Survive together, wield the power of the aberrants - Once Human

Dear Metas,

As the Visional Wheel turns, a new crisis looms. After the January 21(PT) update, we'll introduce brand-new combat weapons, gear, and mods. We hope every Meta in Once Human will find both challenge and simple, straightforward joy.

The following updates will go live on all scenario servers except RaidZones. Weapon and gear updates for RaidZones will be detailed in a separate announcement later.

I. New Weapons

(1) New Weapon: EBR-14 - Octopus! Grilled Rings!

▪ Chance to trigger Burn on hit.

▪ At max Burn stacks, creates a fire ring dealing AoE DMG.

▪ Blaze DMG Boost

▪ Reduced Burn stacks, increased Crit Rate.

(2) New Weapon: TEC9 - Additional Rules

▪ Guaranteed Fortress Warfare trigger on hit (cooldown applies).

▪ Reloading on empty restores some Deviant Power.

▪ After using Deviations, bullets deal Elemental DMG (type depends on Deviations).

▪ In Fortress Warfare status, Crit Rate increases.

II. New Gear
