Once Human has some pretty uncommon resources for players to find, naturally, the rarest ones are the most useful, which is entirely the case with Gold Ore.
Whether you’re looking to craft more advanced gear, get rich quickly, or even hoard all the game’s resources before you actually need them, you’ll need Gold Ore. This item is vital for higher-level players but is known to be extremely rare to find.
Once you find it, many fans will realize they can’t mine the ore without a certain pickaxe, so you must be prepared before heading out to search. So, to help you with that, here’s how to get Gold Ore in Once Human and upgrade your Pickaxe to mine it.
How to get Gold Ore in Once Human
Gold Ore is found all around the higher-level areas on the Once Human map. We’ve found Gold Ore in Red Sands, Blackheart, and Chalk Peak.
Rather than looking like Tin or Iron, Gold is a smooth golden rock, which nicely distinguishes it from the misleading golden color of Copper.
