Gadget Deviants are in a weird position in Once Human. Some players swear by them while others completely underestimate them. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the best Gadget Deviants in Once Human and talk about why they shouldn’t be underestimated.
The Best Gadget Deviants in Once Human, Ranked
But first, what makes a good Gadget Deviant? It all comes down to two things: how useful their item is and how difficult they are to acquire. The sum of both of those factors is what makes some Gadget Deviants better than others.
Harveseed: S-Tier
![harveseed](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Harveseed.jpg)
Pros:
- Its item (Living Armor) is useful in every situation
- It produces a significant amount of the resource required to create Living Armor
Cons:
- It’s acquired after defeating the Treant and only by defeating the Treant
- Living armor has a 10-minute cooldown
Harveseed is probably the single most underestimated Deviant in the game, even though it’s easily one of the best Deviants in Once Human. The thing that makes Harveseed so good is that it’s essential for creating Living Armor, which is a drink that serves as a sort of “second life” whenever you drop below 20% HP. It’s essential for PvP and especially effective when soloing bosses.
Space Turner: A-Tier

Pros:
- Easily acquirable through a quest
- Gives you an overwhelming advantage in PvP
Cons:
- Practically useless in PvE, unless your friends are far away from a teleportation tower
- Takes up a Containment Unit
Space Twister is one of the cheesiest items for setting up ambushes in the game. It’s especially useful whenever you get ambushed on a PvP server and have a friend ready to help but they’re too far away. If used right, it can even make its wielder a portable teleportation tower, which is pretty neat.
Frog the Leaper: B-Tier
![Frog the Leaper](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Frog-the-Leaper.jpg)
Pros:
- Easy to acquire
- Can be used to traverse seemingly untraversable terrain
- Can be used to set up ambushes or escape them
Cons:
- The situations in which you have to use Spring Legs are very rare
- Takes up a Containment Unit
Frog the Leaper is one of those Gadget Deviants that you activate just long enough for them to produce enough of their resource and then take out of the Containment Unit. Spring Legs is a pretty cool drink, it can make you jump higher, and… that’s about it. It’s so situational that you don’t even need it half of the time, hence the B-Tier.
Gingerbread House: C-Tier
![Gingerbread House](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Gingerbread-House.jpg)
Pros:
- Can double as a consumable that restores your sanity
- Spawns frequently and is easy to acquire
- Its Transformation Cookies are a cool gimmick for a bit
Cons:
- Frivolous waste of a Containment Chamber
- Its transformation effect is easy to distinguish
There’s probably not a better Deviant for messing around with others quite like the Gingerbread House. Its special item is the Transformation Cookie which turns you into a nearby inanimate object, allowing you to hide away from pursuers or wait in ambush. However, the effect is so obvious that it’s useless in nine out of ten times.
Dreamcatcher: D-Tier
![Dreamcatcher](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/dreamcatcher-1.jpg)
Pros:
- Useful for crowd control
- Abundant resource production
Cons:
- Acquired later in the game after defeating Arachsiam
- Can be easily evaded
Realistically, Dreamcatcher’s item is pretty good for crowd control, especially in tight corridors. The problem with it is that you can see it coming a mile away. Compared to other Gadget items, this one is more offensive. However, instead of giving you an overwhelming advantage, it just takes you out of the fight for a few seconds, and rarely does it produce the desired effect.
Hug-in-a-Bowl: F-Tier
![hug in a bowl](https://www.gameskinny.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/hug-in-a-bowl.jpg)
Pros:
- Easily acquirable
- Can double as a powerful consumable
Cons:
- Waste of a Containment Unit
- Requires you to invest in your cooking skills to be effective
Hug-in-a-Bowl is a weird consumable that doubles as Gadget Deviant. Its whole deal is that it gives you a noodle recipe that can fully restore your sanity. While it’s true that it’s a useful item to have, there are so many alternatives available that you’re effectively wasting a Containment Unit if you keep this thing around. It’s not the worst Deviant in the game but it’s certainly the most useless one.
