The DB12 – Backfire stands out as an epic-grade weapon from the Shotgun family. Boasting a base damage of 49×5, a fire rate of 105, and a magazine capacity of 12, this shotgun is a formidable choice on the battlefield. Its unique "Frost Vortex" ability sets it apart, creating an AOE within a 4.5m radius to ensnare enemies and inflict 30% Psi Intensity Status Damage per second for 4 seconds. Furthermore, the DB12 – Backfire comes equipped with multiple passive abilities that activate under specific conditions:

  • Trigger Frost Vortex by hitting an enemy 5 times.
  • After hitting enemies within the Frost Vortex once, they will be Frozen for 3 seconds (with a 4-second cooldown, and cannot be frozen again during this period).
  • When striking Frozen enemies, gain a 60% damage boost.

For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Once Human on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, coupled with the precision of a keyboard and mouse. This setup promises smoother gameplay and a more immersive dive into the post-apocalyptic world of Once Human.
