The Ultimate Guide: Unleash the Most Powerful Crafted Weapon Mods in Remnant 2!

Highlights

Crafted Weapon Mods in Remnant 2 are essential for upgrading guns and dealing more damage as players progress through the game.

The Summoner class greatly benefits from the Rootlash and Fargazer Weapon Mods as they offer healing capabilities and the ability to inflict additional status effects on enemies.

For those looking to maximize damage output, Elemental Weapon Mods such as Hot Shot, Overflow, and Corrosive Rounds are excellent choices. These mods provide significant damage boosts and also allow for instant reloading, making them versatile options for different builds.

In Remnant 2, just like in the first game Remnant: From the Ashes, players have the opportunity to craft a variety of Weapon Mods. These mods are essential in the game's "soulslike with guns" experience. To acquire them, players must defeat bosses and collect materials from their remains. These materials can then be brought to McCabe, who will transform them into powerful supernatural devices.

Once the crafting process is complete, players can attach the Weapon Mods to any compatible guns they possess, such as Hand Guns or Long Guns. As players progress through their adventure and upgrade their weapons, these mods will become even more potent, dealing increased damage with each upgrade. With all this information in mind, let's explore some of the top Weapon Mods available for crafting in Remnant 2. We'll discuss why they are highly effective and provide information on where players can obtain the necessary materials.

10 Rootlash

Players in Remnant: From the Ashes had the option to create a build centered around summoning by utilizing specialized Weapon Mods, Rings, Amulets (which could be acquired independently or through trade), and various other equipment. However, this build proved to be less effective and practical compared to the other available builds in the game.

Thankfully, in Remnant 2, the Archetype system introduces a Summoner class that players can now start as. One of the best Weapon Mods to pair with this class is Rootlash. Firstly, these 'root tentacles' serve as Summons, allowing them to be affected by any abilities that benefit allies or summons. Secondly, each hit they land on an enemy will provide the player with a healing effect, restoring 1.5 percent of their maximum health. This significantly enhances their sustainability in combat. Lastly, the Rootlash tentacles automatically target enemies, eliminating the need for players to manually aim, as the Roots will actively engage enemies on their own.

9 Scrap Shot

Moving on to a more "ordinary" Weapon Mod, we have Scrap Shot. This Mod can be obtained for free by players after completing the tutorial in exchange for the Root Ganglia, which was extracted from the tutorial boss, the Root Mantis. It may seem like the inferior choice compared to the other two Ganglia options, Healing Shot and Concussive Shot, but its effectiveness greatly depends on the situation. In Remnant 2, the Slow Status Effect is incredibly potent, and Scrap Shot not only inflicts this effect but also ensnares the Slowed enemy in a damaging over time effect.

8 Concussive Shot

While the presence of a Stagger stat exists in Remnant 2, it is not commonly emphasized for players to focus on affecting their character's abilities or strategies solely towards maximizing Stagger. This is primarily due to the significant challenge of reliably inducing enemies to stagger. However, there exists a limited number of approaches such as utilizing Concussive Shot, which enables players to not only inflict substantial damage upon elite adversaries but also cause them to stagger.

However, the Weapon Mod's Area of Effect is unexpectedly extensive, creating a potential friendly-fire chaos during co-op gameplay. Hence, it is crucial to remember this aspect or, at the very least, consider investing in additional protection such as the Kinship Trait.

7 Bore

In Remnant 2, enemies may have challenging weak spots that are difficult to hit consistently. For instance, the Dryzr "zombies" possess pulsing purple masses located randomly on their bodies, which serve as their weak spots. When the Traveler successfully targets these purple masses, the zombies can be defeated with a single shot. However, if the shot is missed, it requires a significant amount of additional ammunition to take them down.

By using Bore, players have the ability to create these purple masses on any enemy. While active, these purple growths also function as an additional weak spot for players to aim at, although they inflict slightly less damage than a standard weak spot.

6 Fargazer

In addition to the standard status effects like Fire, Shock, and Corrosive damage, players will discover a plethora of other status effects to utilize. One such effect is Madness, which is predominantly encountered during the intense battle with the Legion boss in Yaesha. Once victorious, players can repurpose the Driftwood dropped by the boss to create the Fargazer Weapon Mod. This mod grants the power to afflict others with Madness, expanding the range of available status effects.

5 Hot Shot, Overflow, & Corrosive Rounds

The damage inflicted upon enemies at maximum stacks of Madness is not only considerable but also quite extraordinary. On top of that, the Fargazer Weapon Mod simplifies the process of applying these ten stacks effortlessly. All players need to do is direct their aim at the intended enemy while having the Fargazer activated.

While Firestorm and Space Crabs may steal the spotlight with their impressive abilities, the Weapon Mods in Remnant 2 offer a different kind of excitement. These mods, namely Hot Shot, Overflow, and Corrosive Rounds, enhance a player's gunfire by infusing it with elemental damage. Fire, Shock, and Corrosive damage can now be unleashed upon enemies, making these mods exceptionally powerful.

What sets these mods apart is not just their ability to amplify damage, but also a hidden perk that many players are unaware of. Activating the mod instantly reloads the player's clip, effectively allowing them to fire two full clips with just one reload animation. This added efficiency makes these mods even more remarkable, catering to a diverse range of playstyles.

4 Skewer

Onto a modification that players, regrettably, will not generally have access to until they have made significant progress in their initial playthrough, we have Skewer. This modification is created using an item obtained by vanquishing a boss named Venom in Root Earth, also known as the final region in the game.

Still, for consecutive runs, assisting in multiplayer games, or even for players who obtained Skewer early by joining a random lobby engaged in battle against Venom, it is undeniably a valuable Weapon Mod to utilize. Additionally, it is worth noting that the actual proportions of the Skewers appear to adjust in relation to the enemy struck by the Weapon Mod, which can be both entertaining and advantageous when confronting certain bosses like Mother Mind.

3 Stasis Beam

The Slow Status Ailment in Remnant 2 is incredibly absurd. It not only slows down the enemy's attack animations, but it also drastically decreases the speed of all their movements, including when they jump in the air. What's even more unbelievable is that with the Stasis Beam Weapon Mod, players can go a step further and completely freeze the enemy in a Stasis state.

And here's the catch - this Stasis state lasts for a whopping 10 seconds, and players can even reapply the ailment immediately after it wears off.

2 Firestorm

Firestorm, obtained from the Red Prince, has become the most well-known Weapon Mod in Remnant 2. This is due to its exceptional performance as one of the best default Weapon Mods, especially in a build focused on generating Mod Power. Firestorm offers excellent damage against single targets, pulls enemies in, delivers noticeable area-of-effect damage, and synergizes effectively with various Rings and other gear. The only drawback of this Weapon Mod is its potential harm to a co-op ally, but this can be minimized if the player utilizing Firestorm fully maximizes their Kinship.

1 Healing Shot

Ranked at the top of this list is Healing Shot, which can surprise some players considering it is one of the initial Weapon Mods in the game. However, those who are surprised are likely those who have yet to experience playing on Apocalypse or Hardcore mode. In Remnant 2, getting downed is quite common, particularly on the higher difficulties. As a result, players often find themselves hesitating to use their Relic in the midst of battle to avoid using them too soon.

Using the Healing Shot is crucial in preventing players from being instantly defeated and ensuring their health remains intact. It serves as an excellent Mod, especially for online support players like Medics, and is vital for successfully navigating Hardcore Mode.

Remnant 2 can be enjoyed on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC platforms.
