How To Make A Torch In Once Human

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the process of crafting a torch in Once Human. Torches are a useful early-game weapon that can set enemies on fire and provide thermal benefits. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll know exactly where to craft torches and what materials you’ll need.

Requirements: Gear Work Bench

The first thing you’ll need is a Gear Work Bench. These are typically unlocked during the tutorial phase of Once Human, so if you’ve progressed past the initial stages, you should have access to one.

Accessing the Weapon Crafting Menu

Once you’re at the Gear Work Bench, use the designated keybind to craft a weapon. For most players, this is the F key. Press this keybind to open the craft menu.

Navigate to Melee Weapons

After opening the craft menu, navigate to the right side of the menu where you’ll find the melee weapons category. The torch will be listed here among other melee weapon options.

Torch Stats and Abilities

Before crafting, it’s helpful to understand what a torch does. The torch features “Inflx Burn” on targets, which means it applies a burning effect when used in combat. While you’re holding a torch in your hand, it increases your temperature by 5 Celsius. Even more useful, hitting an enemy with a torch raises their temperature by 20 Celsius, making it an effective tool for thermal-based combat strategies.

Torch Materials and Ingredients

Tier 1 Torch Requirements

To craft a Tier 1 torch, you’ll need two main ingredients:

Logs — These are obtained by cutting down trees in the game world. This is a straightforward way to gather the wood needed for your torch.

Shabby Fabric — This material is easy to obtain by disassembling scraps at your Disassembly Bench.

How to Get Shabby Fabric

Shabby Fabric is one of the simplest materials to acquire. Simply take any scraps you find and place them in your Disassembly Bench. The bench will break down these scraps into Shabby Fabric, which you can then use for torch crafting.

Summary

Crafting a torch in Once Human is a straightforward process once you have access to a Gear Work Bench. Gather your logs from trees, break down scraps to get Shabby Fabric, and you’ll have everything you need to create a functional Tier 1 torch. With the torch equipped, you’ll gain thermal advantages in combat and the ability to set enemies on fire. This makes it a valuable early-game weapon as you progress through Once Human.
