New Abilities and Territory on the Move

Dear Metas,
The dev team behind Once Human has been working hard to bring you the most heart-pounding gaming experience possible. With the December beta test just around the corner, we just can't wait to give you a sneak peek of what's to come!

Territory On the Move
Imagine the joy of finally finding respite in your very own humble abode, after battling tirelessly against Deviants. However, Metas are like rolling stones, always yearning for new horizons and refusing to be confined to a single location. It's time to set your sights on constructing an extraordinary, heavy-duty RV with your Hive. This marvel of engineering is no ordinary vehicle; it is a mobile sanctuary, a fortress on wheels, bringing unparalleled security and comfort to your nomadic journey.

Mix and match a variety of materials and facilities to tailor the RV to your specific needs, and power everything up with personalized electric circuits.
Having an appetite for battling? Then look no further. With the right modification, the RV can reign supreme in both offense and defense. Gear it up, and be ready to unleash pure havoc as you target your weapons and ram Rosetta into gibs.
Seeking a little slice of peace? The RV also gets you covered. Equip it with parts that enhance passing abilities and navigate through difficult road conditions. Don't forget the cozy amenities that turn your RV into a home away from home: a fridge to store your fish fresh off the hook, and a kitchen to transform basic ingredients into a scrumptious feast whenever you please. And the best part? The RV can be cost-effective, and maintenance won't break the bank!

Do keep in mind that building and maintaining an RV is a team effort, so rally your Hive! Though it is not meant to serve as a teleportation portal, your RV can be set as a respawn point, providing you and your Hive with a much-needed refuge to regroup, recharge, and strategize for your next move.
Metas, fasten your belts and take hold of the wheel—the vast world is yours to conquer.

Deviations and S-Vessel
As the Starfall showered the world with stardust, ordinary objects have been transformed into mischievous Deviations that roam freely, wreaking havoc wherever they go. It's up to you, to secure these troublemakers. However, Deviations won't go down without a fight but employ every cunning tactic to breach your security. Stay on high alert as you navigate through a thrilling cat-and-mouse game. Dodge their explosive bombs with lightning reflexes, or go head-to-head with sly cheaters.

You can place your new Deviated friend in an S-Vessel inside your Territory for safekeeping. Unfortunately, however, it's not enough to simply lock up these little troublemakers and forget about them. You also need to take good care of them. Each Deviation is a unique little snowflake, with its own personality and preferences. Light, temperature, and humidity are just the basics. Will your next Deviated roommate be more of an all-night raver or a figurine collector? Go catch one, and find out!

Taking care of Deviations can be exhausting, but keeping them happy has its benefits. Deviations can manipulate the space around them, and if you're careful to always treat your Deviations with the respect they deserve, they will bestow powerful new Territory Effects upon your Camp. Highly secured Deviations will even produce vital resources needed for crafting Whims.
Whilst you're out in the Nalcott wilderness, slaying foes and making a name for yourself, try not to forget about the lil' Deviations waiting for you at home. If you neglect them too much, they may self-destruct, and even smash their S-Vessel in a fit of rage. Think of it like owning a temperamental - and supernatural - new pet.

The Cradle System
Ever wondered about that Cradle that V gifted you? Crafted by Victor ("Dr. Source" as he likes to call himself), your Cradle has been fashioned from a state-of-the-art, ultra-lightweight material, allowing you to stay nimble even on long journeys. The Meta-Human Cradle has also been tailor-made, giving you a perfect fit regardless of size. It's truly your closest companion in this harsh world. As you get used to your Cradle, you'll be able to upgrade your Memetic system, making you stronger, and more capable.
Victor is not a fashion designer, and the Cradle isn't just an accessory. The key features of a Meta-Human's Cradle are the Memetic System, and the Override feature. Memetics serves as the Cradle's database, directly influencing the wearer's thoughts and consciousness. As you explore the world and get stronger, you'll be able to understand and acquire more of these Memetics, enhancing your survival skills. Override, on the other hand, is a way to boost the Cradle's securement capabilities. As you become a better Deviation hunter, your Cradle will evolve and grow, until Override is finally triggered. Use your Cradle to push your limits and gain mastery of the material world!

With a Cradle, even the power of telekinesis can become yours. Once you become sufficiently strong, you can learn to harness the power of Source to move small objects in the space around you. Never again will you miss out on any of those little bits of scrap that are scattered across the Nalcott landscape.
In this Stardust-infested world, Meta-Humans need all the help they can get. In this world, certain things are hidden, invisible to the naked eye. And that's where the Cradle's Spacetime feature comes in. Use Spacetime to transcend human limitations and reveal hidden objects in the environment. From hidden Deviations to elite units and to Hoards - nothing can escape your eagle eye!
