Once Human: How to Increase Pollution Resistance

Once Human: How to Increase Pollution Resistance

As a seasoned gamer who has braved countless post-apocalyptic wastelands, I can attest to the importance of having a high pollution resistance in games like Once Human. The relentless onslaught of Stardust’s toxic environment is a formidable adversary that tests not only your character’s physical endurance but also their mental fortitude.


In the novel “Once Human,” Stardust has gained control over the entire world and contaminated it extensively. The water and soil have been tainted, turning the planet into a perilous wasteland filled with noxious gases and lethal radiation. Regrettably, your Meta-Human status does not grant you immunity to Stardust’s destructive effects.

Being around pollution not only harms your body but also affects your mental peace. Therefore, pollution remains a persistent danger, undermining both your physical and emotional health. In polluted environments, even attempts to recover your health prove futile. Given that we can’t always avoid such places, it is crucial to strengthen our ability to withstand pollution.

How To Increase Pollution Resistance

Once Human: How to Increase Pollution Resistance

As a gamer in the world of Once Human, I find pollution resistance to be an engaging gameplay mechanic that assesses my character’s resilience against the detrimental effects of a polluted environment. This statistic represents my ability to withstand and shrug off the health depletion inflicted by Stardust and its noxious residues.

With greater resistance to pollution, you’re able to explore heavily polluted environments without experiencing a rapid decline in health. An effective way to boost this resistance is by utilizing equipment adorned with the Pollution Resist enhancement (such as helmets, chest armor, and masks).

In the game “Once Human,” gear is divided into different tiers. Gear from a higher tier provides more robust protection against pollution. For instance, starting gear (Tier 1) comes with a basic pollution resistance of 9 points, which can be enhanced up to 12 when you upgrade them to Tier 2. Protective clothing such as chest armor and masks boast the greatest protection, offering an initial pollution resistance of 12 points that can be amplified to 16.

In the initial stages, the most suitable equipment to enhance Pollution Resistance is referred to as the Test Subject Outfit. This outfit boasts an enhanced pollution resistance for each piece worn, making it particularly beneficial in highly polluted zones such as Dayton Wetlands. You can craft or enhance this set at your leisure by employing a Gear Workbench.

In addition to gears, there are certain edibles and beverages that can temporarily enhance your resistance to contamination and aid in both restoring your Health and tranquility. Therefore, it’s essential to keep handy consumables such as Sanity Gummies, Ice Cubes, and Fruit Teas to remedy pollution harm and alleviate sanity depletion. Another effective method for healing pollution damage is by taking a rest in your bed.

Gear and supplies can help enhance your resistance to contamination, but keep in mind that they don’t offer a failsafe protection. Consequently, you’ll still experience some Health and Mental health depletion when exposed to severely polluted environments.
