Ranking EVERY Weapon Mod In Remnant 2 (The Forgotten Kingdom DLC)

What is the BEST weapon mod in Remnant 2? These are the slottable abilities you can place on weapons. Some are tied to specific boss weapons and can't actually be taken off. Many of these are the strongest attacks in the entire game. And some are much better than you probably thought. This is an in-depth look at all 69 weapon mods in Remnant 2. Looking at which mutators are good on them, and what kind of builds you can expect to make with them. The video is long for sure, but the information will be highly valuable.
Remnant 2 is a direct sequel to the Remnant From The Ashes Game that came out a few years ago. It appears to take place further in the future with root corrupting the jungle area almost completely, and Ford being an old man. The game will have 3 player coop with brand new worlds to explore and plenty of weapons to try out. Already we have seen at least 5 massive bosses and items such as a pistol, barrel shotgun, saw blade, and best of all a bow. This game will be coming out sometime in 2023 and it will have branching quest lines, augments, crafting, and plenty of loot rewards. The first game was an absolute blast and this sequel is shaping up to be an excellent addition to the series.

can't wait for the other tier list videos, very excited.

[@chikage6414]

imo defrag should be much higher. it's not mentioned but it grants a 15% ranged damage increase on activation for its entire duration, which stacks with the 20% damage bonus from the orbs. it also lasts longer than the other imbue mods & won't cripple your damage against elemental resist bosses

[@negueitchons5991]

It should be better than all the other imbue mods since it costs more mod power

Nah my root lash minions are one shoting most mobs and laying down a bunch at once is hilarious plus they follow you and last crazy long

[@laughingmute608]

the biggest problem with Summon mods is that they are all over the place as to what type of damage the scale with. Only 2 actually scale with summon making Soul Stone a poor option for a summon mod build. Then you have some that have an activation timer not allowing you to summon more or even generate mod until the summon vanishes.

[@Qballiz2kool]

My biggest issue is just the variety of summon mods, there’s just so few of them, and they’re all just not as interesting as the ones we had in Remnant 1.

[@laughingmute608]

@@Qballiz2kool Small problem with your statement. Beckon and Seed Caller where made into Summoner Skills, Very Good Boy is the Handlers Pet, Iron Sentinel now has 3 variants with 2 firing modes each for the Engineer, Tentacle Shot is now Root Lash mod and Seeker is now Space Crabs mod. Leaving Rattle Weed as the only unique Summon from Remnant 1. Which means Remnant 2 has Slightly more summons then 1 Oh and clone was incorporated into the Invader class

[@AFCasey22]

you can generate mod power while summons active by using the leaking gemstone

[@laughingmute608]

@@AFCasey22 While true you still can't summon more until times up, and by using that ring you are sacrifices better utility and damage as again you are waiting for the summon timer to run out and it provides no benefit to skill summons

Great vid..... when talking about Dreadwalker mod for Nightfall you state ideally set it up with the ?Leaking gemstone, using the ?Shocker trait with the ?Boltweaver mutator..... not sure I'm hearing these right, if you could just clarify. I have the Nightfall at +7 but I'm sure I don't have it set up optimally - I'm at the the Custodian's Eye boss and he is kicking my ass. Thanks!

[@vilkiss7847]

Song Of Eafir can never go wrong. been part of my build majority of the time. pls make relic tier list next since couple of relic got tweaked in dlc 2 patch.

[@Xander3270]

It’s always hard watching your videos because some of the things you put down at F tier I’ve seen used with some amazing builds. Ruin pistol both corrupted and reg is awesome and I think although the whisps don’t track it’s a pretty great weapon to use when deciding to switch up from weapons like the enigma and nebula. Pairing ruined pistol in coop is awesome as well. Ruined corrupted is also great with the monolith as well. Many builds aren’t just for boss

[@Xander3270]

I think that’s where your tier list base comes from boss builds and the games not always about that. Very informative video though about nerds and such

[@Xander3270]

Nerfs**

[@SheenShots]

Well if you notice the footage I tested that gun against ads and not a boss. Since it isn't useful there. I tend to test things where they should be used at, even it it isn't' apparent to the viewer. And while it is technically something you can use, it is also objectively worse than many other sources of healing. You are wasting a very nice mod slot for something that grants an extremely low amount of health. Also, consider that the corrupted rune pistol should almost always take its spot for support and no one runs it. Personally I have never seen it in any build ever, and I try to stay as up to date as possible on the ones people make. But hey if you like it you like it. Plus I did rank the corrupted version rank A which is perfectly deserving of that item.

[@Ccubed92]

I have a archon tremor and sandstorm mod build and you can legit fly through the game on apocalypse with zero issue.

[@haniespanieldollis]

22:04 Yes the corrupted Meridian mod is bonkers 😀😀

[@haniespanieldollis]

48:39 Are there any mutators, rings amulets etc that you know of that can make normal bullets convert into an elemental/explosive or apply corrosive etc? As in without using a mod. I swear there was a ring or something that did that in the Remnant 1

[@BenderIsGreat3464]

Fetid would, twisting wounds, searing wounds all apply elemental damage to critical or I think weakspot hits. Those are mutators

[@darkspiro6467]

Lets go mod video

[@MySpartan94]

Yo i didnt know the firestorm no longer sucks you in. That helps a ton lol. I was always super scared to tag it onto an enemy because if they rush you, you pretty much die lol

[@SheenShots]

Ya, they basically removed it as far as I can tell. It is way WAY easier to play with now. Very nice change I think.

[@haniespanieldollis]

20:12 I don't think I saw that the aura expanding trait didn't make the mist any larger. Would have thought it would have?

Aaaaa im happy to see my space crabs at least at A tier thx man , pretty generous, but they also deserve it for sure.

[@haniespanieldollis]

17:50 Yes seems weird, the portal should be honing or be able to follow the enemies. I can't get along with bows at all, I wonder how devs will make them better

[@BalgaBear]

I dislike it when so many weapons/armors/consumables/mods exist and only a handful are useful for anything harder than normal difficulty.

[@haniespanieldollis]

8:49 Oh cool, not come across this yet 😮 sounds naff anyway thanks for the heads up 👍

[@chrispatchett1873]

Idk if it works still but activate and deactivate fargazer, used to keep mod and allow the damage to fill it normally

[@haniespanieldollis]

7:44 This one I found useful at awkward moments

[@pierreCHT]

Healing shot is S tier in hardcore

[@RPG_Bro]

I won’t deny some of the critiques across the whole tier list, but it feels very “armchair developer” to ask for some (not all) of the mods to remove what very little effort they want from the user. I do think it’s a healthy for the game that some mods don’t excel at everything.

[@SheenShots]

If you are referring to the sandstorm spam in our current "meta" of builds yes I definitely agree with you. Most mods feel at least like you need to put effort into regen, crit, or something interesting to make them work. Sandstorm I chalk it up to "the pretty new toy from DLC 2" lol. It will likely be modified in the future likely with a much higher mod cost.

[@jeremyruppert3841]

Are you able to wear the crown and the hood of the red prince at the same time?

[@SheenShots]

Yes, you need to get it as a separate item. Hood, crown, Hood+crown all different rewards.

[@gaminggerber4308]

Knight gurad works super good for me on the hardest difficulty

[@moedark4390]

No Fathomless Deep?

[@Serialfoxity]

Soul Brand on the Rune Pistol heals for 20% which isn't too bad, I'd rank it a little higher than F but the 3m pick up range is pretty piss poor. Might need to check up on the stats on some mods

[@SheenShots]

There are minor changes here and there that some images have no updates for. This is very rare in the video as most I took different images myself.

[@joemama114]

Oh man the devastator was so neat, a big beefy go fuck yourself crossbow shotgun, with an extra big meaty go fuck yourself harpoon to boot. You could troll the fuck out of people with the devastator, didn't it 100% always knock down anyone you hit with the skewer? I remember it having guaranteed knock down on players. Also I ABSOLUTELY loved Rhom, I could play a whole game just focused on that region. The visual aesthetic was 10/10 for me. There are degenerate tribal on the surface. There's H R Giger inspired futuristic flesh tech underground. There's mutants and radiation and hot damn is it dripping in awesome.

[@XicorVT]

im i one of those who never understand why they nerf stuff in single Player Co-OP games like alot of weapons and mods rings neeed buffs please let us have some fun also using Nebula with Invoker as main class spreads all that poison Damagae to all enemies from the one that dies so Invoker is amazing for CCs

[@negueitchons5991]

34:59 THE SUCC 🥴

[@Collin93387]

Probably a bug, but just having on the self bleed ring negates the mod decay on corrupt savior

[@SheenShots]

I believe it is intentional although can't confirm. Sadly, it is not helpful for mod builds. But you can get the ranged damage to be quite strong that way instead which is good.

[@Collin93387]

Oh for sure yeah, for mod builds it's useless haha. I was just spending like half an hour after the update came out fixing my nerfed corrupt savior and that ring along with the infinite ammo amulet makes it pretty close to how it was before. I never use the mod, just use nebulas mod if I'm in trouble

[@AFCasey22]

space crabs being a is a good rating

[@SheenShots]

Personally I never use them, but they seem to have no major downside and can easily be used several times in a row. Plus they are easily one of the most unique mods which is a nice of course.

[@AFCasey22]

@@SheenShots yeah they're super unique. I like that I can spam them.

[@haniespanieldollis]

Its meh to get such an awesome weapon with a crap un-detachable mod 😅 I wonder how the devs can resolve this. Maybe get a ring that can take off the relevant attached mod. But I'm sure that would be a nightmare to program in

[@RubescentDragon]

space crabs doesn't count as a summon and thus doesn't benefit from summon perks at least that's what it was like back at launch not sure if it was patched or not

[@thewise_1one856]

Dis you not pay attention to the video?

[@RubescentDragon]

@@thewise_1one856 I did and all he does is give a vague explanation to what the mod does pretty much purely based on it's description and then proceeds to say "use it on your summon builds" and even describes it as "summons spiders" unfortunately though Space Crabs does NOT count as a summon in the code of the game so I would highly recommend that you do NOT use Space Crabs on your summon build as it will not benefit from it anymore than anything else would. If you want to boost the potential of Space Crabs you are better to bring Mod description related skills NOT summon description ones hence why I said that. He also doesn't clarify any changes that happened to the mod since release so I can only assume that this is still the case and was not changed in any updates

[@SheenShots]

Yes this mod does count as summons. Its been back in forth in the past which is likely causing the confusion. Here is how you can test: Soul Guard Ring: grant 5 total bulwark Soul Shard Ring: Grants 3 damage stacks Conjurer's Circle: Activates sigil perk Soul Link: DO NOT WORK although they clearly should for this ring Soul Anchor Amulet: Grants the damage buff They clearly count as summons, although considering only last until they die and don't seem to work with soul link it isn't the best Summon mod of all time although still decent since you can spam them.

[@RubescentDragon]

@@SheenShots ya I agree that they should count as summons that's not what I was concerned with it's just like you said though that apparently what it counts as has changed back and forth and I can tell you as a person who mained summons in my first playthrough at first release I can say that they certainly did not count back then but since as of currently they DO count (mostly) as summons (dumb that some summon effects wouldn't work it should be all or nothing) then I retract my statement thanks for the clarification

[@Tanubtanu]

This has been my main complain about Remnant 2, most good weapon mod from FTA got altered to skill. There is just not enough good non-boss weapon mod, I've been running Flying bomb trap and Healing pod for the first 50h. I have a heavy preference to non-boss weapons

[@PROTOBLUES90]

Doesn’t mention the ammo regen on cube room or that defrag is good as a team/support mod. Someone doesn’t play with friends, huh

[@SheenShots]

I did not mention them because they are mostly pointless. The ammo regen on cube room is not enough of a benefit to make up for it doing nothing else. And defrag is a terrible team support mod. The mod is bad because it requires a lot to make it work. While you can also use many other mods to buff your teams damage or support them. Yes I play coop, no I don't think anyone should ever touch Defrag in coop as it just does not do anything better than running corrosion or corrupted rune pistol.

[@gaminggerber4308]

I would take every thing this guy says with a grain of salt he seem fixed on very large numbers that happen once you should look for sum thing that does a lot of damge a lot not once a minute

[@SheenShots]

Not sure this statement is accurate. When making the raking I selected things by how easy they are to use, how much power they have for damage, and what they bring in total to a build. I am not sure what your are referring to specifically, but I would imagine it is with summons mods being ranked so low. Which is because they are just underpowered in the games current state. No way around it. They just don't do enough damage even though they hit a lot. it is all builds based. So the S tier mods here all preform really well in good solid builds, While the lower ones even on their best build are just okay. To each their own, but that's been my experience.

[@gaminggerber4308]

Im not talking about sumins that's easy with the turret and 2 meat balls that's all the damge you need from them im mean other mods

[@gaminggerber4308]

And the statement is very ture

[@gaminggerber4308]

O yeah this man does not know how to build

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

My man, you do not know how to utilize builds with mods. I can tell you that for sure. One of my strongest builds uses the tentacles for tanking. You're doing it wrong. Then you knights guard right after brooo YOURE DOING IT WRONG that procs melee buffs and legit can give free shield from standing still.

[@SheenShots]

No. This is not true. I am very aware of how these things work and how to build around them. Knights guard WAS amazing for its ability to grant shield with a melee mutator. THIS DOES NOT do this anymore. Just be aware that was taken away from that mod as well as the curse which I did mention in the video. As for root lash, tanking is more easily acquired many different ways so that doesn't bring it up at all.

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

@@SheenShots I use knights guard with spinning blade on a melee build. Between regen and shield and an ability with constant uptime that keeps me alive its pretty dumb to say its bad because it doesn't fit your playstyle. I am well aware of the changes and they do not matter for what I've been doing. Clearly you don't use your customization correctly. As for root, that and the bug summons for homing heals that attack before you even get to a point while also regen for abilities. I've tanked venom reviving a team because of this and I wore the summoner set. You said easily....dude you press your mod and walk which isnt even needed with the caps/duration/automation it doenst get easier than that unless youre fat armor with regen/stats unless YOU know something we don't. The fact you cant comprehend the utility of the root on apoc is a you problem and at that you prefer a single summon with a mod duration inhibiting further use showing how little of combos you utilize. I never said it wasn't changed I said its not a bad skill and to be frank on apoc I play with a lot of clowns who use the stuff you think is A tier who die when things get heavy. You tube doesn't stop you from being incapable and considering the amount of misinformation It may as well embolden it so get over your ego. Lets assume you don't have all the rings yet. Tentacles count as summon. I can use at least 6 at a time. There are buffs for summon numbers. That is 6 times whatever buffs you have for the mod, summons, lifesteal , ect. that can auto attack over an individual duration while you do something else if not spam more. Stop projecting your inability.

[@XmrcaptainbobX]

@@SheenShots Coming back to this i realized i had conjurers circle. Yet another reason the root is viable for a thoughtless mod spam tank.
