REMNANT 2 | Get Your Character “OVERPOWERED” Early On

[@BoomstickGaming]

*What starting archetype did you guys pick? Curious to see what's the most popular choice.* -BoomstickAlex

[@TigerW0lf]

I'm going with the Challenger

[@Riggs.X]

Now that I know how long it takes I’m Gonna start with the GunSlinger might as well that’s the reason for pre ordering ..

[@TweeZWSTH]

I’m aiming for gunslinger hunter mix build

[@LordDivine1]

Have no doubt about the game. First one was amazing, and even better with mods. Pre-ordered, so Gunslinger to begin with :)

[@davidsimmons4731]

Challenger and then dualclassing with the handler until i ger the summoner. I think tanking with minions will be fun

[@slaik3088]

just picked it up today and looking for general info, you're straight and to the point without 5 minutes of fluff added throughout the video. 10/10. Straight and to the point.

[@BoomstickGaming]

Thanks dude!

[@Latviešu_Amēlija]

Why is it a clown show🤔

[@GamingRobioto]

​​@@Latviešu_Amēlijat's awful, shallow, feels like a job, Blizzard have nerfed it into the ground, I'd rather go to work than run nightmare dungeons, classes aren't balanced, loot is boring, thr UI is terrible, it has MTX is a full priced game, the gameplay is either brainless easy or you get one shotted, it's a mobile game in disguise, it's always online, the added social features add nothing, helltides are boring AF after about two of them, the camera is too zoomed in, the difficulty is completely unbalanced, the writing in the campaign looks like a 3 year old wrote it, the sidequests range from bad to dreadful, controlling the horse is dreadful, respec costs are too high, there is only a facade of choice for builds due to the lack of balance, the same 12 bosses over and over again in dungeons, one of the least inspired and unvaried procedural dungeon algorithm I've ever seen, lying developers. I think that will do

[@Cdot0077]

@@GamingRobiotoyou know I’ve been trying to understand myself why I can never come to finish off Diablo 4 after I put a lot of hours in the game and you about summarised it perfectly.

[@alishalileh]

@@Cdot0077I finished the campaign a few weeks ago and quite enjoyed it. The only thing I really hated was the bug in the mission fury against fate which meant I couldn’t finish that side mission. Finishing the campaign is definitely worth your time. Just make sure you pick a class you enjoy. I started off as a druid and hated it so much that I switched to barbarian after an hour or so of playing. It was all smooth sailing after that. Once the story dlc drops I will try either Rogue or Sorcerer.

[@BOYVIRGO666]

Im gonna say, im glad to know that im not the only one who noticed that the door the SMG was behind was super nicely textured. I stood and looks at it for like 30 seconds.

[@spencergroce2022]

As a texture artist it was well done and made wanna strive to that artist level of detail 👏

[@rodrigoquiroz]

Hahaha I noticed as well, I was like daaaammmm these graphics are getting better by the day.

[@JoeSmith-mp2fn]

What made me feel op early was the toxic release valve amulet, found in the dormant n'rudian facility on n'erud. It allows you to do aoe corrode damage every 3 seconds by switching weapons, it hits through walls and has a generous range. It one hits almost everything and whatever it doesn't takes dot damage until it dies. It's not a boss melter but it definitely helps

[@Auxik]

I've watched like 10 beginner guides and this is by far the best

[@ethan007]

Totally agreed

[@Xeptar]

10:52 - The fact that you get both the Chicago Typewriter and the Leto set together feels like my character must of retired or died there. I rocked the Leto and Typewriter in Remnant: From the Ashes so seeing that made me grin big time. Unstoppable tank days

[@redfalcon8062]

Now that you mentioned it, it really DOES feel like my previous character died there. Like a memorial or something.

[@TheVocalTune]

Aye I'm not the only one rocking Havel's Alternate armor and Chicago typewriter. I personally prefer something more like and M4A1 Assault Rifle. I am hoping one shows up in remnant 2.

[@ilovehotdogs125790]

@@TheVocalTune that would be so dope! But not an old style m4a1, one of the new ones with a nice rail.

[@SapphirosCZ]

@@ilovehotdogs125790 In game lore, The Root arrived sometime at the end of 60´s and effectively ended science and development. So 90´s gun is extremely unlikely to appear. M16 maybe, but not M4.

[@NeverUseAnApostrophe]

Must've or must have, never "must of."

[@Malidictus]

To use Leto's full set, it's useful to also get Leto's Amulet. That makes a return in this game as an item from Reggie. He'll have it available once you've flopped 100 times, anywhere in the world.

[@g1llifer]

flopped as in rolling?

[@Malidictus]

@@g1llifer Yes. When your armour encumbrance goes into the red, your dodge becomes a belly flop. Doing that 100 times unlocks Leto's amulet for purchase at Reggie.

[@g1llifer]

@@Malidictus thanks!

[@ilovehotdogs125790]

@@Malidictus lol this game is awesome!

[@scarthebountyhunter5668]

[@lpcoolee]

Probably my favourite game of 2023! I think I’ve played like 70 hours of the game already; I knew quite a few of your tips, but also learnt a few too. Great video. Thanks man!

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

the new DLC in 2024 are massive fun! I just picked this game up recently for ultimate edition on sale that has all the new DLC after playing the original game.

[@THEUrinalCake]

The enigma is absolutely nuts. It positively melts all the enemy types in the Bloodborne area (I forgot its actual name) especially the fae angel things. It's insanely good for a secondary.

[@djpon-3346]

Damn things a boss killer if you build around it as well

[@StradhV]

It's too strong imo, it trivialize most of the game and makes all other weapons garbage tier.

[@THEUrinalCake]

@@StradhV Its only shortcomings are low capacity, slow reload and short range. I use it along with the AR and it's an unstoppable combo. But yeah I've been expecting to find an enemy type that isn't weak to its lightning and if there is one I sure haven't seen it yet.

[@asraiSOA]

@10:13 LMFAO. That's top tear content and editing right there!

[@monolithic7739]

All you need to be OP in the beginning is Challenger w/Berserk and Hunter class secondary for Hunter's Mark, Leto's MK2 and Chicago Typewriter (The basic b*tch AR works well until you get it). I used that setup and walked through the game on Veteran difficulty. With Typewriter upgraded a little, your abilities going and something like Flame ammo mod active you can hit over 1000 a bullet for an 80 bullet clip on weak spots. My highest is over 1400 per bullet with that particular setup and things like Probability Cord, Nightweaver's Grudge amulet and the self-bleed ring Atonement Fold. *Tip: the self bleed ring Atonement Fold can be paired with a few things for incredible effect.* Note that Nightweaver's Grudge takes some work to obtain: *> Nightweaver's Grudge* (+20% crit chance when near a bleeding target which is yourself) *> Siphoner Talent* (up to 3% lifesteal) *> Triage talent* (gives you +50% healing across the board which effects *all* healing you recieve including your Siphoner talent and Relic and negates the -50% healing penalty from bleeding) *> Tranquil Heart Relic* (gives passive 2.5 hp/sec regen which more than offsets the 1.1 bleed/sec from Atonement Fold and on use DOUBLES all sources of regen including lifesteal and passive regen) *> Hardcore metal band* (will give you 5 stacks of BULWARK as long as you're wearing the bleed ring, permanently increasing your Damage Reduction by 25% which also lowers the bleed dmg you take, further increasing your regen) *> Probability Cord* (+30% crit dmg). *> Atonement Fold* (+10% crit chance, deals 1.1 bleed dmg/sec to wearer) > Last ring choice depends on what situation calls for***** Side note, I got my 100% in Remnant 2 last week, just working on the Final Boss in Apocalypse difficulty for a certain Ring. This game is great and can't wait for more DLC. Awakened King was dope and the weapons/items it brings to the game are super cool. Favorite Weapon right now is the Sparkfire shotgun, and my favorite class setup is a crit elemental/status effect based Ritualist+Archon. Insane damage but getting the Archon is an ordeal.

[@Vader4499]

Thank you

[@prancingpiranha9092]

Man. This is the first video of the game ive watched since buying. Im at like 25 hours, and I feel stupid for not figuring out how to get your 2nd archetype. Great video. TY!

[@athroughzdude]

Challenger's trait does reduce encumbrance so the Leto 2 would likely work well with that, even as a fell set.

[@BoomstickGaming]

If you notice, I was challenger in that footage. You would need to pair it with accessories or an extra trait you can unlock later that also lowers encumbrance

[@SirDwayne]

@@BoomstickGaming People say they need the heaviest armor and also need to be able to dodge as well but I need not worry my face is my shield I do not plan to move only to tank and throw even heavier blows then my armor to my enemies

[@kellanaldous7092]

I don't recommend adding a second archetype until you've hit level 10 on your main. All your xp gets split evenly between them. I took mine at level 7.75 2 nights ago. After several more hours, im level 9.5, with a level 3 secondary. All I want is to get the permanent bonus trait so i can switch to another, and its taking me sooo much longer to do now. Also, its much stronger to be level 8-10 and have every perk at high levels vs having 2 class at low levels. Those perk bonuses don't get strong until you build up enough %. It also costs a LOT of scrap to pick a secondary, at least if you're buying the item, i havent done any if the hidden ones yet. You have to pay 1500, then when you take it to wallace, you have to chuck another 1000 on top of some lumenite to finallh unlock it. I did this rather than upgrading my weapons, which left me fairly gimped until I ground it all back up to spend again.

[@GuyGrey]

Thanks for showing the summoner and step by step guide. You are the first that explained this in all youtube vids

I love the fact they included an obtainable SMG at the beginning of the game just like the first one, I thought that was awesome!

[@oLaudix]

Finally guide that gives some idea of early game. I am so tired of everyone putting those super overpowred builds but never showing how to get to that point. And this is a problem with majority of games out there.

[@kiritimatiswan1986]

ive said this so many times and just said it again as i watched your video. im so happy someone else feels this way

[@Aphesia]

This is a problem with todays gamers you mean. You can just … play the game and discover it as you go. This is part of the experience. Todays gamers want every thing handed and explained to them and then complain that it’s a “problem” in every game.

[@Sam-nn9hv]

Pleassse let them add the ability to toggle on/off the backpack. It really ruins that kickass armor set

[@motivatedstorm3816]

Lets make it a community request to add the option in an update Most developers would if enough people request it Dead Space remake got the option to keep the look of an armor even if its an armor level lower than your current level because a lot of people wanted that

[@Sam-nn9hv]

How would one go about this? Reddit post? Do forums still exist?

[@deankelly5760]

I really hope so. They said in remnant 1 they would add that option but it never came. It kinda ruins the armour tbh so I hope they change that

For the Leto armor, if you warp to town, do 100 flops (yes, this is real lmao) in front of the old geezer who tells you stories and the guy with the walking stick, the guy with the walking stick will have an Amulet added to his inventory that will reduce your weight by 40%

Wish I saw this sooner..as I would love to mention some amulets and rings can reduce the weight of your armor. Bringing you to a heavy roll(which is still amazing in this game) while still wearing full Leto Mk2.
