Rubber is one of those simple yetvaluable resourcesyou’ll find yourself constantly needing inOnce Human. It is a versatile material that is needed to craft all kinds of items, from basic Tier I items to more advanced Tier V equipment. Rubber is also such an important item that you can use to repair your equipment.
As you progress throughOnce Humanand reach the later stages, the demand for rubber skyrockets. To help you out, this guide covers the best ways to efficiently farm Rubber in the game.
How To Get Rubber
Unfortunately, unlike many other materials inOnce Human, rubber cannot be directly looted from the environment.The only way to get Rubber is by breaking down scrap items at theDisassembly Bench.
Thankfully, you can begin your rubber hunt fromDayton Wetlands, thestarting area inOnce Human. This area is packed with towns, factories, and abandoned settlements, all of which contain chests and crates you can loot. Some of the best spots to farm Rubber areDayton Hospital, Brookham Guardhouse, and Overlook Town.
Besides this, you can explore areas inIron River,especially around theEast Blackfell JunctionandSecurement Silo: Phizones to find crates and chests that drop random scraps. Loot everything you can find and pick up as many items as possible to maximize your Rubber yield.
Examples of scrap items that yield Rubber when disassembled include
Loot crates and storage chests respawn every four hours, meaning you can repeatedly farm the same areas for fresh supplies.
How To Use Rubber
Rubber is a versatile material that is used to craft pretty much everything inOnce Human. It is a core component ofcrafting armor piecesof various tiers, from basic to advanced. Additionally, you need tons of rubber torepair your weapons and equipment.
Rubber is also used tocraft motorcycle parts, likeMetal Frames, tires, engines, and oil tanks. On average, you’ll need about 45 to 90 Rubber to craft Tier I to Tier V motorcycles.
Another interesting use of Rubber is to craft theActivator, a consumable that cures your meta-human and restores +50% HP. You will also need 15 Rubber to build theIntermediate Supplies Workbench, and 10 Rubber for theAdvanced Supplies Workbench, both of which let you craft more items and consumables than the basic one.
