Armor upgrade

[Lauw]

Hey guys,

I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the armors in the game, if I remember well, we were able to do it in R1.
I checked every npc in the HUB, I didn't find anyone upgrading armor, does it appear a bit later on ?

No, remnant 2 does not feature armor upgrading as that is what vastly ruined proper scaling in R1.

If you are looking to boost your defense there are a vast majority of rings, skills, amulets and some traits to help with that.
Though personally playing on Veteran difficulty, I have not had to boost armor beyond the base to beat the game.

Nope. Armour in Remnant 2 is far more focused on just being fashion.

You can mix and match freely - you still have to pay mind to the overall defence and weight, but there are no upgrades and no set bonuses etc.

Essentially it means that when you get new armour, you can just use it straight away. Don't have to think about upgrading things.

can't upgrade armor but you can use the engineer trait to gain 50% more armor, the challenger trait to lower total weight a bit, find the leto set to get super armor but flop.
And there are a few other ways to help defend yourself.
Nerud also features a lot of items that give a shield on top of your health so that helps too

Nope, but I do wish they had mod slots like weapons so that you could still have interesting ways to improve them and get fun bonuses.

The devs made it clear basically back when the game was still in development, that there won't be any armor upgrade system in Remnant II. They basically replaced it with the Archetype system, and with the different Weapon Mutators which you can upgrade alongside the weapons as well. The different types of armors still has stats tho, but you can't upgrade the armors anymore.

Oh ok, so I suppose there are some traits that will be unavoidable to be resistant enough against boss.
Unless you know perfectly the patterns.

Thanks guys :)
