Remnant 2 Armor Tier List
In Remnant 2, the most useful protective strategy is to ensure you don’t get hit. This is possible by dodging and rolling out of the way. You can only do this if your weight is low enough. The best way to ensure that is to not wear anything at all. But doing so will also affect your overall protective ability.
You also have to consider different builds and playstyles. Some people prefer to create tanks and take whatever the enemies throw at them. And so, it is worth it to wear armor after all so you have some protective ability.
