In Once Human, Deviated Peppercorn is a key ingredient that can make your farming runs a lot more rewarding. If you are looking to increase your Acid gains or just want more cooking options, getting your hands on this item is worth the effort. In this guide, we will tell you how to get Deviated Peppercorn and what you can do with it.
How to Get Deviated Peppercorn
You can buy Peppercorn from Lacey, the merchant in Blackfell (in the Red Sands region), for 50 Energy Links each. Lacey only sells up to 3 Peppercorns a day, but this is by far the easiest and most reliable way to get this important spice. You can safely get there by sticking to the main roads and using a vehicle to avoid running into tough enemies.
You might also come across Peppercorns or Peppercorn Seeds in random loot crates around different zones, but this method is very hit-or-miss since the drops are completely random. If you don’t feel like spending hours searching every corner, just buy them from Lacey as it is so much simpler.
Start a little Peppercorn farm of your own. Plant Peppercorn Seeds in Planter Boxes or Loamy Soil, and once they grow, you will have a regular source of Peppercorns without the daily limits. You can also buy Peppercorn Seeds from Lacey for 1,000 Energy Links each, with a weekly limit of 3. It is a great way to get your farm going and keep your pantry stocked with spice for all your cooking adventures.
How to Use Deviated Peppercorn
In Once Human, you can unlock Preserved Deviated Chops by activating the Dishes III node under the Logistics tab in Memetics. These delicious snacks give you a 50% boost to Acid gained from Deviant enemies, which makes farming Acid so much faster and easier. To make them, just head to a Stove and cook them up. Once you have a stack ready, taking down Deviants will be rewarding.
