If you’ve been waiting to see how Once Human Update 2.0.1 changes the game, this week’s patch might just blow you away. This latest update is all about quality of life improvements, balancing legendary weapons, and adding some fun new features, plus a few quirky surprises.
Seamless Experience with New Game Modes
Once Human Update 2.0.1 introduces an important structural shift: the main mode and Raid Zone are now split into distinct experiences. With a newly added button in the main menu, you can switch between Raid Zone and the main scenario easily. Event rewards, battle pass progression, and special activities now pertain specifically to the mode you’re playing.
- Cosmetics and character slots remain shared across both modes for flexibility.
- Events and rewards are locked to their corresponding mode, letting you specialize and focus your gameplay.
- Scenario System: Characters can still be moved between zones, but mode-specific exclusives make choices matter more.
Once Human Update 2.0.1: Server Additions and Social Improvements
In Once Human Update 2.0.1, server customization receives much-needed attention. Additionally, Custom server owners gain access to the Endless Dream mode and can now support up to 100 players, fostering bigger community events or clan matches.
- Server Overload Indicator: There’s a new visual prompt when an area becomes congested by combat, helping you recognize server-side lag and relieve it by moving elsewhere.
- Permanent Server Joining: You can hop into permanent servers directly via scenario signup, ensuring no waits for mergers and making it easier to play with friends new and old.

Once Human Update 2.0.1: Camera and Wish Machine Updates
You can now perfect your in-game photography with the latest camera mode changes. Three new customizable light sources let you adjust not only position and intensity but also choose your preferred colors, giving each photo a studio-quality touch.
- Wish Machine Expansion: Three new prize pools have landed—Snow Camo Gloves and Black Stone Set, Hazardous Object, and the Silent Anabasis.
- Loot Crate Visuals: Each returning loot crate set gets updated effects, new visual themes, unique name cards, and color variations based on your collection progress.
Once Human Raid Zone: Fairer and More Challenging
This update brings impactful changes to the Raid Zone:
- No more long-distance base scouting by abusing territory outlines.
- Safe zones added around crucial NPC vendors, but with a catch: logging out in these zones for 30+ minutes now drains character HP, shutting down camping.
- Exploit Patch: Saving rival territories as blueprints is disabled to keep the competition fair.
- Building Enhancements: Garages are buildable in Raid Zone, so you can now find, craft, and assemble vehicle parts for raiding efficiency.
Explosive New Ammo and Weapon Balancing
Once Human Update 2.0.1 can’t be discussed without talking about its arsenal shake-ups.
- Incendiary Ammo: New ammo type that sacrifices velocity and damage for the chance to ignite foes and wooden barricades.
- Other Ammo Tweaks: High-velocity rounds become even faster, while demolition shells trade speed for power.
