Remnant 2 has garnered immense praise upon its release for current generation consoles and PC. Serving as the sequel to the original Remnant from the Ashes, Remnant 2 offers a vastly improved gameplay system, exceptional graphics, and enhanced gear and weapons, creating an adrenaline-pumping RPG experience. In this action RPG, players find themselves in a post-apocalyptic wasteland overrun by a supernatural force known as the rot. They must navigate diverse environments, battling visceral enemies and acquiring potent upgrades along their journey.
In order to confront the relentless hordes of enemies that obstruct the player's path, a vast array of weapons and armor are at their disposal, allowing for an ever-increasing lethality against the creatures lurking in the shadows. These weapons, classified into various classes, offer unique utility and play style, catering to different preferences. Long guns are particularly favored by players who enjoy ranged options, providing greater distance between themselves and their foes. In Remnant 2, players can find a plethora of outstanding Long Guns; here are some of the finest options.
8 Huntmaster M1
The Huntsman M1 rifle is the embodiment of simplicity and versatility. With a effective range of twenty-seven meters, it proves to be a dependable choice capable of inflicting a solid base of seventy damage with no alterations necessary.
Equipped with a high-zoom scope, the Huntsman Rifle allows players to effectively eliminate enemies from a secure vantage point while remaining hidden. Obtain the Huntsman M1 from Brabus in Ward 13 or by starting the game as a Hunter class.
7 Widowmaker
The Widowmaker in Remnant 2 is like a bigger brother to the M1 rifle and outperforms it in various aspects. With an optimal range of just thirty-five meters, it may not be as effective for sniping.
However, its damage per shot is almost twice that of the M1, making it a great choice for engaging multiple enemies simultaneously. The Widowmaker still maintains its rustic Western style and is a powerful weapon that can make a significant impact when needed. Players can acquire the Widowmaker from Brabus located in Ward 13.
6 Chicago Typewriter
The Chicago Typewriter is a classic weapon that makes a comeback in Remnant from the Ashes. This assault rifle resembles the iconic Tommy Gun and is known for its rapid-fire capabilities, inflicting consistent damage on enemies. With an effective range of seventeen meters, it effortlessly mows down foes. The ammo drum, which holds eighty rounds and has a fire rate of eleven rounds per second, proves valuable in sustained battles. To acquire the Chicago Typewriter, players must obtain the Biome Portal Key.
5 Merciless
The Merciless rifle is an exceptional weapon that blends precision and deadliness, making it perfect for obliterating heavily armored foes or tackling intricate obstacles through sheer firepower and sustained damage. With its devastating line attack that leaves enemies in tatters, the Merciless effortlessly turns adversaries into mere slices of Swiss cheese.
Not only does the Merciless exhibit an impressive rate of fire and a generous magazine size, but what truly sets it apart is its potent bleed damage, capable of rapidly depleting enemy health bars. To acquire this formidable rifle, players can craft it at the McCabe Store once they have obtained the blueprint.
4 The Deceit
The Deceit long rifle in Remnant 2 is an incredibly potent weapon capable of obliterating enemies, including bosses, by utilizing its exceptional abilities to stack damage and reduce their health bars to dust.
At its core, the Deceit is a six-round magazine firearm that delivers a devastating one-hundred and twenty points of damage per shot within a twenty-eight meter range. However, what truly sets the Deceit apart is its unique ability called Ouroboros, which enables the weapon to inflict additional weak spot damage following a melee attack. Acquiring the Deceit requires the crafting of this remarkable weapon using rare materials.
3 Aphelion
The Aphelion appears as if it has been torn directly from a cosmic horror Eldritch god, boasting impressive abilities to match. This weapon is highly effective against a wide range of enemies and offers various ways to handle different situations.
When fired, the Aphelion exudes a remarkable sense of power, unleashing a sweeping energy beam that efficiently takes down enemies once it has been fully enhanced. Moreover, it has the capability to emit a volatile sphere, which detonates upon impact or if it sustains damage. Despite its rarity in the game, the Aphelion is unquestionably worth the effort required to acquire it.
2 Sagittarius
The Sagittarius, a precision weapon in Baldur's Gate 3, is highly recommended for ambitious archers. Despite being a bow and arrow, it delivers consistently high damage, although not as powerful as the other advanced weaponry in the game.
Upgraded, the Sagittarius boasts a swift draw time, ensuring that headshots result in instant kills for most opponents. Most notably, it features a captivating ability that adds to its appeal - firing a special arrow creates a rift in reality, causing a shower of energy projectiles to descend upon unsuspecting targets.
1 Nightfall
The Nightfall, a highly versatile weapon, proves to be a valuable asset to various classes within the game. With its substantial damage output and exceptional support capabilities, it provides an excellent advantage for players. This semi-automatic rifle unleashes devastating shredding projectiles. Adding to its prowess is the Nightfall's unique ability, "Dread Walker," which transports the player into the nightmarish realm, granting a series of buffs to both the weapon and the players, including life steal and reduced enemy accuracy. Although the Nightfall underwent early patches in the game, unlocking its maximum potential lies in crafting the right build.
Remnant 2 is available on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
