There are plenty of Deviants that players can get access to in Once Human. Each Deviant offers a unique ability that you can take advantage of. This can be anything from combat assistance, helping the base or providing you with unique recipes.
The By The Wind Deviant is one such Deviant that you can get. In this guide, we’ll be showing you all the steps you need to follow to obtain it. We’ll also show you how you can use this Deviant in game. Let’s dive in!
How To Get By The Wind Deviant
To get the By The Wind Deviant in Once Human, you will need to go through the following steps:
- Obtain Frontier Pass – Hard by completing Easy Prime War
- Complete a Hard Prime War
- Get a Rating Score of at least 1000
- Open the Stardust’s Advent – Hard III Crate.
Keep in mind that the By The Wind Deviant is not guaranteed to be captured with this method. You only have a chance to get it.
Some players have reported you can also find this Deviant by exploring the map. However, we have not been able to find a reliable spot to capture them in Once Human. Also, you can capture the By The Wind Deviant in PvE Servers only.
Obtainment Method
Starting off, to get the By The Wind Deviant, you will need to join a PvE Server in Once Human. These Deviants are only available in PvE.
After that, you will want to complete a Prime War on the Easy difficulty. Prime Wars are events that appear as huge beacons which are hard to miss on PvE servers. We recommend you keep an eye out for them.
Once you beat the Prime War on Easy, you’ll receive the Frontier Pass – Hard.
With this Frontier Pass – Hard, you will now be able to participate in Prime Wars on the Hard difficulty. So, wait for this event to pop up as well, and make sure you have the Frontier Pass on hand. After that, join the Hard Prime War in Once Human.
Now, your goal is to get a lot of points in this Prime War. You will want to get a Rating Score of at least 1000, so you can get the Gold Crate. The Gold Crate has a chance to drop the By The Wind Deviant.
There are a bunch of actions you can do to increase your Rating Score. Some of these are:
- Offering Healing Support to Allies
- Establishing Defenses, like Turrets
- Damaging the Boss
- Stripping the Shield
Do these actions so that you can get a score of at least 1000 when you’ve completed the Prime War. This will allow you to get the Stardust’s Advent – Hard III Crate, which is the Gold Crate.
Now, all you need to do is to open this Chest in your Inventory. You will have other Chests as rewards too so you can open those as well. We recommend using a Controller on the Gold Chest so that you can increase your chances of getting the Deviant!
The By The Wind Deviant will have a chance to appear in the Gold Crate. It is not guaranteed. After you open the Crate, check your Inventory for the Deviant. If you do not get it, you will need to repeat the steps so that you can get a chance of getting it again.
How To Use
Now that you have the By The Wind Deviant in Once Human, it’s time to see how you can use it. Make sure to put it in an Isolated Securement Unit at your base.
This Deviant is considered a Combat Deviant. You can see the Ability Details below. This Deviant can be used to create a Gravity Lift below you, which allows you to float in the air.
You can create this either by throwing it yourself, or via the Combat Assist mode of the Deviant. In addition, you get +20% Movement Speed, +2 Jump Speed and you become immune to fall damage and stagger.
As you can see below, the Gravity Lift can be used to rise to a huge height. While this height is fixed, it gives you a lot of options in Combat. You can use it to evade enemies or to surprise them!
That’s everything you need to know about getting the By The Wind Deviant in Once Human. It can be quite a useful Deviant in combat. However, you will only be able to access it in PvE Servers.
