Once Human: RaidZone Base Guide and Management Tips
In the unforgiving world of Once Human: RaidZone, survival is not just about scavenging and crafting but also about establishing a reliable base that can protect you from enemies, store your resources, and act as the heart of your progression. Unlike the original Once Human, the Raid Zone version places a heavy emphasis on strategic base construction, especially since the game includes mainly PvP raids. This guide covers everything you need to know about location selection, structural design, defenses, resource management, and long-term upkeep so you can build a stronghold that not only survives but thrives.
How does a Base work in Once Human: RaidZone?
Bases in Once Human serve several important tasks, including a safe zone, crafting hub, and defensive fortress. Every workstation, chest, and crafting bench you install directly affects your survival and advancement. Without a proper base, you are exposed to both environmental hazards and opposing players.
A good foundation is more than just walls and roofs; it is a well-planned system of storage, defense, and accessibility. Because the game features RaidZones, where bases are vulnerable to player attacks, base building is more than a convenience; it is a survival need. A poorly built base can be breached in minutes, whereas a well-defended one can endure hours of planned raids.
Choose the Right Location for your Base
Location is the foundation of every good base. Before you start building, carefully scout different terrains and evaluate them for both defensive and logistical benefits.
High Ground Advantage: Building on elevated terrain gives you better visibility, reduces the number of approach angles for attackers, and makes it harder for enemies to breach walls.
Natural Barriers: Rivers, cliffs, and dense forests provide natural defense lines. These obstacles force raiders to funnel into predictable paths, which you can then reinforce with traps or turrets.
Resource Proximity: Being close to essentials like wood, stone, and metal is crucial for maintenance. Traveling long distances to gather supplies increases risk and wastes time.
Raid Traffic: Some areas are hot zones for raiding, while others are quieter. Beginners should avoid the busiest RaidZones until they’re confident in their defenses. Veterans, however, may prefer the challenge and rewards of contested areas.
Build these Key Essentials First
Each base requires specific stations to access crafting, upgrades, and gear. Here’s what to prioritize, in order of necessity:
- Workbench – Create necessary tools, equipment, and early constructions.
- Modification Bench – Upgrade and alter guns.
- Forge and Smelter – Convert raw ores into construction materials.
- Stove and Refrigerator – Cook and store meals on the stove and in the refrigerator.
- Generator – The generator powers the lights, appliances, and turrets.
- Storage Lockers – Storage lockers allow you to categorize and organize your materials. Place next to the workbenches.
Foundation and Structural Importance
Once you’ve chosen a location, the next step is laying the foundation of your base. Structure planning is about balancing durability, functionality, and expansion potential. In general, players are divided into groups regarding how a base should be built. There are 2 ideas for building bases in RaidZone – Compact or Expansive bases. The former is ideal for solo adventurers who are not as hardcore into the game as other players, while the latter is ideal for teams or squads who want to do activities and exploration together.
Compact Bases: Easier to defend, repair, and manage. Ideal for solo players or small groups.
Expansive Bases: Offer room for more workstations, loot storage, and defensive layers. Better for clans but harder to maintain.
