Best Remnant 2 multiplayer characters
Want to know which are the best Remnant 2 Multiplayer characters? You can play the game solo, or with up to three players in co-op in this Souls-like action-packed third-person shooter. Playing solo is possible, but having a squad member can be beneficial for reviving you if you meet an untimely end, as well as covering more ground.
The best characters to level up with are those who can be accessed early on, and those who can help you combat enemies and boss fights effectively. You can play with random teammates if you want, but the multiplayer feature is only accessible after you’ve completed the tutorial and introduction sequence. Once you’ve done that, you can head to the Hub and join up with random players to tackle the game’s higher difficulty settings. Here are the best Remnant 2 characters to choose from when leveling up in multiplayer.
The starting locations of each player is random, meaning you can have very different difficulty curves, enemy types, and bosses depending on who you end up playing with. If you’re having trouble with a particular area, joining a multiplayer match to level up and overcome those challenges is highly recommended.
These are the best starting characters in Remnant 2:
Solo players will have to work with what they have, but we recommend picking the Tank or the Medic archetype for your starting character. The Tank can take a lot of damage, and with the right equipment, you can crowd control enemies effectively through status effects and knockbacks.
The Medic archetype is worth picking if you’re on your own as it speeds up the Dragon Heart animations, which are annoying when you’re trying to restock your ammo and Dragon Hearts. Wally can also upgrade the number of charges, which is essential for conserving resources. You can also pick up some modifiers for the Dragon Heart from Dwell in the Hub to make it more effective.
If you’re playing with a full squad, you can pick main archetypes that best suit your needs. For example, if there’s a lot of fire in an area, pick the Pyromancer to set enemies ablaze and deal additional fire damage. There are also plenty of modifiers for each archetype to choose from so you can tailor them to your needs.
If you reach level 10 and haven’t attached a secondary archetype, you should do that as it enhances your abilities and strength in combat. You can mix and match them to create unique combinations of abilities, so choose the secondary archetype that best suits your playstyle.
Additional characters
There are additional characters with unique abilities and archetypes that you can unlock through gameplay.
Here is a list of additional characters and what you need to do in order to unlock them:
Attaching mods to your weapons is a crucial part of combat as they can take the status effects of enemies and apply them to other enemies. Attaching the correct mods to your weapons based on the enemy type is recommended to conserve resources. For example, attaching a mod to your weapon that causes poison damage to enemies and applying that to an enemy with a poison status effect will kill other enemies of the same type.
There are also some weapons that you unlock by leveling up with certain archetypes. For example, the Blaster is unlocked when you reach level 30 with the Pyromancer archetype.
