How to get Recurve Crossbow in Once Human

The Recurve Crossbow in Once Human is considered an S-tier weapon, but not because of its damage-dealing capabilities. In fact, it’s rarely used solely for damage. However, it's still an integral part of meta builds like Shrapnel due to its exceptional ability to inflict Bull's Eye on a target after hitting its 'Weakspot', boosting your Crit Rate on all weapons and significantly increasing your damage output.

This guide will cover everything about obtaining the Recurve Crossbow in Once Human, including where to find its blueprint and how to craft it.

How to craft Recurve Crossbow in Once Human

After acquiring the Recurve Crossbow blueprint, you can unlock it by navigating to Blueprint Fragments in the Blueprint menu. Once unlocked, you can craft the crossbow at a Gear Workbench. Depending on your workbench's level, the weapon can be crafted in five tiers, with Tier 1 being the weakest and Tier 5 the strongest.

Crafting the Tier 5 version of the Crossbow requires materials that can only be obtained from endgame areas like Red Sands and Blackfell. However, since you need to reach Red Sands to get the blueprint in the first place, you should be able to craft the Tier 5 Recurve Crossbow immediately after unlocking it.

As this weapon is mainly used for applying the Bull's Eye debuff, its Weapon DMG is less important than the Vulnerability it inflicts. To maximize its effectiveness, equip the Recurve Crossbow with the Vulnerability Amplifier gold mod in Once Human, which significantly increases the power of the debuff on the target. This mod can be acquired from the Normal Monolith of Thirst, Hard and Pro Mirage Monolith, and Pro LEA Research Lab.
