Remnant 2: BEST Challenger Build [Skills, Weapons, Amulets]

Consider these options to enhance your Challenger build:

1. Hunter: Perfect for long-range precision, it complements the Challenger’s close combat strength, ensuring versatility.
2. Invader: Boosts the Challenger’s strengths with speed and agility, creating a swift, hard-hitting combo.
3. Engineer: Unconventional but effective, it complements melee skills with versatile tools for efficient room clearing.

Choose based on your playstyle, but for simplicity, Engineer is the top choice as a secondary class for the Challenger.

Choose one skill from the Challenger and one from the Engineer:

1. Rampage Skill: Enter battle frenzy for 20 seconds, boosting fire rate by 15%, reloading speed by 20%, and movement by 10%. Accumulate Rage stacks with significant damage, each increasing ranged damage by 5%. At 10 stacks, go Berserk, reloading and doubling Rampage’s effects for 20 seconds.
2. Heavy Vulcan Ability: Deploy a Vulcan Cannon Turret until it runs out of ammo. It targets your selected enemies; a second press makes it target autonomously. Holding the button activates Heavy Carry Mode. With Engineer Prime, supercharge your current weapon. Double-press to reclaim the weapon, refunding 75% of the remaining ammo.

For the Remnant 2 Challenger Build, focus on Archetype traits. They offer flexibility compared to the fixed Core Traits. Here are key trait options:

1. Untouchable: Enhances dodging speed for close-range combat.
2. Fitness: Increases Evade Distance for better evasion.
3. Fortify: Boosts Armor Effectiveness by 50% to withstand surprise attacks.
4. Swiftness: Improves overall movement speed for combat mobility.

The “Meridian” handgun in Remnant 2 perfectly fits the Challenger Class, offering explosive secondary firepower. It excels in close-quarters combat and complements the Challenger’s aggressive style.

Meridian’s grenades explode on contact, enhancing the Challenger’s reputation for heavy damage with a 4-meter radius AOE attack. Additionally, the Screamer’s high-powered rocket deals up to 200 damage in a 2.5-meter radius, reinforcing the Challenger’s powerful attacks.

To obtain the Meridian, venture into the Flooded Sewer event, which can appear in various locations. Acquiring this weapon mirrors the Challenger’s pursuit of strength and challenge, providing a thrilling adventure.

Nightshade, a unique melee weapon, suits the aggressive Challenger Class in Remnant 2.

Challengers thrive in close combat, and Nightshade’s swift claws deal heavy damage, making them a perfect fit.

Nightshade’s lifesteal ability adds a strategic element, providing 5% base damage as lifesteal for 5 seconds, doubling with a perfect dodge.

Obtaining Nightshade is a thrilling quest. Craft it at McCabe using materials like the Nightweaver’s Finger, Lumenite Crystal, and Scrap. Defeating The Nightweaver for the required drop adds a flavorful challenge to acquiring this weapon.

Rings are essential accessories for enhancing your build in Remnant 2, offering valuable buffs.

• Ring Of Omen: Enhance your evasive abilities with the Ring of Omen. It enables you to utilize your grey health section while evading, providing more than just stamina during close encounters in the Challenger build.
• Dying Ember: Lifesteal plays a crucial role in Remnant 2, and the Dying Ember ring boosts it by granting 5% of melee damage as Lifesteal.
• Blood Jewel: When using melee combat, charged-up attacks become more effective with the Blood Jewel, causing them to inflict bleed damage alongside their regular impact.
• Burden of the Destroyer: Opt for the Burden of the Destroyer ring, ideal for mid or close-range combat in the Challenger build. It reduces your weapon’s range but significantly increases its damage output by 15%.
