How To Get Rubber

A rubber in Once Human, processed by disassembling various items.

Unfortunately, unlike many other materials in Once Human, rubber cannot be directly looted from the environment. The only way to get Rubber is by breaking down scrap items at the Disassembly Bench.

Thankfully, you can begin your rubber hunt from Dayton Wetlands, the starting area in Once Human. This area is packed with towns, factories, and abandoned settlements, all of which contain chests and crates you can loot. Some of the best spots to farm Rubber are Dayton Hospital, Brookham Guardhouse, and Overlook Town.

Besides this, you can explore areas in Iron River, especially around the East Blackfell Junction and Securement Silo: Phi zones to find crates and chests that drop random scraps. Loot everything you can find and pick up as many items as possible to maximize your Rubber yield.

Examples of scrap items that yield Rubber when disassembled include

Basketballs
Footballs
Leather Shoes
Gloves
Baby Bottles
Luxury Watch
Smart Drone
Children’s Craft Box
Electric Iron

Loot crates and storage chests respawn every four hours, meaning you can repeatedly farm the same areas for fresh supplies.

How To Use Rubber

Rubber is also used to

, like metal frames, tires, engines, and oil tanks. On average, you’ll need about 45 to 90 Rubber to craft Tier I to Tier V motorcycles.

Another interesting use of Rubber is to craft the Activator, a consumable that cures your meta-human and restores +50% HP. You will also need 15 Rubber to build the Intermediate Supplies Workbench, and 10 Rubber for the Advanced Supplies Workbench, both of which let you craft more items and consumables than the basic one.
