Special Parts in Once Human can be scrapped from items found in level 40+ regions such as Red Sands. Red Sands is also the only location you can find Gold. Most of the regions in the game have similar types of resources that provide similar functions. The only difference is the name, so you have certainly come across counterparts such as Standard Parts. Although they aren’t the same in terms of stats, the main idea for farming any part should be familiar as you enter new zones.

Most Standard, Refined, or Special Parts are tied to electronics. The names of those electronics will change depending on the level of the region you are exploring. Early electronics can be salvaged from items like fans, which seems simple enough. Later on, you need to search for electronics such as drones or any kind of computer part. Whenever you find electronics that can yield decent parts, a message will typically get plastered on your screen for a moment so that you are aware of the find. Likewise, very valuable scrap glows gold. Computer parts might seem mundane at first, but they’re important.

Unless you get lucky and you find Special Parts from crates or enemies, finding electronics is just the first step. Eventually, all the loot you have needs to be brought back to your Territory so that you can make use of the Disassembly Bench. You can check off all the scrappable items that you currently have and they will be broken down for parts. Anything from the level 40+ region will yield you those rare resources you have been looking for.
