The Falcon Set Guide: Hunting Late-Game Blueprint Fragments in Once Human's Red Sands

In the desolate, horror-infused world of Once Human, survival is not just about enduring the elements and monstrous threats. It's about evolving, adapting, and mastering the tools of a new age. For Meta-humans seeking to push their capabilities to the limit, the pursuit of specialized armor sets becomes a defining journey. Among these coveted end-game prizes is the Falcon Set, an armor configuration that whispers promises of devastating critical strikes and boundless stamina, a perfect union for those who live by the creed of the decisive, powerful blow. This is not merely gear; it's a statement of intent, a build-defining cornerstone found only in the most treacherous corners of the wasteland.

The Prize: Understanding the Falcon Set

Before embarking on the perilous hunt, one must understand the reward. The Falcon Set is not your average protective wear. As a late-game armor set, it specializes in two key areas that synergize beautifully for aggressive, high-risk playstyles:

Crit Damage Boost: This is the set's primary identity. It significantly amplifies the damage of your critical hits.
Stamina Enhancement: It provides substantial boosts to your stamina pool and regeneration, allowing for more evasive maneuvers, sustained sprints, and repeated powerful attacks.

This combination makes it the ideal choice for players wielding weapons or modifications with high critical hit rates. It transforms a lucky strike into a calculated execution. However, such power is not given freely; it must be forged from fragments scattered across a land known as the Red Sands.

The Hunting Grounds: Red Sands Region

The blueprint fragments for the Falcon Set are exclusively housed within Mystical Crates located in the Red Sands, a high-level area teeming with enemies level 40 and above. This is no place for the unprepared. The region is a mosaic of industrial decay and anomalous research, holding three key settlements where the fragments lie in wait.

The three settlements are:

Blackfell Fallen Zone
Blackfell Oil Fields
Alternate Reality Research Lab

A word of caution: venturing into these areas solo while under-leveled is a recipe for a swift demise. The environmental hazards are as deadly as the foes. Both the Blackfell Fallen Zone and the Blackfell Oil Fields are plagued by extremely high pollution levels around the crate sites. Without high-tier protective gear, a Meta-human's Sanity will plummet rapidly. Furthermore, Elite enemies stand as silent, formidable guardians over these precious caches. Bringing a trusted ally or two is not just recommended; it's often the difference between success and starting over from a respawn point.

Location 1: Blackfell Fallen Zone

The first fragment cache rests in an urban graveyard. The Mystical Crate here is perched atop a large concrete plaza building, a structure with a parking garage below and remnants of commerce above.

The Path & The Peril:

Approach from the southern side of the building where a staircase ascends from the sidewalk.
Climb the stairs and immediately turn left. Your progress will be blocked by a Weather Forecast Elite enemy, a formidable guardian that must be dealt with first.
Once the area is secure, the Mystical Crate sits openly in the center of the rooftop plaza.

The Reward: Inside this crate, you will find 30 Falcon Set Blueprint Fragments. One-third of the journey is complete, but the pollution here is intense—monitor your Sanity closely.

Location 2: Blackfell Oil Fields

The second fragment stash requires a mix of combat readiness and parkour skill. This crate is located on a metal platform attached to a massive silo on the far eastern edge of the oil fields.

The Path & The Peril:

The most straightforward route involves a nearby "cabinet" structure north of the silo. Climb it to reach the top of a ventilation unit.
From there, leap to a network of pipes. Follow these pipes to the right, then right again, positioning yourself opposite the crate's platform.
Execute a well-timed jump and deploy your paraglider. With precise aim, you should just be able to grab the yellow railing of the platform and pull yourself up.
An alternative, longer route involves finding stairs and walkways that lead to a larger pipe system, allowing you to run and drop down onto the silo.

The Reward: Successfully navigating this industrial jungle gym yields another 30 Falcon Set Blueprint Fragments. Remember, the ambient pollution in this area is also dangerously high.

Location 3: Alternate Reality Research Lab

The final and most dangerous fragment repository lies within the heart of a Rosetta stronghold. The Alternate Reality Research Lab is a labyrinth of science and hostility, and its Mystical Crate is the most heavily guarded.

The Path & The Peril:

Enter the facility from the south, descending a flight of stairs into the entryway of a large glass building. Clear the initial Rosetta soldiers.
Inside, locate the central glass tower adorned with multiple TV screens. This is your key to descent.
You must jump from the higher floors, using the narrow gap between the floor and the tower to paraglide down to a lower level. Be prepared for a brutal fight.
The room containing the crate is guarded by a deadly ensemble: a Rosetta Heavy, two Rosetta Crushers, and several Rosetta Soldiers. Coordination and firepower are essential here.
Once the guards are eliminated, claim your prize from the Mystical Crate, which conveniently shares a room with a respawning Weapon Crate.

The Reward: This hard-fought victory grants you the final 30 Falcon Set Blueprint Fragments. With all 90 fragments in hand, the blueprint can finally be assembled.

Forging Your Legend: Crafting the Falcon Set

The hunt is over, but the work is not. With 90 fragments collected, a new menu option unlocks in your inventory under Armor Blueprints. Here, you can finally assemble the complete schematic for the Falcon Set.

The Crafting Process:

Assemble the Blueprint: In your inventory, use the fragments to craft the Falcon Set Blueprint.
Visit the Gear Bench: Interact with a Gear Bench and press the appropriate key (typically 'G') to open the crafting menu.
Select and Craft: Find the Falcon Set pieces in the menu. Like all gear in Once Human, you can craft them from Tier I to Tier V. The choice is crucial:

Tier	Quality	HP / Gear Score / Durability	Resource Cost
Tier I	Basic	Lowest	Low
Tier III	Improved	Moderate	Medium
Tier V	Superior	Highest	High

A vital piece of Meta-human wisdom: Armor set bonuses max out at four pieces. Wearing a fifth or sixth piece of the Falcon Set will not grant additional passive effects. The optimal strategy is to wear four pieces of the Falcon Set to activate its powerful Crit Damage and Stamina bonuses, then fill the remaining two armor slots with pieces from another set that complements your build, such as one focusing on healing, elemental resistance, or specific weapon damage.

In 2026, the wastelands of Once Human remain a brutal proving ground. The Falcon Set stands as a testament to a player's skill, perseverance, and strategic thinking. From the polluted ruins of Blackfell to the high-tech horrors of the Research Lab, the path to obtaining it is a saga in itself. For those who succeed, the reward is the unparalleled thrill of landing a critical hit that echoes across the Red Sands, a defining moment made possible by the wings of the Falcon. 🦅⚔️
