In shooter games, the weapons you use shape how you play and enjoy the game. The quality of gunplay can make the game exciting or frustrating, influencing how the game unfolds. If the weapons are not good, the game can become uninteresting.
Remnant 2 showcases great weapon design. Each weapon stands out and offers a different way to play the game. However, the experience can vary depending on the player and their character build. Even the most powerful weapons won’t perform well without the right items and class synergy.
Atom Smasher
The Atom Smasher is a speedy hammer in melee weapon. It has a special feature that makes it swing even faster when you charge up an attack, making it more effective than most other melee weapons.
It can be found during the train event at Terminus station on N’Erud, specifically in the last train car after completing the event. You’ll need to do some platforming to get to it.
Spectral Blade
The Spectral Blade is a powerful laser weapon that shoots a hot beam. It can reach far and hurt foes a lot. When you make a special move with it, it spins around and slashes a bunch of times, which is handy if bad guys surround you. Plus, it looks cool with its shiny blue laser light.
To make this weapon, you have to finish the Travel to Alepsis story first. Then, find the three Seeker’s Keys to fight Sha’Hala Spectral Guardian of N’Erud. When you win, he’ll drop the Eidolon Shard. With that, you can go to McCabe worship and make the Spectral Blade.
Sorrow
Sorrow is a special handgun that’s really good for shooting accurately from medium to long distances. It looks as good as it performs, and when you make it even better, it does more than twice the regular damage.
It comes with a cool upgrade called Eulogy that lets you pull back your shots, which not only hurts the bad guys but also helps heal you. So, Sorrow is not just a backup weapon but also a way to keep yourself healthy.
To get the Sorrow handgun, first, you need to find the Tear of Kaeula Ring in Yaesha. When you do that, you’ll run into Kaeula’s Shadow. After dealing with that, you’ll meet Meidra. Give her the Tear of Kaeula ring, and she’ll give you the Sorrow handgun in exchange.
Plasma Cutter
The Plasma Cutter is like the Enigma Gun but shoots laser beams instead of bullets. It’s powerful, holds a lot of shots, and is very accurate, making it a top choice for any character. It doesn’t kick much, so it’s great for long-range attacks too.
If you attach the Heat Sink Mod, it boosts the damage and cools the gun down. You can find the Plasma Cutter in the Navigation Room at N’Erud, but you need to wear the Navigator’s Helm first.
Crescent Moon
While a one-shot bow might not seem like the best choice for a game like Remnant 2 at first, the Crescent Moon bow has some surprises that might change your mind.
To start, it has serious damage and accuracy, making it effective at different distances. When fully upgraded, it deals 261 damage, and with the right accessories, you can even double that damage and shoot more rapidly.
What really makes this bow special is its amazing mod, Moonlight Barrage, which is probably one of the best mods you can get. This mod boosts your damage, turns regular shots into fully charged shots, and changes charged shots to fire two arrows.
It can even restore your health when you hit enemies with the bow while the mod is active, using Moon Essence dropped by those enemies. Getting this bow is a bit of a process. First, you need to obtain the Dreamcatcher, and then you use it on Nimue while she’s asleep.
This will give you an item that transports you to a particular area where you can find Anamy’s Echo. Take this crafting material to McCabe, and then you’ll be able to enjoy the best bow the game has to offer.
Stonebreaker
The Stonebreaker is a powerful melee weapon that hits hard but swings slowly. It can deal a lot of damage if you build your character right, but it forces you to get up close to enemies, which can be tough on higher difficulty levels.
Its special attack also does area damage, which can help you clear some space. You can get it by defeating the Corruptor boss on Yaesha, but be careful not to fully defeat the guardian if you want to craft this weapon.
Nebula
The Nebula is a special handgun that shoots a stream of corrosive acid, causing damage over time to enemies. When you defeat an enemy with this gun, it releases a gas cloud that continues to harm nearby foes. The lingering damage effect allows you to switch to a different gun for more damage, making it a strong choice for various playstyles.
You can also enhance its performance with a mod that deals significant damage over time. To get the Nebula, don’t accept Tal Ratha’s offer to consume you; instead, defeat him and obtain spice bile. Take this material to McCabe at ward 13, and she’ll craft the weapon for you.
Merciless
The Merciless is a powerful weapon known for its rapid-fire and high damage. It works best at close to medium range and has excellent accuracy along with a decent magazine size. What sets it apart is its built-in Bleed effect, which is very effective in the game.
Additionally, with the Bloodline Mod, the Merciless can unleash a devastating blast that can penetrate through all enemies in front of you, dealing an extra 50 percent damage to each impaled enemy. This makes it incredibly valuable when you’re in a tight spot or facing a group of enemies.
To craft the Merciless, you need to defeat the Corrupted Ravager under specific conditions to obtain the Crimson Membrane. Once you have this crafting material, take it to McCabe to create the weapon and unlock its powerful Bleed effect.
Widowmaker
The Widowmaker in Remnant 2 is like a super-powerful sniper rifle. It deals big damage, especially if you hit the weak spots, but you need to be really good at aiming to use it well. It only holds one bullet at a time, so every shot matters.
It’s a risky but rewarding weapon. You can make it even more powerful with rings and special setups. You can get the Widowmaker from Brabus at ward 13 for 1000 scrap.
Enigma
Enigma is one of the game’s most powerful guns because it deals strong area-of-effect damage and has a special shock damage type. Its unique feature is the shock tethers it shoots, which attach to enemies and continuously hurt them. You can make it even more powerful by adding shock damage to it.
Additionally, this gun can cause a shock status effect overload, dealing extra damage. You can find the crafting parts for this weapon in the labyrinth. To get there, use the portal gate, which moves around, and defeat a few enemies.
World’s Edge
World’s Edge is a powerful melee weapon that’s tough to get. It’s one of the best at knocking enemies off balance because it has a high stagger effect. When you charge it up, it shoots out waves horizontally. To get this weapon, you have to beat the game on apocalypse difficulty, which is the toughest challenge in the game.
Rune pistol
The Rune Pistol is a powerful handgun that shoots quickly and holds a lot of bullets. It deals a lot of damage up close and has plenty of ammo, making it great for fighting lots of enemies.
One of its best features is that it can heal the player with its special attachment, which helps keep you healthy in longer fights. To get the Rune Pistol, you need to trade in the ravenous medallion item at the Nightweaver’s web in Losomn.
Sagittarius
Sagittarius is a powerful bow that does big damage with each shot, especially when you hit enemies in their weak spots. This bow is great for taking down bosses and hitting multiple enemies at once. It’s best used from a medium distance to stay safe. To get Sagittarius, solve the puzzle in Yaesha’s Cathedral of Omens.
Alpha/Omega
Alpha/Omega is a powerful pulse rifle that shoots five rounds in a row. When you hit your target, it charges up faster and deals more damage for a little while. When you add its special mod, it becomes even stronger, dealing good damage and giving you more ammo and mod power.
This gun really shines when you’re facing lots of enemies that keep coming at you. To get it, defeat the last boss in the game Annihilation on any difficulty, and McCabe in Ward 13 can craft it for you.
Nightfall
Nightfall is a rifle that shoots slowly and deals moderate damage in its basic form. It doesn’t hold many bullets, but it’s great at targeting weak points. What sets it apart from other weapons in the game is its special ability called Dreadwalker.
With Dreadwalker, you can enter a nightmarish state that boosts your shooting speed and lets you steal health from enemies while making it harder for them to hit you. When you combine Nightfall with a build that enhances your shooting speed and weak point damage, it becomes a real threat to all the game’s bosses.
To get Nightfall, you need to defeat the boss Nightweaver in Losomn, collect the materials it drops, and take them to McCabe in Ward 13. McCabe can craft the weapon for you.
