How to gain or lose weight in Once Human – Sportskeeda

One of the many immersive mechanics in Once Human is the ability to gain or lose weight organically. Buried beneath a complex web of mechanics, the nourishment system in this game feeds into a weight class mechanic the game does not tell you about. Naturally, much like in real life, you can tuck on a few pounds without knowing about this invisible meter.

Thankfully, losing weight in Once Human is much easier than in real life. In this guide, we will go over how.

The easiest way to lose weight in Once Human is to eat food that will give you the Gastric Discomfort debuff. Simply hunting some deer and eating the uncooked meat will induce this effect, for example. Other methods include directly drinking dirty water without boiling it or eating spoiled food.

As long as you have this debuff, you will gradually lose weight. However, the weight loss is a mere side-effect of the real penalty - which is decreased maximum HP. Thankfully, you can also cure Gastric Discomfort by crafting Antibiotics from the Supplies workbench.

If you're in a PvP server and want a less risk-averse way of losing weight in Once Human, you can resort to food that has the 'Weight Watchers' buff, including Fat-burning Juice.

To gain weight in Once Human, all you have to do is eat food items tagged with Muscle-building. These are most food items cooked with Corn Oil, such as Fish and Chips. These are pretty advanced recipes that require some Memetic Point investments into cooking perks, though.

An alternative method is getting the Extradimensional Cat Deviant companion. Sleeping with this companion equipped will cause you to gain weight at quite a rapid rate.

Why would you want to gain or lose weight? To make better use of the game's player weight mechanic. You are assigned a weight class during the character creation stage of Once Human depending on your 'Fitness' slider.

The gist of the mechanic is that each weight class incentivizes specific gameplay approaches with buffs and debuffs.

Generally, you want to stay in the moderate weight class to get the best buffs. This is why you will eventually have to resort to one of these methods to manipulate your way past the character creation menu.
