A decent PvE build in Once Human needs to be a jack of all trades, ready to take down grunts and bosses with equal ease. A lot of these builds are going to take quite some time to get together. However, with some time and a very well-put-together guide, picking up the pieces won’t take any time at all.
Once Human Burn build

Best PvP Once Human Builds
Shrapnel
Nothing breaks up your gunplay in PvP more than having to reload. With this Shrapnel build in Once Human, you should rarely have to reload while maintaining high damage and pinpoint accuracy. Again, this is a build that is a perfect hybrid whether you’re running boss dungeons or facing off against PvP opponents.

| Bottoms | Lonewolf | Deadshot |
| Deviant | Lonewolf’s Whisper |
Unstable Bomber
The reason this Jaws Unstable Bomber build works so well in PvP Once Human gameplay is the accuracy and huge single-bullet damage. With the tight aiming of a pistol and some devastating shots, enemies will be destroyed in only a few well-placed shots. The Unstable Bomber build makes every other show explosive, turning heads into pink mist.
| Gear | Name | Mod |

Doom Bringer Once Human build
For huge crit and weak spot damage in Once Human PvP, you can’t get much better than this Doombringer build. With its lightning-fast reload and ability to use either sniper or pistol as a secondary, it covers a lot of bases. This is a run-and-gun style build for dealing a lot of damage very fast.
| Gear | Name | Mod |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Weapon | DBSG – Doombringer | Vulnerability Amplifier |
| Secondary Weapon | AWS.338 – Bullseye or Desert Eagle | Munitions Amplifier |

Whatever build you end up using, you need to make sure it works for you. The great thing about Once Human is all the builds can be just as good as the last with the right practice. There is something for everyone.
For me, the Untoppable Bomber build is perfect, along with the Frost Vortex build for PvE. I like to deal large amounts of damage in short bursts when playing against other players, but I need something that will feed me health when fighting bosses.
The best thing to do is spend some time giving each one of these a try. Then, once you figure out which one is for you, you can focus on that for the new seasons. As the game goes on and the seasonal wipes happen, knowing which build works for you will streamline the process of putting together your ultimate player.
