Once Human September 12 Patch Notes
Once Human players are in for a treat with the upcoming September 12th update. The maintenance is scheduled for 12 PM Beijing Time and is expected to last about 4 hours. This patch brings a wealth of new content, fixes, and optimizations based on community feedback. Let’s check all of the changes!
Deviation Adjustments and Optimizations
Increased Drop Rate
The drop rate for Morphed Deviations has been increased.
Additional Ways to Obtain
In addition to public areas, we’ve added new private methods for obtaining Deviations to the wilderness. You can now search neutral securement facilities at the camp for Deviations.
Deviation drop rates during dungeon settlement have been increased, while Securement Silo acquisition methods remain unchanged.
Season Adjustments and Optimizations
When a Scenario enters the Settlement Phase, worlds will merge. This ensures you can keep engaging with others in a lively and dynamic environment. We will inform you if your World is about to merge. Please make sure to move your territories to a safe World before the merge.
Vehicle Optimizations
We’ve improved the vehicle reporting system. Now you can directly report parked vehicles that are blocking the way.

In Phase III of Manibus and Evolution’s Call, there’s a chance that regular Public Crisis Events will transform into High-Risk Public Crisis Event whens they refresh. In these events, you’ll face stronger enemies, but the completion rewards will also be greater.
