How to gain levels in Once Human

Here are all the activities that can help you reach the maximum level in Once Human:

• Crafting: Crafting any item provides EXP in the game.
• Killing enemies: Defeating enemies and bosses is one of the best ways to gain levels in Once Human.
• Quests: Progressing through the main story, side quests, and area quests also provides a significant amount of EXP.
• Journey achievements: You can also acquire a lot of EXP by completing achievements in the Journey system. While they initially overlap with your primary objectives of crafting various items and progressing through the main story, there are many achievements related to doing completely random activities in the world. These include taking a picture of a deer, adding someone to your friend list, or even changing the color of your vehicle.
