Remnant 2 EngineerNotes & Trivia
- Ammo generation rate if affected by Skill Cooldown Reduction
- Prime perk cooldown is affected by Skill Cooldown Reduction
- Aim Movement Speed, Movement Speed, Evade Distance and Lifesteal bonuses (traits included) works while carrying a Heavy Weapon
- AOE Size bonuses works with Impact Cannon
- Deployed Heavy Weapons count as "Summons" for the purposes of Amulets & Rings.
- Heavy Weapons scale with only Skill damage.
- All Turrets have a 150% Base Critical Damage.
- Carried Heavy Weapon melee attack scales witch Melee Damage bonuses.
- Besides the Vulcan turret, all other Heavy weapons act different when either deployed in turret form or held by the player. Vulcan is a minigun in both forms, Flamethrower is a flamethrower when held and a fire grenade launcher in turret form, and lastly, the Impact Cannon is a chargeable rail gun when held and an AOE shockwave machine in turret form.
- While carrying a Heavy Weapon, the player will not trigger the cough animation when entering the poisonous fog around the boundaries of open areas in N'Erud, however, once the player triggers any animation that will make the Heavy Weapon disappear from their hands such as jumping or climbing, the cough animation will trigger right after the previous animation ends. (Working as of v384.210)
- Using the Alchemist Archetype's Vial: Stone Mist skill will allow you to survive N'Erud's Instant Death Blight fog for an extended period of time. This makes it much easier to unlock Engineer.
- Using a misty blink dodge (by combining the Ring of Omenswith any amulet from Yaesha) while carrying a turret in high water will still misty blink dodge instead of the high water hindered dodge.
