  Human (Player Characters with chosen Archetypes)

• Minigames: Hidden throughout the levels are 25 optional, competitive minigames. Finding and playing these allows Mio and Zoe to take a break from cooperating and compete against each other in short, fun challenges.

• Tomes of Knowledge: Consumable items found randomly throughout all worlds. When picked up, they are instantly consumed and grant The Traveler +1 Trait Point. If at the Trait Point cap, they grant Archetype XP and Scrap instead.

• Traits: Passive character upgrades that provide permanent stat increases or bonuses (e.g., Vigor for health, Endurance for stamina, Spirit for mod power generation). Acquired by leveling up, defeating bosses, completing quests, or finding Tomes of Knowledge. Trait points are spent to increase their effectiveness up to a cap.
• Weapon Mods & Mutators: Weapon Mods are crafted from boss materials and grant active abilities to weapons. Mutators are found as loot or from specific encounters and provide passive bonuses to weapons. Collecting these expands combat options.
• Quest Items & Lore Items: Various items specific to main or side quests that progress storylines. Lore items like books, notes, and audio logs are found throughout the worlds, providing backstory and world-building details.

• Contextual Abilities: Varies by Level
  The game does not have a persistent arsenal. Instead, each level grants Mio and Zoe unique, temporary gadgets and abilities tailored to that specific world's theme. For example, in a sci-fi level, one player might get a gravity bike while the other gets a plasma rifle. In a fantasy level, one might get a magic staff while the other gets a grappling hook.

• Long Guns (Rifles, Shotguns, Bows, etc.): Primary Ranged Weapon
  Main damage-dealing firearms. Includes a wide variety like assault rifles (e.g., Blackmaw AR-47, Chicago Typewriter), shotguns (e.g., AS-10 Bulldog), sniper rifles/bows (e.g., Huntmaster M1, Crescent Moon), and unique boss weapons (e.g., Nightfall, Alpha-Omega). Each can be upgraded and equipped with a Weapon Mod and a Mutator.
• Handguns (Pistols, Revolvers, SMG-like sidearms): Secondary Ranged Weapon
  Sidearms used for backup or specific situations. Examples include revolvers (e.g., Western Classic), pistols (e.g., Rune Pistol), and special handguns like the Cube Gun or Meridian. Can also be upgraded and equipped with a Weapon Mod and a Mutator.

  Used for close-range combat, dealing damage and often staggering enemies. Includes a variety of types like swords (e.g., Blade of Gul), axes (e.g., Krell Axe), hammers (e.g., Atom Smasher), and special melee weapons crafted from boss materials (e.g., Assassin's Dagger). Can be upgraded and some can be equipped with Mutators.
• Weapon Mods: Equippable Weapon Ability
  Attachable components that grant weapons unique active abilities, often with cooldowns or charges built up by dealing damage. Examples include Hot Shot (imbues bullets with fire), Healing Shot (heals allies), Space Crabs (summons explosive crabs), or boss-specific mods like Moonlight Barrage (Crescent Moon bow). Most weapons have one Mod slot.
• Mutators: Passive Weapon Augment
  Passive augments that can be socketed into Long Guns, Handguns, and some Melee Weapons. They provide various passive bonuses like increased critical chance, lifesteal, faster reload speed, or unique conditional effects. Can be upgraded.
• Corrupted Weapons: Special Weapon Variants
  Special alternate versions of existing weapons, often with unique visual effects and altered firing modes or properties. Obtained by exchanging Corrupted Shards and the original weapon with Dwell in Ward 13. Examples: Corrupted Aphelion, Corrupted Merciless.

• Character Outfits: There is no armor system that affects gameplay stats. Mio and Zoe have their own distinct default outfits. Their appearance may change slightly based on the context of a level, but this is purely cosmetic.

• Armor Sets (Head, Body, Legs, Gloves): Players can equip a full armor set consisting of four pieces: Head Armor, Body Armor, Leg Armor, and Gloves. Each piece contributes to the overall Armor value (damage reduction), Weight (affecting stamina regeneration and dodge roll speed - Light, Medium, Heavy, Ultra Heavy rolls), and elemental resistances (e.g., Fire, Shock, Blight, Corrode). Many sets also provide unique passive set bonuses when multiple pieces are equipped.
• Leto Mark I & II Armor Sets: Known for being extremely heavy armor sets, providing very high damage reduction at the cost of a slow 'flop' dodge roll (Leto Mark I) or a slightly better heavy roll (Leto Mark II). Popular for tank builds.
• Radiant Armor Set: An example of a set that might provide bonuses related to critical hits or sustained fire, often with a distinct visual appearance.
• Void Armor Set: A heavy armor set that often provides a perk related to taking damage, such as a temporary damage buff after being hit.
• Elder Armor Set: A set often associated with support or healing capabilities, potentially boosting Relic use or ally buffs.
• Cultist Armor Set (Example from Remnant 1, archetype starting gear in R2 may vary): Typically associated with Mod Power generation or skill cooldown reduction. Starting Archetypes in Remnant II come with their own unique-looking armor sets.
• Armor Skins / Cosmetic Transmog (Limited): While full transmog is not a primary feature, some armor sets are visually distinct, and certain pre-order/Deluxe edition bonuses provided unique armor appearances. The focus is primarily on stats and set bonuses rather than extensive cosmetic layering of armor pieces.

• Archetype Starting Armor: Each starting Archetype (e.g., Challenger, Handler, Hunter, Gunslinger, Medic) comes with a visually distinct set of armor (Head, Body, Legs, Gloves) that reflects their theme and role. These are actual gear pieces with stats.
• World-Dropped & Crafted Armor Sets: Numerous armor sets can be found as loot in the various worlds, crafted from materials, or purchased from merchants. Each set has a unique appearance and provides different defensive stats, elemental resistances, and often set bonuses that synergize with specific playstyles or Archetypes.
• Deluxe & Ultimate Edition Armor Sets (Cosmetic/Early Unlocks): The Deluxe Edition included three armor sets: Elder Armor Set, Radiant Armor Set, and Void Armor Set. These provide unique aesthetics and starting gear options.
• DLC Armor Sets: Each DLC ('The Awakened King,' 'The Forgotten Kingdom,' 'The Dark Horizon') introduces new armor sets with unique designs and perks thematic to the new content and worlds.
• Helmet Visibility Toggle: Players usually have the option to toggle the visibility of their equipped helmet, allowing them to see their character's face while still receiving the stats from the head armor.

• None (Traversal by Foot & World Stones)
  REMNANT II primarily features on-foot exploration within its worlds and dungeons. Fast travel is facilitated by interacting with World Stones (checkpoints) to teleport to other discovered World Stones within the same world or to different worlds via The Labyrinth.
• Glider Traversal System (The Dark Horizon DLC - N'Erud Only): Personal Traversal Gear
  The 'The Dark Horizon' DLC, set in N'Erud, introduces a new Glider Traversal System, allowing players to navigate specific areas of that world with enhanced mobility. This is specific to certain sections of the DLC content.
