The Archetype system allows the player to combine two classes simultaneously to create the most potent combos. I wouldn’t go as far as to say that Remnant 2 is unique to this mechanic, but this game nails this one home. The first one will be the primary one, and the next one will be the secondary one.
Key Highlights
In Remant 2, players can mix two Archetypes, and these are our picks for the top 4 best Archetype combinations.
- Handler – Medic Archetype Combo:
- Versatile combo for offense and support.
- The handler brings a distracting dog companion.
- Medic offers healing abilities and a healing shield.
- Hunter – Gunslinger Archetype Combo:
- Top choice for high damage and long-range combat.
- Hunter reveals enemy positions.
- Gunslinger excels in raw damage output with infinite ammo.
- Challenger – Alchemist Archetype Combo:
- Tank-oriented combo for reduced damage and survivability.
- Challenger auto-revives and decreases damage received.
- Alchemist enhances reload, melee, and movement speeds and provides various boosts.
- Summoner – Explorer Archetype Combo:

The best combo of Archetypes in Remnant is the Handler and Medic combo.
- With the help of this Archetype combo, players can get the healing shield for him and his partner as well, which can be used every 70 seconds on the Handler. You can also use this healing shield on your companion dog, which will help you defeat enemies quickly.
- Medic users will also gain access to the best weapon, known as the XMG57 Bonesaw.
- The best class combo so far is the Handler and Medic Archetype.
- It can also get a dog companion for the player since it’s one of the perks of Handler.
Handler – Medic Archetype Combo
Handler Perks
The most potent Archetype is the Handler class, and you can combine it with the secondary Archetype, Medic. I may have a slight bias towards the cute dog companion, but he does work hard throughout the campaign.
The dog can get helpful against the enemies by distracting them and damaging the small ones, which makes it easier to win the fight against the enemies. The prime perk for the Handler is the “Bonded.”
Weapons
Below, I will list the recommended starting loadout weapons that can be used as the Handler class.
| Type | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Melee | Rusted Claws |
| Handgun | Tech 22 |
| Long Gun | Blackmaw AR-47 |
Weapons Picks Table.
Here are all the skills for the Handler archetype.
| Skills | Details |
|---|---|
| Guard Dog | Unlock at level 0 +15% increased threat |
| Support Dog | Unlock at level 5 +25 % movement speed 2 % HP regeneration per second |
| Attack Dog | Unlock at level 10 deals +20% more damage |
Skills table for Handler.
Medic Perks
The Medic class is best used with the Handler Archetype. This is how I got through my campaign on higher difficulty.
After having this class, players can gain healing power. Being a medic, you can also revive your teammates.
The best weapon that the player can use with the help of the Medic class is known by the name of “XMG57 Bonesaw.” The prime perk for the Medic is the “Regenerator.”
Weapons
Below are all the starting loadout weapons used when using the Medic class in an archetype combo.
| Type | Weapon |
|---|---|
| Melee | Steel Flail |
| Handgun | Service Pistol |

| Redemption | Unlock at level 10 Restores 75% of their max HP |
Skills table for Medic.
Hunter – Gunslinger Archetype Combo
Hunter Perks
If you are one of those players who like to keep their distance from opponents, Hunter perks can greatly aid your character build in Remnant 2.
Hunter perks work by indicating the enemies’ weak points, and not taking much damage from the enemies will give you a higher chance to win the fight against the enemies easily. The prime perk for the Hunter is the “Dead to Rights.”
Weapons
Below are my suggestions for armor and weapons when playing The Hunter.
| Armor | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Nightstalker Shroud | Huner Master M1 |
| Nightstalker Grab | Steel Sword |
| Nightstalker Gloves | Repeater Pistol |
Weapons table for Hunter.
Gunslinger Perks
Gunslinger is the most potent Archetype that can be combined with different classes in Remnant 2. I mean, how cool is that cowboy hat, right?
Let me assure you that is not the only good thing about this class. It aids your character in dealing raw damage to their enemies at a very extreme speed.
Considering the far-range playthrough, Gunslinger’s perks go hand in hand with Hunter. It also helps players achieve the highest fire rate increase, which will help you damage the enemies significantly.
Weapons
Below, I will list the name of the armor and weapons you can use in The Gunslinger.
| Armor | Weapons |
|---|---|
| High Noon Hat | Wrangler 1860 |
| High Noon Duds | Scrap Hatchet |
| High Noon Soles | Western Classic |
Weapons table for Gunslinger.
Challenger – Alchemist Archetype Combo
Challenger Perks
If the player likes to play a tank build in Remnant 2, this Archetype combination is best for you to use against the opponents.
The Challenger Archetype will help the player by decreasing the incoming damage from the enemies and also allow you to revive automatically when your health is getting low.
With the character dying numerous times during the final boss fight, I can vouch for this ability to be a game-changer. Due to this, the player will be able to fight with the opponent without dying in the middle of the battles, and it will also increase survivability.
Alchemist Perks
The Alchemist is the great Archetype for the Challenger class. You can unlock this class after collecting some secret items you can find in the area known as the Losomn.
I am going with Alchemist mainly to receive improved reload, melee attack speed, and HP regeneration.
Weapons
| Armor | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Academic's Hat | Wrangler 1860 |
| Academic's Overcoat | Bone Chopper |
| Academic's Gloves | Double Barrel |
Alchemist Weapons Table.
Summoner – Explorer Archetype Combo
Summoner Perks
The player can unlock the Summoner Archetype when they reach the place called the Yaesha. Here, players must buy the item called the Faded Grimoire from the Blood Alter.
Here are the three summoner Archetype items that will help you unlock the class:
- Faded Grimoire.
- 1,000 Scrap.
- Ten Luminite Crystals.
| Skills | Perks |
|---|---|
| Minion Reaver | Ruthless |
| Minion Flyer | Dominator |
| Minion Hollow | Outrage |
Summoner Skills and Perks table.
Explorer Perks
Players can unlock the Explorer, and Summoner is the Archetype class combo after reaching midway in the game. However, it is recommended to choose the Explorer class only when you want to collect rare items.
| Type | Weapons |
|---|---|
| Melee | Hero's Sword |
| Handgun | Repeater Pistol |
| Long Gun | Ford's Scattergun |
Explorer Weapons Table.
| Skills | Details |
|---|---|
| Planeswalker | Unlock at level 0 +20% movement speed 80% reduced stamina |
| Gold Digger | Unlock at level 5 +15% decrease in damage +1.5 HP regeneration per second |
| Fortune Hunter | Unlock at level 10 Tell you about all the unique items that you can find within 40 meters |
Explorer Skills Table.
- Unlock Requirement for gear.
Which Is The Best Combo?
I consider the Handler–Medic Archetype Combo best in Remnant 2.
In my humble opinion, Handler and Medic are two of the best-designed supporting classes in this game. I was quite surprised by these classes' skill set and felt almost invincible.
It was great to have a Dog companion who also revives you if you ever go down. Now mix that with the healing abilities of the Medic class, and you have a full package.
I recommend players mix and match and create something that suits their playstyle. Still, if you are looking for a well-rounded class that is easy to form, you should try the Handler and Medic combo.
Good job! Please give your positive feedback ☺️
