Once Human 3.0.2 Presets and Item Lock Guide

Once Human Version 3.0.2, released through the July 22, 2026 maintenance, adds two quality-of-life systems that can save players time and prevent expensive mistakes: account-level appearance preset sharing and Item Lock.

Appearance presets saved by existing characters on the same account are automatically added to a shared list after the first login following the update. Characters of the same gender can use shared appearance preset data. Item Lock protects important inventory objects from destructive actions, including discarding, dismantling, selling, fusing, using them as enhancement material, and dropping them after death.

These systems look simple, but careless setup can create confusion. Presets may be merged from several characters, locked items may remain unavailable for intentional crafting, and players may assume an item is protected without verifying the lock icon. This guide provides a clean post-update setup.

When each existing character logs in for the first time after the update, previously saved appearance presets are automatically added to the shared account list.

Log into every active character once. Do not assume a character's data merged before that character completed its first post-update login.

Open the appearance preset menu and inspect the shared list. Look for duplicate names, similar faces, outdated tests, and presets belonging to the same character.

Do not delete anything immediately. Confirm which character created each preset and whether another character still depends on it.

The shared list allows characters on the same account to access appearance data, subject to the current gender rule. Presets are shared between characters of the same gender.

A preset does not automatically replace the current appearance. It becomes available as saved data that can be selected through the relevant customization interface.

Check whether applying a preset requires a current appearance-change item, currency, or confirmation. Previous quality-of-life changes may allow switching between saved presets without repeated token cost, but players should read the live confirmation screen.

A shared preset carries appearance information, not character progression, equipment, cosmetics ownership, or scenario data.

Clean the Shared Preset Library

Use a naming system after the automatic merge. A useful format includes character, style, date, and version, such as Main-Freckles-Jul2026 or Alt-ShortHair-3.0.2.

Keep one untouched backup of important appearances. Create a copy before experimenting with new sliders.

Delete only clear duplicates after comparing the face from several angles and lighting conditions. Two presets with similar names can contain small differences.

If the game provides sharing codes or export data, store the code with a matching screenshot. Do not post a personal account identifier when sharing a visual preset.

The update specifies same-gender sharing. A preset built for one gender may not be directly applicable to a character using another gender model.

Do not assume the interface will convert all facial and body settings. Check preview availability and any warning shown by the game.

Players maintaining characters of different genders should organize separate preset groups. Use names that identify the intended model.

If an option appears unavailable, confirm the character gender and preset origin before reporting a bug.

Appearance Preset Safety Checklist

Step	Action	Risk prevented
1	Log into every character once after update	Missing automatic merge
2	Open shared preset list	Unnoticed duplicates or missing data
3	Rename important presets	Applying the wrong appearance
4	Keep one untouched backup	Losing a favorite design during editing
5	Preview before applying	Unexpected model or slider result
6	Read cost confirmation	Spending appearance currency accidentally
7	Save a screenshot or share code	Losing external reference data

Perform these steps before creating many new presets.

What Item Lock Protects

A locked item cannot be discarded, dismantled, sold, fused, consumed as enhancement material, or dropped after death according to the update announcement.

This is especially valuable for rare weapon builds, armor with important mods or calibrations, alternate loadout pieces, collectibles, and equipment reserved for another scenario.

The system does not replace account security. A locked item may still be subject to game systems not listed in the announcement, so read any confirmation before transfer or conversion.

The purpose is to prevent accidental destructive action, not to make equipment universally permanent.

How to Lock Items on PC

On PC, the update allows players to click the Lock or Unlock button at the bottom-left of an item's tooltip.

Open the backpack, select the target item, and locate the lock control. Activate it and confirm that a lock icon or state appears.

Close and reopen the item tooltip. Verify that the locked state persists.

Test with one low-value object before processing important equipment. Attempt to select it in a destructive menu and confirm the game blocks the action.

How to Lock Items on Mobile

On mobile, open the item's three-dot menu and select Lock or Unlock.

Because smaller screens can hide status details, return to the inventory grid and check the lock marker.

Avoid rapid tapping through menus. Locking is most useful when the player can verify each object.

If the option is missing, update the client, restart, and confirm the selected object type supports Item Lock.

Build a Locking Priority List

Start with irreplaceable or expensive items:

Best calibrated weapons.
Armor used in core builds.
Rare mods and high-value equipment.
Alternate loadout pieces stored for another activity.
Collectibles or event items that appear in inventory.
Expensive enhancement candidates that should not be consumed.

Do not lock every common item. Excessive locking makes intentional crafting and inventory cleanup slower.

Use Item Lock as a curated protection layer.

Protecting Weapons

Lock the weapon after final calibration, mod setup, and attachment decisions. Also lock temporary alternate weapons that belong to saved build presets.

A weapon can look similar to a disposable copy. Compare tier, stars, calibration, attributes, durability, and mods before deciding which one to protect.

If the account keeps several copies, rename presets or use storage organization to distinguish them.

Before a large dismantling session, filter for unlocked items and inspect the remaining list.

Protecting Armor and Build Sets

Armor pieces can be accidentally consumed or dismantled when several sets share an icon. Lock every piece used by an active build.

Review saved build presets and match each equipment slot to inventory. A piece that is not currently equipped may still be essential to another preset.

Lock rare attribute combinations even when they are not yet upgraded. Future balance changes can make a stored item valuable.

After changing a build, do not immediately unlock the old set. Wait until the new setup has been tested.

Enhancement Material Protection

Item Lock prevents protected objects from being used as enhancement material. This is valuable during bulk enhancement, where a fast selection can consume the wrong item.

Before enhancing, lock everything that must survive. Then review the automatic material selection.

If a locked item is needed intentionally, unlock only that object, complete the action, and relock the result if appropriate.

Do not disable protection across an entire category simply to save a few clicks.

Selling, Dismantling, and Fusing

Large cleanup sessions are the highest-risk moment. Use filters, sort by rarity and level, and process small groups.

A locked item should be excluded or blocked from selling, dismantling, and fusing. Confirm the warning behavior once.

Do not treat the lock as permission to ignore the confirmation list. Bugs, unsupported item types, or manual unlocking can still create mistakes.

After processing a batch, verify important storage before beginning another.

Death-Drop Protection

The announcement states that locked items will not be dropped after death. This can protect important objects in modes where inventory loss applies.

Do not assume every carried object becomes risk-free. Confirm the exact mode rules, containers, equipped gear behavior, and whether special loot categories support locking.

Locking should be part of deployment preparation, not a replacement for understanding loss systems.

Before entering RaidZone or another high-risk activity, inspect lock icons on critical items.

Inventory Workflow After the Update

Create four categories: active build, protected reserve, consumable resources, and disposable loot.

Lock the first two categories. Leave consumable and disposable items unlocked unless they are rare or reserved for a plan.

At the end of each session, move new valuable items into protected storage and apply locks. Do not wait for the next large cleanup.

Once per week, audit locked items and remove protection from objects that are genuinely obsolete.

What to Do if a Locked Item Cannot Be Used

A protection system can block intentional actions. If an item cannot be enhanced, sold, fused, transferred through a supported process, or selected as material, check the lock state first.

Unlock only through the official item menu. Complete the intended operation and verify the resulting item.

If the item remains blocked after unlocking, restart the client and check other restrictions such as equipped status, preset use, scenario rules, or storage location.

Do not repeatedly move or dismantle surrounding items while the cause is unclear.

Missing Lock Icon or State

Confirm Version 3.0.2 or later. Restart after the update and inspect another supported item.

On PC, check the lower-left tooltip area. On mobile, check the three-dot menu.

The selected item type may not support locking. Compare with a standard weapon or armor item.

If the lock disappears after relogging, save before-and-after screenshots and report the issue through official feedback.

Appearance Presets and Item Lock Together

The two systems serve different purposes but support one account-organization routine.

Appearance presets protect character design data. Item Lock protects inventory assets. Neither automatically backs up the other.

After organizing presets, review equipment associated with each character or build and lock the important pieces.

Use matching names for visual presets and loadout notes when possible. This makes multi-character accounts easier to manage.

Other Version 3.0.2 Quality-of-Life Changes

The update also adds territory snap-point switching, RaidZone Mental Pollution gameplay, Custom Server homepage changes, fishing improvements, and six new fish variants.

Treat each feature as a separate system. The appearance and inventory setup in this guide does not require rebuilding a territory or entering RaidZone.

Review the full in-game patch notice for region, mode, and scenario-specific details.

Do not assume every quality-of-life option is available on an old client.

Top-Up and Account Safety

Preset sharing and Item Lock are free update features. No purchase should be required to activate standard protection.

Players purchasing supported Once Human content can review Topuplist and use the Once Human top-up page. Confirm account, platform, server, product, currency, and final order information before payment. Never share a password or one-time security code.

Do not give another person account access to organize presets or lock items. These tasks can be completed through the normal client.

Common Version 3.0.2 Organization Mistakes

Logging into only one character and assuming every preset merged.
Deleting duplicate-looking presets before comparing them.
Applying a preset without reading cost confirmation.
Assuming cross-gender preset conversion is guaranteed.
Locking every common inventory item.
Forgetting to lock alternate build pieces.
Trusting the lock without verifying the icon.
Unlocking an entire category for one enhancement.
Assuming all death-drop rules are removed.
Reporting a missing item before checking lock, preset, and storage state.

Final Setup Routine

Log into every existing character once after Version 3.0.2. Open the shared appearance library, rename important presets, preserve a backup, and separate same-gender groups.

Then audit weapons, armor, mods, collectibles, and enhancement candidates. Lock important assets and verify protection through the item tooltip or mobile menu.

Use a short end-of-session inventory routine and a weekly lock review. The update's value comes from preventing future mistakes, not only from activating the feature once.
