Quick answer
Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve is a PvE scenario introduced in Once Human Version 2.2.0. Its official announcement describes finding and capturing Deviations, forming a team of up to three Deviations, and using a fusion system. Exact availability, encounter rules, and numerical effects can change, so use the live Scenario Sign-up screen and in-game tooltips as the authority.
What this guide applies to
This page summarizes the official Version 2.2.0 scenario announcement from October 2025. It is an official legacy setup, not a current capture-rate guide, a best-team ranking, or a guarantee that every listed mechanic is unchanged on every server.
Capture and Deviation teams
The Version 2.2.0 announcement introduces a scenario built around encountering and capturing Deviations. It says players can form a team of up to three Deviations. That team-size statement belongs to the scenario announcement; check the current scenario rules before planning a loadout around it.
Capturing Deviations
The official announcement presents capture as a central scenario activity. It does not make this page a location guide or promise a fixed spawn route, because those details can depend on the live scenario, server state, and later updates.
Team of up to three
The announcement says players can form a team of up to three Deviations. Before entering the scenario, confirm the current team interface and any eligibility restrictions in game.
Fusion
Version 2.2.0 also announced a fusion system for the scenario. Use the current in-game UI to confirm its available inputs, outcomes, and costs rather than relying on an older screenshot or community claim.
Scenario-specific rules and mods
The Version 2.2.0 announcement describes scenario-specific systems and notes a mod-system exception within its Visional mechanics. Do not assume that a regular-build mod recommendation applies unchanged here. Check the current scenario panel and item tooltips before committing materials or a build.
Before you start
- Open the Scenario Sign-up screen and verify that Deviation: Survive, Capture, Preserve is available on your server.
- Check the live team limit and capture requirements in the scenario interface.
- Read the current fusion and mod-system descriptions before spending materials.
- Treat a guide as historical unless it identifies the same patch, scenario, and rule set you are playing.
