Key Takeaways
Don’t exploit or abuse game mechanics; adhere to rules to avoid bans. Combine different faction specializations for optimal gameplay. Avoid toxicity, stick with your faction, and work together to succeed.
With the recent launch of the Prismverse scenario in Once Human, there’s been an influx of PvE players who want to test the waters of the PvP gameplay. What’s more exciting is that the Prismverse scenario is a PvPvE game format.
You might be asking, what’s a PvPvE mode? In short, you’ll be fighting other players during events and monsters simultaneously to secure the exquisite Prism deviations, making teamplay crucial for Deviation securements and completing the event.
Like fellow PvE folks, I’ve been playing the Prismverse with my Warband and brought some tips to help you survive this intense Once Human scenario. Worry not; even if you’re a solo player, these tips will help you.
PvE Setup Won’t Work Here Anymore
As PvE players, we are used to fighting monsters and rarely pay attention to attributes like damage reduction, head damage reduction, and weapon damage reduction. However, PvP features real players as your enemies and has you account for unexpected encounters.
Without a PvP-catered build, your character cannot fight other players. PvE builds are squishy and almost have no damage reduction. That’s why you should focus on Armor sets like the Savior and weapons like D.E. Jaws, whose mod can stagger enemies.
I suggest aiming for more HP and damage reduction with the Cradle perks and mod attributes. You can also use Pristine meat to make food to give more HP boost.

9 Prismverse Exclusive Specializations
Mayfly Exclusives Are The Best!
Whether you’re on the Rosetta or Mayfly faction, you can get specializations from the other faction. There’s no strict rule of thumb that you only have to focus on your faction’s specializations.
I highly recommend combining unique specializations to min-max your gear, drones, and gear. Some Rosetta drones and Mayfly injections are S-tier in combat, while others excel in exploration and reconnaissance.
Assigning roles to hivemates will simplify this process, and you don’t have to be on your own all the time.
Whim Potions like Aero Leap, Chloro-Armor, A Shattered Dimension, and The Weaver can help you in combat.
8 In-Game Rewards and Mitsuko Marks
Spend Cautiously
Seasonal goals reward you with Mistuko marks that can be used to open the cosmetic crate for faction skins. However, each crate costs 2700 Mistuko marks, which free-to-play players cannot afford. I advise buying either the Radiant One statue or the Berserkosaurus Rex one.
Unless you’ve got an abundance of Mitsuko marks, avoid spending them on Gacha. With everyone excited about the Way of Winter scenario, don’t forget you claim your seasonal Starchrome crate with Energy links before jumping to new servers.
7 Guerilla Warfare
Be Sneaky, Stealth Gameplay
Teleporters, also known as impact zones by PvP players, can be camped by any faction. People put Nutcrackers in their territories and build them around the impact zones to kill any opposing faction’s member. And believe me, those Nutcrackers are hard to kill.
I usually wear black clothes and a mask to camouflage in the foliage and evade enemies. With ping spikes, sometimes you’re unable to clutch intense fights, so that’s one way you can sneak up to the Rift anchors in PvP zones.
Stealth gameplay is highly recommended for this scenario since you don’t know what buffs the enemy might have.
6 Level Up Fast
Every Second Counts
The EXP is on steroids. There’s no doubt about it. I won’t be surprised if you cannot hit level 30 in a few hours. You can spam the securement silo EX1 until you reach level 50 in the early phases. With EXP, you’ll also get Acid drops from Deviants, which are required to craft high-tier ammunition and materials.
Focus on clearing the Rift anchors for extra EXP and choose the specializations. Again, the best advice is to be on a team, as your team member’s kills give EXP and count towards the Rift anchor’s exploration objectives.
As you’ll level up, you can unlock more specialization slots to choose overpowered specializations like Oil Processing and Sulfur Chemist.

5 Move As A Unit
Alpha Team, Ready To Move
“Union is strength” is one moral that summarizes the Prismverse scenario. As a PvE player, you must be on a team to explore Rift anchors, puzzles, and other areas.
If you’ve joined the scenario as a solo player, acquaint yourself with like-minded faction mates and go on exploration runs. The best thing is that some weapon buffs are shared among teammates when applied.
For example, the Bullseye effect on an enemy is visible to other teammates, who can easily track down the enemy.
4 Defense Base For Purification
For The Faction
A hive consists of 12 people in the current scenario. I urge you to dedicate a few bases to purify Prism deviation to help the faction. Bases in PvP zones can be raided, looted, and destroyed.
So, the rule of thumb is to have a few bases in the safe zone with upgraded facilities and use them as your primary production and processing base.
You can put 20 Nutcrackers at the base, with defense turrets, traps, and a honey-comb design, and it’ll delay the enemies for a while.
If you’ve brought Deviations like Nutcrackers from the Spacetime backpack, they can be traded only after a week as they’re linked to your inventory.
3 Base Spots Matter
Blackfell Oil Fields For The Win
Currently, there are only three worlds in the Prismverse scenario. With such a massive inflow of players into the servers with only three worlds, prime spots get taken in a few minutes.
Even if you’re a lore enthusiast and a dedicated farmer, your base’s location will play a key role. So, finish the story quest as fast as possible and choose your birth zone carefully.
Once you finish doing that, focus on upgrading your territory to capture more area, as some players don’t let others upgrade their territories by placing their own near them.
You can even choose the Mayfly faction and still build in Rosseta’s safe zone. In short, only the safe zone tag matters.
Place your territory with the T key and press the G key to summon the bike. You don’t need to craft it.
2 Purification, Map, and Seasonal Goals
Win Or Loss, Be A Completionist
The Prism Deviation purification is essential; however, vanilla Territory purification also exists in the current scenario. So, you’re getting decent amount of Starchrome to purchase new weapons in the Way of Winter scenario.
With the map unlocking in stages, some areas remain inaccessible even if you reach the last phase. That means you don’t have access to everything you had in the Manibus or Evolution’s call scenarios.
So, plan accordingly if you want to jump to this server. Collect all the accessories, Deviations, treasure chests, and Morphic crates, and then hop on to the Prismverse servers.
1 PvP exclusive Deviations
Collect Them All
While on the server, you can focus on grabbing PvP-focused Deviants like Pup Buddy, Upper World Spawn, Dr. Teddy, and Mr. Wish. I suggest queuing the Dungeons and Silos on Pro modes to have a better chance of getting Deviations with high Skill or Activity ratings.
Unfortunately, the Masonic Pyramid and the Shiny deviation variants aren’t available on Prismverse servers.
So, you can try to trade a PvE-exclusive Deviation like By-the-wind or Atomic Snail with a PvP player for the Masonic Pyramid Deviation.
As for the exploration, I’ve been using the Mapgenie Interactive Map site for years and recommend the same to hunt for Deviation’s spawn locations.
The Shiny deviations aren’t available on Novice Manibus and Prismverse servers.
