Once Human Beginner Mistakes To Avoid
Once Human: Beginner Mistakes To Avoid

Once Human is a complex game with a steep learning curve, so make sure you don't make these simple mistakes.

In many ways, Once Human is old school when it comes to farming materials and loot. Some resources, such as acid, are absolutely vital to farm in large quantities, and blueprints can only be unlocked by farming loot crates. There are some loot locations in Once Human that are more profitable and efficient than others though, as these offer the most loot in the shortest time, expending the least ammo.

7 Brookham

Low-Level Acid FarmingBrookham Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human

Brookham is a level 9 polluted POI, meaning that it is the perfect place for new players to farm acid if they need it. The random loot is also useful to new players, although less useful once a player hits around level 15 in this survival shooter.

Once Human has a wide choice of weapons available for players, covering all playstyles from melee combat to sniping.

The gear and weapon chests in this POI can give equipment including weapons and armor that are appropriate for new players as well. Higher-level players looking for a good acid farm should avoid low-level POIs such as Brookham, for two reasons. Firstly, the enemies drop less acid, and secondly, low-level players need to kill these enemies for quests, so high-level players killing them all is a little unfair.

6 High Banks

Another Low-Level Acid Farm

High Banks Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human

As a level 13 polluted POI, High Banks is another great place for newish players to farm acid. And as with Brookham, the gear and weapon crates will provide useful loot for players of the correct level. And once again, high-level players will get little benefit from farming such a low-level POI and are better off just leaving it alone.

The loot crates and the randomly scattered loot are needed for crafting mid-game items and for building base structures, so it is well worth players spending some time farming loot at High Banks before progressing to the next open-world map zone.

5 Greywater Industrial Zone

Mid-Level Acid Farm

Greywater Industrial Zone Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human

For players around level 30, Greywater Industrial Zone is the best place to farm acid in the game. And just as importantly, it provides loot that a mid-level player is going to need to complete some of their journey tasks as well.

As a polluted POI, it does have a pretty nasty boss wandering around, so low-level players would be better off farming one of the two POIs that were covered in a previous section. For players up to around level 35, this POI is still worth farming, as the player will not have gained access to tier 5 weapons and gear yet, making the more advanced POIs a little tough to farm without spending a fortune on materials for ammo and activators.

4 White Cliff

High-Level Crate Farming

White Cliff Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human

White Cliff is a level 50 Rosetta POI, and it is a tough one for players who are either too low-level or don’t have decent gear. However, once a player has access to tier 5 armor and weaponry, and has suitably upgraded it through the calibration process, they should be able to tackle this POI without too many problems.

Once Human players should prioritize getting the following memetics first to help their character's progression.

This isn’t an acid farming location, the value of this POI is the fact that it is a great source of Automatic Parts, and also has a great many loot crates, including gear and weapon crates that give end-game, high-level loot, weapons, and armor.

3 Foresaken Monolith

High-Level Polluted Zone

Foresaken Monolith Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human
For players who want to be able to farm acid at the same time as farming high-level loot, weapons, and armor, there is no better location in Once Human than the Foresaken Monolith. This is a large POI that is crawling with deviations. Stock up on ammo and activators before farming this POI, as many of the enemies are bullet sponges, and it is easy to be targeted by flying enemies and take damage before even realizing there is an enemy there. Overall, this is a one-stop shop for loot and materials, but it is limited to high-level, well-geared players.

2 Holt Town

Best Acid Farming Location In The Game

Holt Town Is A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human
As a level 30 polluted POI, Holt Town is the best acid farming location for high-level players in this survival game. They will be able to breeze through groups of enemies with no problem, mopping up around 300-400 acid per hour. Some of the other loot in this POI is still useful at high levels, as it is used for constructing medications and other commonly used items. Once a player learns this POI, they will find that there is a circuit they can run, with enemies and loot crates respawning by the time they have finished the circuit.

Players on the hunt for Acid in Once Human should focus their attention on the following farming locations.

1 Securement Silos

Instanced Dungeons

Securement Silos Are A Good Place To Farm Loot In Once Human

Once a player hits level 50, Securement Silos are arguably the best place to start farming for loot and materials. Especially the ones that are infested with deviations, rather than Rosetta humanoids.

The great thing about farming Securement Silos is that they all have a mini-boss and a final boss, that give great loot and also rare currencies and energy links. Of course, to farm these locations efficiently, a player needs a tier 5 weapon and armor that has been at least somewhat calibrated. Don’t forget to take a few Adrenaline Shots as well, as a death inside the silo means exiting the instance and resetting it if the player can’t self-res inside.
