Remnant 2 Archetype guide: Medic Archetype traits, Prime perks and more

Remnant 2 is all set to offer an exhilarating action-adventure gameplay experience, providing players with a diverse array of weapons and skills. One of the game's core components revolves around its Archetypes, or classes, which are essential for accomplishing objectives. Each Archetype boasts distinct and special abilities, allowing players to tailor their gameplay to their preferred style.

For instance, the Medic Archetype excels in effective healing and offers comprehensive support, proving highly advantageous when facing formidable foes during battles in the game.

Remnant 2 offers the option of multiplayer gameplay, allowing you to invite two of your friends. Together, you'll face formidable foes in intense battles. However, don't be mistaken in thinking that success can be achieved solely through shooting and teamwork.

While teamwork does offer some support, victory primarily depends on your choice of Archetype. The article focuses on the Medic Archetype and elaborates on its beneficial abilities that can significantly enhance your chances of winning.

Along with the general Perks, each Remnant 2 Archetype possesses a unique ability called the Prime Perk. However, players will have to reach Level 5 to finally gain access to the Prime Perk. It can also be enhanced through upgrades, but for that, players are required to reach Level 10.

The Regenerator is a Prime Perk of the Medic Archetype that can restore 250 health and simultaneously replenish a used Relic charge. Resting or respawning at a Worldstone (a place that helps you regain lost health and other skills) will reset the healing accumulation. With each additional player, the healing requirement increases by 50%.

The Medic possesses a skill that allows them to rapidly release healing energy, creating a protective shield around all allies within a 25-meter radius. This shield grants them healing equivalent to 100% of their maximum health for a duration of 10 seconds. During this shielding phase, allies will also experience gradual health regeneration, amounting to 30% of their maximum health over the specified duration.

The Medic's powerful ability has a significant impact on reviving teammates. When activated, the Medic releases a 30-meter Shockwave that helps in reviving the damaged allies and gradually restores 75% of their maximum health over a span of 10 seconds. Holding the skill button for longer, up to 1 second per additional hold, enhances the healing effect by an extra 75%. However, Redemption cannot revive the same member again for another 150 seconds.
