Now Playing: Remnant 2 – Introduction to the World of Remnant Trailer
Gunfire Games has retroactively fixed rewards and achievements that previously weren’t tracked properly, including “as many difficulty-based rewards as possible,” meaning it’s possible some are still not fixed. Players will have to interact with the World Stone post-patch to unlock their rewards and achievements.
Gunfire has said that there will still be future patches coming to further improve quality of life and resolve further issues, especially where Traits are concerned, but for now this is the game’s first major patch to address some of the biggest issues that have been plaguing players.
Here are the full patch notes, though make sure to check out the individual Xbox patch notes and PS5 patch notes to see what updates apply to each version.
Remnant 2 Console Update 1.0.0.11
–Performance and Crashes–
Ongoing optimizations to improve overall performance.Updates to improve hitching and potential crashes.Fixed multiple reported crash bugs.
—Achievements & Difficulty Rewards–
Retroactively fixed several achievements that weren’t tracked correctly.Retroactively fixed as many difficulty-based rewards as possible.
DEV NOTE: To unlock difficulty rewards and achievements, you must interact with the World Stone.
–Quality of Life–
QOL OVERVIEW: While we still have quite a few things we are working on regarding Traits and long-term grinding (for those that wish to partake), we wanted to make a few changes in this patch to ensure players had more freedom to experiment. Players should find it much easier to Respec and they should also end up with more Scrap overall. We aren’t done here by any means, and these are not the larger changes we’ve mentioned on Discord and Reddit, but in the short term, they should help to ease the burden or reconfiguring your build and experimenting with different options.
Increased Trait Cap by +5.Tome of Knowledge now grants Scrap and EXP when the player has reached Trait Cap.Orb of Undoing now has unlimited uses. Players can sell any extras for Scrap.Removed the Trait Requirement for equipping a second Archetype. Players may now slot their second Archetype as soon as they obtain / convert another Engram at Wallace.Removed the Scrap Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (1000 to 0).Lowered the Lumenite Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (10 to 5).Slightly Increased Scrap Gain from Breakables.Increased Scrap Gain from Regular and Rare Chests.Increased Scrap Gain when killing Aberrations.Reduced the cost of Bloodroot.Added all unlocked Archetypes to Wallace’s inventory. If players have unlocked any Secret Archetype (by converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram), he will then sell them for all future characters. If you can start with it, Wallace will sell it.Reduced the requirement to obtain Revivalist Trait. Also included Very Good Boy.Updated Nimue, Bedel (Old Vaunnt), and N’Erud Vending Machine, and Blood Altar to properly keep their items in stock.Fixed the Damage Reduction calculation in Advanced Stats. While this was a bug, we still wanted to make sure it was at the top of the list because it was giving players incorrect info.Reduced Multiplayer Scaling per player by an additional 5% (from 15% to 10%). This means that in 3 player COOP, all players will now take 10% less damage (5% less per player).Increased the chance that Cass spawns her special rewards.Increased invulnerability time on standard Revive by 0.7s to give players a bit more time to react after being revived.Experience gained is shared across any distance in multiplayer (previously 40m max range) and to dead teammates.
–Balance–
[ General ]
Reduced Vicious enemy affix from 33% to 15%.Reduced Spiteful enemy affix from 0-45% to 0-25%. This is based on current enemy Health.Reduced Thick Skin enemy affix from -15% Critical Chance & -25% Critical Damage to -10% and 15%, respectively.Reduced Hearty enemy affix from 25% Max HP to 15% Max HP.Increased Bulwark Damage Reduction from 6,5,4,3,2% (20% MAX) to 7,6,5,4,3% (25% MAX).
[ Armor ]
ARMOR OVERVIEW: We made a few tweaks to various armor types to give them unique benefits that were applicable for all difficulties. We felt that the baseline Heavy Armor values (at approximately 35% Damage Reduction) were in a good spot, especially with our recent changes to certain enemy affixes, so we adjusted the other armors to bring them up to par in their own way. Armor-based Damage Reduction is typically the easiest type of DR to get in the game, and due to its importance at higher levels, the lower-value armors were becoming less than desirable.
Adjusted Light Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 15% to 25%.Adjusted Medium Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 25% to 30%.Adjusted Ultra Heavy Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 45% to 50%.Increased Light Armor Evade Invulnerability by 2 frames.Increased Medium Armor Evade Invulnerability by 1 frame.Increased Ultra Heavy Neutral Evade Invulnerability by 1 frame.
Armor Evade Value and Stamina Penalty Reference:
– Light Evade (25 Encumbrance or Lower): 12 iFrames, 0% Stamina Cost Penalty.
– Medium Evade (26-50 Encumbrance): 11 iFrames, 25% Stamina Cost Penalty.
– Heavy Evade (51-75 Encumbrance): 10 iFrames, 50% Stamina Cost Penalty.
– Ultra Heavy (76+ Encumbrance): 15 iFrames (Flop), 75% Stamina Cost Penalty.
DEV NOTE: No changes were made to Stamina Cost Penalty. These are original values. Additionally, Heavy Evade and Ultra Heavy Flop have their original iFrame value as well. The only changes regarding iFrames were to the two lighter Weight Classes.
[ Archetypes ]
Handler Companion and Summoner Minions gain increased health per difficulty. On Apocalypse, they will have the highest base health.Increased Challenger’s Intimidating Presence Range from 10m to 15m.
Explorer Archetype
Increased the duration of Explorer’s Scavenger Buff per pickup from 15s to 20s.Increased the duration of Explorer’s Gold Digger Buffs from 15s to 20s.Increased the healing amount of Gold Digger Healing Fountain from 1.5 to 2.0 HP per second.
DEV NOTE: We wanted to make sure Explorer could maintain Scavenger longer between fights and give them more freedom while Gold Digger Fountains were active. We increased the durations by 5s each and boosted the Healing Fountain to be more enticing.
Archon Archetype
Increased Archon Havoc Form Lighting Hands damage from 28 to 56.Increased Archon Havoc Form Blink damage from 100 to 150.Reduced Archon Havoc Form Cooldown from 120s to 90s.
DEV NOTE: These changes are in response to bug fix that allowed Havoc Form Lighting Hands to deal ridiculous damage. We made some overall adjustments to compensate.
Challenger Archetype
Adjusted the damage falloff for Challenger’s Close Quarters perk. At maximum range, Challenger will always maintain a 10% damage bonus to All Damage.
Handler Archetype
Increased the Handler’s Pack Hunter Range from 25m to 40m.Increased the Base Max Health of Handler’s Very Good Boy Companion.
Summoner Archetype
Increased the Base Max Health of Summoner’s Hollow and Flyer Variants.
[ Gear / Items ]
Increased Restriction Cord Damage Reduction from 10% to 15%.Increased Guardian’s Ring range from 10m to 15m.Enabled Mist Step Neutral Backdash attack.
[ Weapons ]
Switched Aphelion scaling to Boss/Special Damage Scaling instead of Standard.Increased the Fire Damage for Shatterstar (Savior Mod).Reduced the Fire Rate on Nightfall in Standard and Dreadwalker Fire Modes.
DEV NOTE: Nightfall was dealing far more damage than other weapons in both modes (almost 20% more w/ Dreadwalker active compared to other guns with their Mod active). When considering damage and the Mod ability (harder to hit, life siphon, and fire rate), it was pushing Nightfall too far above every other Long Gun. It now sits closer in line with other high-damage weapons.
Reduced the AOE Burst Damage of Enigma’s Overload Application from 40 to 30.Reduced the Subsequent Tether Damage of Enigma Primary Fire from 75% to 65%.Reduced the Magazine Capacity of Enigma from 30 to 25.Increased the total Reserve Capacity of Enigma from 120 to 125.
DEV NOTE: Enigma was performing too far above our goal for AOE clear, so a few adjustments were made. There is still an issue with it ignoring Armor which will be addressed in the future. However, when that happens, we will reevaluate the numbers.
[ Enemies ]
Adjusted downtime and overall combat flow for Annihilation.Adjusted Annihilation Mine behavior on Survivor difficulty.Reduced damage on Nightweaver’s grab attacks (Wall and Lunge).Adjusted the hitbox of Magister Dullain’s tongue attack to better match the visuals.
[ Multiplayer ]
Reduced incoming damage in Multiplayer from 25% per additional player to 15% per player.
