Can we take a moment to appreciate this gem of a game? A $50 dollar game at that. The devs took a great concept with the original and knocked it out of the park.
100%. My review was a 9/10 and with so many good things about it I couldn't think of scoring it lower. The price point is just a benefit that's hard to argue with as well.
True, although nobody who says so is going to win an award for original thinking😂. It’s a great game, my first preorder in a longggg time
Yea it's $50 for you yankees, But us poor Aussies are paying almost double that 😢
@@racistjew342and you have a national minimum wage of $23.23 and ours is $7.25
@@racistjew342so are you paying like $75 in Aussie money? (What is that AUD?) I looked up a rough conversion and that’s what I found it to be.
I can’t believe this game is only $50 and they didn’t try and hype it up for 5 years before releasing it. I only heard about it the day before release and got it day 1. So good!
Omg yes dude!
I loooooved the first one, like I no lifed that game when I first picked it up and even being pretty up to date on gaming industry news, I only realized R2 was coming out like a few days before release. What a great and refreshing change, eh??
Dude story time: So maybe a week before this game dropped, I was playing another fantastic game with my buddy, the game is called Returnal it is a ps5 exclusive. I was discussing the shooting in that game and saying how it felt incredible, it was really tight and the sound along with the power made the guns feel like they had weight to them. I said "You know I haven't felt an over the shoulder game with gunplay this good since remnant, remember that game?"
and a week later I hear about Remnant 2 coming out lol. The coincidence, I hadn't talked or thought about the first game for years.
A tip about experience : Your earned exp is divided between two Archetypes, but if one of them is maxed out all exp goes to other. So while leveling other archetypes and you dont want to start from two level 0, keep your maxed one there and change other Archetype
That doesn’t actually make sense to me. You’re gonna have to go back and level a second one anyway why not just do two of them at the same time?
@@ink3478 to make leveling easy with your strong archetype. Having two weak ones will decrese your damage and utility a lot. But of course you can do that. I just listed it as an option
Actually good advice tbh
So aside from utility of a fully leveled arch type, would it end up taking @ roughly the same amount of time doing it either way? Just the path of one at a time would be less frustrating?
@@brujjIn theory it would take the same time, however with one fully leveled archetype you'll kill more enemies and faster. So levelling one archetype at the time would be objectively faster
Note about luminite: they count as "boss weapons" meaning thet are worth double their level for the sake of power level.
A +5 luminite weapon is a +10 normal. So when you level if you have a +5 normal & a +5 luminite, you're world will generate off the luminite scaling and make enemies for a +10 normal
Ohh this is huge info!! One of my favorite things is to obliterate enemies with op weapons.. knowthing that will scale enemies would wreck me if they got close. This is a huge tip. Thanks man!!
What does in mean in simple terms?
@@vripiatbuzoi9188 Your boss weapon at +5 is as strong as your normal weapon at +10
Boss weapons can level up to 10
Normal weapons up to 20
Only thing I wish would change, is for the hunter class, when activating your abilities it should highlight the weak spots instead of the whole enemy
Nah it should be orange for the whole enemy and a red outline for crit spots..
Or dont be lazy and LEARN where the weak spots are, "Gamers" these days just wait everything handle to them on a golden plate... "MAXIMUM REWARD without any effort put in"
@@racistjew342This has to be satire, because this is pure old man yelling at a cloud energy
@@racistjew342lazy? He’s asking for a highlighted, weak spot when using an ability. Do you want him to go to the local blockbuster and buy a strategy guide?
Bro snapped 😂
I spent 25 hour on the starting world already after looking through every crevice I could. Playing Coop also really fun considering the RNG in the world generation is really neat. Replay ability is amazing.
did you have any issues with levelling up your weapons, and enemies scaling up too fast? I just started, and trying to avoid this. I have both my guns I'm using at 3 and my character is at 3, I left my melee without any levels so far. should In just keep everything at the same level? To me that makes sense if it's going off the highest levelled weapon, they might as well be the same level.
that being said, I also heard some people saying that if you don't level your melee weapon, this somehow min/maxes scaling. I think this is because it is an average of your 3 equipped. I'm not sure which is right though. It's a really confusing topic to stumble into. As someone who looks info info on builds and synergies, that kind of thing though, this is one of the stranger things I've came across in a souls like game so far.
usually you can level up your weapon and get stronger, but it seems here they prevent that, and instead everything just stays the same. Maybe it needs to be that way because of how the game is designed, it just sounds strange to me.
For the note on the materials if you make a weapon from a boss drop and then fight that same boss again it will give you a free upgrade for your weapon. Bit of a tip if you tight on scrap or can't be bothered to spend it on upgrading boss weapons.
i asume this is if you dont go for the bosses alternative weapons. as half the games fun is getting alt weapons
Figured out one of the puzzles on my own and felt so big brain. Super satisfying
This video has alot of value, 40+ hours in and there are still tips I got out of this video. Well done
Absolutely 🎉
This is all great but a wonderful nice old veteran tip is learning to save time on reload animations by dodging when you hit reload. Will be the literal difference between life and death.
Yes, especially one shot builds
I don't believe it actually increases your reload speed, I've been using the 10 gauge with light dodges and can dodge twice before reloading
Ahhh yes the good old reload cancel. In your opinion what's the fastest reload cancel?
- Melee attack
- dodge (any direction)
-neutral dodge (backstep)
Literally about to sit down and play for the first time. This video is clutch my dude
Enjoy the journey.
Same here my guy, same here.
Mhm, I do agree with most of what he said except one thing. When you are starting out and when you starting to get trait points, I would actually hold onto a handful of them every so often just in case you find a trait you like. You can respec later, but I wouldn't worry about that until you have gotten a lot of points, however unless your heavily leaning into a certain build I don't recommend putting too many points into the starting traits, maybe only a few to help out a few stats but no more than that since your twin types will help cover most of what you need. 25 points for them and 60 you can freely spend.
Remnant 2 has that same addictive quality that Elden Ring possessed. I've been playing since release day, and cannot get enough of it! Gunfire Games have seemed to crack the code of what makes this franchise so special. I cannot wait to see where they take this in the future...SUPERB!!
Tip if u have alchemist he can double buff time on concoctions from 60mins to 120mins you can put buff on then swap out to any other class and you will still have 2 hour buff
Thanks!! This is one reason I read comments lol
alchemist is the only one that I unlocked, didn't know the vendors sold the others. I never used the concoctions at all and I got to the end boss. I kinda figured that I didn't want to constantly be using and making potions or whatever so I just didn't use them at all. 😅 Maybe I'll start. do they persist through death?
@@szlash280zYes they do persist through death
@trentmartin1061 thanks!
Thanks for this. Ive only got 10 hours into this game and my god do I suck, so every bit of help is appreciated. I still haven't got through a single map yet on easy mode lol.
Technically this game has no easy mode, so you are playing on normal :) . Don't worry. This game makes tons of people feel like noobs for a while. Heck I felt great for a while till I got to the end boss, and yup, feeling the noobness again lol.
@@TheLeannansidhe yeah I eventually got the hang of Elden Ring and beat it after like a month. That was one of the hardest games I played lol
@sourcejosh nice. I returned elden ring 4days after buying it. Beat a few bosses and realized I have no clue what's going on story wise. Wasn't having fun so I got rid of it
Damn I beat it the day I got it
I’ve found that while playing on nightmare, no amount of armor will save you.
Light rolls are the best defense ✌️
But looking cool is an even better defense 😎
Hm I find the opposite, going with 300+ armor and 80%+ damage reduction is what will keep you alive.
Ah yes, the classic souls strategy of "just don't get hit".
Don't listen to this clown
Just started this game. This video is excellent. It answered basic questions, and it answered things I didn't even know I needed answers for without spoilers or even pushing new players to lean into one play style over another. Clear & concise. Thanks.
Great video!- I've been watching videos for a week now, you explain some more in depth that I needed to hear. Yet to buy but probably will this weekend 😆.
Hands down I can tell you, you're game will make game of the year. What a magnificent experience. Me and my buddy been co op. Great job devs ❤
Quick Fallout 4 build- get the handler, run the leti 2 armor (except for helm), buy the hat/sunglasses headpiece from one of the vendors, then finally go grab the atom smasher rocket sledge. Boom, youre now a Fallout character in Remnant 😋
This is a really good guide.i wandered why i couldn't choose my second architype,now i know how to get them all
Another important tip.
Ammo drops aren't shared in coop. Make sure to communicate if you need to pick up ammo drops or are running low.
This for sure.. our melee challenger steals all our ammo.. lol
theres a ring to help with that at the ward
@@obiohaz6023 You mean an iron ring to fix a chain on the melee's neck in order to keep him at bay? :D
Gunslinger can help nullify this issue
@devilkingaming4619 then you have the issue of having to change your class.
Its not an "issue that needs fixing", and That's not a fix, it's just a feature of the class.
Great basics video. I would love to see a bunch of videos about this game. Like a guide, area guides, boss guides, weapon and item guides, etc. Very well put together content.
I'm playing medic/handler and the survivabilty is insane. Very good for solo players.
Handler by itself has great survivability with the dog taking agro, rezing you, etc. Very happy that I went with it for my first class
@@dimitrijetokovic5086 yeh I went sniper first time, could barely make it through first area, switched to new character being handler way better survivability
@@MrCraziieOne Hunter sniper? Yeah me too. Nightweaver was infuriating but I managed to beat her.
mix that with summoner and its just broken especially with the summon damage heal ring
@@Lipzyncable Need to unlock summoner first but I'll definitely test drive it!
Thanks for the video! So glad you went over the square doors and curved doors. I didn’t even realize there were different door types lol.
Played about 16 hours over the weekend and I’m hooked. I just play solo but I love the gameplay, enemies and worlds. It’s so high quality and I hope this game gets more recognition.
Something I noticed they never explained is that if you're playing on controller, you have to hit L1/LB then R1/RB to use your class skill.
The in game tips tell you randomly
Finally got around to getting this after loving the first one. This is super helpful, thanks!
Finally after going through a few vids a great summary of what I was looking for 👍🏻👍🏻
Great to see you doing another game. Foolish me didn't realize there's a difference between Xbox One S and series S cuz it wouldn't install on my system. Well we figured that out then my modem and 50" tv blew simultaneously. Glad to say I can hop right into this now. Keep the vids coming
Awesome tips. VERY nice and unique ones! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Great stuff here! I just started playing so these tips are invaluable.
I think I need to dial down my difficulty level because this game is tough AF!
if ur going broke on scraps, try finding the amulate shaped like a dice, and just have that equiped when u r just exploring, itll give u 50 percent more scrap i blieve. re equip ur main amulate when u fight a boss
That was the first one I found, like level 1.
Great tips. I didn't realize you can favorite rings. Massive qol right there. Thanks!
To tack on weapon upgrades, that I am aware, melee weapons from bosses don't have the crystal cost to upgrade, even if they have a unique effect. (My main source on this is the Huntress spear because I like being able to yeet my melee for Deceit's mod.)
Additionally, every major milestone exhaust Mudtooth of his dialogue. At certain points, you will be rewarded for listening to his stories.
In the case of people hunting the Trait points, I believe each world will (usually) have ten books to spawn for collection. (Source there is being stuck on my first world boss until I found my 10th book of knowledge to let me have subtype class.)
As a tip in don't forgets, don't forget that emotes are a thing, some can be used to solve puzzles or extra rewards
Hands down the best guide ive seen ,great content thank u!
Best beginners guide I’ve seen on this game so far.
If you kill a boss or pick up a gun again, it gets +1 level. Like the safe in the asylum gives shot gun. The boss weapon gets +1 if you have it and kill boss again. Don't have too have it equipped.
I almost sold the four or so Luminites I have just through a couple hours of play. Wanted the scrap more but I was like " No. Wait and see if it's important for something. ". Turns out I was right. The Purge like alarm on a mini boss roll out is kinda cool. Makes me look around frantically. lol
once again an awesome overview, thanks for the great content!
Literally the only random generation game I ever liked. I love the exploring and rewards.
Just picked it up this morning. Great video
Absolutely love this game. One of my favorites of all time
Love the video. I just got the game going try it out now.
I love the starting AR. Still using it. Lol. Also highly recommend Enigma for the secondary. It erases entire groups of trash mobs instantly.
Exact same gun set up I'm running, just got the shock elemental augment mod and it's crazy with the AR
Just completed my first world, hoping to pick it up next.
@@WobblezTheWeird Any of the ammo mods are great. Acid, fire, shock, etc. Reminds me of Outriders where the best builds were all the ones with augmented ammo.
Acid has been my go-to with the lmg from the vendor
@@brujj That is also a good combo. Been testing it out myself.
Me and my bro started playing this game since he wanted to play it and as the older brother i'm just glad to play games with him. So I chose the veteran difficulty and we're just got to the N'erud labyrinths and the boss fights are heck but eventually we do beat them. I chose the hunter and he picked the handler, looks like the game opens up and look forward to that.
Appreciate this video. Some of the systems and/or where to find things are a bit convoluted to stumble through on your own.
I just started playing couple days ago and this video was very much helpful and well structured. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
There hasn’t been a game that has really made me want to turn on my PS5 so much as Remnant 2.
Thanks for those tips. That video is a big help. Good work. Keep doing like this! ;)
Great guide, covered all the basics. Thanks
Great video very helpful.
Been playing for a month and I still don’t know much about the game thank you
Just bought this game in a steam sale. Can’t wait to play it because I loved the first one, it was so underrated. Any fan of destiny, Diablo, and souls games would love this series.
You can select emotes by holding G and sometimes you will "have" to emote.
Great tips video, something you got wrong though, the horn audio cue doesn’t indicate an elite enemy, the horn is more to do with a horde of trash mobs, the audio cue that sound like rubbing finger on wine glass, that’s an elite that spawned ( higher pitch ) and defeated elites is the same but is a lower pitch
Great vid dude, I wouldn’t mind seeing strategies to some of the bosses or some build recommendations with duo classes, keep up the good work and great game, really enjoying it so far
Noted!
The amount of replayability is insane! Shout out the favorite feature which I'm gonna go log in and use right now!
Thanks. As a new player currently heading towards the end of my first zone, this was very enlightening and helpful
Another huge tip would on mod generation is utilising DoT effects. The weapon from the first world boss is a great generator weapon, hit the enemy a few times to get the debuff on the enemy and swap to your normal weapon and watch the mod power flow. Works best if your other mod is an instantaneous mod rather than a fuel mod (i.e. hotshot) so you don’t have to wait for it to expire before gaining mod energy again
Everyone has different first worlds since it's random
Haven’t gotten any weapons yet and I just got the third and fourth worlds unlocked
Best vid for a beginner I’ve seen so far smashed it bro 🗣️
Thanks very much.
Thanks for the good tips.
How did you make the game run so smooth and look so crisp?
Just got the game today and its blowing my mind. there is so much to do and for 50$, so far, it is 10000% worth it
Solid video, great work!
Just got this same from a sale. Thank you for the guide!!
This has game of the year all over it!
Been playing for 6 hours since getting off work and downloading it. So rad!
If your hard up for cash I recommend going thru an area you already did in adventure mode,some of the equipment you find will probably be different but any duplicates you find will net you a decent sum of money
Also get the amulet that doubles your scrap you loot
Awesome intro video! I don’t recall you mentioning much about co-op play. Is this game fun just playing solo (which is how I usually play my games on PS5) or is the game really intended to be played co-op?
Thank you, very informative video. Subscribed ❤
Great guide very helpful thanks 😊
Insanely helpful thanks very very much! Liked and subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
Played the 1st game recently, diving in to this today thanks for the video and thank you game pass!
Awesome video man. I’m struggling so much on what difficulty to play on lol. I’m going back and forth from survivor and veteran
First play on survivor, second time on veteran.
@@Ebontisthank you🙏
thanks for the tips dude.. btw rerolling the adventure modes for each world, do the items collected during the adventure mode get back to our original campaign character? i.e weapons amulets etc
Yep, anything you find in either Adventure or Campaign will be on your character unless they are quest items specific to a certain thing, but even some of those I think you can carry over for certain mysteries.
Great video dude thanks a lot
Game is on Xmas sale this video sold me on it downloading now tyvm happy new year
If you want lots of goodies you really gotta turn on the autism and go full completionist mode. With the random generation it’s possible you got lucky and rolled a rare side quest or reward that you won’t come across easily again. And don’t be afraid to look up videos if all else fails. Some of these puzzles are majorly ridiculous (e.g. waiting 90 real-time minutes for water to fill up a room) and in at least one case there’s a puzzle that requires multiple players (the dog will not work, it has to be another player). In the case of the second example, the amount of time you’ll waste trying to find the solution (1 hour) when there simply isn’t one for a solo player, is much better spent looking it up and moving on. It’s more rewarding to figure a lot of this stuff out yourself and it’s also fully possible if you’re being thorough and attentive, but if you’re at the point where it’s holding you back from moving on just look it up, you’re sanity will thank you.
Oh, invisible walls are a thing, have fun rolling into everything.
Extremely helpful thank you!
You're welcome!
If you are running a melee challenger with shield hp Regen, your starter weapon maxed out is at 300+. Can crit 2k with it.
One other tip is you can create loadouts so if you want to swap everything with one click, you can. To access loadouts, press the Tab key and look at the lower left corner. You see Stats/Loadouts. On PC, Press R twice because the first press gives you all those stats. You have access to 8 loadouts and one last gear state, which I don't know what that means, just have to play around with it. But each loadout saves not just your archetypes, but also your gear, so once you start opening up those archetypes and find a loadout you like, save it. That way you can click one button to go from a medic/handler to a summoner/whatever without having to click 50 buttons to swap out gear.
“That is the main point of armor. How do you look. How do you dodge.” As a destiny Hunter player, I like your priorities
flashlight also illuminates clues in some puzzles. Had a puzzle in a sewer that I needed to find a lock combination amongst numbers on the wall.
This is kinda feeling like myst got a souls-like remake. Loving the puzzles and world hopping, and im trying to make sense of the story still since im only on my first run.
I have been resetting my campaign before beating the first world as I've needed the extra trait and scrap drops so I can get better.
Relic shard drops are based off world level so if you gamble them at town load up an Apocalypse game then teleport to a crystal in that campaign then back to town so the town level becomes Apoc then gamble for them at the vender.
I think I must have missed this. There's gambling? Who does that. I thought I talked to everyone
Yeah what
The second archetype slot and how to unlock them is a game changer. I wish the game had explained that, I got through the first world with only 1.
25 hours in and still haven't completed the game. I've been checking every single zone top to bottom. My friend who rushed to beat the game in 10 hours is confused as to why I have so much cool stuff and am a higher level 😂
If he beat it in 10 hours he definitely played on easy mode.
Thanks this helped a lot!
Glad it helped!
You can also deconstruct weapons if you don’t like them and it redounds all the upgrade materials minus the scrap so it’s not a big deal leveling and testing weapons early on.
I like to use the LMG as the gunslinger. 150 bullet magazine and once it's running out, pop the skill. insta reload with free bullet
And mod insta reload gun. Hot shot melt enemy 😊
@@vuckovicgoran86the electric version gives increased fire rate too 😎
Corrosive is my jam with that gun
Great video👍
Tip: if you do the night web boss, you can put unused story/quest items into the web for mutations. So if you open the door and didn't give the statues, or you went to the goat world and kept the ribbon, throw it into the web for resources.
Which web? I threw the three statues in the second little web.. they just disappeared and I got nothing haha.
@@DDRWesselink there's the web you put the nightweaver statue into to get the dreamcatcher. You don't have to pick up the other things. I got those relic mod pop-ups saying i got items right away.
Edit: i also threw in the plain ribbon and other quest items that i already had the rewards for.
Perfect game perfect guide!
The light dodge doesn't use stamina when rolling, in combat. that 's huge if you dodge a lot, and it helps a lot in the early game, when you don't have the stamina investment yet.
Great advice.
Wish there were different backpack options to choose from and maybe armor customization with color options etc.
Great video
veru helpful thank you.
I played up until the last boss and did every area of every zone in the campaign up to that point and I ONLY unlocked ONE extra engram. I didn't know that the vendors sold anything that would unlock more of them for me. I'm a consumable hogger, I rarely/never use temporary buff items because I don't want to waste them. I pretty much wrote all the vendors off except the girl that sells you Iron, the weapon upgrade guy and the lady that makes new weapons from boss guts. "things I wish I knew sooner" indeed 🤣🤣🤣
does anyone else feel like scrap drops at an extremely rare rate compared to R1? I can literally go into earth and leave with 20 to 30 thousand but in R2 I never even got 50k throughout the entire game.
best game, best vid too bro good stuff
This game looks interesting, never played souls type games but this looks a little more of an adventure style game and I hear there are puzzles. Graphics look pretty good too.
It is but be aware it is still very much a souls like game in that even the weakest enemies can put you down fast.
The souls games are definitely adventure games. They feel more like adventure games than this does. Remnant 1/2 definitely feel more like shooters. They're great, but they're shooters at their core. They're really 3D Diablo.
@TheDungeonDive like diablo? How is that? diablo is a looter . Yea remnant has loot but it's not random theres not stats to roll or percentages to max out .Remants gameplay is much closer to a souls like than it is to diablo outside of the obvious completely different gameplay styles diabo is all about number if your number is bigger than the bosses you win.theres almost never been any level of skill involved , Remand can be brutal
If you like a challenging rewarding experience with exploration, puzzles, and a good repayable experience. Definitely worth it. Story line is kinda meh imo
@@cowgoesbarkeh I never expected a great story
Just a fair advice, your Ping button, held down, brings up the emote wheel, you might need that for a certain area and " person "
