You’ll likely know of Deviants and Deviations as the enemies that lurk around every corner in Once Human ’s post-apocalyptic, open-world. Though, while you run into brainless, hostile Deviants most of the time, there are plenty of friendly ones that you can attempt to secure and take back home with you.

These non-hostile Deviants can be stored at your base and will offer various perks. Many can aid you in combat, others will farm for you, some of them are simply fun to have around. To help you track down the best Once Human Deviants , here are all the Deviants present in the game right now and their abilities.

Best Once Human Deviants: All friendly Deviant abilities

Below, we have listed all known friendly Deviants in Once Human right now. For some of the named locations for these Deviants, the Deviant is not necessarily a guaranteed drop and may take a few attempts to acquire.

For example, Mr. Wish can be unlocked by completing the Securement Silo Sigma, but he isn’t guaranteed to appear and it may take a few attempts to get him. Other Deviants can be found just hanging out in the wild, or can be drops from various in-game events or quests.

There are also a few more Deviants present in Once Human than are listed below. We have chosen to omit a few as we don’t yet know what they do, or where to find them.

Some of the below table was filled in with help from YouTuber, Glitchiz , who has put together a very useful Deviant Checklist . Note that this checklist is from the last beta, however.
