Once Human is a survival MMO that takes place in a supernatural world. To ensure your character maintains their health and continues to survive throughout your adventures, you will need to locate crates to scavenge items, gear, and weapons.

While storage crates are a pretty common find and will provide you with a few materials, weapon crates and gear crates enable you to acquire more valuable loot and weapons to defend yourself and your friends, as well as progress through quests and the leveling system. For this reason, knowing how to acquire weapons and gear crates in Once Human can come in handy.

How to Get Weapon Crates & Gear Crates in Once Human

In Once Human, weapon crates and gear crates can be acquired from specific points throughout the world that you have selected - though they are much more likely to be found near buildings or structures rather than out in the wilderness.

In fact, weapon and gear crates become an important resource to consider seeking out from the very first area in which you begin the game, with a couple of them being up for grabs in Dayton Wetlands' Overlook Town area during the Welcome Back questline. When trying to locate these beneficial item drops, be sure to check around corners, behind larger objects, and pretty much anywhere you could suspect something to be hiding. Weapon crates and gear crates will be somewhat easily identifiable once you're nearby, as they tend to have a glowing yellow outline that makes them stand out in the environment.

Luckily, for players who need some extra assistance in seeking out the locations in which weapon and gear crates tend to be found, there is a live Once Human map by Mapgenie.io, with markers to indicate the various threats, quests, Teleportation Towers, and lootable item drops in each region. By filtering this map to only show the weapon crates and gear crate markers, players will be presented with many markers indicating the location of these spawn points.

You can use this to plan out a course to try and speedrun, farming as many of these lootable item drops as possible. By targeting areas close to either your home base, or the current quests or objectives you are undertaking, you will be able to gain even more materials, weapons, and resources, ensuring you get as much out of your trip as possible. If you are playing with a Hive or Warband of friends, then it could even be possible to even work together in pinpointing these locations, making the task of tracking down the loot much easier than if you were exploring everything solo.
