Weapons and armor matter a lot when it comes to survival, but so do the extra items that can help you overcome challenging situations, especially regarding PvP or Pro Dungeons. Tactical items play a vital role in ensuring your survival in critical situations.

Having played both PvP and PvE modes inOnce Human, I can guarantee that tactical items are a lifesaver for life-or-death scenarios.

The use of a good item can help you win crucial battles. With that said, let’s go over the 10 Best Tactical Items inOnce Human.

10Sticky Ice Crystal

They’re Heavy To Carry

Description

Use to create a large ice cube at the target location or attach it to other ice cubes

With the introduction of temperature mechanics in The Way of Winter inOnce Human, survival is even more challenging since you can die in extreme temperatures. That’s where the Sticky Ice Crystal can save you from extreme heat in areas like the Fire Throat.

It’s a tactical item produced by theIce Crystal Deviationin the Way of Winter. It has almost 1000 HP, and you can use it toreduce the nearby temperature by throwing it; it is very helpful in heat zones.

9Projection Generators

Double Trouble

Creates a replica of the user and deals damage to nearby enemies

The item does exactly what you would think. Your character’sreplica spawns with a certain HPthat deals damage according to your PSI intensity. They’re helpful in Pro Dungeons like theWay Of Winter’s Black Sectorand Manibus' LEA Lab, where hordes of deviants swarm you.

You can throw the projection generator totake off some enemies' aggrofrom you and have a breath of relief to reload, reposition or use an activator.

Items that scale off the user’s PSI intensity require enhanced armor pieces to deal more damage

fusion lighter

8Smoke Bomb

They Can’t See Anything

Releases a cloud of smoke for 30 seconds near the enemies

Smoke Bombs are quite underrated in my opinion. They helped me clear the solo LEA lab challenge in Manibus, especially in the last phase, where the enemies' spawn rate is faster.

thermal tower

Throw aSmoke Bomb to bewilder enemiesand they won’t be able to notice you until you attack them, a fine item to diffuse the aggro for a short while.

you’re able to also use the Smoke bomb and Spectrum generator in PvP to ambush enemies.

7Fusion Lighter

A highly unstable kind of grenade that deals damage according to a random base multiplier

You need the Split-Core Cotton material fromthe Atomic Lighter Deviationto craft these grenades. These grenades are very helpful inPvP and Prismverse scenarioswhere you need to focus on enemies and their bases.

We used tomass produce these lighters to raid basesin the PvP zones. The best thing about these grenades is the materials that you need.

They’re easy to find in the late-game and you can craft them at the Supplies Workbench than Synthesis benches.

6Scout Drone

A Helpful Companion

A reconnaissance drone for remote intelligence gathering, automatic cruising and suppressing enemies

Another good tactical item thatsupplements extra damage alongside you. With the help of the Scout Drone: Invisible Hunter specialization, the drone gets extra HP and damage, and even applies the Bull’s eye effect on the enemies.

I’ve runtwo SOCR—The Last Valorwith these drones to clear the LEA lab in the Manibus scenario and can vouch for their potency.

5Stardust Barriers

A Portable Shield

A device that spawns a small barricade in front of you and shields you from incoming damage

A really good item for Pro Dungeons andPvP scenarios where you’re able to defendyourself by putting up a barricade in front of you, which absorbs incoming damage for its health.

The shield hashealth of 1500% PSI intensity, which means you need to have enhanced gear pieces to increase your overall PSI intensity.

You can further enhance it with the Stardust Barrier: Hold The Line specialization, which increases its HP and grants it extra perks.

Press I, go to Gear, and press C to see your overall stats, which include the PSI intensity value.

4Spectrum Generator

Quick! Hide Yourself

Use the device to go invisible and have a cloaking effect on your character

The item grants youpartial invisibility for 15 seconds, which means NPC deviants can’t target you. However,you’ll be targetable by humanssince they can still see you.

This tactical item is quite underrated since you don’t have a long cooldown like the Spectral cloak, which requires a specialization to make.

In a Pro dungeon, you can use this item to reposition, reload, and heal without being targeted by Deviants.

3Portable MG Turret

Feels Like Another Player

Deploy the gun tower on the ground, and it’ll automatically attack nearby enemies.

It is asolid choice for solo challengeswhere you need to remove enemy aggro from your character. Place these turrets down, shoot the enemies,s and clear the content.

Additionally, these turrets can be placed on some walls, which makes them hard to hit. You can also use them in PvP situations like the Cargo Scramble to supplement for extra damage.

you may only place a maximum of three turrets at the same time.

Power Them Up

Use to enhance Turrets, Drones, and Portable Machine Gun Towers nearby

To get the plasma materials, you need to obtain theOrb Lightning Deviation. All you need to do is craft this item and throw it at your Turrets toboost their overall damage by 25%.

On top of that, there’s a 33% chance of triggering a Power Surge with a cooldown of 15 seconds. This tactical item goes hand-in-hand with allied Turrets, Drones, and Portable Machine Gun Towers, which are other good Tactical items.

1Space Twister

Instant Teleportation

Summon the teammates in your world, or go to theirs.

You can’t change the world without going to a teleportation tower. However, with the Space Twister,you can summon teammatesto your location or go to their spot instantly.

In whatever scenario you’re playing, Space Twisters are indispensable since no tactical item can replace another player who’s packed with multiple tactical items.

You need the Space Turner Deviation to get the Spacial keystone materials for Space Twister.
