Combat in Remnant 2 is covered on this page, including the basic and advanced combat mechanics helpful in advancing through the game. Remnant: From the Ashes featured many difficult Enemy and Boss encounters, where being familiar with the combat played a big role in completing them. Expect this to be the same case for Remnant 2. The page will provide more general information on Combat and will be updated once the game has been released.
Remnant 2 Combat
Health Bar in Remnant 2
The Health Bar represents the overall health of players. It will get lower and lower as they receive damage. When it is completely empty, the character is dead, and players will be taken to the last visited checkpoint.
In Remnant 2, Gunfire Games have implemented a grey health system. This is when players get damaged in combat, half of the damage they get will convert into grey health. What this means is that players can recover that portion of their health naturally over time, or lean into Builds that benefit the grey health system.
Players can find the health bar at the lower part of the screen.
Melee Playstyle in Remnant 2
There has been a huge focus to having more melee weapons and melee playstyles in Remnant 2 as new melee weapons will be added to the game. With the new weapons come new enhancement mechanism, alongside the Modification Slot, there will also be a Mutator Slot.
Gunfire Games have greatly improved the melee combat style. They've not only added more melee weapons, but also new melee types, melee attack animations, as well as dedicated traits to melee weapon wielding archetypes and more to cater to melee playstyles.
In addition, there are many new revamped weapons that players can choose at the start of the game, and more to find when exploring. This gives the players options to choose the weapons according to your playstyles.
Boss Combat in Remnant 2
A new feature with the boss fights is that it will be more focused on the mechanics and phases on how the boss engages with the players. That being said players will need to learn their move set and attack patterns and counter the attacks, instead of having the players get overwhelmed and get defeated by the exterior forces such as a mob of enemies.
Stamina Bar in Remnant 2
The Stamina Bar is the visual representation of the total amount of it players possess. Performing certain actions during combat, such as dodging, will start draining the bar.
Players will not have to worry about losing stamina outside of combat situations. Players' stamina will only be affected if you are in combat and will have to monitor your stamina bar more carefully. This will give players a bit more room to think about where you want to place your trait points to benefit your playstyle and your character as a whole.
The Stamina Bar can be found below the health bar, at the lower side of the screen.
Loadouts in Remnant 2 - New!
Loadouts are a new feature added with the 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.

Suppressed doesn't prevent me from using skills, a status effect Malware does.

People still can't understand the difference between "it's" and "its" in 2023. Sad.
