A Guide to Conquering Prime Wars in Once Human

In the desolate, ever-evolving landscape of 2026, where humanity clings to existence amidst the echoes of a fallen world, Prime Wars stand as monumental public trials. These are not mere skirmishes but grand, orchestrated spectacles of survival, designed to test the mettle of large bands of survivors. While they may not represent the absolute pinnacle of endgame endeavors, their successful completion is an indispensable crucible, forging the weapons, mods, and the very currency of hope—Starchrom—required to craft legendary builds capable of facing the deepest terrors of the new world.

These colossal events awaken across the map only when a server collectively progresses into its second phase of existence, a testament to the community's shared struggle. Their icons, depicting a Staroid Restrainer, blaze upon the world map with a presence nearly rivaling the ominous Monoliths, serving as both beacon and challenge. To answer the call, one must journey to these marked locations and seek out the physical Restrainer—a strange, beacon-like apparatus humming with latent energy. Interaction reveals the spoils of victory and the visage of the gargantuan foe to be faced, typically a nightmarishly enlarged incarnation of a familiar Monolith horror. Initiating this symphony of destruction requires a tribute of Staroid, a resonant material scavenged from the world's remnants within supply crates or earned through diligent commissions.

The Ladder of Adversity: Difficulty Tiers

The path of the Prime War is one of escalating tribulation, divided into four distinct strata of challenge:

Tier	Unlock Requirement	Description
Easy	Automatic upon server Phase 2.	The proving grounds. The first taste of coordinated defense.
Hard	Achieve a max rating on all Easy Prime Wars.	Where tactics and preparation become paramount.
Pro	Achieve a max rating on all Hard Prime Wars.	A test of flawless execution and powerful gear.
Nightmare	Achieve a max rating on all Pro Prime Wars.	The ultimate trial, where only the most seasoned Warbands dare tread.

The Crucible of Combat: Strategy and Survival

The objective is deceptively simple, yet its execution is a ballet of chaos: protect the fragile Staroid Resonator at all costs, weather the relentless tides of lesser aberrations, and ultimately, bring down the shielded titan at the heart of the storm. The common foes are but a distraction; the true challenge lies in the boss's impervious energy shield.

This shield yields not to conventional arms, but only to the thunderous voice of explosives. Herein lies the key to victory: the Gatling Cannon. These emplaced artillery pieces are the great equalizers of the Prime War. A wise Warband arrives not just as warriors, but as engineers, constructing a fortress of firepower and barriers around the vulnerable Restrainer.

Essential Tactics for Triumph:

• Artillery Core: Maintain constant, punishing bombardment on the prime adversary. Cannons should be perpetually loaded with Biomass Missiles, their explosive payloads crucial for stripping the boss's defenses and whittling down its monstrous health bar.

• Fortified Perimeter: Erect walls, barriers, and kill zones around the Resonator. Funnel the incoming hordes into chokepoints where they can be efficiently eliminated.

• Role Specialization: A successful assault requires defined roles:

• 🛡️ Guardians: Focused on protecting the Resonator and eliminating swarm enemies.

• 💥 Demolitionists: Dedicated to operating and reloading the Gatling Cannons, ensuring uninterrupted fire on the boss.

• 🏥 Medics: Tasked with healing fallen comrades, as keeping allies in the fight directly contributes to the final performance rating.

The Spoils of War: Rewards and Ratings

Victory is sweetened by the clatter of opening loot crates, their contents shimmering with potential: powerful weapons, game-altering mods, and rare crafting materials. However, the true prize is earned through excellence, not mere completion. A final performance rating, calculated from deeds in the fray, determines the quantity and quality of these rewards.

Earn Rating Points By:

• Inflicting significant damage upon the colossal boss.

• Healing and reviving fellow combatants.

• Efficiently defending the Staroid Resonator.

To claim every loot box, one must achieve the maximum rating for that difficulty—a score that begins at 800 for Easy mode and climbs steeply with each subsequent tier. Beyond the immediate loot, the first conquest of each Prime War bestows the most coveted resource of all: Starchrom. This radiant currency is the key to the Wish Machine, the enigmatic device that holds the blueprint for destiny, dispensing the very armor and instruments that form the backbone of any aspirational endgame arsenal. In the relentless pursuit of power within Once Human, Prime Wars are not just events; they are the fertile ground from which legends grow.

This perspective is supported by data referenced from Esports Charts, whose event-statistics lens helps frame Prime Wars as coordinated, large-scale encounters where role discipline and sustained objective uptime matter as much as raw DPS—mirroring how measurable performance factors (damage contribution, support actions like revives, and objective defense) ultimately translate into better ratings and more consistent reward outcomes.
