Remnant 2 Editions compared: All pre-order bonuses
The Remnant 2 pre-order bonus will let you play an archetype early. Here are the details you need, so you can decide which version of Remnant 2 to buy.
The next big co-op shooter is upon us, so you may want to know about the Remnant 2 pre-order bonuses. The game releases on July 25, and if you order this game before then, you'll gain a new archetype early - and it's pretty badass. Here's what the Remnant 2 pre-order bonus actually is.
- The predecessor to Remnant 2 was actually available as a PlayStation Plus monthly title.
All Remnant 2 pre-order bonuses
There's an outstanding Remnant 2 pre-order bonus on offer: the Gunslinger archetype. You can unlock it earlier on in the game, right off the bat. With a revolver in hand and a high fire rate, you can be the sheriff of the unknown.
The "Expanded Archetype system provides players with unique passive bonuses and stunning powers," says Gearbox on the game's Steam page. "Multiple Archetypes can be unlocked during play, levelled up, and equipped together for a variety of play styles."
A fun aspect of the Gunslinger archetype is that it can shoot multiple enemies at the same time; it looks slick, kinda like Red Dead Redemption. You even have a cowboy hat to go with the look. The archetype also has a revolver at its disposal.
Additionally, the Gunslinger has exclusive traits like Ammo Reserves. You can get up to a 100% ammo boost with that particular trait.
You can also Swift Shot (increases fire rate and ranged damage), Posse Up (additional ammo when others use your ammo box), Quick Hands (10% faster reload speed), and Sleight of Hand (using a relic will give your character 15% more ranged damage for 10 seconds).
- Gearbox is known for its co-op shooters like the Borderlands series and now it's publishing Remnant 2.
Are there any physical preorder bonuses for Remnant 2?
While there is a physical release for Remnant 2 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, there are no preorder bonuses with Remnant 2 from physical stores like GameStop, Walmart, and GAME.
- Remnant 2 isn't crossplay, unlike the Borderlands series.
