Remnant 2 Archetypes: The Challenger Class Explained

Remnant 2’s release is quickly approaching. Gamers will be able to buy the Gunfire Games-made title on July 25, 2023, for their PCs, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. As we already discussed in this article, Remnant 2 is the sequel to Remnant from the Ashes, which was created by the same studio and published in 2019. Although gamers haven’t reacted as warmly as the press has, this game has received a ton of favorable coverage.

The world of Remnant 2 is similar to that of its predecessor: it is a post-apocalyptic future when society is threatened by the existence of monstrous animals. The player will be responsible for uncovering the mysteries behind this invasion, either alone or with two additional friends, in order to clarify the situation and save the Earth from peril.

The choice of an archetype (or class), among other things, will be available to players at the start of this journey. Making the appropriate class selection is essential to avoid getting caught off guard as the game becomes more difficult. As a result, after discussing The Gunslinger class and The Handler class, we have decided to give you a general overview of The Challenger archetype from Remnant 2 while emphasizing its benefits.

Remnant 2 classes: The Challenger

The Challenger is a perfect class for all types of players who prefer mid-range combat. The strength of this class is undoubtedly the fact that it is a perfect combination of presence and damage that can be inflicted on enemies. This archetype, therefore, is perfect to act as a deterrent for all those who are unwise to make them decide to challenge it. If you are a player who is reflected in these characteristics, this class is definitely the best choice for you.

Thanks to what we just said, their perks focus on dealing a lot of damage, using thick armor as protection, and greatly reducing the damage that all adjacent adversaries deal. The Prime Perk: Die Hard is the cornerstone of their valor. The Challenger explodes with fury in response to what would ordinarily be fatal damage, sending a message to the adversary that victory is not on the plan for today. The Challenger is given a little reprieve to finish the fight after a protracted cooldown by Die Hard. As you could imagine, this archetype’s area of specialization is fighting.

By stomping on the ground, the first skill, War Stomp, strikes opponents with a devastating shockwave. It can easily disperse hostile crowds or stun tough elites thanks to the several charges at its disposal. The Challenger is transformed into an unstoppable force by the second skill, Juggernaut. It provides a boost to movement speed, melee speed, and damage while significantly reducing the damage taken, boosting resilience to impacts, and increasing damage output.

Rampage, the third skill, turns The Challenger into a merciless killer. It offers right-away improvements to movement, reload, and fire rates. They gain anger stats when they deal damage, and these stats increase their range damage. The Challenger enters a berserk condition, double all bonuses, after the maximum stats have been reached. For this reason, an endless tsunami of devastation is the outcome.

The archetypal quality of Strongback completes this class toolkit. As a result, players can wear thicker armor without experiencing the usual weight penalty and this decreases armor encumbrance. Any construct that emphasizes a balance of resilience and agility should take advantage of this unlock. In conclusion, players that enjoy engaging in close combat and overwhelming opponents will fit well with the Challenger archetype.
