Being a looter shooter, Remnant 2 puts players against bosses that are quite powerful and also rewards you abundantly when you defeat them. Throw in the RNG system of the game and you end up potentially encountering different variations of the same boss with each reroll of your Adventure. So how are you supposed to figure out how to defeat these bosses? Well, that is where the Boss modifiers in Remnant 2 come in.
What are boss modifiers?
The main world bosses that you encounter to finish each World of Remnant 2 are static. However, some other bosses that you encounter in dungeons can have a variety of different buffs and effects on them. These changing effects are known as boss modifiers.
This way when you encounter a boss in a dungeon of Remnant 2 and it has a particular boss modifier on it but if you were to reroll your adventure and fight the boss again, it could appear with completely different modifiers.
The boss modifiers are the effects that a boss can have during a fight which makes it a lot stronger. These modifiers increase their stats and grant them a few abilities like when you heal, they heal or can teleport near you. These modifiers make the gameplay difficult and intense or fun if you like to play hardcore.
This adds a lot of replayability to the combat and dungeons of Remnant 2 and keeps the experience fresh.
All Remnant 2 Boss Modifiers
It is highly unlikely that your dungeon runs will be the same every time. You also have to be on your toes and adapt to the new boss modifiers.
For that, it is best to know what each modifier does before you go charging into a dungeon. This way even if a boss appears with a new modifier in Remnant 2, you have an idea on how to tackle it.
These bosses don’t always spawn with only one modifier and can have multiple modifiers in Remnant 2. Sometimes the combinations of these modifiers are deadly and can take a lot of time to defeat one boss. It is important to adapt accordingly and play the game with full awareness.
