The monthly Starchrom acquisition rules will remain unchanged. You will be able to check the Starchrom cap for the current cycle on the Blueprint screen.
   2. Starchrom earned from events, the Battle Pass, Collection Level, and similar sources will not count toward the monthly Starchrom cap.
5. Conversion of existing materials
   1. Once these blueprint-related changes go live, affected items in your backpack will be automatically converted at equivalent value. Details are as follows:
      1. Blueprint Fragments: Converted into different amounts of Starchrom based on rarity and slot. Formula: Starchrom = Fragment Exp × 1.85
      2. Asterism: After the Stellar Stairway adjustment, the current month's Asterism acquisition rate will be directly converted into the current month's Starchrom acquisition rate. Any unclaimed Stellar Stairway Starchrom Crates will also be converted directly into Starchrom.
      3. Wish Stones will be converted into Mitsuko's Marks.

2️⃣ Wish Machine rework: The Wish Machine is one of Once Human's signature features, and as developers, we also love how it looks and feels. But using it to draw blueprints is clearly too complicated, especially for newer players. So we plan to rework the Wish Machine while keeping the mini-game interaction and the fun of random rewards, and shift its focus to activity rewards instead. This rework is expected to go live after the April 22 update (PT).

1. Wish Machine draws will be temporarily disabled after the March 25 update (PT)
   1. After the March 25 update (PT), the Wish Machine will be temporarily disabled, and it will no longer provide blueprint fragments. It will also no longer be unlocked through Memetic Points. Metas who have already obtained the Wish Machine formula can still build it.
2. New activity rewards will be added to the Wish Machine on April 22 (PT)
   1. After the April 22 update (PT), the Wish Machine will offer a new set of activity rewards that do not consume Starchrom. By taking part in daily gameplay and completing activity tasks, you can earn draw chances and get useful supplies and cosmetic rewards. The Wish Machine formula will also be unlocked by default, making it easier to build whenever you need it.

If you have any questions, please send us feedback through the feedback platform (https://www.oncehuman.game/grfkpt/). We look forward to hearing your suggestions.

Securement Pod Interaction Upgrade

To make managing secured Deviations more flexible, we have added a Split and Withdraw button to the Securement Pod.

New Territory Asset Category

A new territory asset category has been added to the Appearance Gallery.

Building support increased in RaidZone Mode

To make building in RaidZone easier to understand, we have increased structure support so it is easier to build multi-level territories, and removed the old system where pillars provided support. Foundation support has been increased from 3 to 7, allowing buildings up to 7 floors tall. We have also removed pillar support inheritance to prevent unlimited height.

New Custom Server Features

1. Mobile now supports settings for Memetic Restriction and RaidZone Echoite bonus drops.
2. Server hosts can now set the Deviation level and attributes found in RaidZone weapon crates and storage crates.
3. When "building costs no materials" is enabled, collectible furniture will not follow that rule. Its cost will still depend on how many you own.

Deviation “Invincible Sun” Mechanic and Value Adjustments

We’ve noticed that in the open world multiplayer environment, the fire zone created by the Deviation “Invincible Sun” can intermittently cause server lag due to its high-frequency stacking mechanic, impacting combat smoothness for all Metas.

To resolve performance issues while ensuring this Deviation’s core combat value—“quickly applying max stacks of Burn”—remains intact, we’ve made the following adjustments to its detection logic and values:

1. Spawn logic optimization: Meteors can now be used normally in tight spaces, improving adaptability across different terrains.
2. Value balance adjustments:
   1. Burst DMG Boost: The direct-hit DMG Multiplier for meteors has been increased from 900% to 1100%.
   2. Fire zone duration: Reduced from 10 seconds to 8 seconds.

   4. Meteor count: The maximum number of periodically spawned meteors has been adjusted from 5 to 4.
   5. Fire zone damage: The single-tick DMG Multiplier of the fire zone has been significantly increased from 400% to 800%.

1. Now, once your character reaches Level 50 or completes the Market Bounties tutorial task, you can summon V to quickly open the entrance and join more easily.

Experience Optimizations

First Person Mode

1. Optimized the transition performance between actions such as rolling, reloading, held-item switching, and firing.

2. Optimized the bolt-pulling action performance of weapons, and fine-tuned the reload sound effects for certain weapons, further enhancing the mechanical feel of firearms and the immersion of shooting.

3. Optimized muzzle fire VFX and bullet trajectory VFX, and significantly reduced view obstruction from strong light and smoke when aiming down sights (ADS), helping Metas lock onto targets more precisely in complex firefights.

4. Adjusted the placement of some interaction buttons and optimized the on-screen control prompts, reducing visual interference with exploration.

Tech

1. Enhanced the status display for unlocked and locked techs on the Tech interface, making it easier to distinguish the status of each tech.

2. Optimized the display of the Reverse Engineering settlement interface. Multiple reverse engineering results are now merged into a single display instead of repeatedly triggering animation alerts.

3. Added an overview of upgradeable techs. You can now check all techs that can be upgraded via the Advanced Tech button on the Tech interface.

Fishing

In the July 22 version update (PT), we adjusted bait usage strategies based on considerations of the overall fishing ecosystem and the pace of obtaining some special fish. Since the previous announcement did not adequately explain this, some Metas continued fishing with the original strategy after the update and raised questions about actual output efficiency. We sincerely apologize for the confusion this has caused, and would like to provide additional clarification here.
After the adjustment, when Metas fish with the Crankbait, there will be a 15%–35% probability of obtaining special fish such as Electric Eels. The exact probability will vary depending on the water area.

Scenario Honor Rating Adjustment

We observed that Metas were finding it difficult to obtain scenario ratings from Prismverse's Clash, so we've adjusted the rating rules: when you obtain 50 or more Prism Energy, every 10 Prism Energy earned will increase your rating metric by 1.

Wilderness

1. Non-RaidZone areas: Slightly increased the drop count of Detoxident in the wilderness.

2. Optimized the teleportation behavior of Worldstones. A teleport animation will now trigger when you are near a Worldstone or when teleporting to one.

3. Optimized the teleport restrictions in the Mirror Pollution Zone. Teleportation is now only disabled when load exceeds a certain value.

Territory Construction

The Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario now supports equipping skins on Deviations placed in territory securement units.

Shop

1. The Old Currency Shop is now live for the Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve scenario. You can visit the Verdant Arena to redeem rewards.

2. The cap for obtaining batteries by selling items to NPC shops in the Manibus, The Way of Winter, and Endless Dream scenarios is accumulated and shared across camps. Unlock the Worldstone of the camp corresponding to the NPC to accumulate.

Vehicle

When summoning a vehicle, flight mode is now supported, allowing you to adjust the summoning position and parking orientation of the vehicle more flexibly and precisely.

Photo

Optimized the display of cloud albums. Cloud albums now support cross-character sharing.

Item

1. Optimized ”How to Get“ descriptions for certain items.

2. For non-RaidZone only: You can now equip or stow the swim ring by toggling the item use switch.

Others

1. Optimized the display of the World interface, making it more convenient to view more worlds.

2. Optimized the display of the weapon skin interface in the cosmetics and field guide interfaces.

3. Optimized the notifications for survival stats: Energy, Hydration, Sanity, and Stamina will now be more noticeable when at low values.

Bug Fixes

Cosmetics

Fixed an issue where the Twilight Feast Night Furniture Pack was incorrectly displayed as unlocked in the field guide.

Appearance Preset

Fixed an issue where Chrysalis Tokens were consumed abnormally when saving appearance presets in certain cases.

First Person Mode

Fixed an issue where shadows of character models, held weapons, and cradles would not correctly display or hide in accordance with the hide option in Settings. Shadow visibility will now strictly follow the Metas' custom settings.

Combat

1. Fixed an issue where using the "M416 - Silent Anabasis" to shatter the first ice crystal would not trigger the extra bonus of Frost Elemental DMG.

2. Fixed an issue where firing ice spikes with the "SKS - Pathfinder" would not trigger the stacking effect of the Helmet Mod "Precise Strike".

3. Fixed an issue where the description of the weapon "Recurve Crossbow" did not match its effect.

4. Fixed an issue where the duration of the Helmet Mod "Quick Toss" did not match its description.

Content/Feature Updates

The Second Anniversary Celebration "Dreamy Maelstrom" Grand Opening

The dream begins, two years together. In the blink of an eye, Once Human has accompanied all Metas through its second year. Thank you for your support, feedback, and companionship along the way, and thank you to every one of you still adventuring in the world of Nalcott.

On this second anniversary, the commemorative celebration "Dreamy Maelstrom" is about to begin! We have prepared a wealth of content including a new gameplay, limited-time Deviations, anniversary check-in, surprise draws, returner and newcomer gifts, and more. May this dream bring all Metas a journey that is lively, bountiful, and truly unforgettable.

Event Duration: Starts after the July 9 (PT) update and continues until July 30 server time.

I. Dreamy Rift

The Rift Space tears through the sky, monstrous tides surge forth—a brand new anniversary special gameplay begins! Metas can select enhancement abilities with each wave to gain overclock power and face hordes of enemies. Clearing waves rewards Armor Mod Crates, Anniversary Draw Tickets, Starchrom, Mod Dust, and more. Reach the top of the cross-server leaderboard for exclusive honors to contest!

Three Deviations arrive with the dream—the anniversary limited "Crimson Insight: ZapCam", the RaidZone expert "Mr. Wish - Penguin Hope", and the new rideable member "Behemoth".

[Anniversary Limited] Crimson Insight: ZapCam

The limited-time Morphed ZapCam for the 2nd anniversary is here! The familiar little guy dons a brand new crimson cosmetic, with its reliable strength intact and an even more dazzling appearance. During the anniversary, Metas can bring it home through events like the Dreamy Rift and Rift Eggs.

[RaidZone Expert] Mr. Wish - Penguin Hope

A mysterious visitor from the Mr. Wish family has also come to join the anniversary! Originally a little penguin adopted by Once Human in the real world dimension, it is a "demolition expert" from the polar regions. Due to the appearance of the Rift Space, Penguin Hope unexpectedly crossed dimensions and arrived in Nalcott, morphing into a peculiar form and gaining unique abilities! Metas can secure it through anniversary events and the RaidZone mode, embarking on a new journey together!

[New Member] Behemoth

"Beneath a body built of cardboard and crayons beats the heart of a battle beast that never retreats."

The brand-new rideable Combat Deviation "Behemoth" is about to make a dazzling debut in this anniversary! As a battle vanguard, Behemoth can fight autonomously, and Metas can also ride it directly, actively unleashing a breath skill to turn all enemies before it into ashes! Metas can obtain it through anniversary events and wilderness gameplay.

First Person Mode is Now Live

Applies to: Once Human, RaidZone

Ready to see the perilous lands of Nalcott from a whole new perspective? In this update, we're officially launching the highly anticipated First Person Mode! Metas will see through their own eyes, grip their firearms, wield melee weapons, explore for supplies, and use items, experiencing the immersive sense of presence and ultimate immersion that leaps off the screen.

In First Person Mode, the following core actions are now supported with an always-on first-person camera:

1. Basic movement, jumping, and climbing;
2. Weapon operation and use, Melee Attacks, and various throws;
3. Use of items such as Medicine and Food;
4. Resource gathering and collecting supplies in the wilderness with bare hands, Pickaxe, or Electric Chainsaw/Electric Drill.

Melee attack

To ensure a thrilling combat experience even with the restricted first-person perspective, we have completely redesigned the first-person operation and slashing actions for all usable melee weapons:

1. Mobile Combat: All melee weapons support slashing while moving, allowing for more flexible positioning!
2. New actions: Based on various weapon traits, brand new first-person attack animations have been crafted.
3. Light and Heavy Attack Adjustments: Light attacks retain the original experience of consecutive multi-hit combos; Heavy strikes are now adjusted to charge by holding the button and releasing to unleash the attack, with the impact feeling fully upgraded!

*Note: If you prefer the original third-person melee experience, all operations remain unchanged in third person mode, so rest assured.

Dear Metas,

The server maintenance and update is planned for May 27, 2026, at 4:00 PM (PT) and expected to last about 2 hours (actual time may differ). Please manage your time wisely. The update size is approximately 21.75 GB on PC launchers, 184 MB on the PC client (NOTE: If the update is delayed on Steam, it may be downloaded more than once), 2.7 GB on Android, and 3.4 GB on iOS (actual size may differ). We recommend downloading the update over Wi-Fi.

This update introduces Visional Wheel S4: Gravity Abyss, the new Shop feature: Wishlist, combat balance adjustments, and several recent bug fixes.

After this maintenance, all players will receive the following rewards: Starchrom ×1,000, Mitsuko's Mark ×100, Stardust Secret Crate: S12 (Epic) ×1, Colorful Badge ×30, and Blueprint Conversion Attempt ×3.

Below are the details of this update:

Content/Feature Updates

Visional Wheel S4: Gravity Abyss Arrives

The shadow of Aberrant Progeny is fading, yet the skies of Nalcott have never truly known peace. The laws of gravity are being quietly torn asunder, and a behemoth from the abyss has set its gaze upon this land. The Visional Wheel turns once more. Are you prepared to seek your own answers in the weightless sky? The all-new Visional Wheel S4, "Gravity Abyss," is about to begin.

In the sky, a massive rift is slowly tearing open: an omen of the Riftwalker‘s descent. This behemoth soaring through the skies warps the surrounding gravitational field, twisting the physical laws of the world below. Regions of gravitational imbalance, like breaths from the abyss, drag everything toward the sky. Metas call this phenomenon the "Gravity Abyss"—a place without falling, only endless ascent, and the unknown dangers waiting at its peak. In this Vision, Metas will clash fiercely over the Riftwalker.

Expected Duration: Starts after the May 27 maintenance update (PT). The end time will be announced later.

Available Scenarios: Manibus (excluding novice), Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash, The Way of Winter, Endless Dream, Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve

After the update, servers with Visional tags will automatically switch to S4 [Gravity Abyss], concluding the [Aberrant Progeny] vision. Related special items will no longer be produced.

S4 Gravity Abyss New Gameplay

Gravity Imbalance

When the Vision begins, the inverted star emerge once more, and the Gravity Imbalance effect will envelop certain Stronghold regions. Metas can check the these locations through map pins. Explore the corresponding regions for a chance to obtain Mods, Gravity Crystals, and other rewards.

Riftwalker Relic

After the Vision begins, the Riftwalker will soar over the wilderness, scattering mysterious artifacts from the sky: Echoite Broken Relics and Riftwalker Relics. Their drop locations will be marked on the map, where Metas can head to contest them.

Riftwalker Relic offers substantial rewards but also presents greater challenges. Whenever a Meta approaches a Riftwalker Relic, elite enemies will be summoned, and the relic will begin to slowly ascend. Only by defeating the enemies will the relic's ascent stop. They contain generous rewards such as Mods, Morphed Deviations, and Abyssal Cores.

Aerial Hunt

Fifteen minutes after the Vision begins, the Riftwalker will traverse Nalcott, simultaneously appearing above three random Settlements on the map. The failed airship platform that once attempted to secure the Riftwalker will manifest above these Settlements. Metas can enter the platform for combat via the summoned portal, or directly teleport there by clicking the pins on the map.

The Riftwalker possesses multiple combat forms, requiring close coordination from Metas to defeat it. Metas who successfully overcome the Riftwalker's trial will receive even rarer rewards.

Gravity Integrator Mode

Metas can obtain the [Gravity Integrator Formula] through this game mode, unlocking the tense and exciting Gravity Integrator challenge. The higher the Gravity Integrator ascends, the richer the rewards become.

Floating Building

Metas can obtain the [Anti-Gravity Foundation Formula] in the wilderness. After learning the Formula, they can initiate Floating Building, and its construction consumes Gravity Crystals.

Weightless Item

Metas can obtain the [Energy Raiser Formula] through wilderness exploration. After crafting it at the Supplies Workbench, it can be used in non-weightless regions to grant Weightless ability. The Energy Raiser only functions during the Vision's active period.

Game Mode Rewards

Abyssal Core

The Abyssal Core is a rare crystallization of the Riftwalker, with a chance to obtain it in the Riftwalker Relic and Aerial Hunt Game Modes. Abyssal Cores are categorized into three rarity tiers: Epic, Legendary, and Mythic. Higher rarity yields rarer rewards upon opening, which may include Shiny Mods, Abyssal Essence, high-Level Morphed Deviations, and other rare rewards.

Metas can also choose to consume varying amounts of Gravity Crystals to perform different levels of resonance. A deeper of level resonance has a chance of granting double rewards! Abyssal Cores can also be freely traded among players. Whether you opt for steady gain or take a bold gamble is entirely your choice.

Abyssal Essence

Abyssal Essence is an exclusive item that has a chance to drop from opening Abyssal Cores. After collecting Abyssal Essence, you can visit the Event - Visional Redemption - Redeem Shop to redeem precious rewards such as Lightforge Ingots, selected Shop Fashion/Furniture/Weapon Skins, Shiny Mods, top-tier Deviations, and more!

Morphed Deviation

In S4 [Gravity Abyss], all Morphed Deviations and Mods from the Visional Wheel S1 will return. Additionally, we will introduce brand new Morphed Deviations, offering Metas a richer collection and customization experience.

This time, three brand new Morphed Deviations will be added: The Digby Boy - Gravity Abyss, Atomic Lighter - Gravity Abyss, and Zapamander - Gravity Abyss.

The Starfall Inversion Deviations from S1 will also return together, and Metas can obtain them through various modes.

New Mods

S4 will introduce the new "Aero" Suffix Mod, while the Downstar Mod will return as well. The Downstar Mod provides a strong advantage when fighting across elevation differences, whereas the Aero Mod can be activated in any aerial state (including jumping), offering superior flexibility and stability. When acquired, these Mods let Metas select the one that suits their needs.

In this Vision event, we will also release Armor Shiny Mods for the first time, which Metas can obtain through the Abyssal Core.

New Event

Click the "Event Interface - Visional Wheel" page to participate in the current vision campaign. The following content will be available:

Gravity Abyss: Metas can learn about the basic rules for this Vision through this event.

Abyssal Collection: By collecting Gravity Crystals to earn Progress, you can obtain rare rewards such as Territory Collectibles.

Vision Collection: Collect all Visional Suffix Mods and Morphed Deviations to obtain rewards like Weapon Skins.

As the Visional Wheel spins once more, new aerial challenges, exploration objectives, and growth rewards will gradually unfold. We look forward to all Metas embracing new battles in the weightless skies, and welcome everyone to continue sharing your experiences with us through the Community and Feedback Platform (https://www.oncehuman.game/grfkpt/). Thank you for your ongoing support. Let's meet again in the "Gravity Abyss."

Server Opening Schedule

To allow you to choose whether or not to participate in the Visional Wheel without changing servers, after this update, new servers will include both a Normal World and a Visional World. Visional events will only happen in the Visional World and will NOT affect the Normal World. You can switch between the Normal World and Visional World based on your preference.

Meta Pass Monthly Try-On Update

Meta Pass try-on benefits have been fully improved. Starting June 1, server time, the Monthly Limited-Time Trial cosmetics will rotate, helping you stay at the forefront of Nalcott fashion!

Combat Balance Adjustments

We remain committed to maintaining dynamic combat balance, preserving freshness and strategic depth to deliver an evolving battle experience. This update includes the following adjustments:

1. We have identified the following issues with the recent weapons and gear:
   1. AUG - Electron Cloud lacks flexibility when repeatedly generating magnetic fields, making target switching less efficient.
   2. For Compound Bow - The Burden of Betrayal, Echo DMG is a core part of its damage output, so Crit Rate has a major impact on its consistency.
   3. Compound Bow - The Burden of Betrayal deals too much burst damage against Metas.
   4. Glide Pants consume too much Stamina, while their buff duration is too short.
      1. Based on these issues, this update will adjust and improve the effects of AUG - Electron Cloud, Compound Bow - The Burden of Betrayal, and Glide Pants.
2. Optimized the effects of P90 - Holographic Resonance and R500 - Memento.

For more information, see the https://www.oncehuman.game/news/devBlog/20260521/40781_1301130.html

To ensure a smooth transition, we will issue 3 Blueprint Conversion Attempts to all players after this update.

Chalk Peak West Terrain Adjustment and Territory Relocation Notice

To prepare for the development and expansion of the Western Isles region, we plan to adjust and optimize the border area west of Chalk Peak in the June 10 update (PT).

To protect the territories Metas have worked hard to build, and to prevent issues such as territories floating or sinking underground after the terrain changes, all territories in this area will be packed up after the June 10 update (PT). Once your territory is packed up, you will need to relocate it manually. Please plan ahead and move your territory to a safe zone.

Please see the red area in the image below for the affected area:

Nalcott continues to expand, and new survival challenges are on the horizon. Thank you for your understanding and support. We look forward to fighting alongside you again in unknown waters.
