Upcoming souls-like third-person shooter Remnant II is hotly anticipated, and fans of the previous game are expecting any crumb of information about the sequel.
To remedy that, Remnant II developer Gunfire Games posted a massive article about the game’s archetypes, which serve as a class system.
There is a more in-depth version on their Steam blog post, but you can read some of it below:
In Remnant 2, your starting choice matters!
While Archetypes still come with a custom gear loadout – consisting of their trademark armor set, three completely unique weapons, and their signature Archetype Trait – they also come with two amazing new additions, Archetype Perks and Archetype Skills! These new features are unlocked by gaining experience and leveling up the Archetype.
Yep, you heard that right… each Archetype has its own independent progression that unlocks exclusive gameplay features unique to that Archetype! So, let’s talk about what that means.
The game will have five types of perks: Prime, Damage, Team, Utility, and Relic. The prime perks seem to be the most important ones, as they will be the core of your playstyle.
Unfortunately, we don’t have a lot of info on these perks, as a lot of the game’s systems are still shrouded in secret.
Here’s a rundown on the previously announced game:
