With the drop of Once Human's Way of Winter scenario, players will have a set of seven new deviants to get their hands on. Among the new arrivals are three Combat Deviants and three Territory Deviants, with just one new Crafting Deviant to catch as you take on quests and explore the wilderness. Each is worth capturing, offering unique abilities and effects to use to your advantage at the height of the PvE scenario.

Way of Winter introduces much more than new deviants, with never-before-seen areas to visit and an all-new temperature mechanic to brave, taking the survival title to a new extreme. Staying alive remains at the top of your to-do list, but keeping warm will now come in at a close second as the two tasks go hand-in-hand. The deviants you catch can offer some help in the matter, bringing useful skills to combat, crafting, and your territory.

Deviations are catchable creatures that help players in combat, crafting, and in territories. Here are all of the known shiny variants & their traits.

Moreover, some deviants are trickier to catch than others, so you may want to work beyond level requirements just to be safe going into dungeons and moving forward with tougher questlines.

How To Use All Way Of Winter Deviants

Deviant Types & Uses

The Way of Winter scenario brings a variety of new deviants to Once Human, each with its own uses, from combat to crafting. Xelray on YouTube covers the bunch and goes into detail about gameplay mechanics. Here's a closer look at deviation uses and the unique effects of all seven, according to GameRant.

DEVIANT

USES & EFFECTS

Ice Pot

Ice Pot is a Crafting Deviant. It creates Sticky Ice Crystals.

Invincible Sun

Invincible Sun is a Combat Deviant. Exploding every three seconds can continuously inflict Burn Damage on enemies.

Hydronaut Fish

Hydronaut Fish is a Territory Deviant. It can collect seawater or run water purification facilities to reliably get fish.

Gazocchio

Gazocchio is a Territory Deviant specializing in protecting your base by attacking suspicious targets. It also produces the Gazocchio tool, which effectively makes Shadow enemies susceptible to damage.

Tar Pudding

Snapshot

Snapshot is a Combat Deviant. It constantly photographs enemies and increases the Weapon damage taken by enemies.

Snowsprite

Snowsprite is a Combat Deviant. It creates fragile ice crystals you can shoot to deal with AoE damage.

These deviants are welcomed alongside other new Once Human features, like puzzles, which can even be used to navigate solutions moving forward. Not only does this freshen things up a bit on the whole, but it also gives players plenty of new content to explore with greater means as they play through the Way of Winter PvE scenario.
