 https://twitter.com/Remnant_Game/status/1138159481303556097 Remnant: From the Ashes Q: Is this just Dark Souls with guns? A: Probably, I haven't actually played Dark Souls! Platforms: PC, Xbone, PS4 Release Date August 20, 2019 - Preorders now! What the hell is this game? Remnant is a 3rd person Co-Op (Up to 3 players, or singleplayer) shooter / RPG / souls-like set in a post apocalyptic world. A force known as "The Root" has taken over Earth sometime in the 1960's. You will go around 4 worlds (including Earth) to fight the root, collect new cash + prizes, take down boss monsters, and build up your character. All the zones are dynamically generated, so no two playthroughs will be exactly alike. You will have to manage both your health and stamina in combat to be effective, and the enemies are fairly punishing. (Perhaps not quite as much as souls) This video does a much better job explaining this game than I will do ITT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m4EvxJaZARk This is another good video recently released which walks through a lot of the mechanics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQIBtDJMwZs Archetypes  Remnant has 3 archetypes to pick from, the devs have stated that your choice of archetype doesn't force you necessarily into any playstyle. The differences are primarily cosmetic and starting equipment, however some may be better suited to certain playstyles, especially right out of the gate. The full skill tree isn't known 100% yet - but they generally follow the following patterns: Scrapper (Melee) Ex-Cultist (Support) Hunter (Ranged) Loot  Remnant has three weapon slots, a melee, a handgun, and a long gun. You also get 6 equipment slots: Head, torso, feet, rings (2), and neck. Loot is randomized, however don't expect the pinata's of Diablo III or Borderlands - most of the loot you find will be scrap which serves as the game currency of sort. You will also be looting gun mods which serve as the primary element of your character build. (more on this later) You will also find components to craft some sick rear end guns! Dynamic Generation  The world of Remnant is dynamically generated. This includes the level layout, the loot, the enemies, and the bosses for each world. Think Diablo or Warframe. You won't know what world boss you are going to get on a play through - nor can you anticipate what kind of minibosses might be in your way or what modifiers they may come with. This will keep the game feeling fresh, as you will certainly be returning to worlds for specific components and other loot. As an example, your world may spawn with an event which unlocks a trait. You may not find this trait useful, but your friend who has obsessively built his Scrapper around hitting people with a radiator hammer needs it badly - he can drop in to your world, do the event with you, and walk away with the trait that never showed in his world. Gun mods  Gun mods can be found throughout the world and slotted in any weapon with an open slot. Some special weapons will have a mod baked into the slot by default. As the weapon deals damage, the mod will "charge" and then be available for use, some can hold more than one charge. Mods serve as "spells" essentially and have a wide array of effects such as an AoE heal, summoning of an undead Jigglypuff, growing thorns on your body, damage absorbing shields, teleporting ahead of you, or summoning a tentacle from the ground to slap your enemies. It will be important to decide when / where to execute the fully charged mods. Mixing these mods with your traits defines your character's build and your role within the group. For example: You slot your shotgun with a mod which gives you thorns, causing melee attackers to take damage. You unload you shotty until the mod is ready, then you turn on your thorns. You whip out your radiator hammer and go to town! There will be traits focused on increasing the rate at which the mods charge, as well as (potentially) how powerful they are or how long they last. Co-Op and Singleplayer Here are some straight up facts:
Traits  Every character gains access to traits points as they level up. Traits unlock by performing feats and discovering secrets as you play through the game. For example, you might get a world which has a bandit boss. Entering his arena in a certain way and choosing alternate dialog options will trigger a fight to the death between you and a friend. Whoever wins get's a trait for bonus back damage! Melee, iFrames, Stamina and YOU!
Melee combat in Remnant follows an "A B C" pattern - meaning your weapon will swing in a preset rhythm when you press the attack button in succession. In Remnant, you must be aiming your gun down sights to shoot - so when you press the attack button without ADS you will automatically switch to melee. This gives melee combat a smooth feel when you transition to and from range. When you lightly tap the melee button, you will perform a fast attack, when you hold it down you will perform a heavy attack (still following the ABC pattern). You can also charge (hold) a melee attack and wait for the enemy to come to you - or charge them with a maniacal sprint attack. Stringing together the appropriate combo will be critical to ensuring your radiator maul connects to the enemy skull the way you want it to. A directionless dodge will give you a chance to short circuit the ABC rhythm and jump directly to "C" for a stunning riposte which will impress all your friends. Stamina and iFrames Stamina management in Remnant will be important, even if you don't go for any melee combat. Any roll, dodge, or sprint will consume stamina. Dodging is extremely important as it gives you iFrames - which is short for "invulnerability frames." During the dodge you will take 0 damage, so it's important to time the dodge correctly. Mashing dodge in a direction will roll your character out of harms way for a few glorious iFrames. If you don't hit a direction, you will hop backward just a bit and set your melee to "C" as noted above. How heavy your armor is will influence your dodging and iFrames. There appears to be 4 tiers of dodging based on the the armor weight you have on ranging from "graceful Legolas like ground roll" to "stumble awkwardly because I am dressed with spare tires and rebar" and "literally bellyflop because I am wearing heavy construction equipment. Worlds The lore and worlds of Remnant can be discovered and learned as you play through the game. (or completely ignored, as many players elect to do to disservice themselves) The root came to destroy earth in / around the late 60's. The game takes place roughly 80 years later. Rhom was also invaded by the root, but it appears the denizens of that planet successfully expunged the root though some means. (nuclear hellfire) Yaesha *appears* to be unaffected.
The base of operations and launch point. Crafting, shopping, and world traveling happens here. Earth Good old Earth - except the root came in around 1962 and now everything is hosed as a football bat. Have fun! Rhom Desert planet complete with floating skulls, radioactive beehive monsters, burned out cities, you name it! Yaesha Full of angry goatmonkeys who want to kill you. Excellent scenery. Corsus "Hive minds have failed every time they have been tried" - a concerned citizen Bosses Bosses come in two flavors: Dungeon Bosses and World Bosses. Dungeon bosses are minibosses you randomly encounter in the worlds. They may be event triggered or show up randomly. Each will come with random modifiers like "extra big rear end in a top hat." World bosses are the big baddies at the end of the world, and you won't know which one you're going to get from the available pool. Again, both are dynamically generated, so you never know where, when, or what boss is about to be thrown at your face. Every boss drops a unique item for crafting - and some have secret ways to murder them which give different, hidden items! Someone did an infographic better than my entire op.

So I gleaned some more info on the traits and how to unlock them. I was concerned that it would be a "reload your shotgun 100000 times" type thing - but a dev stream informed me better. In the one they showed, the map had several totems / shrines throughout the level. This was dynamically generated and wouldn't necessarily be there on any given playthrough. If you destroyed the shrine, it would call up a challenging miniboss monster (who looked to be a big rear end in a top hat) to fight you. If you destroyed all the shrines and killed the miniboss (who ducks out and reappears at the next one) then you unlock the skill.

Updated info on Melee, iFrames, Dodging, reformatted some, and pre-ordered the game for myself. Hoping to get some more info soon - devs said they would be streaming in the coming weeks leading to launch. I would love to see a weapon / mod list or a list of unlockable traits.

My melee build:
Alternate style: swap root circlet for devouring loop, use Akari set and catalyst perk. Do fancy dodges and watch some very funny numbers hit the screen. This doesn't work as well co-op because you need a moment to do the Akari acrobatics and co-op gets too hectic to take that time every mob. e: Petrified maul is 100% required for just about any melee build. It out damages every other melee, does AoE sweeps on every hit, and deals extra bonus damage. Leech ember is based on damage dealt, so you'll find that Petrified maul regens as much HP as using Riven with the leech ember stacked. The only other weapons that can compete for damage output might be a fully charged up forgotten harpoon or Voice of the tempest - but spears are very clunky to use and are only good 1v1. You want to be a trash plowing machine. Tinfoil Papercut fucked around with this message at 15:49 on Aug 25, 2019 |

Tollymain posted:w the way scaling works, you basically want to keep all the gear you're using at roughly the same upgrade level, looks like? Yes, it scales to your highest. Try to keep all armor and weapons you're using about even - which you will want to do anyway because the iron type you find will scale up as well. If you underlevel something by a lot, you will have a harder time finding the lower tier iron to upgrade it and be forced to buy it from vendors.

Another build which is about to be nerfed but should still be very powerful:
The idea here is that you "pre-charge" the beam rifle by unloading your SMG into a trash mob. This will quickly build up your Radiant stacks, when combined with Braided thorns you will have a very high crit chance and proc devouring constantly. Quickly switch to your beam rifle and unload for insane damage. (Sleight of hand works well) For bosses or harder enemies, pop hunter's and hot shots for the extra crit and extra elemental to each shot. Hot shots has the extra cool effect of turning the beam rifle's beam into a fire stream.

Just so you can see how bad the math is on devouring now: Devouring description leaves a bit to be desired - but what it does is do 300% of your crit damage when it procs. So if you have 100% bonus crit damage (2x damage on a regular crit), devouring will do 3x THAT number (so 6x damage on a devouring crit) which is really nice. This interacted with Catalyst (now changed) so your chance for a devouring crit was 20%. So let's take the following for numbers to see what they just did to it: Damage (base): 1 Crit chance: 25% Crit damage: 100% Catalyst: Maxed (15%) Without Devouring: 75 Regular hits: 75 damage 25 regular crits: 50 damage TOTAL: 125 Damage Pre-Nerf Devouring In 100 hits: 75 regular hits: 75 damage 20 regular crits: 40 damage (2x damage) 5 Devouring crits: 30 damage (6x damage) TOTAL: 145 Damage (16% increase over baseline) Nerfed Devouring In 100 hits 75 regular hits: 75 damage 23.75 regular crits: 47.5 damage (2x damage) 1.25 devouring crits: 7.5 damage (6x damage) TOTAL: 130 Damage (4% increase over baseline) Even with new Akari set buffs up: In 100 hits 95 regular crits: 190 damage 5 devouring crits: 30 damage TOTAL: 220 Damage (compared to 200 damage without Devouring- we're talking less than a 10% increase at 100% crit chance) Tinfoil Papercut fucked around with this message at 12:04 on Aug 30, 2019 |

The volume of adds is generally throttled to how many people are in the game, as a solo player you won't be getting that many. Some players have a real hard spot with the trash mobs showing up during a lot of boss encounters. There are ways to deal with them easily such as using rattle weed, a minion summon, several gun mods which wipe them out quickly, or being a melee spec and smashing their face in for some easy HP. One of the hardest (the hardest?) fights in the game, the Corvus boss, has "adds" which are 1 HP balls of light you need to shoot. As a solo player, they spawn only on one side of the arena where as 2 or 3 players it spawns them on both and in greater numbers. This fight is much easier to solo. A lot of people also find the final boss easier to solo.

Final boss is easier solo because you have to rely on other people to make the fight work when in co-op. I generally find that if you're having trouble with boss adds, you aren't moving around enough. Most can't hit you if you run, stop quickly to shoot, and then resume running. This might not be practical depending on your build - but I find that people complain about the adds way too much for how easy they are to deal with in almost all of the fights.

I've upgraded my weapons as much as I can but everything still takes way too many hits to down for as frequent, fast and strong as they are, and the absolute peak of poo poo game design is slogging through a swamp fighting armored dog monsters that travel invincibly through the ground until they're right up in your face; only for like four grapple zombies to literally spawn right behind you. Because that's a constant. This world sucks, and Rhom wasn't much better. Go back and kill the undying king to skip to the next world. Don't forget your simulacrum which should have been in the first swamp area before the boss.
