Once Human Will Keep Some Cosmetic Radiance Values Above Standard
The rework will also expand where nickname colors appear, add dungeon-completion animations, and lower standing-action unlock thresholds.
Once Human’s upcoming Radiance rework will leave some cosmetic values above the game’s standard calculation, even as it updates badges, nickname colors, and shop rewards. The changes are scheduled for after the November 18 (PT) version update, according to the Steam dev blog.
The developers found that some Material Skin expansion packs received the same radiance as their original packs, giving them twice the amount intended. Upgradable vehicle skins also had a calculation error, with each stage adding the vehicle’s current total radiance again. The team will keep the affected cosmetics’ current values rather than reduce them, and says new cosmetics will follow the standard calculation method.
Here are the affected cosmetics and their standard and retained values. The acquisition requirements are included for reference.
| Cosmetic | Category | How to obtain | Standard radiance | Current radiance retained |

| Windspeak Realm | Legendary Material Skin | Lightforge Gem ×10 | 400 | 800 |

Radiance indicators will appear in more places
Team Name Decor and Personalized Badges will receive a unified visual update. Their designs are meant to be easier to spot in team lists and at close camera angles, with more pronounced motion and radiance textures that match the current system.
Nickname color effects will extend beyond their existing scenes. The colors will also appear in the Team and Dungeons interfaces, RaidZone and other defeated interfaces, and the Wilderness, giving them more visibility during group play, challenges, and exploration.
New shop rewards and earlier standing actions
The Radiance Shop will add exclusive settlement animations for dungeon completions. Players who meet the relevant radiance thresholds can redeem them with Colorful Badges. Their prices will be visible in the shop after the version update.
The required radiance level for each Character Standing Action will also decrease. That gives players at intermediate radiance levels a nearer unlock goal, though the announcement does not specify the new thresholds.
Do you think keeping the affected cosmetics’ current radiance values is the fairest way to handle the calculation errors? For more on the changes to badges, colors, and shop rewards, stay connected on X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram.
