For the first few hours of gameplay, Once Human is a survival MMO with players expanding their territory to house things built from the various Memetic trees. There is also a main story that helps players progress through the world and activate the various Rift Anchors to open the pathway to bosses.

As players get further into the game and want to join up with allies and partake in PVP, they can join a Warband. Warbands are like clans in Once Human and also offer players unique things to do as various Warbands fight for resources.

How To Create Or Join A Warband

Players can create a Warband by going to the main menu, selecting the, "Get United" option, then selecting, "Warband". A list of existing Warbands in your current world will be displayed along the left side of the screen, with players also able to change worlds in order to get access to different Warbands if they would prefer different options.

Some Warbands require applications, and sending them is as easy as selecting the Warband you want to join and press the, "Join Warband" button in the bottom right of the screen. Next to this button is the option to create a Warband, with players able to customize the name, logo, slogan, and restrictions to join. Creating a Warband makes you the leader, but it also costs 800 Energy Links. Joining a Warband, on the other hand, is free, with players able to join and leave as many Warbands as they want.

Basics Of A Warband

Warbands are the Once Human version of clans. Joining a Warband gives you allies that you can play together with while doing the basic activities in the game. As Warbands get stronger, they are able to take and hold territory to gather resources for all players in the Warband, while also declaring war with other Warbands to take territory.

Upon first joining a Warband, players will get access to the Warband menu, found in the same place players went when trying to join a Warband. In this menu, basic members will be given a few things they can do:

Name

Explanation

Donate

In the Overview menu will be the "Donate Warband Fund" option in the bottom left. Players can donate ten items weekly to earn Warband Credits.

Check Members

The members menu lets players see the profiles of all members in the Warband, their ranking in the Warband, and whether they are online or not. This menu also gives players the ability to leave the Warband by holding, "Z".

Shop

Players can trade their Warband Credits and Stardust Source for various items, with many refreshing weekly.

There are a few other things that can be done in a Warband, such as taking territory or declaring war, but this is only done by the leader.
