The Ultimate Guide to Becoming the Ultimate Hunter in Remnant 2

Highlights

The Hunter's exceptional abilities and advantages augment Weakspot Damage and Burst Damage, rendering it highly proficient in exploiting enemy vulnerabilities and swiftly eliminating them from afar.

The Hunter class in Remnant 2 excels in long-range combat, making it a strong choice for players who prefer to attack from a safe distance. Regardless of whether you are playing alone or with a team, the Hunter's strategic positioning and calculated approach can help avoid close-quarter confrontations and exploit the weaknesses of enemies. Those who have experienced the early launch of Remnant 2 can confirm that certain enemy types can overwhelm players quickly. While melee attacking options have been expanded in the sequel, ranged combat still takes center stage, and the Hunter class is specifically designed to capitalize on the use of long-range weapons.

The Hunter: The Best Choice for Players Who Prefer Ranged Combat

The Hunter is undeniably the standout class in Remnant: From The Ashes, securing its return in the game. Unveiling its brilliance during the initial stages, this archetype possesses a remarkable starting skill capable of marking nearby foes and wields an exceptionally potent long-range weapon. Thus, for individuals unenthusiastic about facing a relentless mob of otherworldly creatures, the Hunter emerges as the optimal inaugural selection. By eliminating adversaries from a safe distance, players can effectively prevent themselves from being overwhelmed, guaranteeing a favorable outcome.

Remnant 2: Hunter Perks and Skills

Remnant 2 Hunter Perks

Deadeye: Damage Perk: Gain 4% Ranged Damage and 1.5% Weakspot Damage.

Return to Sender: Team Perk: Kills due to Weakspot Damage and Critical Hits increase Ammo drops by 25%.

Urgency: Enhanced Utility: Firearms receive a 15% boost in Reload Speed for 3 seconds after each kill.

Intuition: Valuable Relic: Utilizing a Relic prolongs the duration of all currently active Hunter abilities by 5 seconds. However, the effectiveness of this perk diminishes with subsequent uses.

Remnant 2 Hunter Skills

Hunter's Mark: Empowers the Hunter's perception by emitting an Aura that automatically applies Mark to all nearby enemies within a range of 35 meters. In this heightened state, the Hunter also garners a 15% enhancement in both Ranged and Melee Damage. The effect persists for a duration of 25 seconds.

Hunter's Focus: Amplifies the Hunter's sensory acuity, resulting in the application of Mark upon aiming at an enemy for a minuscule duration of 0.01 seconds. Through the continuous act of aiming down the sights (ADS) without shooting for a full second, the Hunter attains a state of utmost concentration known as Focused. While Focused, the Hunter experiences a remarkable reduction of 75% in weapon spread, recoil, and sway, accompanied by a 25% augmentation in Ranged and Ranged Weakspot Damage. Additionally, there is an extra benefit of 10% increased Ranged Critical Chance.

Hunter's Shroud is a skill that grants the Hunter increased stealth and reduced enemy awareness while moving. However, any attack or activation of a Mod or Skill will immediately cancel the stealth effect. When exiting the Shroud, all enemies within a 10-meter radius receive a Mark and the player gains the Ambush buff for 2 seconds, increasing ranged and melee damage by 50%.

Although the Hunter may initially seem like the most powerful class archetype in the game, as it is the only one returning from the previous installment, it is important to note that playing as a Hunter in single-player can be challenging if the player fails to utilize the class's strengths. As a ranged specialist, the Hunter may struggle in close-quarters combat and lack options for survival when overwhelmed. Allowing oneself to become overwhelmed and succumbing to panic will result in a game over.

The Hunter's skills and perks offer benefits for Weakspot Damage and Burst Damage, as well as adding bonuses to other skills and perks in use. By strategically positioning oneself, approaching encounters thoughtfully, and aiming for enemy weak spots, players utilizing the Hunter class can eliminate enemies without ever getting within 10 meters. Whether playing solo or in groups, the Hunter is a formidable class for boss and elite enemy battles due to its proficiency in exploiting enemy vulnerabilities.

Remnant 2 will be available on July 25 for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
