All Remnant 2 Traits and how to get them

The blocks for your build in Remnant 2.

Traits are the bread and butter of character customization in Remnant 2. With only 60 total Trait points available, you'll need to make informed decisions about where to place them. Part of doing that is knowing exactly what Traits are on offer to you, even if you don't have them yourself just yet. Here's every Trait in Remnant 2, and how you can get them.

Every Trait in Remnant 2 and how to get them

Traits effectively function as skill points, and where you place them in your build can make all the difference. First, I'll begin with the traits you have access to just by creating a character:

  • Vigor - Boosts your Max Health
  • Endurance - Boosts your Max Stamina
  • Expertise - Reduces Skill Cooldowns
  • Spirit - Boosts Mod Power Generation

These are bread-and-butter traits and, for most builds, should be invested in to some extent. Personally, I recommend maxing out Vigor and Spirit. This next set of traits is obtainable by maxing out or playing as a specific Archetype:

TraitArchetypeEffect
UntouchableInvaderBoosts Evade Window
SwiftnessExplorerBoosts Movement Speed
TriageMedicBoosts Healing
Ammo ReservesGunslingerBoosts Ammo Count
FortifyEngineerBoosts Armor Effectiveness
KinshipHandlerReduces Friendly Fire Dealt and Received
PotencyAlchemistBoosts Consumable Duration
LongshotHunterBoosts Weapon Range Bonus
Flash CasterArchonBoosts Mod and Skill Cast Speed
Strong BackChallengerReduces Encumbrance
RegrowthSummonerBoosts Health Regen

Maxing out an Archetype will reward you with the ability to spend Trait points toward the Archetype's trait with any other Archetype selected. Because of this, I recommend you level up the Archetypes that reward you with the trait you're looking to build into.
