How To Make A Gun In Once Human

Learning how to craft weapons is essential for survival in Once Human. This guide walks you through the complete process of making your first gun, from unlocking the necessary workbench to crafting different weapon tiers. Whether you’re a beginner or looking to upgrade your arsenal, this tutorial will get you equipped quickly.

Step 1: Unlock the Gear Workbench

The first step in crafting any gun is unlocking the Gear Workbench. You can find this blueprint in the crafting tab of your Mimetics menu. Make sure you have it unlocked before proceeding to the next step.

Once unlocked, build the Gear Workbench in the world. This is your primary crafting station for all weapons.

Step 2: Access the Gear Workbench Crafting Menu

Approach your newly built Gear Workbench and interact with it to open the crafting menu. You’ll see the prompt “Craft weapon” with the associated key binds displayed on screen.

Press the designated key to open the weapons crafting interface.

Step 3: Browse Available Weapon Blueprints

Once in the crafting menu, you’ll see multiple tabs at the top representing different gun types you can manufacture. Each tab corresponds to a different weapon category.

The tabs will appear empty until you discover weapon blueprints by finding weapon crates scattered throughout the world. As you explore and loot, you’ll unlock more weapon options.

Step 4: Understanding Weapon Tiers and Damage

Once you have a blueprint, you can craft different tiers of the same weapon. Each tier offers improved performance. For example, the SMG comes in multiple tiers:

Tier 1: 26 damage

Tier 2: 40 damage

Higher tiers deal more damage but may require additional or rarer crafting materials. Choose the tier that matches your current resource availability.

Step 5: Check Required Crafting Materials

Before crafting, review the materials needed for your chosen weapon tier. The interface displays all required components on the right side of the screen.

If you haven’t discovered certain materials yet, they will appear grayed out or with question marks. Materials you already possess will show clearly with their names and quantities. For lower tiers like Tier 1 SMG, you’ll see all material requirements listed, such as the SMG receiver and other components.

Step 6: Understand Automatic Component Crafting

Many weapons require sub-components like receivers and other parts. The good news is that these items will be automatically crafted on the Weapons Workbench when you craft the main weapon. You don’t need to manually craft each component separately—the system handles it for you.

Step 7: Craft Your Weapon

Once you’ve selected your weapon and confirmed you have all necessary materials, press the confirm key (F + hold) to begin crafting. The Gear Workbench will automatically process the materials and create your new gun.

After the crafting animation completes, your newly crafted weapon will be ready to use.

Summary

Crafting guns in Once Human is a straightforward process once you have the right setup. Remember to unlock the Gear Workbench first, explore the world to find weapon blueprints, gather the necessary materials, and use the workbench to assemble your weapons. Different tiers offer varying damage outputs, so choose based on your available resources and combat needs. With practice, you’ll be building a powerful arsenal in no time.
