Quick start

Drop into Nalcott without wasting your first evening on the wrong scenario.

  1. 1

    Pick Manibus, then claim codes

    New Metas should start on a PvE Manibus scenario rather than winter or PvP. After the tutorial, redeem every live Once Human code for Starchrom and crates.

  2. 2

    Stand up a Territory Core

    Plant a core near water and ore, unlock power and storage, then park Digby Boy and Festering Gel so the base works while you explore. The base building guide shows a season-proof layout.

  3. 3

    Protect Sanity before raw DPS

    Polluted food and Stardust zones cut max HP. Cook clean meals, carry Activators, and read the survival checklist before you push Red Sands or a nightmare silo.

  4. 4

    Spend Starchrom on one gun family

    Do not scatter Wish Machine pulls. Follow the Wish Machine guide and the weapon tier list so your first legendary stars a Shrapnel or Bounce weapon.

  5. 5

    Lock a build before Prime War

    Calibrations, armor mods, and food buffs matter more than raw rarity. Start with the Shrapnel build or the Compound Bow Bounce loadout, then check current patches.

FAQ

Wiki FAQ

Quick answers to the most common Once Human questions.

Is Once Human free on console?

Yes. The PS5 and Xbox Series versions launched on August 25, 2026 as free-to-play with full cross-play and first-person mode. Optional starter packs exist; they are cosmetics and convenience, not a paywall.

Where do I redeem Once Human codes?

On PC open Shop (F3) or Settings → Account → Redeem Code. On mobile use Settings → Redeem Code. Some anniversary strings must be typed in world chat. Full steps live on the codes page and the how to redeem guide.

Which scenario should a new player choose?

Manibus. It teaches crafting, Deviants, and Prime War without winter temperature or PvP warbands. Compare every mode on the scenarios guide before you hop to Endless Dream or Evolution's Call.

Which languages does this wiki support?

English, French, German, and Spanish. The Steam client also ships Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, and Russian; this fan wiki does not cover Simplified Chinese or Russian.

What is the best beginner weapon in 2026?

A Shrapnel rifle (SOCR Last Valor or SN700 Finale) or a Bounce Compound Bow. Both scale into nightmare silos. Rankings sit on the weapon tier list with full build pages.

Does Once Human have online co-op?

Yes. The game is online multiplayer with co-op PvE, hive bases, Prime War raids, and optional PvP scenarios such as Prismverse and RaidZone. There is no offline campaign.

Ready to survive Nalcott?

Claim the latest Once Human codes, follow the getting started checklist, and lock a shrapnel or bounce build before the next scenario reset.
