Multiplayer Coop and Online for Remnant 2 contains information on the various mechanics present when playing locally or online with other people. Remnant 2's campaign can be played with up to 2 other players. Crossplay has now been added to Remnant 2, a feature that lets players play together across different platforms. This page will be updated with more information on Remnant 2's Multiplayer mechanics after the game is released. For FAQs about Multiplayer Coop and Online, click here.
NEW: Remnant 2 Crossplay Now Available
Players can now play together across different platforms to fight against the root. Players can team up with friends or make new ones across different platforms to embark on a journey to defeat the root. For console players, the Crossplay feature is set to ON by default. Make sure that crossplay settings are in sync to team up with other players. If the feature is set to "OFF", this can prevent you from joining a game that has Crossplay enabled.
NOTE: PC settings that allow frame generation currently block the Epic Online Services overlay. This may affect Crossplay functionality because it is required to join friends in-game. A workaround for this if you don't want to disable the frame generation is to accept invites via the Epic Launcher before starting up the game.
Remnant 2 Multiplayer Guide
Balance your Team
There are plenty of Archetypes to choose from in Remnant 2, and when playing online, you may want to have a well-rounded team to face the Root. Try to balance your team and not excel in only one area, leaving you vulnerable in others. Balancing your team is a fun way to play to each players' strengths
Communication
While there are a limited a amount of emotes that can be accessed, as well as a map "ping" system, just like the first Remnant game, there is no in-game mechanism for communication. Players will need to utilize external services such as Discord, Steam chat, etc., in order to communicate with their teammates.
How to Unlock Co-op in Remnant 2
Players can unlock co-op in Remnant 2 as soon as they finish the prologue/tutorial area and reach Ward 13. Touch the World Stone for the first time and you will be able to invite up to two other players.
Remnant 2 Coop Loot Sharing
Most loot in Remnant 2 is shared between the group. This means that anything that is dropped and pick up, will immediately appear in each team member's inventory.
Notably, ammunition drops are not shared by default.
Quest items are tied to the host's campaign or adventure, and will not be retained when you leave.
Know your Role
Something equally important as balance is knowing your role. Players have to know their strength and weakness, and specially the role they fulfill in the battlefield. This allows you to complement better with your teammates, and know what is your part (specially in tough Boss fights), and what are the rest of the team parts.
How to join a Public Match in Remnant 2
Players can access and join any public match by selecting the "Join Game" option. New options will be shown to players, select the Difficulty setting in which you want to play and all available public matches in the selected difficulty will become available.
Note that clicking a match does not grant you immediate access. Players will have to wait until the host heads to the World Stone and revives them, allowing them to join the game.
How to Host a Public Match in Remnant 2
In order to host a Public Match, you only have to change your invite setting to PUBLIC from the main menu at any time. When you enter a Dungeon, your game will automatically appear on the "Join Game" screen for other players, and they will be able to invite themselves into your match. Note that you should receive a notification alerting you of a player joining. This is your cue to head to the World Stone to revive them, granting them access to your hosted public match
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Multiplayer Coop and Online
How Does Multiplayer Work in Remnant 2
The multiplayer setting in Remnant 2 allows you to play with 2 other players regardless of your platform. This is a cooperative game that will let you share the experience with your friends to defeat bosses and fight your way through the campaign. One player must launch the game from their saved load and invite friends to join them. Make sure that the game session is either set to "Public" or "Friends Only" so they can find your game, otherwise, you can set your game to "Offline" to prevent anyone from joining your game.
While playing the game, the host will decide which region to play in by interacting with the World Stone, the joiners simply need to touch the World Stone to fast-travel to that location.
Does Remnant 2 have Local Co-op?
No, Remnant 2 does not support local co-op in any of the available versions (Consoles or PC).
Remnant 2 Multiplayer Scaling System
The World Level generation in Remnant 2 is largely based on the host's Power Level. This means that the enemies can only go up to 3 Levels maximum even if there's a friend who is 5+ levels or more higher than the Host. The Remnant 2 Multiplayer is designed to provide enjoyment to all players in a session so that the campaign will not get too difficult, nor get too easy for those with lower levels.
Anonymousstupid question, but how do you end a multiplayer session? i was hosting a public game and a guy joined and we did a dungeon together and even finished a boss fight, but after that I wanted to end the game but he just would not leave. Is it considered rude to kick someone in this case? i felt so bad just disconnecting, but there was no official end to it xD

Always looking to help new players to this game. Can communicate on PS5 for sure sadly even with cross play I can’t do much communication wise. Maybe Discord, but haven’t used it in awhile. PSN: x_LastStand_x and my name is the same for crossplay/Epic. I can help if I’m not busy with another game. But best believe if there’s no games of note out I’ll probably be playing Remnant II.

for those who want i've found a way to play from pc to ps5
just follow these steps:
- for the pc player :
-1 If you play on steam, you'll need to link your steam account to your epic games account (if you're already on epic games, you don't need to do this).
-2 add your friend's epic games account to see both of you online together
-3 when you connect to remnant on the title screen at the top left you will be offered to link your remnant account to epic games, do it
- for the ps5 player :
-1 connect your psn account to your epic games account
-2 add your pc friends to epic games
Normally after this your ps5 friends will be able to see you online from the epic games tab on their ps5 and join you in your game.

PC Gamepass and Steam can indeed play together, but you have to use Epic as a middleman by connecting it to Steam or Gamepass (there's a prompt in the game's main menu for that) and then joining your pals from its friend list.

Explosive builds are fun, easy to put together, and have firepower, but you should be careful about competing with allies of close combat builds such as the Shotgun Challenger, allies of follower builds, and allies who use anything else destructible grounding type. Even if you alone are comfortably doing a lot of damage, it does no good in multiplayer if your allies' firepower is reduced because the enemy is enhanced by the number of people you have. It is a good single player build, but in multiplayer it is better to use only friends, or look at the builds of your allies and find other hosts if they are not compatible with your build.

This game needs option for region lock. Already in general to much ping and then you join some chinese or some other player out side your region and multiplayer becomes a **** show.

They say communication is key. Coordinating with your teammates is vital for successful in multiplayer games, and Remnant 2 is no exception. Effective communication allows you to strategize, share enemy locations, plan attacks, and watch each other's backs during intense battles.

Sad that they didn't put in some chat function. Sometimes totally impossible to explain random players what is the plan.

Is it still possible to sell Crafting Materials to vendors and have your coop partners buy them back?
Just because it's hard to get players on the disaster difficulty level, it would be foolish to try to get people on Survivor and then secretly regenerate them into Apocalypse to clear it. The objectives and builds of the incoming players are different on Survivor and Apocalypse.
