Today will mark my first full week at @gunfire_games as a Designer. Honestly, it's a dream job at a place with an extremely talented team and amazing IPs.

2020 has been rough but I'm excited for the future.

I may have been too harsh.

In the recent update, we made sure players could obtain 3 Orange Slices and a Participation Medal for playing on Apocalypse. You do not have to own the DLC, you just need to have the latest build.

Use them together for an extra buff! ❤️🏆

@SquareTableYT Sure thing, go nuts.

In #Remnant2, the progression and gear systems were designed to give players a greater level of control over their builds. Here's a recap of each major element:

The biggest addition to Remnant 2 is Archetypes. They give players an initial foundation to build upon while still remaining flexible enough to facilitate many different playstyles. Each Archetype comes with 3 unique cooldown-based Skills and a unique set of Perks which are meant to represent a baseline "build" (without taking up precious Trinket slots). They also come with a Prime Perk which is a game-changing feature that is only available when the Archetype is the Primary (first slot).

When Dual Archetyping, players will need to determine which Prime Perk they want to utilize, and which to forgo.

Archetypes come with the added benefit of being an easy-to-understand visual identifier for co-op. See someone playing Medic? You'll know they'll probably be more team oriented in their playstyle. See a Hunter? You'll should probably expect a more damage-focused playstyle.

Trinkets (Amulets and Rings) provide many interesting benefits. From damage to defense, health regeneration to movement speed, and everything in-between, Trinkets give you great control for fine-tuning your character. In the original game, we noticed that players gravitated towards the damage options (who wouldn't?!), so for R2, we pushed more of the playstyle-defining options to Amulets. We then created a large variety of "enhancing" behaviors for Rings. We realized that with all of these interesting effects, 2 Ring Slots just wasn't enough ... so we added 2 more!

With the added freedom of extra Ring Slots, players can more comfortably take one or two "quality of life" options instead of always loading up on just damage. Four Ring Slots lets players supplement their build at the cost of only 1/4 of their Ring capacity instead of 1/2. Of course, nothing is stopping you from loading up on damage, but you may surprise yourself with what you are willing to trade for a little bit of comfort!

Relics are a new addition which focus on Healing. The Dragon Heart from the original game is considered a Relic, but now instead of just the one healing option, players have many to choose from. Different Relics can change the way you approach an encounter. Maybe one grants less instant healing but offers steady stream of health regeneration over a long period of time. Perhaps one steals health from nearby enemies. One might even forgo healing entirely and grant a temporary shield instead. There are many Relics to discover! Finding the one perfect for your build and playstyle is key!

Weapon Mods from the original game are back! Weapon Mods are powerful abilities that are slotted into your Standard Primary and Secondary firearms (Boss & Special firearms have their own one-off Weapon Mods that cannot be swapped). By dealing damage, you eventually build up enough power to unleash the Mod effect. Weapon Mods can be anything from Hotshot - a Remnant classic that infuses your bullets with fire - to crowd control options that give you and your team more freedom and control on the battlefield. Activating Weapon Mods at the right time can make or break an encounter or a boss fight. Figure out the best combinations and go to work!

Boss and Special Weapons come with their own pre-set Weapon Mods. These are typically more exotic and themed to that specific weapon. Because of this, Boss and Special weapons usually have more pronounced strengths and weaknesses, and their unique Weapon Mod provides behavior unavailable anywhere else in the game. Collect as many of these weapons as you can, because you never know when their special Weapon Mod may come in handy!

Mutators are a brand-new feature that really takes your builds to the next level. Each weapon - Primary, Secondary, and Melee - has a Mutator Slot. Mutators grant effects similar to Armor Set bonuses from the original game. Mutators can be leveled up by spending precious materials gained from defeating powerful enemies. At max level, they gain a second effect that ties the whole package together. Mutators typically affect the weapon they are slotted into, but since you have 3 weapons, you can have 3 mutators at a time!

Last but not least, Traits! Like in the first game, Traits are stat bonuses that increase each time they gain a point. Each character starts with the core 4 Traits - Vigor (Health), Endurance (Stamina), Spirit (Mod Generation), and Expertise (Skill Cooldown) - as well as their Archetype Trait. While standard Traits are increased by spec'ing into them with Trait Points, Archetype Traits are automatically increased by simply leveling up your Archetype. Trait Points by defeating Bosses and finding Tomes of Knowledge in the world.

As an incentive to play multiple Archetypes, leveling each to max (10) will unlock their Archetype Trait to be used with any build! Even if the build doesn't include the original Archetype! However, if you use an Archetype Trait on other builds, you'll have to spend Trait Points to increase their strength. Keep the original Archetype to gain a full 10-point Trait for free (once the Archetype is maxed) or mix and match with another build... but spend some points to regain that power. It's up to you!

In Remnant 2, the power to create awesome builds is in your hands. There are hundreds of unique tools ready for the taking... but you'll have to earn them. Explore everywhere... check every nook and cranny across every world and every story... and then check again!

We are looking excited to seeing what you create!

@podcastingbob Bob's the man... used to edit my audio for me. I can't stand listening to myself. So it became his cross to bear.

@pico210tx Long story short: my dad died in 2019, I thought to myself "Life is short, I should pursue some of my other dreams" of which one was to stop talking about other people's games on YouTube and make one. By a strange series of events I got a job at Gunfire Games. Bringing us to now.

[TerraMantis @TerraMantis]

I haven't tweeted in over 2 and a half years, and I haven't uploaded a video in over 3 years now. Surprisingly, it doesn't feel like a fraction of that amount of time has passed.

Anyway, a thing is happening at the VGAs tonight. Looking forward to sharing more when I can.

[David Adams @DadamsDavid]

Been cooking something up for the last couple years. Finally showing it at the Game Awards tonight. So tune in. #TheGameAwards
