Summary
Once Humanis a free-to-playhorror survivalgame, that adds in other gameplay styles, including competitive PvP, and a story-based mission progression. The game operates across a season with 6 phases, each phase unlocking new gameplay elements and options.
Armor inOnce Humanis a little different. Most armor parts form sets, and each set gives different bonuses that suit different gameplay styles. This means that there is no actual “best” armor in the game. But there are armor sets that are best for different game stages, or for different uses. These range from new player armor that will help players through the early game, to end-game legendary sets that will require weeks or months to acquire in thissurvival shooter.
Good Early Game Armor
All players have access to the Raid Armor set from the very start, all they need to do is unlock it via a Memetic. This is a significant upgrade over the new player armor that everyone has access to for free.
The crafting requirements are quite low, and thecrafting systeminOnce Humanis quite simple. However, it is not worth calibrating this armor at all, as the player will likely replace it within the first day of gameplay inOnce Human. It works well for the new player zones, but cannot cut the mustard later in the game.
Early Game Combat Armor
When a new player inOnce Humanmoves out onto the mainopen-world mapafter completing the new player experience, they will start getting blueprint loot from crates. It is highly likely that the player will loot enough blueprints for Agent Armor that they can make 4 pieces to enable all of the set bonuses.
This is great armor for the first few boss fights, as its baked-in bonuses are all aimed (excuse the pun) at hitting the weak spots on an enemy to increase overall DPS. Most players will use Agent Armor at some stage of the game.
Mid-Game Combat Armor
At around level 40, players will need to upgrade their armor to take on the harder POIs in Chalk Peak and beyond. Luckily, the developers have seeded the blueprints for the Heavy Duty Armor set in this area.
The Heavy Duty Armor, once it has been calibrated to around level 4, will see the player all the way to the end game. It is especially good for people that are running an elemental build, and will last them until they have managed to put together enough legendary blueprints for a full set.
Agility Armor
Players that prefer to stay mobile in combat might like to take a look at the Falcon Armor set. This is an armor set inOnce Humanthat is aimed squarely at players that keep mobile, and use the dodge roll skill a lot.
Falcon Armor is also commonly used inPvP combat. This armor set is also very flexible, as it is not aimed at any particular weapon build, and works well with all weapon types. Overall, a good upgrade over the early-game armor, suitable for people that move around a lot in combat.
Defensive Armor
This is a legendary armor set, and therefore, is not simple to acquire. It will likely take several seasons for a player to unlock enough blueprints to craft a full set of Bastille Armor. That being said, long-term goals are a good thing in any game.
Bastille Armor is well-suited to players that tend to stay fairly immobile in combat, crouching behind cover and popping up to fire off a volley whilst enemies are reloading or out of position. When the player does expose themselves from crouch, they have increased defenses.
Sniper Armor
Almost every PvE combat game has asniper classor build, andOnce Humanis no exception. Renegade Armor is the armor set that is best suited for people that prefer to engage in long-range combat using a bow, crossbow, or sniper rifle.
The bonuses suit players that place their shots precisely, triggering the DPS increase through better reload speed and increased damage per shot. However, as a legendary armor set, it will take quite some time and more than a little luck to put a whole set together.
