Remnant 2 weapon tier list: Which are the best end-game weapons in the game?

One of the best aspects of Remnant 2 is certainly its wide arsenal of weapons. A direct sequel to Remnant: From the Ashes, the second installment is now available on all applicable platforms. As of July 25, 2023, owners of the Standard and Deluxe Edition can join those who have enjoyed the Early Access under the Ultimate variant of the game. In this scenario, some weapons are already outdoing others.

In Remnant 2, you must assess the weapons at your disposal. The enemies you will encounter can be quite difficult to handle, with bosses being the ultimate challenge. You’ll also have your class, or archetype, which determines your role. All these factors will decide how good a weapon is for you in its current state. Therefore, let’s examine how the available choices are faring and which will be the best end-game weapons in Remnant 2.

Nightfall

Range is your best friend in the game, as most enemies you encounter will be pesky. Without a mod, the Nightfall is a decent gun for you. However, it becomes an absolute shredder with the Dreadwalker mod.

It makes Nightfall completely automatic for 10 seconds, adds infinite ammo, and gives massive buffs to the fire rate. Each shot will also have a 10% life steal, which is never a bad option. Nightfall will help you clear even the hardest area when built properly.

Sorrow Handgun

The Sorrow Handgun is another classic example of a gun massively helped by a mod. By default, its bullets lodge inside enemies, but when used with Eulogy, they fly back. In doing so, they restore your health, increase your ammo, and cause further damage. The MP60-R, in comparison, is better at doing damage. However, the Sorrow Handgun’s Eulogy mod means you can thrive on limited ammo.

There are some other great weapons, but the two mentioned here are certainly the shining lights of Remnant 2 at the moment. For those with melee builds, the Spectral Blade is an amazing option. However, it’s best to focus on classes that help you strike from range.
