Story Highlights
- Remnant 2 has received a new update that aims at enhancing armor-based damage reduction and evasion windows.
- The new patch also implements various bug fixes while balancing weapon and enemy metrics.
Gunfire Games has rolled out a new patch for Remnant 2, substantially increasing the damage reduction & evasion values of armor pieces. The devs have stated in the patch notes, “We felt that the baseline Heavy Armor values (at approximately 35% DR) were in a good spot, especially with our recent changes to certain enemy affixes, so we adjusted the other armors to bring them up to par in their own way.”
These damage reduction capabilities were adjusted by five percent. The adjustment has raised the DR value of Light Armor from 15% to 25%, Medium Armor from 25% to 30%, and Ultra Heavy Armor from 45% to 50%. In addition, the invulnerability windows were also enhanced. Light Armor iframes were raised by two followed by a one-frame increase for Medium and Ultra Heavy Armor.

In line with these tweaks, the devs of Remnant 2 have clarified that no changes were made to the Stamina Cost Penalty. The only adjustments regarding iframes were for the two lighter Weight Classes. Beyond those buffs, several enemy affixes have been fine-tuned. Vicious and Spiteful enemy affixes have been reduced from 33 to 15% and 0-45% to 0-25% respectively.
Moreover, a handful of quality-of-life changes have been implemented in the latest patch as well. All unlocked Archetypes have been added to Wallace’s inventory. If players have unlocked any Secret Archetype, Wallace will sell them for all future characters. Additionally, the Damage Reduction calculation has been fixed along with Increased invulnerability time on standard Revive by 0.7s to give players more time to react afterward.
