Once Human has all sorts of useful deviations that can accompany you in combat for brief moments at a time, and their abilities range from having defensive or offensive utilities. In this guide, we will be showing you a couple of ways on how to get the Mini Wonder deviant, which is more of a defensive option that can help you in both PVE and PVP combat.
How to Get Mini Wonder Deviant
Before I show you the actual method to farm this deviation, you can get a guaranteed one from one of Lowe’s side quests if you have been doing them as you progressed through the levels.
I already got it prior to writing this, but the location it will spawn in for the quest is pretty much the same for everyone, and luckily, you won’t be competing with others for it.
First, you will need to head over to the Forsaken Monolith teleportation tower. If you don’t have it yet, I highly suggest going over there and doing so as you will need to go here around a week from this article’s publication date anyway.
SIDE NOTE: We have a complete guide for all Deviant locations in Once Human, make sure to check it out as well!
From the tower, enter the nearby compound and head over to the stairs to the right. Stop halfway through as you ascend, so you will end up in the area highlighted in the image below.
Up there, you will find a sealed room that requires a Rosetta V2 Access Card. If you have one, feel free to enter this room and take the Mystical crate inside if you haven’t already cleared the area.
After that, directly in front of the door will be a gear crate sitting in the middle of a platform. In the highlighted spot below, which is just to the right from the crate, you should be able to see a Mini Wonder floating there if you have Lowe’s side quest for it.
The screenshot below was taken after finishing Lowe’s side quest, and this should serve as a confirmation that it does not respawn after the task. If you want more of it, you’ll need to do the other method further down the guide.
NOTE: There is a large group of Rosetta enemies, which includes an elite mechanic, directly underneath this platform. You may need to deal with them first as they’ll probably aggro you while you’re making your way up here.
The Actual Way to Farm Mini Wonders
The real method to get a Mini Wonder with a potentially higher level and other traits is by first creating a Synthesis Bench. You will need quite a few ciphers to unlock all the necessary memetics, as you also have to get the node that lets you make Vortex Generators.
With all of the necessary stuff set up, you will need to craft Vortex Generators. Basically, whenever you claim a finished Vortex Generator from a synthesis bench, there is an unknown chance for you to get a Mini Wonder.
Havingan Advanced Synthesis Bench can help speed up the process as it will let you craft two of them at a time. Just be warned that you will need quite a bit of acid and stardust source to make one (or, for the former, to make the explosives required for one).
I cannot possibly guess the odds of getting a Mini Wonder, but based on my testing, it only took me around eight Vortex Generators to finally get one.
I won’t be doing extensive testing for this, unfortunately. Stardust source and acid are incredibly valuable and slow to farm, but if you have a surplus of both, feel free to try and guess the chances yourself.
What Does the Mini Wonder Do?
The Mini Wonder is a defensive deviation that only works against a specific set of enemies. Specifically, it is only beneficial against enemies that use guns, which I assume might also include hostile players.
Basically, when active, the Mini Wonder will hover around the player and absorb bullets while also reloading your weapon from your ammo reserve whenever its effect is triggered.
From what I’ve seen, enemies seem to just straight up only shoot the Mini Wonder while it’s flying beside you. I can also confirm that deviants with ranged attacks do not care and will continue hitting you like normal.
Overall, it has a very niche use and may be worth it if you’re using something like a machine gun or anything with a high ammo capacity while essentially tanking tons of Rosetta soldiers (or maybe Vultures) at once. Other than that, you might be better off with a different combat deviant for PVE.
That is pretty much everything you need to know when it comes to finding the Mini Wonder and what it can do. While you’re here, consider checking out our guide on how to get the pyro dino deviant in Once Human to farm for another combat companion that might be more fit for your build.
