All Memetic Specializations in Once Human and the best ones to pick

In Once Human, you'll have several options when picking Memetic Specializations, some of which are better than others. When you hit certain level thresholds, like level 10, 15, or 20, for example, you'll be able to pick a random one. The one you pick can have a great impact on your gameplay, so it's important to know which are best for your style of play.

Memetic Specializations often affect things like stats, drop rates, and abilities. Some may affect your ability to gather resources in Once Human, or how much of a certain loot item drops from enemies. The more rare specializations may even affect how much of a certain item you can carry or how much capacity your bag has.

In this guide, we'll tell you the best Memetic Specializations to pick.

The best Memetic Specialization in Once Human will depend on what gameplay you find most fun and what you spend the most time doing. If you spend the majority of your time in combat, your best choices may be different than someone who likes building bases.

Your choices can also be influenced by how you intend to help out your teammates if you play with friends in Once Human. If there are certain tasks you want to complete to contribute to your Warband, or resources you want to provide, you should pick accordingly. Some of these choices will make you much more efficient at gathering certain things or crafting specific items.

Below is a list of every Memetic Specialization currently in the game and their effects. Note that if you want to see all of your choices available at once in-game, you can wait to pick any specializations until max level in Once Human.
