Welcome to our comprehensive guide designed to help players efficiently loot various towns and points of interest (POIs) within the Nalcott map for furniture blueprints in Once Human. By referencing the locations in the provided photos, you can increase your chances of finding the coveted ‘Metal Shelf’ BP. If you find an extra, let me know—I’m still on the hunt for one myself!
Notes on Looting
- Loot Refresh Rate: Loot refreshes every 4 hours starting at 12:00 A.M. (EST).
- Always Be Clicking: Keep pressing the Q button (or your designated Pinging key) to highlight lootable items.
- Learning Blueprints: Be cautious when learning blueprints at the designer workbench. As of now, wallpapers can be learned even if already unlocked, potentially wasting blueprints that could be scrapped.
- Varying Results: The number of blueprint formulas and facilities you find can vary greatly from one run to another.
