Remnant 2 is winning charts within days of release. Gunfire Games’ sequel to the immensely popular Remnant: From the Ashes to not letting down at all. The game is also similar to Souls games for more than one reason. The highest difficulty setting in Remnant 2 is marked as “Apocalypse” and it makes sense. While the weapon gameplay has been kept relatively simple, the mechanics and design of the game are making it hard to progress.

One of the gunfire development team members justified the setting recently and brushed off allegations of the game being too punishing.

Remnant 2 devs unthwarted by allegations of the game being difficult

The Souls-like action RPG is a lengthy game, that many fans are finding longer than usual to beat. The highest difficulty setting, Apocalypse is designed in a way so that you won’t survive no matter what you do. And folks at Gunfire Games think you shouldn’t play it either if you hate bosses being better than you. Remnant 2 is a pretty hard game as is, but this setting will let you survive merely two or three hits from bosses. Even the bulkiest builds you can manage won’t get past four/five hits.

However, Tragic, one of the team members at Gunfire, thinks the Apocalypse setting isn’t “a free pass to ignore damage.” After the release of the game, many fans reported increasing player damage reduction. The devs soon got looking and dropped a fix that made things as intended. Players were soon back getting killed like the vermins that they are.

Tragic claims that the fix has now only things normal and this is how one should expect Remnant 2 to be in the max difficulty mode.

Devs say players should get better at it

Many online discussions saw fans claim that the bug may have been better than the fix. “It’s called Apocalypse. It’s not called ‘I get 3 orange slices and a medal for participation.'”, said Tragic. He also addressed the issue of value adjustment to the damage reduction. Tragic affirmed that there is something that’s causing DR to display inaccurate values and making players think they’re more powerful than they actually are.

“…players are seeing they are above 80% DR due to the additive display (which should be multiplicative), and thus they feel they have enough total DR.” Tragic brushed off any player commotion alleging that Remnant 2 is making things too difficult. He thinks whoever is not happy with the bug fix would instead try to get better at the game.
