After a successful early launch window which saw the game shoot up to the top of the Steam charts,Remnant2has officially arrived for all players ready to get their hands on the co-op Soulslike shooter. The first few days of the game’s release have been helpful for those just jumping in today, as already there’s plenty of content available online highlighting the best builds to use based on which starting archetype players choose.

The Gunslinger isRemnant 2’s take on the classic wild west desperado, and spending some time in the initial hours of the game using the archetype can speak to the advantages it has over other ranged-focused classes like the Hunter. Not only do the Gunslinger’s starting weapons pack a considerable punch, the default skill that the class features is capable of instantly taking down tougher foes and has a quick cooldown timer even at level 1. For players that are looking to strictly be ranged damage dealers or even primarily play solo, the Gunslinger is a great first choice for an archetype.
