In Once Human, raiding and defending your base is crucial, especially when dealing with Echo Stones. These precious resources can significantly boost your progress, but they also attract mobs and other players. This guide will walk you through the essentials of raiding, base defense, and efficient use of Echo Stones.
How to Raid Once Human Bases?
Echo Stones are valuable items that, when purified, yield Star Crumbs, an essential currency in Once Human. Here’s what you need to know:
Types of Echo Stones
| Tier | Availability Phase | Recommended | Reward Potential |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tier 1 | Early Game | No | Low |
| Tier 2 | Early Game | No | Low |
| Tier 3 | Phase 2 | Yes | High |
| Tier 4 | Phase 3 | Yes | Very High |
Obtaining Echo Stones
- Spawn Locations: Echo Stones spawn in wilderness zones, with higher-tier stones appearing in later phases.
- Spawn Rate: Stones spawn every hour but stop spawning between 4:00 AM and the afternoon.
Purifying Echo Stones
Purifying Echo Stones involves placing them in a purifier at your base. This process attracts mobs and can trigger PvP mode, making your base vulnerable to attacks.
Purification Steps
- Insert Echo Stone: Place the Echo Stone in the purifier.
- Defend the Base: Mobs and possibly players will attack. Stay vigilant and defend your base.
- PvP Mode Activation: Exiting and re-entering your territory during purification will trigger PvP mode, so be prepared for player encounters.
Base Layout for Purification
A strong base layout is essential for defending against mobs and players:
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Foundation | Start with a 2×2 foundation to create a compact, defensible structure. |
| Elevation | Elevate the foundation slightly to hinder mob movement and gain height advantage. |
| Walls & Windows | Surround the purifier with walls and windows. Use windows strategically for visibility. |
| Turrets | Place turrets around the perimeter to automatically attack incoming threats. |
Advanced Defensive Structures
- Multiple Window Layers: Stack windows within each other to create a thicker barrier. Note: breaking one layer compromises all stacked windows.
- Auto Turrets: Set up auto turrets to automatically target and eliminate threats.
