Gunfire Games has released Remnant 2 update 1.000.006 on consoles and PC, and this brings a host of balance adjustments, performance improvements and more. Check out everything new in the official Remnant 2 patch notes for August 8.
Remnant 2 Update 1.000.006 Patch Notes | Remnant 2 August 8 Patch Notes:
Size: 1.7GB (PS5)
–Performance and Crashes-
– Initial optimizations to improve overall performance.
– Updates to improve hitching and potential crashes.
– Fixed multiple reported crash bugs.
–Quality of Life–
QOL OVERVIEW: While we still have quite a few things we are working on regarding Traits and long-term grinding (for those that wish to partake), we wanted to make a few changes in this patch to ensure players had more freedom to experiment. Players should find it much easier to Respec and they should also end up with more Scrap overall. We aren’t done here by any means, and these are not the larger changes we’ve mentioned on Discord and Reddit, but in the short term, they should help to ease the burden or reconfiguring your build and experimenting with different options.
– Increased Trait Cap by +5.
– Tome of Knowledge now grants Scrap and EXP when the player has reached Trait Cap.
– Orb of Undoing now has unlimited uses. Players can sell any extras for Scrap.
– Removed the Trait Requirement for equipping a second Archetype. Players may now slot their second Archetype as soon as they obtain / convert another Engram at Wallace.
– Removed the Scrap Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (1000 to 0).
– Lowered the Lumenite Cost for converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram (10 to 5).
– Slightly Increased Scrap Gain from Breakables.
– Increased Scrap Gain from Regular and Rare Chests.
– Increased Scrap Gain when killing Aberrations.
– Reduced the cost of Bloodroot.
–Balance–
[ Archetypes ]
Explorer Archetype
– Increased the duration of Explorer’s Scavenger Buff per pickup from 15s to 20s.
– Increased the duration of Explorer’s Gold Digger Buffs from 15s to 20s.
– Increased the healing amount of Gold Digger Healing Fountain from 1.5 to 2.0 HP per second.
DEV NOTE: We wanted to make sure Explorer could maintain Scavenger longer between fights and give them more freedom while Gold Digger Fountains were active. We increased the durations by 5s each and boosted the Healing Fountain to be more enticing.
Archon Archetype
– Increased Archon Havoc Form Lighting Hands damage from 28 to 56.
– Increased Archon Havoc Form Blink damage from 100 to 150.
– Reduced Archon Havoc Form Cooldown from 120s to 90s.
DEV NOTE: These changes are in response to bug fix that allowed Havoc Form Lighting Hands to deal ridiculous damage. We made some overall adjustments to compensate.
Challenger Archetype
– Adjusted the damage falloff for Challenger’s Close Quarters perk. At maximum range, Challenger will always maintain a 10% damage bonus to All Damage.
Handler Archetype
– Increased the Handler’s Pack Hunter Range from 25m to 40m.
– Increased the Base Max Health of Handler’s Very Good Boy Companion.
Summoner Archetype
– Increased the Base Max Health of Summoner’s Hollow and Flyer Variants.
[ Weapons ]
– Switched Aphelion scaling to Boss/Special Damage Scaling instead of Standard.
– Increased the Fire Damage for Shatterstar (Savior Mod).
– Reduced the Fire Rate on Nightfall in Standard and Dreadwalker Fire Modes.
DEV NOTE: Nightfall was dealing far more damage than other weapons in both modes (almost 20% more w/ Dreadwalker active compared to other guns with their Mod active). When considering damage and the Mod ability (harder to hit, life siphon, and fire rate), it was pushing Nightfall too far above every other Long Gun. It now sits closer in line with other high-damage weapons.
– Reduced the AOE Burst Damage of Enigma’s Overload Application from 40 to 30.
– Reduced the Subsequent Tether Damage of Enigma Primary Fire from 75% to 65%.
– Reduced the Magazine Capacity of Enigma from 30 to 25.
– Increased the total Reserve Capacity of Enigma from 120 to 125.
DEV NOTE: Enigma was performing too far above our goal for AOE clear, so a few adjustments were made. There is still an issue with it ignoring Armor which will be addressed in the future. However, when that happens, we will reevaluate the numbers.
[ Enemies ]
– Reduced damage on Nightweaver’s grab attacks (Wall and Lunge).
– Adjusted the hitbox of Magister Dullain’s tongue attack to better match the visuals.
[ Multiplayer ]
– Reduced incoming damage in Multiplayer from 25% per additional player to 15% per player.
–Bug Fixes–
[ Progression & Rewards ]
– Fixed multiple reported crash bugs and instability issues.
– Progression Blocker: Fixed an issue that prevented players from completing the tutorial if a crash happened when interacting with Ford.

– Players who completed Oracle’s quilt will now receive Half Quilt award as well as Full Quit Reward if they had not previously received it.

– Fixed an issue preventing Explorer and Archon Armor from appearing on the vendor. Players will need to first convert the appropriate Mysterious Item into an Engram at Wally

– Fixed issue where killing the Many Faces (Corruptor World Boss Golem) when it’s jumping between platforms would cause it to fall off the world in The Great Bole.
[ Misc Fixes ]
– Fixed multiple locations on final level where players could get out of bounds of the level.
– Fixed issue with player’s not receiving fall damage by holding throwable consumables or melee weapons in throwing position.
