The blueprint costs 8,000 Starchrom, and you need the Advanced Gear Workbench before you can craft the Tier IV or Tier V rifle.

The blueprint costs 8,000 Starchrom, and you need the Advanced Gear Workbench before you can craft the Tier IV or Tier V rifle.

The AWS.338 – Bullseye is a Legendary bolt-action sniper rifle in Once Human. It marks targets with The Bull’s Eye, which makes them take more damage. Getting one takes two separate unlocks. First you buy the blueprint with Starchrom, then you craft the rifle at an Advanced Gear Workbench.

Quick answer: Open Blueprints, go to Weapon Blueprints, pick Sniper Rifle, and spend 8,000 Starchrom on AWS.338 – Bullseye B.P. Then unlock the Advanced Gear Workbench under Combat and craft it there.


AWS.338 – Bullseye unlock and crafting requirements

Collect everything below before you start. The blueprint unlock is a one-time purchase. The crafting cost applies each time you build a rifle.

RequirementAmount or location
Blueprint unlock8,000 Starchrom
Blueprint unlock (alternative)80 Blueprint Fragments
Crafting stationAdvanced Gear Workbench
Tech nodeCombat tree, Sequence 4: Exploration
Tier IV crafting fee2,200 Energy Link
Tier V crafting fee4,200 Energy Link

Bullseye fragments do not drop from Mystical Crates. That makes Starchrom the practical route for most players.


How to unlock the AWS.338 – Bullseye blueprint

Open the main menu and select Blueprints. Choose the Weapon Blueprints tab to see every gun blueprint grouped by weapon type.
Switch to the Sniper Rifle category. Find the entry named AWS.338 – Bullseye B.P. and select it to see its unlock cost.

Check the “How to Get” line. It reads “Obtain by spending Starchrom” and lists an unlock cost of 8000. If you are short, hover over the Starchrom icon to open the Obtain Starchrom window, which is covered below.
Confirm the purchase to spend 8,000 Starchrom. The AWS.338 – Bullseye B.P. unlocks at Tier IV, and you get Collection EXP right away.

Where to earn Starchrom for the blueprint

Starchrom is the currency for unlocking and upgrading gear blueprints. The Obtain Starchrom window sorts its sources into four groups:

  • Exploration: unlocking teleport towers (500 Starchrom each) and settling strongholds.
  • Scenario Challenge: featured challenge objectives for the current scenario.
  • Game Mode: purifying territories with Echo Stones and teaming up in Prime War.
  • Daily: daily missions and Battle Pass levels.

Starchrom income has a cap of 66,000 per limit period. The Obtain Starchrom window shows how much you have earned against that cap and how long until it resets.


Unlock the Advanced Gear Workbench to craft the rifle

Owning the blueprint does not give you the gun. Open the Tech menu (the Cradle screen), go to the Combat tree, and research the Advanced Gear Workbench node under Sequence 4: Exploration. That node also unlocks crafting for the full series of high-velocity ammunition. Then build the workbench at your base and interact with it.

Sniper Rifle Body IV is the only material you cannot craft. It has a chance to drop when you search military strongholds or open weapon crates. Body items marked as exclusive to a scenario cannot be carried out once that scenario ends, so use them before then.

The same workbench screen also lists a Tier V version. It uses Tier V components and costs 4,200 Energy Link instead of 2,200.

StatTier IVTier V
DMG12161848
Fire Rate4040

Crit DMG26%26%
Weakspot DMG95%95%

The Bull’s Eye triggers 70% of the time on a weakspot hit. It also triggers on your first hit after switching weapons. A marked target is outlined and takes Vulnerability +8% for 12 seconds. The rifle also gains stacking Weakspot DMG when it hits non-Meta-Human enemies. After a weakspot kill, it grants Attack +15% for 20 seconds.

You can confirm the unlock in two places. The blueprint should show as owned in the Sniper Rifle category of Weapon Blueprints, with the Collection EXP gain shown at purchase. The AWS.338 recipe should also appear at the Advanced Gear Workbench with its material list. Once you have the Sniper Rifle Body IV and 2,200 Energy Link, the craft button finishes the job.
