Ultimate Gunslinger Build in Remnant 2

The Gunslinger is an aggressive Archetype in Remnant 2 that excels at long-range skirmishes and efficient ammo management. This build promotes a fast-paced playstyle utilizing the Nightfall long gun, the MP60-R handgun, and the Spectral Gun for close encounters. To enhance your survivability, you’ll don the Fae Royal Set, as this build inherently lacks defensive capabilities.

For this configuration, you’ll want to select the Ammo Reserves trait to ensure you have ample spare ammunition, along with the Runed Heart relic to boost your survivability in Remnant 2.

Archetype Combo

The Gunslinger Archetype unlocks a range of abilities that craft an exceptionally accurate and lethal DPS character. The key skill in this build is Bulletstorm, which boosts your weapon’s fire rate and reload speed. This synergy is vital since high fire rate weapons often deplete ammo quickly.

This results in a frenetic gameplay experience without significant drawbacks, but when combined with the Nightfall’s Weapon Mod (explained later), you can obliterate hordes of enemies in mere moments.

Additionally, this skill pairs particularly well with the Gunslinger’s Loaded Prime perk chosen for this build, as it provides an automatic reload and grants you infinite ammo for several seconds after using a skill.

The secondary Archetype in this setup is the Challenger. This choice effectively mitigates the Gunslinger’s vulnerabilities using the Challenger’s unique skills and perks.

As a sturdier character, the Challenger enhances the Gunslinger’s defenses and compensates for its shortcomings in close-range combat.

We’ll be incorporating the Challenger’s Die Hard Prime perk since it’s the only one available as a secondary Archetype. Alongside this, we’ll include the Juggernaut skill which significantly boosts your defense and melee damage.

Optimal Weapons for Gunslinger Build in Remnant 2

Given that the Gunslinger Archetype is all about dispatching enemies and bosses, selecting the right firearms is critical to this build.

Long Gun: Nightfall

The Nightfall is a highly accurate weapon with moderate damage, low fire rate, and a limited magazine size. While that might sound underwhelming, its weapon mod more than compensates for these limitations. The Nightfall long gun features the Dreadwalker mod, granting unlimited ammo and enhancing your overall fire rate, effectively making it automatic.

Using such an effective weapon mod in conjunction with your other selections in this build allows you to unleash chaos on minor foes and major bosses alike. Furthermore, the Dreadwalker mod offers Lifesteal as a share of the damage you inflict, allowing you to replenish your health while you wreak havoc.

When paired with the Momentum Mutator, your weapon’s capabilities skyrocket, as it increases critical hit damage against weak points.

Handgun: MP60-R

The MP60-R is arguably one of the best firearms available in Remnant 2, making it a stellar addition to your build. The sole purpose of the MP60-R is to counterbalance the lower fire rate of the Nightfall without its weapon mod engaged.

Additionally, the handgun provides an impressive stagger modifier and substantial bonuses for weak point damage and critical hit chances. You can further amplify your damage output using the Hotshot weapon mod on the MP60-R, which inflicts a burning effect on enemies struck.

Melee: Spectral Blade

Due to the Gunslinger’s limited abilities in close-quarters scenarios, selecting a suitable melee weapon for this setup is essential. The Spectral Blade is an ideal choice here as it is lightweight and maintains much of your mobility during gameplay. Its minimal weight facilitates rapid swings, making it effective in close combat.

Ideal Traits for Gunslinger Build

The Gunslinger Archetype focuses on long-range offense and ammo management, so the ideal Trait must complement this style of play.

The Ammo Reserves Trait is a perfect option, as it provides extra ammo reserves—not only for your long gun but also for your handgun.

Top Relic Choice

The most suitable Relic for this Gunslinger build in Remnant 2 is the Runed Heart Relic. This Relic not only provides brief healing but also offers significant mod power.

You can leverage this power to consistently activate the Nightfall’s weapon mod, ensuring your offensive capabilities remain at their peak.

Top Jewelry for Gunslinger Build

For this Gunslinger build, the optimal Amulet choice is the Gunslinger’s Amulet, which enhances your weapon’s overall fire rate and reload speed.

As for rings, choose those that amplify your offensive capabilities, such as:

• Gunslinger’s Ring: Boosts your weapon’s reload speed and switch speed.
• Probability Chord: Significantly enhances your Critical Damage output.
• Wax Sealed Ring: Increases your Ranged damage output.

Ideal Armor for Gunslinger Build in Remnant 2

While armor doesn’t play a major role in this Gunslinger build, as most aspects of offense and defense are covered by the other selections, you can opt for any armor you prefer as long as it is lightweight to maintain mobility.

If you favor a combination of lightweight yet resilient armor, consider mixing parts of the Fae Royal Set with the High Noon Set.
