Remnant 2 is the latest release from Gunfire Games and the sequel to the 2019's popular hardcore shooter that is now back with even a bigger world and more new features, inviting players to embark on a new nightmarish journey once again.
Keeping the co-op core of the gameplay, the procedurally generated worlds and dungeons are still a thing in Remnant 2 as well. With new character classes, more difficult enemy types, and more diverse areas and worlds, the game will keep you engaged for quite a significant time.

Pre-purchasing any edition of Remnant 2 will give players instant access to the Gunslinger archetype. This archetype is quite useful for players who don't want to annoy themselves by pausing the combat to reload the weapons or starting looking for ammo when a big bad boss is chasing them. This archetype almost gives you every skill that you need to keep firing without hiccups.
Keep in mind that Gunslinger will still be accessible for free by playing the game, but you will need to finish at least two worlds to be able to unlock Gunslinger archetype. Also, you will need to have a bunch of rare resources.
