What Is Power Surge in Once Human?

The Power Surge mechanic consists of Continuous Debuff and Instant Damage. The official description is that it deals with Status DMG of 50% Psi Intensity once and inflicts Power Surge stats for 6s (Accuracy -40). In addition, it is of Shock Element type, which cannot Crit, strike Weakspots, or will not decay with distance. Here’s the official formula for Power Surge: Actual Factor = 50% x (1+Power Surge DMG Factor Bonus) x (1+Power Surge Final DMG Bonsu).

The Best MPS7 Outer Space Power Surge Build in Once Human

Here is the best Power Surge build in Once Human:

• MPS7 – Outer Space (You can use the SOCR – Outsider until you can unlock this gun, but keep in mind that the MPS7 is hands down better for Power Surge in both PvE and PvP)
  • Mod: Surge Amplifier for PvP/Static Shock for PvE/Shock Rampage for both.
    • You’ll want to pick the mod for this weapon based on whether you are doing PvP or PvE or want a mod that’ll be less effective but viable for both.
• Mayfly Googles
  • Mod: Fateful Strike or Deviation Master
    • The Fateful Strike mod will shoot slower but do more damage, while the Deviation Mast mod will shoot faster but do less damage. It depends on what you like and if you can only get a gold mod in one of the two.
• Scout Mask (You can use the Falcon Mask until you get this)
  • Mod: Thunderclap:
    • This mod will damage 200% Psi intensity every time you trigger 20 Power Surges. However, paired with the Mayfly Goggles, you only need to activate it ten times. You can get this mod at Silo EX1.
• Shelter Gloves (You can use the Falcon Gloves until you get these gloves)
  • Mod: Crit Amplifier
    • This mod will increase the Crit Rate and Crit Damage. You’ll want to look for Attribute Effects of Damage against normal, elite, or Great ones and Status Damage to make it more effective.
• Heavy Duty Shoes
  • Mod: Covered Advanced
    • There aren’t any better Shoe mods for this build, so this is the best and easiest mod to use. You can find this mod at Silo Phi.
• Heavy Duty Top
  • Mod: Flame Resonance
    • This mod will provide additional Status Damage. You can get this mod by looting crates in the Iron River region or Silo Sigma.
• Shelterer Pants (You can use Falcon Pants until you get these pants)
  • Mod: Bullet Siphon
    • This mod increases weapon damage for every five bullets consumed in your gun’s magazine. This mod is better than most because it doesn’t rely on reloading at a specific time.
• Cradle: Here are the critical Cradle Override skills that work with the Shrapnel and Marked mechanics, as well as create a great synergy with your equipped gear mods:
  • Automatic Weapon Enhancement
  • Long-Range Enhancement
  • Deviation Master (You can also use Agility if you don’t like deploying your Deviant)
  • Tactical Combo
  • Status Enhancement
  • Sprint
  • First Round Blast
  • Transient Impact
• Deviation: Festering Gel or Lonewolf’s Whisper
  • Festering Gel provides increased survivability, whereas Lonewolf’s Whisper provides additional damage. Feel free to decide which Deviant to use based on what you will be fighting.
