Best Secondary Archetypes for a Hunter
For a Hunter, here are some of the best Secondary Archetypes in Remnant 2:
- Gunslinger
- Summoner
Going for Gunslinger as the secondary archetype would be ideal as it’ll help you increase the damage output of your class. It can help in landing some critical hits from a distance, ultimately helping the rest of your squad who are taking on the bosses up close.
Summoner is a worthy second Archetype choice for a Hunter. It allows you to summon Minions that will fight by your side. You may either press or hold them to regain some health back or increase range damage.

Best Rings and Amulet for a Hunter
Here are the best rings for your Hunter:
- Point Focus Ring: This ring mitigates recoil and spread by 30%, so you can focus directly on your target.
- Ring of Flawed Beauty: With this ring, you increase ranged weak spot damage by 2%, but reduce it if you fail. This ring synergizes nicely with the Point Focus Ring, so you shouldn’t have trouble with any unwanted reductions.
- Stone of Expanse: This ring increases Ranged damage by 12% while reducing all other damage by 5%. You don’t really care about that reduction as a Hunter.
- Zania’s Malice: With this ring, you increase weak spot damage by 5% for 5 seconds.
The best Amulet is the Ankh of Power. With it, you increase your damage by 15% and also get a fun health lost/health regenerated synergy that keeps you alive – but on your toes. You can find this relic in Root Earth, Ashen Wasteland. It’s hidden after the second tiny checkpoint, right up the stairs.
Best Skills for a Hunter
Here are the best Skills you can choose for a Hunter in Remnant 2:
- Primary Skill: Hunter’s Mark
- Secondary Skill: Bulletstorm
The Hunter’s Mark skill marks all enemies within 35m, and helps in gaining 15% increased ranged and melee damage and lasts for 25 seconds. It has a 70-second cooldown.
Combining it with the Bulletstorm, a Hunter will become unstoppable, especially against bosses. It’s a Gunslinger skill that increases Fire Rate by 20% and Reload Speed by 50% of all ranged weapons. It lasts 20 seconds and has a 57.6-second cooldown.
Best Trait for a Hunter
Longshot would be the best Trait for a Hunter. It increases the Weapon Range Bonus by 60 with each level up that happens automatically with the character.
As you progress with the game later, you may opt for other Traits like Amplitude, Endurance, Handling, or Vigor.
