Traits in Remnant 2 provide crucial boosts to your build and can be unlocked in several ways.
While some are unlocked by default or part of a specific archetype, other Traits in Remnant 2 can be earned by completing side quests, defeating specific bosses, or helping teammates.
Players will begin with five Traits—the four given by default and a fifth specific to the Archetype you have chosen.
Choices on Traits are not final, as you can redistribute by speaking to Wallace in Ward 13. However, there is no way to simply refund one or two, as the Orb of Undoing completely resets all Traits.
If you’re on the hunt for a specific trait or want to know the available options, we’ve got you covered.
It should be noted that some of these drops are random, with specific enemies possibly dropping a number of Traits.
