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.
| What's New in Version 1.6.1 |
|---|
|
|
| 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. |
|
| 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. |
|
| Sanity Corrosion Capsule | |
|---|---|
| ・Added the Sanity Corrosion Capsule. It reduces your Sanity and can be crafted at any Stove. | |

| Starfall Collection: Visional Wheel S1 Exclusive Event | |
|---|---|
| ・Collect rare Gravity Crystals to unlock wonderful rewards, including new weapon skins, charms, avatars, collection items, and more. ・There is a weekly cap on Gravity Crystals that count toward event progress. After reaching this cap, event progress will be limited. ・During the event, Gravity Crystals can also be used to redeem items and rewards from past Visional Wheel seasons, but redemption limits apply. This can be done at the Past Shop. |
|
| New Limited-Time Wish Machine Prize Pools | |
|---|---|
| ・After the update on May 21(PT), the following new Wish Machine prize pools will be available for 3 weeks. ・Bounce Bear: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint: Kumawink. ・Critical Power Surge: Includes the Legendary weapon blueprint: Critical Pulse. ・Gravity Dance Pants: Includes the Legendary gear blueprints: Tattoo Pants, Gravity Tide Helmet, Gravity Tide Top, and Gravity Tide Gloves. |
|

| 1.6.1 Optimizations |
|---|
|
|
| Monetization Experience Optimizations | |
|---|---|
| ・The Lightforge Loot Crate rules have also been improved for clarity. |
| 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 | |
|---|---|
・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.
・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 | |
|---|---|
| ・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. ・Optimized vehicle combat: - Damage numbers are now shown when hitting enemies with vehicles. - A vehicle's remaining HP is now shown when it takes damage from enemies. |
| Wilderness | |
|---|---|
| ・Added a route recalculation tip for when the player changes the navigation destination too frequently. ・We've recently received feedback from many Meta-Humans about Rift Anchor icons not appearing on the world map, which affected the exploration experience. This issue has now been urgently fixed. We'll continue to improve Rift Anchor visibility and guidance in future updates. |
|
| Dungeons | |
| ・Optimized the completion rewards for the Public Crisis Event: Paradox Space. The rewards now include Keyword Suffix Mod Box - Stardust's Advent II. | |
| Trade | |
| ・Harvesters' Markets are now safe zones where PvP is disabled. | |
| Items/Backpack | |
| ・Increased Stellar Planula stack size to 10,000. ・Increased Sproutlet stack size to 100,000. ・Added a tip to alert the player when there are too many discarded items at their location. Any further items discarded will be permanently destroyed, so it is recommended to find a different area to discard them. |
|
| Tasks | |
| ・Optimized NPC interactions. ・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. | |
| Reporting System | |
| ・Added a new report category: Maliciously affecting other players. ・Descriptions are no longer required when submitting a report. Selecting a category will suffice. | |
| Other | |
| ・Optimized the layout of the Deviant preview in Territory Purification on the mobile version. ・Moved the Self-Destruct button from the sidebar to the Settings menu on the mobile version. ・Improved the description of the item inheritance rules on the Scenario Sign-Up screen. ・Added a feature to download settings from the cloud to the mobile version. Players can now download and apply settings from the cloud. ・Added a Scenario tab to the Survival Manual. In this tab, gameplay tutorials are sorted by scenario. |
| Shop | |
|---|---|
| ・Fixed the display of red dots on the Lightforge Loot Crate screen. | |
| Combat | |
| ・Fixed an issue where Deviants would rapidly appear and disappear from the field of view on the mobile version. ・Fixed an issue where Deviants would become stuck if the building material below them was removed. ・Fixed an issue where OTS could not be exited in some situations. ・Fixed a display issue affecting the crosshairs when scoped in with a Tactical Optic during mid-range combat. ・Fixed an issue where rescuing other players could be interrupted in some situations. ・Removed the muzzle distortion effect when firing. |

|
| Vehicles | |
| ・Fixed an issue where some Memetic Specialization memory fragments could not be listed for sale on the Vending Machine. ・Fixed an issue where the Vending Machine's advertisement was not displayed correctly. |
|
| Vehicles | |
| ・Fixed an issue where all motorcycle skins sometimes veered right during off-road riding. ・Fixed an issue where the character would stop pedaling after drifting with a bicycle. |
|
| Dungeons | |
| ・Fixed an issue where the Spider Eggs generated by the boss in the Arachsiam dungeon were difficult to hit. ・Fixed an issue where teleporting out of The Prime War would send the player back to their territory. ・Fixed an issue where character hair was not displayed during The Prime War. |
|
| Map | |
