All Remnant 2 archetypes have a role to play in the game. For example, a Gunslinger can shoot down their enemies quickly with a high fire rate and lots of ammo to spare. Meanwhile, a Medic keeps the group healthy during tough battles. Here are all of the Remnant 2 archetypes to be aware of. 

  • Remnant 2 was one of the biggest games of July 2023

All beginner classes in Remnant 2

The beginner Remnant 2 archetypes include the Hunter

There are up to five Remnant 2 archetypes to choose from when you first start the game. Others will be available to you during the co-op campaign. You'll start off with the following:

  • A Medic that regenerates Relic charges by healing themselves or the group, in addition to reviving fallen comrades
  • The Hunter shoots down foes from afar with sniper rifle rounds. They can also apply marks to their enemies at a rapid pace and they're able to hide within shrouds
  • The beefy Challenger wears a suit of armour and acts as the tank of the group. They can let out their rage, which has a ton of buffs behind it. They can also cause tremors around them, dishing out damage
  • A Handler, who has a pet dog companion with them can help nullify damage, and the dog can act as a distraction. The dog can also increase your team's party output with an inspiring howl
  • If you preordered Remnant 2, you'll also have the Gunslinger from the get-go. They can increase their fire rate and reload speed exponentially with ranged weapons. It also has a lot of ammo with moves like Sidewinder, which reloads your firearms whenever they're swapped out

It's a shame that the last Remnant 2 archetype mentioned isn't available to everyone straight away. It's a good thing that you can unlock it later on.

Other Remnant 2 archetypes you can unlock

There are more Remnant 2 archetypes you can unlock like the Summoner and Alchemist

There are a bunch of other classes you can find as you progress through the game. You can actually switch between them during the campaign. They include:

  • Summoner
  • Alchemist
  • Explorer
  • Engineer 
  • Invader

With all of these Remnant 2 archetypes, you can justify multiple playthroughs of the game with your friends. Hopefully, they can run the game well on PC because there's no crossplay between each system.
