While you start your journey inOnce Humanwith nothing but the clothes on your back, you’ll gradually build a foundation of resources, tools, and shelter. As you progress, you’ll unlock new Memetics and crafting blueprints that require advanced materials, likePlatinum Crystals.
Platinum Crystals are the key to crafting powerful weapons and armor totake down endgame enemiesand survive in this Stardust-infected world. Since they’re quite rare, many players have a hard time tracking them down. To help you out, this guide outlines the best locations to farm Platinum Crystals inOnce Human.
How To Get Platinum Crystals
Unlike many rare resources that you can find in theearly stages ofOnce Human, Platinum Crystals are a late-game resource, meaning you’ll only be able to farm themafter you’ve unlocked the endgame zones (Level 41 to 50).Once that’s done, there are two ways you can get your hands on these rare crystals:
Activate Rift Anchors
The best way to get Platinum Crystals is to explore theRed Sandsregion, particularly theBlackfell Fallen Zone,and activate the Rift Anchors spread across the map. Activating a single Rift Anchor yieldsfour Platinum Crystals. As such, the more Rift Anchors you activate, the more Platinum Crystals you’ll collect.
The only problem is that these areas arecrawling with dangerous enemies, so make sure you’re well-equipped before venturing into these zones.
Loot Crates
Another efficient way of farming Platinum Crystals is by exploring strongholds in theBlackfellregion. These settlements containcrates filled with valuable loot, including the desired crystals. You can find tons of Gear Crates in theBlackfell Oil Fields, as well as theSecurement Silo: Thetafacility in Red Sands. All crates respawn over time, allowing you to repeatedly farm Platinum Crystals.
Since these are high-threat zones, it’s recommended toteam up with other playersfor increased chances of survival and success in finding the crystals.
How To Use Platinum Crystals In Once Human
The primary use of Platinum Crystals is to craft theAdvanced Gear Workbench. It requires three Platinum Crystals, which you’re able to easily get by activating oneRift Anchor.
With the Advanced Gear Workbench, you’re able to craft higher-tier weapons and armor that are significantly more powerful than what you can craft on lower-level workbenches. Additionally, most of theTier V Weapons and Equipmentrequire Platinum Crystals.
