Remnant 2 Patch Adds Matchmaking Regions, Increases Aberration Spawn Rate

Gunfire Games’ first paid DLC for Remnant 2 is now available with The Awakened King. It adds a new location in Losomn, a powerful new boss, new weapons, armor, Rings and more. However, there’s also a new patch which adds some quality-of-life features and bug fixes.

For example, you can now matchmake based on region, and it will only show players from the same when searching for public games. Regardless of the setting, your friends’ games will remain visible. Another much-needed change is the increased spawn rate for Aberrations globally. Since their Corrupted Lumenite Crystals are necessary for upgrading Mutators, this is a good buff.

Other issues like the misaligned projectile from the Engineer’s Flamethrower Turret, the Handler becoming immobilized if executed while simultaneously being revived by their pet, and more have also been fixed. Check out the full patch notes below.

Remnant 2 is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. We gave it an 8 out of 10 in our review, with the combat, enemy design and procedural generation receiving praise.
