Cradle Overrides in Once Human let you deck out your character with passive buffs, but Way of Winter overrides are different from other scenarios. See how to unlock the cradle, how to unlock cradle nodes, the different cradle overrides, and what cradle overrides are in this guide.
List of Contents
In Way of Winter, you don't need to progress in the main quest to unlock the Cradle unlike in other scenarios. Just reach level 5, and you will automatically unlock it.
Unlike other scenarios, where you need to clear Securement Silos and defeat Monolith bosses, in Way of Winter you only need to level up. Cradle Nodes unlock every 5 levels starting at Level 5, with all eight nodes available by Level 40!

Cradle Overrides are powerful passive buffs in Once Human that boost your Meta's abilities and weapon effects. They can increase your damage, improve status effects, and enhance your overall combat performance.
To use these buffs, you need to unlock Cradle Nodes, which act as slots for the overrides. Each node you unlock lets you equip a different override, giving you the freedom to customize your character’s strengths for different challenges.
Some overrides are exclusive to Way of Winter, while others from different scenarios aren’t available, so keep that in mind when planning your build! Also keep in mind that the developers occasionally tweak the override effects for balance, so the buffs may change over time.
