Quick Links
It’s no surprise that progressing throughOnce Humanis quite the grind, as the game features tons of resources and gear that players need to acquire to improve their chances of survival. Leveling up is one of the core ways players progress through the game, and the main incentive for leveling up is toacquire Meme Pointsto gain better Memetics through the Cradle. However, the game’s progression system is deeper than that, as players may have noticed that certain areas on the map recommend reaching a certain level before exploring them.
Leveling up inOnce Humanis a surefire way to become better equipped for battling tougher enemies and traversing dangerous high-level areas. While most players may gravitate to improving their character’s level, they can also level up their Battle Pass alongside their character, granting them opportunities to acquire cosmetics and essentialresources like Stardust SourceandStarchrom. From completing commissions to beating tough enemies, here are some ofthe best ways to level up fast inOnce Human!
Completing Commissions
Weekly Commissionsare, without a doubt, one of the simplest and easiest ways to acquire a regular supply of EXP for the player’s character inOnce Human. Players can access the Commission Board menu by following these steps:
From here, players can select up to five of the eight commissions per Commission Board, each granting a hefty sum of EXP upon completion, along with other rewards such as Controllers andEnergy Links. Most commissions are relatively simple to complete and can often be finished in a couple of gameplay sessions with minimal effort. Additionally, once players complete five of the eight available commissions on a single Commission Board, they receive an additional EXP reward.
Previous weekly Commission Boards will also remain available for playersto complete throughout a single season, allowing new and casual players to progress through multiple Commission Boards fairly quickly. Players also have the option toswap out a commission by refreshing it, with six free refreshes being available for each Commission Board. This gives players ample opportunities to gather plenty of EXP in no time, especially if they are selecting five of the easiest commissions available.
Progressing Through The Journey
Many players may already be aware thatprogressing through the Journeycan yield asteady supply of Starchrom, but it just so happens that the various Journey tasks also offer a bountiful amount of EXP and Battle Pass EXP. The Journey features several individual Journeys that players can work through, each comprised of several tasks thatyield an EXP reward upon completion.
Additionally, playersreceive an extra sum of EXP upon completing every task in a Journey. Much like the commissions, the Journey tasks are relatively straightforward but do not have to be activated before completion — meaning it is entirely possible many players may find they have completed some without even realizing it. To open up the Journey menu and claim its rewards, simply press the J Key.
Completing Side Tasks
The next major method for obtaining EXP and Battlepass EXP fast is bycompleting side tasks. Side tasks are essentially side quests that players can find throughoutOnce Human’sopen world, and while they are entirely optional to complete, working through them can be a surefire way to level up quickly.
Each side task inOnce Humancan only be completed once, but with the sheer abundance of side tasks out there and the fact that most can be completed in a matter of minutes, there really is no reason not to take them on. Aside from EXP, side tasks also yield other lucrative rewards, like Energy Links, Stellar Planula, and Eclipse Cortex.
For players unsure of what side tasks they should start with, some early game options they can consider include"Boy Just Wanna Have Fun"and"A Gift Overdue."
Defeating Rift Entities
For players looking to take on powerful bosses,battlingOnce Human’sRift Entitiescan be a surefire way to climb up the ranks and acquire lots of EXP. Rift Entities areusually taken on by heading to Monoliths, which can be opened up once players activate a certain number ofRift Anchors in each region. However, Rift Entities can also be taken on by participating in a Prime War event, which will be marked on the map.
Though both activities reward their own levels of EXP, Monolith Entities are much more solo-friendly, whereas Prime Wars are heavily reliant on getting other players of the server involved. Just be sure to havethe best weapons availableon hand before heading to either one. Aside from EXP, defeating Rift Entities can also yield additional rewards, such as Weapon Mod Parts, Stardust Source, and much more.
Defeating Enemies
Another simple yet effective way to garner lots of EXP is to simplydefeat enemies within the world. All enemies inOnce Humanaward players with EXP when defeated, and this EXP award can be maximized by defeating higher-level enemies in high-level regions — especially if the enemy happens to be an Elite-type.
The most straightforward way players can farm a lot of enemy eliminations is by heading to areas like Chalk Peak and Red Sands, as enemies from the 35-level range and above offer a decent amount of EXP.Clearing Securement Silosis also a good strategy for garnering lots of enemy eliminations, as the enemies within a silo respawn much faster. For players who haven’t reached either region yet,Securement Silos available in the lower-level regionscan still be a great means to garner EXP early on, though they do not yield as high of an EXP reward.
