Best Weapons in Once Human Way Of Winter
In the game ‘Once Human: Way of Winter,’ there are many different weapons, each with its own special abilities. Some are better for close combat, while others are better for long-range attacks. Here’s a list of the best weapons in the game.
5. M416 – Scorched Earth
The M416 – Scorched Earth works really well with gear sets that focus on elemental damage, like the Shelterer and Blackstone sets. However, using this gun in cold weather can be dangerous, as it can drain your health. To combat this, you can equip the Burn mod, which heals you every time you kill an enemy.
| Rarity | Fine |
| Blueprint | Juggernaut |
| DMG | 26 |
| Fire Rate | 750 |
| MAG | 36 |
| Crit Rate% | 6 |
| Weak Spot Damage% | 60 |
| Crit Damage% | 27 |
The M416 – Scorched Earth has a 12% chance to set enemies on fire when you hit them. The damage from this fire increases by 10% each time it’s triggered.
4. M416 – Autumn Equinox
The Autumn Equinox rifle’s Fortress Warfare ability has a more noticeable effect now. You can easily see the area where you’ll get healed, and it’s easier to stay inside. Because this gun shoots very quickly, you won’t have to worry about not being able to activate Fortress Warfare. The gun rewards you for keeping your health high, which is great for PvE (player versus environment) battles. You don’t need to worry about using special skills to reduce damage, which is common in PvP (player versus player) battles.
| Rarity | Epic |
| Blueprint | Beyonder |
| DMG | 30 |
| Fire Rate | 750 |
| MAG | 36 |
| Crit Rate% | 6 |
| Weak Spot Damage% | 60 |

The M416 – Autumn Equinox rifle has a special ability called Fortress Warfare. After hitting an enemy 7 times, it activates, creating a protective zone around you that lasts for 15 seconds. While inside this zone, you recover health quickly and your weapon damage is increased by 25%.
3. ACS12 – Pyroclasm Starter
The Pyroclasm Starter shotgun gets stronger when you reload it. It’s best used for close and medium-range combat, but it can be difficult to hit targets from far away.
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Blueprint | Juggernaut |
| DMG | 36 x 5 |
| Fire Rate | 180 |
| MAG | 18 |
| Crit Rate% | 8 |
| Weak Spot Damage% | 15 |
| Crit Damage% | 27 |
The ACS12 – Pyroclasm Starter shotgun has a special ability called Charge. Every time you shoot, there’s a chance it will trigger two effects: Burn and Charge. Burn sets enemies on fire, while Charge builds up a special meter.
When you reload, you can spend all your Charge to activate Dragon’s Breath. This makes your shots deal fire damage that’s even stronger than normal. The more Charge you spend, the stronger the fire damage will be.
2. MG4 – Conflicting Memories
The MG4 – Conflicting Memories machine gun is best used for close-range combat. Its special ability, Shrapnel, activates after hitting an enemy 12 times. To make Shrapnel stronger, you need to increase your magazine size. However, this gun is not very good at hitting targets from far away, and it can be difficult to control when you shoot a lot of bullets.
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Blueprint | Beyonder |
| DMG | 32 |
| Fire Rate | 700 |
| MAG | 75 |
| Crit Rate% | 8 |
| Weak Spot Damage% | 35 |
| Crit Damage% | 30 |
The MG4 – Conflicting Memories machine gun has a special ability called Shrapnel. After hitting an enemy 12 times, it fires a burst of shrapnel that can hit multiple targets at once. The more bullets your magazine can hold, the more targets Shrapnel can hit. Plus, the larger your magazine, the more damage Shrapnel does.
1. M416 – Silent Anabasis
The M416 – Silent Anabasis rifle is a great weapon for dealing with groups of enemies. Its Frost Vortex ability can slow down and damage multiple enemies at once, which is very useful in difficult areas like the Zone of Haze or LEA Research Lab.
| Rarity | Legendary |
| Blueprint | Wanderer |
| DMG | 33 |
| Fire Rate | 750 |
| MAG | 36 |
| Crit Rate% | 6 |
| Weak Spot Damage% | 60 |
| Crit Damage% | 27 |
The M416 – Silent Anabasis rifle has a special ability called Frost Vortex. Every 10 shots, there’s a chance a Frost Vortex will activate. When this happens, hitting an enemy with the Vortex creates an ice crystal that lasts for 15 seconds.
These ice crystals are dangerous. If they break naturally after 15 seconds, they explode, dealing frost damage to nearby enemies. But you can make them explode early by shooting them, which does even more damage. There’s another cool effect. Every time you shatter an ice crystal, you get a power boost for 10 seconds. This boost makes your frost damage stronger, and it gets even stronger the more crystals you shatter. You can stack this boost up to 15 times.
These weapons truly enhance gameplay in the “Once Human: Way of Winter” environment. Though each weapon has its own offered advantage, they will be necessary for surviving and winning in the game. Used well, they may bring effective strategy and win battles.
