Striking an enemy, the spear instantly deals 125 damage and later explodes for an additional 140 damage after a few seconds, affecting nearby foes in a small radius.

9. Stasis Beam

One of the Remnant Best Mods is Stasis Beam, which projects a continuous beam, dealing 15 damage per second while applying Slow to the targeted enemy. By focusing the beam on the same enemy for at least 3 seconds, you can entirely freeze the target for 10 seconds.

10. Corrosive Rounds

Like Hot Shot, Corrosive Rounds imbues your ammunition with toxic properties. Striking enemies with toxic ammunition corrodes them, inflicting 100 damage over 10 seconds. Though the damage is half that of Hot Shot, Corrosive Rounds remains a solid option, especially if you possess it.

• Required crafting materials: Tainted Ichor, 5 Lumenite Crystals, and 500 Scrap.

11. Space Crabs

• Gather the necessary crafting materials: Cracked Shell, 5 Lumenite Crystals, and 500 Scrap.
• The Cracked Shell, a unique crafting material, can be obtained as a drop from the Primogenitor on N’erud. 

While the Primogenitor might not be a formidable boss, it is accompanied by a swarm of smaller critters during the fight. To prevail, equip weapons and skills that excel in AoE or cleave damage to manage the overwhelming numbers.

12. Astral Burst

One of the best crowd-control weapon mods in Remnant 2 is Astral Burst, serving as a valuable escape option during overwhelming situations. Upon activation, you release a shotgun-like blast comprising seven-star fragments, each dealing 35 damage. 

These fragments can bounce off walls up to three times, with each bounce increasing the damage by 35%. Mastering this mod requires quick geometry skills and precise aiming to maximize the damage after at least a couple of bounces, but once mastered, it can make you feel like a genius.

Acquire Astral Burst

• Venture into Yaesha and collect the Faith Seed.
• Visit Ava McCabe’s workshop to craft Astral Burst.

Find the Faith Seed in Yaesha at the Cathedral of Omens. 

• Align the triangle lever to the face left, the icons lever until the doe is in front of you, and the circle’s lever until the Ravager, doe, and death are encircled with the doe having two circles.

This mod proves particularly effective when facing enemies in caverns, tunnels, and narrow corridors.

That’s it on the Remnant 2 Best Mods you can get. However, you will also need the Best Starting Class as there are a lot of Classes and Archetypes. Moreover, making the best build also requires the Best Amulets and Rings.
