Once Human's Way Of Winter Weapons Ranked

Key Takeaways

M416 – Scorched Earth: Good early game weapon with Burn chance, synergizes with Elemental gear sets.
M416 – Autumn Equinox: Self-sustainable weapon with Fortress Warfare heals, rewards high HP in PvE.
ACS12 – Pyroclasm Starter: Deadly in close quarters, boosts Blaze and Burn damage upon reload.

As a seasoned gamer with countless hours clocked in various battlefields, I must say that the Lightweight Style calibration for the MG4 is a wise choice, especially if you’re aiming for long-range precision. The Shrapnel effect it offers can be quite beneficial when used strategically. However, remember that this weapon relies heavily on increasing its magazine capacity, so mods with such attributes are a must.

In the game “Once Human”, the Winter scenario titled “The Way Of Winter” has been initiated, causing a frenzy among players as they strive tirelessly to secure access to the freshly minted servers. Upon arrival, you’ll find yourself immersed in new story quests, missions, and exploration objectives that beckon you. Brace yourself for the unforgiving weather by donning your top-tier equipment to ensure your survival.

As a thrilled enthusiast, I’m excited to share that this recent update has brought an abundance of fresh content for us gamers! Among the exciting additions are no less than five brand-new weapons just waiting to be fiddled with and mastered!

Without further ado, let me take you through these new weapons and show you how good they are.

5 M416 – Scorched Earth

Good For Early Game

Weapon Features	12% chance to trigger Burn on hitting an enemy
Weapon Features	Burn damage increases by 10%

This weapon lacks any advanced abilities. If you’re low on Starchrome and can’t afford superior weapons, the Scorched Earth should prove useful in your harvesting missions instead.

The gun synergizes with Elemental damage gear sets like the Shelterer and Blackstone sets.

In extreme weather, your health points (HP) could decrease, but to offset this, consider using the Burn ability which restores your character’s health after every enemy defeat.

4 M416 – Autumn Equinox

Self-Sustainable

Weapon Features	Trigger Fortress Warfare after 7 hits (cooldown 15s)
	Recover 4% of max HP per second in the Fortress Warfare area
	Weapon damage +25% when HP is above 75%

For single player adventures, the Fortress Warfare stands out as an effective choice. It offers improved visuals, allowing you to easily identify the spot where healing is applied.

With a high fire rate, you don’t have to worry about the effect of not being able to trigger.

This weapon encourages keeping your Health Points (HP) high, as it offers advantages in Player versus Environment (PvE) situations. Unlike in Player versus Player (PvP), where reducing damage is typically crucial, in PvE you don’t need to focus on stacking damage reduction.

With the latest Blueprint conversion system, you’re able to transfer upgrade capabilities from one unlocked weapon to another.

3 ACS12 – Pyroclasm Starter

Deadly At Close Quarters

Weapon Features	Shots have a 27% chance of triggering Burn
	Shots have a 20% chance of generating a Deviant particle that can help you enter a Charge state.
	Consume all Charge stacks upon reload to add Dragon’s breath effect to ammunition until the next reload. Attacks deal Blaze elemental weapon damage equal to 85% attack (Burn damage bonus applies) in the effect.
	Each charge stack used increases Blaze damage by 10% up to 4 stacks.

I’d rather not find myself handling the business end of this gun. This gun amplifies its Blaze and Burn damage by undergoing a reloading process. Once you gather the Deviant particles, you can reload the gun to activate its secondary effects.

It’s evident that the impact decreases when attacking distant targets, but the ACS12 weapon lineup delivers considerable power in close-to-medium distances.

The Lightweight Style calibration is a good pick on this gun.

2 MG4 – Conflicting Memories

Lethal From Long-range

Weapon Features	Triggers Shrapnel every 12 hits on a target, for every 40 magazine capacity, parts hit by Shrapnel +1, up to +4
	For every 15 magazine capacity in excess of 100, Shrapnel damage +8%
	Magazine capacity +40

A contender for the SOCR – The Last Valor. The Light Machine Gun focuses on Shrapnel as its core effect, which triggers after every 12 hits. With an extra 40 magazine capacity, you can get the Shrapnel damage bonus.

As an enthusiast, I can’t help but notice that this weapon is heavily dependent on enhancing its ammunition storage, or in simpler terms, its magazine capacity. This implies that any modifications I make should focus on improving these aspects for optimal performance.

In other words, it’s important to adjust Light Machine Guns for long-range accuracy as they tend to increase in recoil when fired continuously, whereas Assault Rifles generally don’t have large magazines.

Calibrations like the Overflow-Style are suited for this Light Machine Gun.

1 M416 – Silent Anabasis

An Auto Attacking Ace

Weapon Features	Shots have a 10% chance to trigger Frost Vortex
	Hitting a target with Frost Vortex generates an ice crystal with a cooldown of 1.5s
	Ice crystals shatter after 15 seconds, dealing 100% Psi intensity Frost status damage to nearby targets (a Frost vortex damage bonus applies). Ice crystals can be shattered by shooting, which increases the damage to 300% Psi intensity (deals 60% damage to players)
	Frost elemental damage +60%, plus an additional 20% for each shattered Ice crystal, for 10 seconds. (15 stacks)

In this community, the favorite weapon is particularly sought after due to its innovative feature – the Snow Camouflage gloves that automatically lock onto and launch icy missiles whenever ice crystals are broken.

As a dedicated fan, I can’t stress enough how indispensable the Frost Vortexes are when it comes to managing massive groups of Deviants. In tough scenarios like the Zone of Haze and the LEA Research Lab, having weapons that deal high Damage Per Second (DPS) or have crowd control abilities becomes absolutely crucial against waves of incoming enemies.

Sorry, The Last Valor, the new Frost AR is my best friend now.

Precision-style or Rapid Shot style are amazing calibration blueprints for this weapon.
