Remnant 2 offers numerous items that can alter your stats in many ways, allowing you to make a number of different builds. While you can be experimental and try different things on regular difficulties, you are going to need the best builds for Remnant 2’s Apocalypse difficulty.

The Apocalypse difficulty is so tough that even the game doesn’t allow you to play at that setting unless you have already completed the game once on Nightmare difficulty. But if you do get to that stage, we have compiled 5 of the best Apocalypse builds that can survive the brutal enemies and bosses of Remnant 2 at its toughest setting.

On This Page

  • Remnant 2 Apocalypse build basics
  • Infinite Nightfall mod build
    • One Shot Shotgun build
      • Infinite Bleed build
        • Turret DPS Minigunner build
          • Unkillable Root Doctor build

            Remnant 2 Apocalypse build basics

            One thing to understand about the Apocalypse difficulty is that it requires a very focused playstyle. Being an all-rounder and trying to max everything will most certainly result in you falling short in all departments instead.

            You will also need to unlock all Archetypes in your first playthrough before starting your new Apocalypse playthrough. This will make it so that you already have these Archetypes unlocked at the start of the new game so that you can pick them as your starter class. While exploring the top Apocalypse builds, it’s important to have the right equipment. Learn how to acquire the Rune Pistol in Remnant 2 with our guide on How to Get Rune Pistol for a powerful addition to your arsenal.

            Infinite Nightfall mod build

            This is a great class that lets you continuously use the mod on the Nightfall weapon. This makes it really powerful, as the weapon mod on Nightfall allows you to constantly fire without reloading or losing ammo. With this build, you will be ready to activate this OP mod just seconds after it finishes, making it borderline broken. You will also deal a lot of Bleed damage to your enemies, which will only make the boss fight even faster.

            • Main Class Skill: Hunter – Hunter’s Mark
            • Sub Class Skill: Archon – Chaos Gate
            • Required Armor Weight Class: Medium (50 and below)
            • Relic: Enlarged Heart

            Weapons

            • Long-Gun: Nightfall / Base mod
            • Hand Gun: MP60-R / Any mod
            • Melee Weapon: Godsplitter

            Amulets and Rings

            • Amulet: Abrasive Whetstone
            • Ring 1: Faerin’s Sigil
            • Ring 2: Zania’s Malice
            • Ring 3: White Pawn Stamp
            • Ring 4: Probability Cord

            Traits

            • Handling: 10
            • Barkskin: 10

            One Shot Shotgun build

            This class will give you the ability to one-shot most enemies on Apocalypse difficulty, making it one of the best Apocalypse builds for Remnant 2. Even in the boss fights, you will be able to take them down fast enough considering it’s the hardest difficulty of the game. The whole build revolves around using the Sporebloom shotgun effectively, but you can use any other shotgun as well. The Sporebloom does however have the most one-shot capability.

            • Main Class Skill: Invader – Wormhole
            • Sub Class Skill: Challenger – Rampage
            • Required Armor Weight Class: Any Armor
            • Relic: Dragon Heart

            Weapons

            • Long-Gun: Sporebloom – Base mod
            • Hand Gun: Silverback Model 500 – Any mod
            • Melee Weapon: Any

            Amulets and Rings

            • Amulet: Ankh of Power
            • Ring 1: Burden of Destroyer
            • Ring 2: Fae Hunter Ring
            • Ring 3: Gunslinger’s Ring
            • Ring 4: Point Focus Ring

            Traits

            • Vigor: 10
            • Endurance: 10
            • Handling: 10
            • Expertise: 10
            • Ammo Reserves: 10
            • Handling: 10
            • (Plus any extra Trait from remaining points)

            Infinite Bleed build

            This build focuses heavily on doing bleed damage and constantly draining your enemy’s health. This also requires you to have lightweight armor so you can constantly dodge without losing much stamina while the bleed is constantly inflicting damage even without you attacking. This build can be a difficult one due to the fact that it still requires you to have good dodge timing, but the point is that the bosses and enemies will go down decently fast.

            • Main Class Skill: Engineer – Any skill
            • Sub Class Skill: Archon – Havoc Form
            • Required Armor Weight Class: Light (25 and below)
            • Relic: Shielded Heart

            Weapons

            • Long-Gun: Merciless – Base mod
            • Hand Gun: Nebula – Base mod
            • Melee Weapon: Any

            Amulets and Rings

            • Amulet: Abrasive Whetstone
            • Ring 1: Burden of the Gambler
            • Ring 2: Probability Cord
            • Ring 3: Devoured Loop
            • Ring 4: Stone of continuance

            Traits

            • Vigor: 10
            • Swiftness: 10
            • Triage: 10
            • Blood Bond: 10
            • Footwork: 10
            • Siphoner: 7
            • Barkskin: 10

            Turret DPS Minigunner build

            This is one of those Apocalypse builds in Remnant 2 focusing on the Engineer’s Turret damage output. The pure damage you will deal per second with the turret will bring down any enemies or bosses very quickly. Turret acts as a Summon when placed down, which gives it all the buffs a Summon would.

            • Main Class Skill: Engineer – Any skill
            • Sub Class Skill: Summoner/Explorer – Any Skill
            • Required Armor Weight Class: Medium (50 and below)
            • Relic: Diverting Heart

            Weapons

            • Long-Gun: Wrangler 1860 – Corrosive Rounds mod
            • Hand Gun: Tech 22 – Fargazer mod
            • Melee Weapon: Any

            Amulets and Rings

            • Amulet: Silver Ribbon
            • Ring 1: Akari War band
            • Ring 2: Zania’s Malice
            • Ring 3: Stone of Balance
            • Ring 4: Probability Cord

            Traits

            • Vigor: 10
            • Flash Caster: 10
            • Triage: 10
            • Expertise: 10
            • Footwork: 10
            • Siphoner: 8
            • Barkskin: 10

            Unkillable Root Doctor build

            Out of all the Apocalypse builds in Remnant 2, this one is by far the most powerful as it will make you borderline immortal. The combination of Medic and Summoner leads to health regeneration that is so fast that it almost breaks the game.

            Medic allows you to heal yourself whenever you are too low and also replenishes your Relic with its Prime Perk. Meanwhile, the Summoner Archetype Trait gives you constant health regeneration for any little damage you take in combat. Besides the Archetype Traits, all the other Traits combined make this build one of, if not, the best Apocalypse build.

            • Main Class Skill: Medic – Healing Sheild/Redemption
            • Sub Class Skill: Summoner – Minion Reaver
            • Required Armor Weight Class: Heavy
            • Relic: Resonating Heart

            Weapons

            • Long-Gun: Any – Fargazer mod
            • Hand Gun: Nebula – Base mod – Harmonizer Mutator
            • Melee Weapon: Stonebreaker – Steadfast Mutator

            Amulets and Rings

            • Amulet: Rusted Navigator Pendant
            • Ring 1: Burden of Divine
            • Ring 2: Ring of the Robust
            • Ring 3: Dead King’s Memento
            • Ring 4: Seal of the Empress

            Traits

            • Fortify: 10
            • Endurance: 10
            • Spirit: 10
            • Expertise: 10
            • Vigor: 10
            • Glutton: 10
            • Barkskin: 10

            Those were the top 5 builds for Remnant 2’s Apocalypse difficulty. Using them will ensure your survival as you play through the game on its hardest difficulty, but if you are looking to find many of the items mentioned in these builds, be sure to check out our Remnant 2 Guides Hub.
