Once Human 1.6.1 Patch Notes and Updates

Explore the latest update in the May 21, 2025 patch 1.6.1 in Once Human. This guide covers new content updates, new shop arrivals and cosmetics, events, optimizations, and bug fixes introduced in this update.

Patch 1.6.1 New Content

What's New in Version 1.6.1

Visional Wheel S1: Starfall Inversion

Visional Wheel S1: Starfall Inversion
・Affected Scenarios: Manibus (non-novice), Evolution's Call, Prismverse's Clash, The Way of Winter.
Survival Environment and Gameplay Adjustments
・The inverted star will generate gravitational tides from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM (server time) daily, during which players will enter a unique low-gravity state known as Stellar Levity, allowing for higher jumps, extended airtime, immunity to fall damage, and significantly increased Load capacity.
・Explore and find Star Advent Loot Crates and Unstable Aggregates to acquire rare Gravity Crystals.
・Master a devastating plunge attack: use a melee attack in mid-air to quickly dash in your aimed direction. The plunge attack is available in all Visional Wheel scenarios.
Combat Updates
・Added the Gravity Tide set, obtainable from Unstable Aggregates.

1 piece: Increases jump height.
2 pieces: Increases Magazine Capacity.
3 pieces: Take reduced DMG from Deviants while airborne, and gain a DMG boost after mid-air movement.
4 pieces: Even larger damage boost after mid-air movement.
・Added the new Downstar mod suffix, obtainable from Unstable Aggregates. Equip it to gain stat bonuses when attacking enemies below you.
Survival Changes
・Added the Gravity Neutralizer and Gravity Tuner survival items, plus new item formulas and food recipes.
・Added the Anti-Gravity Foundation component, allowing players to build floating structures.
・While the gravitational tides are active, vehicles gain increased jump height, extended airtime, and do not lose Durability from high-altitude falls.
・Open Star Advent Loot Crates for a chance to obtain four types of gravity-warped animals and their skins, and six types of gravity-warped Deviations.
・After this update, servers with the Visional Wheel tag will automatically change to Starfall Inversion. All Lunar Oracle phenomena will stop completely, and special items (such as Lunar Whispers) will no longer drop.

RaidZone and Endless Dream Scenario

Endless Dream
・Full Map Access: All existing regions are accessible in Phase I. Explore Nalcott in its entirety—from the southern Broken Delta to Ember Strand in the north—right from the get-go.
・Dream Zones: Layers of nested Dream Zones encroach upon the wilderness, each featuring unique environmental traits and combat effects. As you venture deeper into the nightmares, their effects stack and multiply. As a Meta-Human, your mission is to purify these layered zones to reshape the environment and its rules. Construction is possible inside Dream Zones even without a Territory Terminal, allowing you to unleash your creativity and overcome the nightmare by any means possible.
・Player-Driven Progress and Multiple Endings: Dream Zones and Deviants will evolve as the scenario progresses, presenting ever-changing challenges. As Meta-Humans eliminate Eternal Dreamers, they will reduce the durations of Phases I to V, intensifying the scenario's pace and difficulty. Your collective efforts to purge the Eternal Dreamers will also decide the world's fate. Will the world be saved, or will you witness its ultimate destruction? The outcome rests entirely in your hands.
RaidZone
・Skill-Based Combat: All characters start on equal footing, with no inherited supplies, blueprints, or mods. Once Human: RaidZone also features dedicated equipment and skill trees designed for competitive play. All weapons and armor must be acquired within the game realm—perfect for players who prefer a pure PvP experience.
・Hardcore PvP: In this hostile world, nowhere is safe. Your territory structures can be destroyed by rival Meta-Humans, and you remain vulnerable to attacks even when offline. Plunder is the law of the land, and defeat means losing your gear and supplies. To survive, you must band together with allies to fortify your territory with defensive installations and traps. Stockpile weapons, ammunition, and explosives to raid rival territories, but stay vigilant for ambushes and hidden traps. Combat Deviations also feature new abilities and mechanics, offering unique tactical advantages that add strategic depth. Will you be the last one standing?
・Make the Ultimate Choice: Ursula, your enigmatic Deviation companion, evolves alongside you, her power growing with every Realm Fragment you collect. When fully strengthened, she can summon the devastating Manibus, dealing tremendous area damage and opening a massive dimensional Hollow. However, wielding the Original Entity's power will also destabilize the realm and hasten the arrival of the settlement phase. You must choose whether or not to wield this catastrophic power.

New Items

Sanity Corrosion Capsule

Sanity Corrosion Capsule
・Added the Sanity Corrosion Capsule. It reduces your Sanity and can be crafted at any Stove.

Patch 1.6.1 Events

Patch 1.6.1 Optimizations

1.6.1 Optimizations




Monetization Experience Optimizations

Monetization Experience Optimizations
・The Lightforge Loot Crate rules have also been improved for clarity.

Combat Optimizations

Combat Optimizations
・We have observed that single-target builds are underperforming, while Critical Pulse and Hazardous Object lack effectiveness in PvP. To improve balance, we will implement phased adjustments to enhance their strength.
・Reload Speed is currently capped, restricting the effectiveness of Reload Speed attributes in Calibration Blueprints for some playstyles. Hence, we're introducing the new Reload Efficiency attribute.
・Added a Switch Weapons button for melee weapons to the mobile version.
・Improved the display of HP bars for the player and normal enemies when they have Force.
・Added an on-screen effect when the player's Force falls to 0 after being hit.

Construction

Construction
・To make it easier for players to find locations to build or relocate their territories in the wilderness, we have added a visibility toggle for buildable areas. When in Construction mode, open the Visibility settings and enable 'Show construction area' to show buildable areas.

  1. Open the Build menu and select Visibility settings.
  2. In the Visibility settings, enable 'Show construction area' to show buildable areas or disable it to hide them.
・Added separate Recent tabs for Structures, Facilities, Furniture, Prints, and Eternaland in Construction mode. In these tabs, components are sorted by frequency of use.
・Added Load-Bearing Capacity, an indicator of structures' support strength. If it runs out, the structure will collapse. The support and connection of the wall will be more flexible.
・Optimized the display of button text in the Furniture Dye interface.

Vehicles

Vehicles
・Increased the protective performance of the Off-Roader's Classic skin.
・Improved peek-shooting from vehicle passenger positions:

- Fixed an issue where the bullet impact point deviated from the crosshair, thus improving peek-shooting accuracy.
- Adjusted the field of view when using peek-shooting. Previously, the field of view was too narrow.
・Improved the feel of bicycle and motorcycle flips:

- Reduced the difficulty of performing vertical tricks with two-wheeled vehicles. Players can now perform death-defying flips more easily.

All Optimizations

Wilderness
・Added a route recalculation tip for when the player changes the navigation destination too frequently.

・Increased Sproutlet stack size to 100,000.

Tasks

・Journeys, scenario challenges, and commissions are now accessible from the Journey interface.
Eternaland
・Optimized the Eternaland category tab icons in the Build menu.
・Added customizable visitor claim cooldowns to reward crates.
