Remnant 2 is the long-anticipated sequel to Remnant From the Ashes. It introduces some elements from the Souls-like genre to a looter shooter format just like its predecessor but classes have a much bigger impact in this new game and it enables better build-crafting. Remnant 2 development studio Gunfire Games did an excellent job of keeping a lot of playable content hidden from players in its trailers and there are tons of hidden classes that you can unlock as you progress through the game.
A total of nine classes in Remnant 2 have been discovered so far and you can switch between them anytime you want. If you are wondering what each of these classes do, here is a quick rundown of their skills and playstyle in Remnant 2.
All playable classes in Remnant 2 detailed
Alchemist

Challenger
The Challenger is a tank archetype, ideal for close combat situations. They have increased survivability, making them durable in battles. Accuracy is not crucial for this class, making weapons with lower accuracy suitable for them. The Challenger is a great choice for beginners or those new to the Souls-like genre.

Their abilities boost loot-finding capabilities, team damage, uncover hidden treasures, and improve movement speed for all allies.

The Summoner excels in commanding minions to do their bidding. They can empower their minions, sacrifice them for temporary boosts to their own attacks, and use relics to enhance their minions' health and damage output.
Medic
The Medic is a support-oriented class focused on healing and improving team survivability. While not as tough as other classes, the Medic plays a crucial role in keeping the team healthy and alive.
