Remnant 2's jumping system follows in the tradition of its soulslike cousins, in that it's, uh, not great. Dodge rolling and jumping are bound to the same key, and the jump is often contextual, only triggering when you're near ledges or elevated terrain. This can lead to barrel rolls when you want to leap, and leaps when you need your iframes.
Remnant 2 improves player survivability and quality of life features in new update
11.08.2023 - 15:33 / destructoid.com / New / New Update
Gunfire Games’ Remnant 2 did more than just improve upon its predecessor: it also established itself as the go-to option for gamers that are fans of secrets, bespoke gameplay features, and a remarkably involved procedural generation system that delivers plenty of variety. It also had a fair few balancing issues for the dev, Gunfire Games, to deal with, though, and the latest PC update follows through on them.
Remnant 2 on launch day overwhelmed its players with a wealth of content and a solid progression system, meaning it took a bit longer than expected for its problems to crystalize with the community. Issues with survivability were certainly a highlight, but some unexpected quirks with character archetypes came up, too, and the new Remnant 2 PC update released on August 10 alleviates a huge deal of these problems.
Not only has Gunfire now improved the game’s performance further still, but the studio has also delivered slight survivability buffs to a huge selection of gear and class passives. In other words, players should now find it ever-so-slightly easier to stay alive when the going gets tough. In co-op, specifically, Gunfire nerfed the multiplayer scaling value by an additional 5%, meaning that a full three-player fireteam will now take 10% less damage in total from all damage sources.
Another highlight from the full Remnant 2 August 10 patch notes has to do with a huge variety of rare items – or, rather, the lack thereof in many traders’ stock rotations. Gunfire claims that players should now find that most world traders – like Cass from Ward 13 or Nimue from Losomn – will stock randomized gear more often. Up until now, it was possible for players to never come across certain items exclusive to Cass, limiting their character build options.
Finally, dedicated players are sure to have already found themselves juggling several Remnant 2 character archetypes all at once. While the system is a great deal of fun, unique archetype unlocks didn’t apply account-wide up until now, which was an obvious oversight on Gunfire’s behalf. That, too, has now been resolved via Wallace in Ward 13, who will sell all previously unlocked archetype engrams during each subsequent playthrough.
Broadly speaking, it seems that the future of Remnant 2 is bright indeed. With three expansion packs planned for release sometime down the line, and patches coming in at a brisk pace, Gunfire Games appears to have got a slam dunk on its hands.

Remnant 2 patch notes buff player armor and dodges
Remnant 2 patch notes for August 10, 2023 are here. The new Remnant 2 update changes a lot of defensive tools in the co-op game, with buffs to damage reduction from armor and increases to the invulnerability on your evade making you a lot harder to kill. The enemy damage scaling in multiplayer has also been bumped down again, so you should have a slightly easier time surviving as we await the arrival of Remnant 2 crossplay.
