Once Human offers a dynamic experience as players journey across a world ruined by evil. One must fight enemies, gather resources, and set up a base to survive. As such, surviving in this cruel world isn’t an easy task as you'll need to go to the wild and look for resources in order to craft better weapons, facilities, and various other items.

One important ore in Once Human is Tungsten, which is hard to locate. This guide aims to provide a complete walkthrough of locating and acquiring this ore in the game.

How to Get Tungsten Ore

Tungsten is a strong and valuable metal. In order to get your hands on Tungsten Ore resource, make your way to the Red Sands using the map to navigate. This location yields the highest amount of resources as it is a high-tier area. Alongside Tungsten, you will find many other valuable resources, such as aluminum, copper, and gold around here.

Although the highest concentration of Tungsten is in the Red Sands, you can find it in other regions of the game as well.

Tungsten and Aluminum Ores are very much alike. On top of this, these two are usually found next to each other in the same areas, making it harder to differentiate them. However, with careful observation, you can distinguish between them: Aluminum has a lighter color, while Tungsten is darker. Once you get used to mining these ores, telling them apart becomes easier.

Upon locating Tungsten, approach the Ore and simply interact with it using the designated key (F by Default). Using the Alloy Pickaxe, start mining and gather as much as you can.

You can mark this location on the map and remember to check back every 30 minutes to track their progress as these ores respawn after almost half an hour in Once Human.

How to Craft an Alloy Pickaxe

Unfortunately, you can't mine Tungsten with a Copper or Steel Pickaxe and need to craft an Alloy Pickaxe to get the job done since it is a very strong metal. To unlock this Pickaxe, you’ll first need to open the Memetics menu and unlock Alloy Pickaxes Memetic from Tier 4 of the Infrastructure Tab and follow these steps:

  • Access your Intermediate Supplies Workbench and select Alloy Pickaxe from available options.
  • Click on "Craft" or press F to initiate the crafting process.
  • Wait for 25 seconds and click on the Alloy Pickaxe from the crafting menu to add it to your inventory.
