Latest Remnant 2 Patch Makes Trophy/Achievements Retroactive and More

Remnant 2 version 384,210, or as PlayStation 5 lists it 1.000.008, is now available for download.

While this patch adds a number of quality of life improvements, the big addition is retroactive trophy/achievements. This was a big negative in the previous version, which fixed them, but did not make them retroactive. That being said, we can confirm they’re still finicky.

Major missing tasks, such as collecting weapons, should instantly unlock by touching a World Stone. reports indicate scrap, aberrations, trait, and special enemy kills do not unlock, which I can confirm is true for the first three. Based off some quick testing the scrap trophy should unlock when you’re holding 100,000 scrap. While I was not able to quickly unlock aberrations, I did get the trait trophy when I unlocked the Revivalist trait. Not only were the requirements fix and reduced, reviving the Dog should instantly unlock it.

For a full list of other Remnant 2 changes and improvements, the PC patch notes can be found below.

–Performance and Crashes–

• Ongoing optimizations to improve overall performance. 

• Fixed multiple reported crash bugs.

• Potential fix for “GameThread timed out waiting for RenderThread” crash.

–Out Of Memory when Loading (Intel 13th generation CPU’s)–

We have identified an issue on some Intel 13th generation CPU’s where upon startup the game will display a message about being out of video memory or the crash reporter will pop up referencing an issue with decompressing a shader. If you experience this problem, you will likely also see it in other DX12 games.

If your CPU is overclocked, try setting it back to the defaults. If you’re not overclocked or that doesn’t work, try installing Intel Extreme Tuning Utility and lowering your “Performance Core Ratio” from 55x to 54x.

–Achievements & Difficulty Rewards—

• Retroactively fixed several achievements that weren’t tracked correctly.

• Retroactively fixed as many difficulty-based rewards as possible. 

DEV NOTE: To unlock difficulty rewards and achievements, you must interact with the World Stone.

–Quality of Life–

• Added all unlocked Archetypes to Wallace’s inventory. If players have unlocked any Secret Archetype (by converting a Mysterious Item into an Engram), he will then sell them for all future characters. If you can start with it, Wallace will sell it.

• Reduced the requirement to obtain Revivalist Trait. Also included Very Good Boy.

• Updated Nimue, Bedel (Old Vaunnt), and N’Erud Vending Machine, and Blood Altar to properly keep their items in stock.

• Fixed the Damage Reduction calculation in Advanced Stats. While this was a bug, we still wanted to make sure it was at the top of the list because it was giving players incorrect info.

• Reduced Multiplayer Scaling per player by an additional 5% (from 15% to 10%). This means that in 3 player COOP, all players will now take 10% less damage (5% less per player).

• Increased the chance that Cass spawns her special rewards.

• Increased invulnerability time on standard Revive by 0.7s to give players a bit more time to react after being revived.

• Experience gained is shared across any distance in multiplayer (previously 40m max range) and to dead teammates.

–Balance—

[ General ]

• Reduced Vicious enemy affix from 33% to 15%.

• Reduced Spiteful enemy affix from 0-45% to 0-25%. This is based on current enemy Health.

• Reduced Thick Skin enemy affix from -15% Critical Chance & -25% Critical Damage to -10% and 15%, respectively.

• Reduced Hearty enemy affix from 25% Max HP to 15% Max HP.

• Increased Bulwark Damage Reduction from 6,5,4,3,2% (20% MAX) to 7,6,5,4,3% (25% MAX).

[ Armor ]

ARMOR OVERVIEW: We made a few tweaks to various armor types to give them unique benefits that were applicable for all difficulties. We felt that the baseline Heavy Armor values (at approximately 35% Damage Reduction) were in a good spot, especially with our recent changes to certain enemy affixes, so we adjusted the other armors to bring them up to par in their own way. Armor-based Damage Reduction is typically the easiest type of DR to get in the game, and due to its importance at higher levels, the lower-value armors were becoming less than desirable.

• Adjusted Light Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 15% to 25%.

• Adjusted Medium Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 25% to 30%.

• Adjusted Ultra Heavy Armor Damage Reduction Value from approximately 45% to 50%.

• Increased Light Armor Evade Invulnerability by 2 frames.

• Increased Medium Armor Evade Invulnerability by 1 frame.

• Increased Ultra Heavy Neutral Evade Invulnerability by 1 frame.

Armor Evade Value and Stamina Penalty Reference:

– Light Evade (25 Encumbrance or Lower): 12 iFrames, 0% Stamina Cost Penalty.

– Medium Evade (26-50 Encumbrance): 11 iFrames, 25% Stamina Cost Penalty.

– Heavy Evade (51-75 Encumbrance): 10 iFrames, 50% Stamina Cost Penalty.

– Ultra Heavy (76+ Encumbrance): 15 iFrames (Flop), 75% Stamina Cost Penalty.

DEV NOTE: No changes were made to Stamina Cost Penalty. These are original values. Additionally, Heavy Evade and Ultra Heavy Flop have their original iFrame value as well. The only changes regarding iFrames were to the two lighter Weight Classes.

[ Archetypes ]

• Handler Companion and Summoner Minions gain increased health per difficulty. On Apocalypse, they will have the highest base health.

• Increased Challenger’s Intimidating Presence Range from 10m to 15m.

[ Gear / Items ]

• Increased Restriction Cord Damage Reduction from 10% to 15%.

• Increased Guardian’s Ring range from 10m to 15m.
