What Is Hardcore Mode

Hardcore Mode in Remnant 2 offers an optional setting for new characters. Enabling it results in permanent death upon your character’s demise, preventing any further play in that save. Successfully completing a No-deaths run in this mode earns special rewards.

Developed for experienced players, Hardcore Mode is intentionally unforgiving. It caters to players seeking a challenging experience, adding multiple handicaps for those inclined towards a masochistic gameplay style in Remnant 2.

4 specific things enabling Hardcore Mode does concerning gameplay:

1. Death is Permanent.
2. You can only play with other Hardcore Mode players.
3. You can’t host or join public game lobbies.
4. You get access to Hardcore Mode Specific Rewards.

Hardcore Mode Difficulty

Unlocking Hardcore Rewards in Remnant 2 requires specific difficulty settings, not just playing on Hardcore Mode. For instance, to obtain the Savior Long Gun, you must play Hardcore Mode on the Veteran Difficulty. Choosing Survivor mode necessitates restarting the game world.

Apocalypse Difficulty in Remnant 2 offers the most extreme challenge for dedicated fans seeking the toughest experience. Playing Hardcore Mode on Apocalypse presents the ultimate test for players, representing a significant achievement.

A summary table showcasing variations among the four difficulty levels is available.

Difficulty	EXP Gain	Mob HP	Mob Damage	Boss HP	Boss Damage
Survivor	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%
Veteran	115%	150%	165%	165%	165%
Nightmare	130%	175%	350%	312.5%	262%
Apocalypse	150%	275%	450%	412%	405%

As you can see, even though Apocalypse looks appealing due to the extra 50% EXP gain. However, the tripling and quadrupling of the enemy HP and Damage deters anyone except the most dedicated players from experiencing the Apocalypse Difficulty. However, you don’t need to beat the game on the Apocalypse Hardcore Mode for the 6 rewards we’ll discuss below.

There are 6 Hardcore Mode Rewards, including Guns, Amulets, and Rings. Here is a list of the 6 Rewards, including their descriptions and the acquisition steps.

Savior

The Savior is a Long Gun equipped with the Shatterstar Mod, which imbues shots with white-hot FIRE. Hits apply BURNING, dealing 100 FIRE damage over 10 seconds and lasting 20 seconds. Weakspot Hits and Kills cause shots to fragment, automatically targeting nearby enemies. Fragments strike for 50% of the initial damage dealt and apply BURNING.

This is very useful for clearing out hordes of enemies very quickly. However, you can’t unequip this mod from the gun, nor can you equip it on any other weapon, making it unique. However, you can equip a Mutator on this Weapon to make it more effective. Finally, you can unlock this Weapon in Barbus’ Shop by finishing the campaign on Hardcore Mode on the Veteran Difficulty.

Damage	RPS	Magazine	Ideal Range	Falloff Range	Max Ammo	Critical Hit Chance	Weak Spot Damage Bonus	Stagger Modifier
72	1.9	6	25 m	75 m	42	10%	+115%	0%
