As players (Humans) scoured the map for Deviations that could assist them survive in the apocalyptic wasteland, they found that one of the occasional collectibles, the Hug-in-a-Bowl, had a bug.
Finding the Hug-in-a-Bowl is complex. While some were lucky enough to find it during the beta periods, many were convinced that it had a low drop rate. Even experienced people had trouble finding it in the Iron River and Broken Delta spawns.
Rare items are nothing up-to-date in multiplayer games like Once Human, but this particular Deviation caused enough issues among fans to become a topic of conversation Couple AND Discord community. It’s been a problem since Once Human 1.0 dropped earlier this month, but it turns out there’s a technical glitch that’s preventing it from reaching more players. We asked Once Human creator Starry Studio about Hug-in-a-Bowl and whether it was indeed a occasional drop. The team confirmed that Deviation is bugged and says a fix is coming in an upcoming patch.
“The team has completed its investigation and discovered that the spawn is indeed bugged!” said a Once Human representative. “They have added it to the changelog for an upcoming patch and will fix it.”
There’s no telling exactly when Starry will be able to fix the Hug-in-a-Bowl bug, but we do know that huge update is set to arrive in September. The studio showed off a glimpse of its plans last week, announcing up-to-date PvP and PvE scenarios, map additions, and more. Like any patch, Starry is sure to fix a long list of bugs players have been struggling with, so let’s hope a fix for Hug-in-a-Bowl is coming as well.
Once Human was released just a few weeks ago and has quickly become a favorite among PC gamers. We’re excited to see where it goes, as we liked it enough at launch to give it an 8/10 in our reviewWe said: “Once Human combines simple but solid building and upgrading with some of the best and weirdest creature designs of the year to create a thoroughly enjoyable survival-crafting experience.”
