The Explorer Archetype is primarily focused on utility, excelling in map exploration and scavenging for valuable treasures. While it may not excel in terms of damage output compared to other Archetypes in most combat scenarios in Remnant 2, its value lies in its ability to uncover secrets and assist raiding parties. With the appropriate build, the Explorer can even tackle the toughest monsters in the game's most challenging difficulty level effortlessly.

The build utilizes the combination of the Corrosive Shot mod and the Twisting Wounds Mutator to apply both the Corroded and Bleeding effects on targets. Corroded increases the damage taken by afflicted targets, while Bleeding deals additional damage over time and triggers effects like Vampire Blade and Ravager's Mark. This combination boosts the overall damage dealt by all players in the team.
In terms of accessories, the Stone of Malevolence eliminates any downtime for Corrosive Shot, allowing players to have continuous acid infusions for their bullets. The Shard Banded Ring and Chains of Amplification enhance the Explorer's personal DPS, while the Encrypted Ring and Heart of the Wolf provide bonuses for survivability and mobility.
To optimize gameplay, it is recommended for players to regularly alternate between utilizing the Fortune Hunter and Gold Digger skills. The Fortune Hunter ability is best utilized during exploration, while the Gold Digger ability proves most effective during boss battles. Prior to entering a boss gate, it is advisable to switch skills and take a moment to rest at a checkpoint. Additionally, it is important to note that the beneficial effects of Gold Digger persist for a brief period of time, meaning players do not have to constantly remain near a fountain to enjoy its advantages.
When considering the secondary Archetype, the Hunter archetype is the preferred choice primarily due to its damage-enhancing attributes. When fully upgraded, this Archetype passively grants a considerable 40% increase in ranged damage, a 15% bonus in Weakspot damage, and an additional 5% critical hit chance. Furthermore, the ability Hunter's Mark proves to be invaluable, particularly in intense situations where the party finds themselves surrounded.
Remnant 2 is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
