Mutators in Remnant 2 are a type of EquipmentMutators are a specific type of item with the unique ability to enhance your Weapons significantly. They introduce additional stats or passive abilities that can bolster your arsenal, making them a valuable asset in your journey. Each weapon in Remnant 2, including Special Weapons, has a designated Mutator slot, allowing you to customize and optimize your combat strategies. Mutators in Remnant 2 serve as an integral aspect of the gameplay experience. By enabling players to equip their Weapons with unique special effects, the game offers a wide range of possibilities for customizing combat strategies. 

 

How to Use Mutators in Remnant 2

Remnant 2 Mutators are Weapon modifications. Each ranged Weapon equip one Weapon Mod and one Mutator. Unlike Weapon Mods, which are meant to trigger active effects after charging, Mutators grant passive effects that (usually) alter the stats of a weapon.

While there are no modular Melee Weapon Mods, there are melee-specific Mutators. And while Weapon Mods cannot be upgraded directly, Mutators can be upgraded by Dwell with Corrupted Lumenite Crystals. At Level 10, a Mutator unlocks its secondary passive effect. So far, there are no weapon-specific Mutators

How to Get Mutators in Remnant 2

In Remnant 2, players have two primary methods of obtaining Mutators:

The first method is by purchasing Mutators from Dwell, a Merchant that can be found in Ward 13. Each Mutator costs both Scrap and Relic Dust, which are the currencies used in the game. Dwell's stock of Mutators is limited and mostly consists of Melee Mutators.

The second method involves obtaining Mutators as drops from defeating Bosses and Aberrations. Mutators can be equipped as soon as they are collected.

                  It seems like mutators are bugged on at least two melee weapons (Red Doe Staff and Godsplitter), possibly all boss melee weapons. Shield breaker generates no shields and works normally for non-boss melee weapons.
