Archetypes are the Classes of Remnant 2. In Remnant: From the Ashes, starting archetypes only affected what your starting gear looked like, but each could evolve into the same end-game archetypes. This has been changed for Remnant 2, with your Archetype choice at the beginning of the game making a big difference in what kind of Builds you can create. This page covers all of Remnant 2's archetypes and how you can build them.
As you start the game in Remnant 2, you will be archetype-less, and begin with some generic gear, up until you complete the introduction, in which you will decide your Archetype after interacting with Wallace. Once you do, you can skip the prologue/tutorial every time you create a new character.
What is the best Archetype in Remnant 2?
There is no such thing as a best archetype in Remnant 2. The vast amount of Archetypes, Traits, Perks, Skills, and overall customization added to the diverse types of Weapons, Armor, Amulets, and Ring, available make each archetype a viable option for tackling Remnant 2's punishing difficulty. There are more archetypees besides the starting 4, and players can start a new game with them once they unlock them.

Loadouts in Remnant 2 - New!
Loadouts are a new feature added with a Patch released on October 27th. This allows players to create a gear preset and then recall it with a single button press, reducing the whole process to mere seconds. This includes Weapons, Mods, Mutators, Archetypes, Skills, Relics, Relic Fragments, etc. Loadouts will also save and recall Traits, but will only recall them if you have the Orb of Undoing in your inventory.
Loadouts cannot be used in combat.

Challenger
Close Range, Durable. hard to Kill
The Challenger in a way acts as a Spiritual Succesor of the Scrapper in the first game, Remnant: From the Ashes. He thrives in close combat situations and has an increased survivability, making him an ideal Archetype for the tank role while playing in party. By being mostly a close-combat based Class, the Challenger doesn't rely too much on accuracy. This makes Weapons that don't have a high accuracy stat ideal for this class. Franchise beginners, or Souls-like rookies can find the Challenger as the easiest Class to play given its durability and ability to endure damage before going down.

What are all the Remnant Classes?
Remnant 2 Classes Mechanics
Archetype Perks
Remnant 2 Perks provide passive abilities to the player There are 5 Perk Types, and only one Perk per Type for each Class. These passive abilities can be automatically unlocked by leveling up your Archetype, and each one of them will get an upgraded version as you reach the level cap of 10. They will always unlock in the same order, for every Archetype available in the game.(That order being Prime Perk, Damage Perk, Team Perk, Utility Perk, and Relic Perk). This same cycle begins anew, and in the same order, from level 6 to 10, but this time upgrading the base Perks into their final and more powerful version.
- Damage Perks: Perks that scale the damage output of your character.
- Team Perks: Perks that focus on providing buffs and other effects to your allies, the team, or yourself if playing alone.
- Utililty Perks: Also referred to as "Quality of Life" perks, these Perks provide small buffs that blend well with the rest of the Archetype’s gameplay elements.
- Relic Perks: Strong Perks that grant temporary effects for a short duration upon using Relics.
- Prime Perks: Unique and gameplay defining perks for each archetype. Can be considered as each archetype's ultimate ability. It is the only Perk that receives two upgrades. (One at level 5 and the final one at level 10)
Archetype Traits
Traits in Remnant 2 can be divided into two categories: Archetype Traits and Core Traits. Core Traits are common to all Classes, and refer to more general bonuses such as increasing AOE size, increasing Damage Reduction, increasing Max Health or Max Stamina, etc. At the beginning of the game, players start with 4 Core Traits unlocked (Vigor, Endurance, Spirit, and Expertise). In order to upgrade them, players need to spend Trait Points. They can be obtained by killing Bosses, finding certain books on the ground, and finally, from taking down Aberrations, which are special super elite Enemies that randomly spawn and have their own particular rewards. There are a total of 21 Core Traits in Remnant 2
Archetype Traits, on the other hand, are unique to each Class, and while playing as that class, they don't require trait points. Instead, they level up as you level up your Archetype, capping at level 10. Once you reach that level, that Archetype Trait is unlocked for any other Archetype. should you decide to switch Class. In this case, leveling up said Archetype Trait also costs Trait Points.
Archetype Skills
Skills in Remnant 2 are active abilities that serve various purposes during combat, such as providing Buffs and Auras, dealing damage, healing allies etc. These Skills, like Perks and Traits, are locked behind their corresponding Classes or Archetypes. Each Archetype has three Skills to choose from, of which only one can be equipped at any time. You can freely swap your equipped Skill while out of combat at no cost.
Whereas Weapon Mods require you to defeat Enemies to recharge, Archetype Skills instead work on long cooldowns. This means that once a Skill has been used, you'll have to wait a short period of time before being able to use it again. Making the decision of when to use these Skills a vital
Unlocking and Swapping to new Archetypes
Whereas Remnant: From the Ashes only featured 3 Archetypes, you'll be able to select from a wider variety of them in Remnant 2. You are not locked to your starting Archetype in Remnant 2, as more can be unlocked and swapped to as you progress through the game. There is no cost to swapping to a new Archetype, but you'll still have to level the Archetype from scratch. Regardless, your progression on your previous Archetype won't be reset.
To change your Class or Archetype, you need to have the corresponding item associated to the Class and equip it, replacing your previous one. This does not destroy the previous item in the process, only swaps it with the one in the inventory.
Dual Archetypes
After you've progressed through the campaign enough, you'll get the ability to equip a Secondary Archetype, essentially allowing you to multiclass. These Secondary Classes, will have access to all the same features as the Prime Archetype (a choice of one Archetype Skill out of three, a Trait etc.). Except that, you won't be able to equip the Prime Perk from this secondary archetype.
Based on what Archetypes are equipped on your two slots, your class name will be generated. This allows other players to recognize what you are using and how your style of play might be.
Progression for the Secondary Archetype is separate from the Prime Archetype, i.e., though your Prime Archetype might be at level 6, your Secondary Archetype will start at level 1 when equipped. Any Archetype can be equipped as a Secondary Archetype, allowing numerous Class combinations, and build variety. This section will be updated with more information once more is known about Dual Classes.
Players will earn the ability to equip a secondary Archetype when defeating the Labyrinth Sentinel at The Labyrinth.
AnonymousHUGS is not OP because of Hunter, nor because of rapid fire weapons, nor crits, and probably not even stacking damage in and of itself. The problem is two-fold. On the one hand the multiplicative damage it does needs to be nerfed the same way they did Challenger. The hypocrisy on that is ridiculous. On the second hand, I've noticed a pattern with a certain set of archetype combos. ANYTHING with GUNSLINGER is busted as hell. I really think that GUNSLINGER and especially the Bulletstorm skill needs to be nerfed. That one archetype outperforms every other no matter what you combo it with.

So many complaining about Hunter/Gunslinger combo being OP. It is not combo it self that is OP it is build meaning combination of gear and classes. And lets be honest HUGS build is just one of many OP meta builds and meta builds in every game are meade to do one thing and that is to be OP. So you dont want to be OP don't use meta builds. Using hunter/gunslinger class combo dos not meant automatically someone runs HUGS or is as broken and OP. It just means it goes well with his play style that he came up with that's all. Its PvE solo game first and coop second with no pvp in game. So why do you care if someone using some OP build? You dont like OP meta builds np dont use it make your own. You dont like other players using it? No problem. Don't play with them.

Gunfire just fixed a bug that allowed challenger's rampage skill to do multiplicative damage...cool...NOW DO THE SAME FOR HUNTER AND GUNSLINGER.
- Anonymous
Looking at some of the comments on HUGS I wanted to chip in with my two cents. While HUGS may need a nerf or rework it may not even be HUGS itself that is broken. Notice what TYPE of weapon every HUGS player uses? Rapid fire guns. Honestly I think that rapid fire weapons need a nerf across the board. They make singleshot weapons useless and contribute to the idea that HUGS itself is broken.
- Anonymous
While I don't agree completely with the commenter below that HUGS(Hunt/Gun) needs a nerf I do think it needs a power redistribution. Every archetype combo in the game requires some form of sacrifice of...something...anything...in order to make different builds work. What makes HUGS so busted is that it has too much "stacking" damage and utility buffs that all contribute to the same thing. Ranged damage which is the easiest type of damage to stack and apply to the enemy, on top of really high stacking fire rate and reload speed make this class way too busted. Actually it reminds me of how and why the Uchigatana was so busted in the original Dark Souls simply because of all the stacking damage you could combo with it. I don't want HUGS nerfed so much as I would just like to see the devs rework it a bit to not just be "ranged weapon go brr". Honestly even on hardcore apocalypse I'm rather relaxed when playing it because there is very little I have to keep up with compared to other archetype combos. As a side note I don't think Hunter or Gunslinger are OP by themselves, just that they are when combined. The only problem with Hunter...and maybe that would help to tone down HUGS...is that Hunter's primary perk is way too strong. I know this will probably get a lot of downvotes and honestly that is fine. People love to defend what makes things easier for them. But people like me want a challenging and varied experience and I hope that most of the "git gud" types would agree. Since part of getting good is not abusing broken stuff and wanting it balanced.

Gunslinger + Engineer = Barrelsmith
Gunslinger + Challenger = Mercenary
Gunslinger + Invader = Professional

Updated the page (took 5 seconds) to reflect "Archetype" instead of "Classes", hopefully that will help make it a bit clearer on passerbys. I Haven't looked at renaming the actual thread (may not be able to). Oh well, cheers

A new update to the game has made getting some of the trickier classes for hardcore characters without just starting as them. We know that if you unlock the class on a character then you can start as it on a new character, well now Wallace just sells the engrams if you have unlocked them on other characters. This was obviously added to be less frustrating for your second characters, but also helpful for hardcore characters.

Is anyone facing a bug that when you are in your character page. The game only shows up your prime architype and you just cant edit your secondary architype. The icon is disappeared and the architype "flag" behind my character shows the prime architype only while I can actually use two artchitype skill.
In my case, I use hunter as prime, gunslinger as secondary. Now the game only shows hunter as my class in character page while i can still use gunslinger skill. Which mean my secondary class can never be edited as the icon is gone.

For people like myself looking for definitive information on your second archetype, you do get to seamlessly use both archetypes' active abilities. On Xbox, you do this by holding LB, then selecting RB or RT.
I searched for this to be explicitly stated all over several wikis and forums, but found nothing.
The ONLY thing you miss out on is the Prime Perk from your second archetype.

So.... Does the Archon exist? How to get through that damn door in the lab?
Im still convinced the Archon exists, the skills and perks we were able to see on this site at some point really looked like real things, and I cant believe the devs didnt make a mod archetype. Maybe he's in an upcoming dlc though. Still that would be very weird, as every area has one secret archetype to unlock, except for the lab, unless Archon exists, in which case the lab has its arch too, which makes the most sense to me.
How to get the archetype if it exists? I feel like I found everything in the lab, except a way to get through the door with the red lines, so maybe the archetype is behind this door, maybe not. Anyway, there must be something juicy hidden behind that door.

this game seriously needs some kind of build saving system. like, unlock an extra build tab for every 2 unique archetypes you max out or something like that. there are soooooo many builds you can do and starting a new character is kindof a pain when all you wanna do is use a different setup using stuff you already own. not to mention relic fragments unless those or the total-archetype-levels-counter are already account wide or something like that.

There's no point in asking the mods to put back up the old information pertaining to unlocking Archon because the information that was available early on was a joke.
They were just references to the backrooms, one of the screenshots was of a crummy doodle of the Ravager on a wall and the player character picking up a Gunfire Lanyard as an amulet. The only thing in that wiki entry that was said to be needed to access the Corrupted door in the Labyrinth was to be "corrupted," with no specific instructions and a vague non-answer to go by. Chances are it was a goofy photoshop or some of the devs messing around.
The community hunt for this Archetype will just have to keep going, like all the other secrets that took time to figure out in From The Ashes.

I don't know if anyone has tried this yet but I feel like this is the best place to ask. To get through the corrupted door to Archon, do you have to defeat every Aberration? The color/pattern match up, I feel like the two could definitely relate.

You can combine items with Dream Catcher if you inspect the weapon in your inventory. The prompt is very finnicky and takes a lot of rotating. I don't know what you combine it with yet. You can do the same with Atom Smasher, and the Rebellion spear. I am trying to see if I can corrupt the weapon in some way to open the red door.

Found the Invader! Not the first, I did find a guide though. You need the dream catcher from Losomn. Between the 1st checkpoint and 2nd checkpoint in the horde room there is a hole in the first floor wall in a corner. Follow the path and it will lead you to a open area with enemies and a bulb in the middle. Kill the enemies and pick up the amulet off the bulb. Equip the dream catcher and try to hit the bulb, instead you will poke it and gain a new consumable. Quick slot the consumable and use it, get teleported to an alternate area with a boss fight. Kill the boss and get the wooden shiv!

If you combine the Medic and Handler you could help your friends/companions stay alive, but also have an additional combantant at your side (The dog).
Together with the Handler Archetype perk, Team Work, you can now revive people 30 % faster and take 25 % less damage and additionally with handler and medic you get -2 in stagger while reviving.
Not sure if it will be -2 or -1 on reduced stagger while reviving as the Medic's Relic Perk states it will only get -1 on stagger be uppon usage of relic and I'm assuming they go hand in hand since relics are used for healing and reviving .
Select Medic as a Main Archetype and Handler as second. This will allow you to able to get relics back regularly due to the Prime Perk the medic class has (Heal 250 health to allies and get a relic back).
Especially if you have a dog at your side since it will act as an ally, at least theoretically. But I hope the dog does count as an ally because otherwise it will be hard to use that prime perk if you're playing alone as a medic as there wont be any allies to heal.
You can also use the ability "Healing Shield" which allow you and your allies get a shield that lasts for 10 seconds and heal 30 % of their health. Almost giving you a guranteed way to revive any co-op person without using the help of an A.I dog, but still keeping the dog fighting for you.
It should allow you to keep your dog alive much better as well since the Healing Shield can reach up to 25 meters and you have to be as close as 25 meters to get the 30 % damage boost from the Handlers Perk.
So damage percentages from each class combined would be 55 % damage increase + 10 % critical chance + Dog. But if you're further than 25 meters away you will only get 25 % damage and 5 % critical chance, so dog is important, keep it alive.
Also when the dog is near the player it will heal itself because it's near us. So if that count towards the Medic's Prime Perk you will be able to use Relics very often as long as you utilize being near the dog since relics will be regenerated once you have healed an ally up to 250 health.
I think this is the peak of a support class as long as you can stay alive yourself. You might not be the best with weapons, but you are the best at supporting, reviving, healing and perhaps even distracting thanks to the dog with maybe Challenger being slightly better.
Anyways, hope to see other combinations below and the ideas behind them (:

I really hate the changes to traits, I loved stacking all the passives in the last game, and all your actives were gear based so it's not like you could do everything anyway. I'm floored nobody else is as annoyed as I am, this is a massive loss of player power.

So if I combine Challenger with Gunslinger and take prime perk of the Challenger , will I still get that sweet 100 % ammo reserve from the Gunslinger? Or will I get Strongback? Or both?
My understanding is that I get all archetype perks from both Challenger and Gunslinger if I combine them and I can take whatever archetype skill I want from either Gunslinger or Challenger, but I can only have one prime perk so I have to choose wisely.
Correct my faults please : )
The mods are angry that they will never taste cooch. It gives me life knowing this.
