NEW: Remnant 2 Crossplay Now Available
Players can now play together across different platforms to fight against the root. Players can team up with friends or make new ones across different platforms to embark on a journey to defeat the root. For console players, the Crossplay feature is set to ON by default.Make sure that crossplay settings are in sync to team up with other players. If the feature is set to "OFF", this can prevent you from joining a game that has Crossplay enabled.
NOTE: PC settings that allow frame generation currently block the Epic Online Services overlay. This may affect Crossplay functionality because it is required to join friends in-game. A workaround for this if you don't want to disable the frame generation is to accept invites via the Epic Launcher before starting up the game.
Remnant 2Multiplayer Guide
Balance your Team
There are plenty of Archetypesto choose from in Remnant 2, and when playing online, you may want to have a well-rounded team to face the Root. Try to balance your team and not excel in only one area, leaving you vulnerable in others. Balancing your team is a fun way to play to each players' strengths
Communication
While there are a limited a amount of emotes that can be accessed, as well as a map "ping" system, just likethe first Remnant game, there is no in-game mechanism for communication. Players will need to utilize external services such as Discord, Steam chat, etc., in order to communicate with their teammates.
How to Unlock Co-op in Remnant 2
Players can unlock co-op in Remnant 2 as soon as they finish the prologue/tutorial area and reach Ward 13. Touch the World Stone for the first time and you will be able to invite up to two other players.
Remnant 2 Coop Loot Sharing
Most loot in Remnant 2 is shared between the group. This means that anything that is dropped and pick up, will immediately appear in each team member's inventory.
Notably, ammunition drops are not shared by default.
Quest items are tied to the host's campaign or adventure, and will not be retained when you leave.
Know your Role
Something equally important as balance is knowing your role.Players have to know their strength and weakness, and specially the role they fulfill in the battlefield. This allows you to complement better with your teammates, and know what is your part (specially in tough Bossfights), and what are the rest of the team parts.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) Multiplayer Coop and Online
How Does Multiplayer Work in Remnant 2
The multiplayer setting in Remnant 2 allows you to play with 2 other players regardless of your platform. This is a cooperative game that will let you share the experience with your friends to defeat bosses and fight your way through the campaign. One player must launch the game from their saved load and invite friends to join them. Make sure that the game session is either set to "Public" or "Friends Only" so they can find your game, otherwise, you can set your game to "Offline" to prevent anyone from joining your game.
While playing the game, the host will decide which region to play in by interacting withthe World Stone, the joiners simply need to touch the World Stone to fast-travel to that location.
Does Remnant 2 have Local Co-op?
No, Remnant 2 does not support local co-op in any of the available versions (Consoles or PC).
Remnant 2 Multiplayer Scaling System
The World Level generation in Remnant 2 is largely based on the host's Power Level. This means that the enemies can only go up to 3 Levels maximum even if there's a friend who is 5+ levels or more higher than the Host. The Remnant 2 Multiplayer is designed to provide enjoyment to all players in a session so that the campaign will not get too difficult, nor get too easy for those with lower levels.
