All Weapons Comparison

XMG57 Bonesaw

Best Extended Mag Weapon

First, I have the XMG57 Bonesaw as the best weapon in Remnant 2 for those who seek sustainability while having combat. This is the long gun you can entirely rely on, and it can meet your expectations of an exceptional weapon.

It can be turned into a beast by adding mods like Hotshot, Deadly Calm, and more. This gun can be your great companion if you can handle the pressure during combat. Another advantage is that you can use it at various ranges.

The downside is that it gets overheated and has longer reload timing. So make sure you reload on time, which may lower your chances of getting stuck in a stressful situation.

Alpha Omega

Best DPS Weapon

Alpha Omega is the best pulse rifle you can lay your hands on. You get to experience a complete boost of energy while using this weapon. The distinct feature this weapon brings you is that it releases five energy bolts as you shoot the Burst through it.

You will surely love this aspect if you prefer continuous shooting at enemies. With each hit, the charge time decreases while the damage boosts up. So, in general, you get the constant firing fun along with the maximum damage.

There is no stagger modifier, and it gives you an amazing weak spot damage bonus. It can stand well against the boss as its mod Beta Ray results in the infliction of Brand on the opponent, and it causes significant damage on an explosion.

This is another outstanding weapon you can pick for extraordinary combat gameplay. It is a craftable long gun and offers excellent accuracy and crowd control. If you manage to have the right control,

Then, you can make the most out of this semi-automatic weapon in terms of damage. Nightfall may not seem very impressive initially, but once you activate its mod, this gun becomes lethal.

The Dreamweaver mod is like magic that turns your gun into something unbeatable. With this, you get unlimited ammo, and there is also an additional fire rate, which is 35%. Moreover, the weapon receives the life steal 10% through this mod.

Twisted Arbalest

Best Mid-Long Range Weapon

Arbalest is another long gun that made it to my weapons list. It can be an excellent pick for close and mid-range combats. This one will suit you if you have a strategic approach to dealing with the crowd.

The ideal range to use this gun is 20m, so try to be nearly this number to benefit from its performance. Furthermore, you can shoot an energy disc that can strike approximately 5 adversaries, making it handy when crowded by multiple enemies.

You must be careful regarding timing and aim to get the most out of this gun. Twisted Arbalest comes with the Guardian’s Cell Mod, and its power requirement will be 750. The energy disc is part of this mod, and the activation of the mod powers up the primary fire amazingly.

Atom Smasher

Best Heavy Melee Weapon

You use the melee as the best weapon and perform well in close-range combat. It is too good to be true as Atom Smasher has so many great factors, and with its single hit, it can deal severe damage.

You can create the perfect Chaos on the battlefield by having this weapon in your hand. The distinct mod in Atom Smasher enables accelerated melee attacks with a speed increase of 10%, so you don’t have to wait to deal your enemy with cruel damage.

It provides a highly impressive weak spot damage bonus of +105%. Along with it, you get fine aim accuracy which helps you to target enemies with a lesser chance of missing the shot. With a stagger modifier, you can disrupt the actions of your adversaries.
