Remnant 2 is Gunfire Games' third-person soulslike shooter where procedural generation means every campaign playthrough features different dungeons, bosses, and loot. The archetype system lets you dual-class two of 12+ archetypes for deep build variety, while three-player co-op scales enemy health dynamically. Each of the game's worlds — Losomn, N'Erud, and Yaesha — has multiple possible storylines, bosses, and dungeon layouts per reroll. The gunplay is tight and responsive, with mod-powered weapon abilities adding an ability-shooter layer on top of the Souls formula.
Resource management and crafting determine how quickly your power scales. This guide covers what to prioritize, where to farm, and how to avoid wasting resources on the wrong upgrades.
Crafting Priority List
The order you should invest resources:
| Priority | Target | Why |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Primary weapons | Biggest damage increase per resource spent |
| 2 | Core build gear | Enables your role's key synergies |
| 3 | Defensive upgrades | Survivability for boss fights |
| 4 | Secondary weapons | Situational options for specific content |
| 5 | Consumables | Temporary boosts for hard content |

Upgrade Path
Early Game (Losomn — N'Erud)
- Upgrade your starting weapons to functional level
- Craft basic defensive gear
- Save specialty materials — you'll need them later
- Focus on Merciless once accessible
Mid Game (Yaesha)
- Push Merciless to mid-level upgrades
- Start collecting materials for Nightfall
- Craft situational consumables for boss fights
- Upgrade build-specific gear pieces
Late Game (Labyrinth — Root Earth)
- Max out Nightfall — this is your top priority

Crafting Mistakes to Avoid
- Spreading upgrades across multiple weapons — Focus one weapon to max before diversifying.
- Hoarding materials — Use them. The game provides enough if you farm efficiently.
- Upgrading the wrong gear — Check our builds guide before investing.
- Ignoring Yaesha farming — This area has the best resource-to-time ratio in mid-game.
- Crafting consumables too early — Save specialty materials for late-game recipes.
Resource Efficiency Tips
- Use Adventure Mode to reroll individual worlds without resetting your entire campaign progress
- Farm Yaesha during mid-game for the best return on time
- Check the walkthrough to know when each resource becomes available
- Match your farming route to your build — some classes farm faster in certain areas
