Once Human: Best Specialization & Gold Perks Tier List

The ultimate Specilization & Gold Perks Tier List for both PvP and PvE!

With a lot of features to offer, Once Human is already one of the best survival games out there. You can find several things in the game to help you out during your journey and make your survival easier. One of these features is memetic specializations including gold perks. There are a lot of specializations and gold perks you can get in the game, and each one of them gives precious benefits that can be very useful in your game. However, some of them are better than others, and it is important to know which ones are better than others so you can choose a good one for yourself. So, in this article, we are going to take a look at each one of them.

Feel free to take a look at the table of contents below to see the sections of this guide easily.

Best Specialization & Gold Perks Tier List

Every 5 levels, a Memetic Specialization node will be unlocked, allowing you to choose from four randomly generated specializations. While some of those specializations are gold perks, some of them are not. However, this does not necessarily specify their benefits. Thus, make sure to give other perks a chance too.

Memetic Specializations are classified into four branches: infrastructure, crafting, logistics, and building. On the Memetic Specialization screen, you can reset your Specializations by selecting Specialization Cleaners. Each season allows for the use of up to five specialized cleaners.

We are going to make a tier list for both PvP and PvE servers, so make sure to take a look at the correct tier list based on your server type.

Do you know what could help you along with having good specializations? Having good gear and weapons. Feel free to check out our best weapon and gear crate farm guide as well to get yourself high-quality equipment.

PvP Tier List

PvP refers to the mode when players compete against one another. Thus, you will need to consider this while choosing your specializations. Yet, one thing to consider is that while you are picking the specializations in this list, you will need to think about the other players you are playing with as well.

If you are in a Warband, or if you are playing the game with a group of friends, you might want to pick your specializations accordingly. In a way, you will be sharing specializations and you will be able to help each other out. Thus, you might need to choose your perks by looking at other players’ perks. This one is very important since it would change everything in your Warband.

S Tier

These are the absolute best memetic specializations you can get in the game. However, since the specializations are generated randomly, you might not get them at first. We are going to group them into levels and show you which levels these specializations are available on.

Levels 5-15

These are the specializations you can get between level 5 and level 15. Thus, these specializations are early-game specializations that are best for you to get. So, make sure to try to reset your perks if you do not see one of them in the list.
