Remnant: From the Ashes - Subject 2923 has players pick up where the main story left off as they continue the fight for humankind.

To successfully put an end to the Root once and for all, players must overcome new puzzles and threats, traverse unfamiliar locations, and partner up with unexpected allies in hopes of saving the world. These new challenges will take players to a rural region of Earth, into a military base called ‘Ward Prime’, where the U.S. military began the Dreamer Program in the 1960’s - as well as the new world of Reisum, a frosty, mountainous, world inhabited by the Urikki, a horde of humanoid rats.

With all the new additions to Subject 2923, we went back and revamped a ton of older items to make them more viable across the board. The majority of the changes revolve around Trinkets (Amulets and Rings) and Armor. Yes, that’s right… another Armor Update! We looked at the functionality of each item – both new and old – to see how they would fit into different builds. We also considered feedback from our community, too. Lot’s of good ideas – some of which made it into the game!
Of course, a few items may have been a little on the “too strong” side of things, so we’ve made adjustments accordingly. Overall, our goal has always been to try to bring things up to par rather than nerf the fun stuff to boring levels, but once in a while there are a few items that just a bit out of line. In those cases, we’ve made adjustments while still buffing dozens and dozens of others.
We hope you find the new build options as exciting as we do!
We're incredibly excited to announce that Subject 2923, the final and largest DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, will be available on PC, Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on August 20 for $9.99! The final DLC for the hit survival action game will introduce the mysterious abandoned military base “Ward Prime” -- one of the DLC’s two unique zones. This DLC will also bring a new campaign mode “Subject 2923”, that concludes Remnant: From the Ashes’ thrilling post-apocalyptic story and adds all-new quests, bosses, weapons, trinkets, armor sets, and more. In addition, Remnant: From the Ashes - Complete Edition, which will include the Remnant: From the Ashes base game, the first premium DLC Swamps of Corsus and the upcoming premium DLC Subject 2923, will also launch digitally on August 20 on PC and consoles for $49.99.
Check out this trailer for a first look at Ward Prime:
World Walkers that take on the expedition to the military facility world of Ward Prime in Subject 2923 will come to find that it holds many unsolved mysteries, including the origins of “The Dreamers” and how they connect to the dreaded Root, the evil force plaguing Earth. In the 1960s, the US military discovered a large, alien stone etched with symbols along with a wall containing strange runes written in another language. When the runes were deciphered, they revealed the power of the World Stone and how to create Dreamers -- humans bonded with powerful entities in other worlds. The military set up a facility that would become known as Ward Prime for this purpose.
To put an end to the Root once and for all, you'll need to explore Ward Prime and uncover the truth behind the tragic events in the Ward, the Dreamer Program, and the various other Wards within the Remnant: From the Ashes multiverse.
Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and retake what was lost.
Remnant: From the Ashes is available digitally for $39.99 on PC (Steam), Xbox One, and PlayStation®4. The physical version is also available now at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, among other retailers for PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One for $39.99.
In the 1960s, the US military discovered a large, alien stone etched with symbols along with a wall containing strange runes written in another language. A bright young scientist named Dr. Urik Harsgaard lead a team of researchers who were tasked with translating these mysterious runes. Deciphering the writing told them the stone was called a World Stone and could enable them to travel to other worlds. It also showed them how to create “Dreamers”—humans bonded with powerful entities in these other worlds.
“September 30th, 1960 - Today is an auspicious day. The crystal and its corresponding structures beneath the atoll are secure, and Commander Neville has given us full access to the writings. The runes are unlike any script I've ever seen. Commander Neville believes they are of extraterrestrial origin, but I believe they originate from a civilization much, much older than any we have yet known.” – Dr. Urik Harsgaard’s Journal
The military set up a facility that would become known as Ward Prime. They began experiments involving the World Stone itself and eventually the human subjects called “Dreamers”. Due to his familiarity with the runes, Dr. Harsgaard took up the role of lead researcher on the Dreamer Project at Ward Prime. Utilizing what he had learned from the strange writing, he found “codes” that could be used to connect the dreamers to other worlds.
“February 18th, 1962. The author of the runes intrigues me. He speaks as though his people are immortal. At first, I interpreted this in a spiritual sense, like Heaven or the Hindu concept of nirvana, but the stories he tells are not those of souls that have moved on. He speaks of living beings carrying out mundane yet utopian lives. They’re real.” – Dr. Urik Harsgaard’s Journal
Although the initial Dreamer experiments started out very promising, they ended in tragedy, with the loss of life of both the dreamers and researchers involved. However, Dr. Harsgaard was not deterred. Ignoring the advice of his peers and safety protocols, he continued to push his teams at Ward Prime and the remote Wards to move forward with their research. After months of around the clock experiments, they were finally able to make a stable connection to another world using a dreamer.
“Given the tragic events in this ward and the close relation of those events to the dreamer projects, I have expressed my misgivings about initiating new dreamers in the other wards. We don’t know enough about these World Stones, and what we do know should induce more caution than it has. So far, Dr. Harsgaard and Commander Neville have ignored my misgivings. For what it’s worth, let the record show that I was against this whole damn thing from the start.” – Captain Andrew Ford's Log
The world of Reisum is deceptive in its nature. From the frost covered mountain peaks to the snowy tundra, it is a thing of beauty. The ice and snow sparkle as they reflect the rays of light from the world’s distant sun. However, the bitterly cold temperatures and almost unrelenting winter makes life on the surface of Reisum nearly unbearable. Prolonged exposure to the surface temperatures has been known to take the life of even the most unwavering and resolute warriors.
The only thing deadlier than the temperatures of Reisum is its inhabitants. The most brutal are known as Urikki, giant warlike creatures baring a slight resemblance to the rodents of earth. The Urikki have become the dominant force on this world due to their strength and ferocity. The Urikki descended from the more numerous and smaller creatures known as the Emin. The Emin still exist, living much as they always have, below the surface in networks of tunnels known as Warrens. Many years ago, the first and greatest of the Urikki, Magir, swore a blood oath to his dying mother that the Emin would pay for their misdeeds. To this day, the Urikki’s vengeance often takes the form of raids on Emin’s Warrens in the middle of the harshest winter months.
“Remember the great deeds of those long-forgotten; for their lessons are hard won. The blood of the few are too often spilled for the many. Let not their bones turn to dust and presume ourselves courageous… yet live timid beneath their shadows.” - Atul, Speaker for the Dead
Urikki tribes often employ ice skiffs to ply the vast distances of the open steppes. These long, slender vessels are adorned with runes and pictograms exalting the clan’s greatest deeds and celebrate its bravest warriors. The tribes of the Black Tundra have even been known to live on larger versions of these graceful vessels. A caravan of these ships skating across the frigid ice floes is truly a sight to behold.
“We gather stones to commemorate our glorious dead. Each stone used in the afterlife to build the Great Hall of Varussk. Each stone to mark a single tear for their passage from this world to the next. Like stone, their deeds remain unbroken, like stone their memories everlasting. We, the Urikki, remember… and follow in glory!” - Osvek, Hakun of the Northern Steppes
New zones, weapons, items and more bring an end to the Root once and for all. Subject 2923 will introduce a brand new campaign mode “Subject 2923”, that concludes Remnant: From the Ashes’ thrilling post-apocalyptic story. The DLC will also be packed with two unique zones, all-new quests, bosses, weapons, trinkets, armor sets and more.
Survivors will continue the fight for humankind and put an end to the dreaded Root, the evil force plaguing Earth, in Remnant: From the Ashes – Subject 2923. In a brand new campaign mode, players will discover the origins of the Dreamer Program and its connection to the Root. Following the downfall of the Dreamer, the streets have grown quieter, and more humans are braving the city. Hope has been rekindled, but Earth is not rid of the Root just yet. As players seek out the location of the remaining Root, they will meet unexpected allies, traverse unfamiliar zones and dimensions, and overcome new threats to put an end to this evil force once and for all. This thrilling new adventure will span across the rugged wilderness of Earth and beyond, where players will experience new quests to complete, new gear to acquire, along with new enemies and bosses to conquer.

We've released a hotfix for the Swamps of Corsus update that fixes bugs, rebalances Mod power, and adds additional changes!
Build: 236263
[ General ]
Disappearing Items
Fixed an issue causing disappearing items in MP under certain circumstances
DEVELOPER COMMENT: In the last patch, we prevented this from happening on new characters, however, on current characters that had already triggered this bug, it would still happen. Now, characters that have (or will) skipped tutorial to immediately join a multiplayer game should no longer see this issue again.
[ Player ]
Mod Generation
Fixed a bug that enabled damage boosts to generate huge amounts of Mod Power
DEVELOPER COMMENT: A while ago, we fixed a bug that was causing high level weapons to generate more mod power than low level weapons. However, the bug persisted with damage boosting mods. At the highest levels of gear (and higher levels of Survival), mods were filling almost instantly. We fixed this issue and went through all mods to adjust their buildup values. See “Mods” for more info.
Mod Generation Overlap
Fixed a bug that prevented extra mod power from filling unfilled charges
DEVELOPER COMMENT: For mods with charges, when a player filled a charge, additional mod generation for the next charge was clipped. This means that if you had 25 power remaining to fill a charge, and you generated 100 mod power, you’d only generate 25 to fill that mod and the remaining 75 mod power would disappear. Now, the overlap mod generation will carry into any additional charges that are currently unfilled. This makes mod generation much smoother for mods with charges!
Trait: Spirit
Increased max value from 20% to 25%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the change to mod generation, we wanted to boost up the Spirit Trait a small amount to make it even more enticing. We may increase this over time as we monitor buildup!
[ Survival ]
Enemies
Reduced enemy health gain by 4% per world level increase
Decreased boss health from 150% to 135%
Added small exponential HP scalar per level
DEVELOPER COMMENT: In the last update, we increased the base HP for all enemies by 4% and increased the base HP for all enemies as well. Players were having a harder time at early levels, so instead, we reduced the values and added a small exponential HP scalar per world level up. The scalar is small so that has almost no noticeable effect on enemy HP until about level 10. The values are also much closer to the original DLC release tuning for the first 10 or so levels. As players get into much higher world levels, this change will become more obvious.
Consumables
Fixed Survival Mode Consumables to use proper Survival Mode values
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We noticed that some of the 1-hour consumables in Survival Mode were still using the Campaign Mode values behind the scenes. They’ve all been updated to give the appropriate values listed in their description. This should also make them much more viable in-game.
Matchmaking
Fix for normal gametypes appearing in Survival Matchmaking
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Small bugfix!
[ Items ]
Campaign DLC Trinkets
Enabled Campaign DLC-flagged trinkets so they can be used on pickup
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Certain bugged trinkets that we made visible in the last patch began showing up in Campaign for players with no DLC. This was thinning out their loot pool with items they couldn’t use, so we enabled them for use for all players.
Daredevil Charm
Fixed damage multiplier to prevent it from stacking improperly
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The DDC was stacking damage buffs improperly allowing for an insane damage boost (up to 3x in some cases). We identified the issue and fixed it!
Band of Castor / Band of Pollux Combo
Fixed a bug that prevented clients from receiving the paired bonus
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The paired bonus wasn’t working under certain conditions and we identified why. Players should now be able to utilize the bonus as both host and client.
[ Armor ]
Ex-Cultist
Blood Pact Set Bonus: Increased 1-PC from 12.5% to 15%
Blood Pact Set Bonus: Increased 2-PC from 25% to 30%
Blood Pact Set Bonus: Increased 3-PC from 40% to 50%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the changes to mod generation, we wanted to ensure that methods for generating mod power were enticing. The Ex-Cultist Armor received a boost to all its tiers which make it an incredibly exciting option, even at the highest levels.
[ Weapons ]
Assault Rifle
Increased magazine capacity from 28 to 32
Increased total capacity from 196 to 224
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Based on our own testing and community feedback, we’ve decided to give the Assault Rifle a small boost in its magazine capacity and total capacity.
Chicago Typewriter
Increased base damage from 11 to 12
Reduced reload speed by 6.5%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Chicago Typewriter is excellent for spitting out bullets for an extended period but compared to the Beam Rifle (which recently received a capacity boost), it was falling off at higher levels. We increased the damage which has increased both the single-clip DPS and the full capacity DPS by a noticeable amount. This should make it a much more interesting choice.
Ricochet Rifle
Increased first bounce damage from 0.5 to 0.85
Reduced subsequent bounce modifier from 0.85 to 0.75
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Ricochet Rifle first bounce penalty felt a little too punishing to use in creative ways (like shooting around corners). We increased this considerably and reduced the subsequent bounce value to compensate. Overall, the Ricochet Rifle now does +60 total damage.
Butcher’s Flail
Reduced base damage from 68 to 60
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Butcher’s Flail and the base Flail had identical base damage which meant the Butcher’s Flail was always superior due to the debuff. We reduced the damage slightly so that it still matches (and eventually exceeds) the base Flail damage output while the debuff is active.
[ Enemies ]
Barbed Terror
Reduced base HP by approximately 12%
Fixed an issue causing Barbed Terror to trigger the wrong hit-reaction state
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Barbed Terror has a ton of HP because he stands still, and the entire fight can be done with only weakspot damage. However, after feedback from the community, we decided to reduce his base HP just enough to make a noticeable difference in the length of the fight.
Shade/Shatter
Fixed a few bug causing Lurkers to stop pathing
DEVELOPER COMMENT: In some cases, navigation mesh wasn’t being properly generated and it caused Lurkers to lose their way. In other cases, the pressure value of the Shield would prevent Lurkers from wanting to attack you. We fixed this as well!
Claviger
Fixed bridge not showing up sometimes for clients
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Occasionally, the bridge to the Claviger fight would not appear for clients joining the battle. We identified some issues and took care of them.
[ Mods ]
General
Readjusted the buildup for all mods
DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the overall change to how mod power was built, we went through every mod and adjusted their power requirement. For the most part, mods are placed into one of four categories: Low under (550), Medium (550), High (1100), and Unique (above 1100). The average of 550 requires 10 shots from a Hunting Rifle. High requires 20 shots. There are some outliers, especially boss weapons, which are based on the damage of their weapon’s primary fire.
Explosive Shot
Reduced Friendly Fire scalar from 0.25 to 0.15
DEVELOPER COMMENT: This should reduce the chance you kill yourself or your teammates.
Blink Token
Increased base damage from 140 to 210
Increased Power Requirement from 250 to 275
Reduced Total Charges from 5 to 3
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Blink Token damage was too low for our tastes, so we increased it by about 34% and adjusted the power requirement. Since it builds so quickly, we reduced the total charges to 3 to promote more of a blink, damage, blink, damage type of gameplay instead of using up all 5 at once.
Wildfire Shot
Reduced Power Requirement from 400 to 275
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Since Wildfire Shot adds 3 stacks all at once and then cannot stack any further, we reduced this to “Low” requirement, so you have quicker access to it and more frequent uses.
Seeker Beetle
Reduced Power Requirement from 350 to 275
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Seeker needed a bit of love so we reduced the power requirement.
Seed Caller
Reduced Power Requirement from 400 to 275
DEVELOPER COMMENT: A general change for both Seed Caller, Beckon, and Iron Sentinel. We moved them into “Low” requirement, so you have access to it more quickly.
Beckon
Reduced Power Requirement from 350 to 275
DEVELOPER COMMENT: A general change for both Seed Caller, Beckon, and Iron Sentinel. We moved them into “Low” requirement, so you have access to it more quickly.
Unstable Quills
Increased Power Requirement from 350 to 550
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We think the strength of Unstable Quills is in a good spot, but the power requirement was a tad low. We moved it into the “Medium” category.
Iron Sentinel
Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 550
Fixed a bug that prevented VFX/SFX from playing with Soul Ember equipped
DEVELOPER COMMENT: A general change for both Seed Caller, Beckon, and Iron Sentinel. We also moved Sentinel into “Medium” requirement, so you have access to it more quickly.
Corrosive Aura
Reduced Power Requirement from 650 to 550
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Due to the risk of getting in close, we wanted to make Corrosive Aura available more of the time, so we reduced it to “Medium” level.
Breath of the Dessert
Reduced Power Requirement from 550 to 420
Increased base damage of projectile from 25 to 30
DEVELOPER COMMENT: When mod generation was being affected by damage boosts, Breath of the Desert became easy to spam at higher levels. To balance it in previous versions, we reduced the damage and adjusted mod requirement. Since we’ve adjusted how mod power generates, we reduced the power requirement and increased the base damage.
Hotshot
Increased Power Requirement from 500 to 550
Fixed a bug causing Evocation to increase Damage Buff instead of just Burn Damage
DEVELOPER COMMENT: In the previous patch, Hotshot’s damage buff was being affected by the Evocation Trait. We fixed this issue and increased the buildup slightly to “Medium”.
Hunter’s Mark
Increased Power Requirement from 500 to 550
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The requirement was increased marginally to “Medium”.
Rift Walker
Reduced Cooldown from 20s to 15s
Reduced Power Requirement from 1500 to 1100
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We eased up on the cooldown and the power requirement.
Stormcaller
Reduced Power Requirement from 1250 to 1100
Increased AOE damage from 10 to 15 per tick
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The AOE damage was lacking on Stormcaller so we increased it by 50%. This makes it a bit deadlier when dancing around mobs at close-range.
Howler’s Immunity
Increased Power Requirement from 750 to 1100
DEVELOPERS COMMENT: Howler’s Immunity is extremely good at reducing all incoming damage to you and your team. We moved this into the “High” category, so it requires a bit more buildup.
Swarm
Increased Power Requirement from 750 to 1100
DEVELOPER COMMENT: One of the strongest mods in the game, we didn’t want to reduce any of its functionality so we simply put it into the “high” requirement category.
Song of Swords
Increased Power Requirement from 1000 to 1100
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Moving this into the “High” category by slightly increasing the requirement.
Flicker Cloak
Reduced Cooldown from 15s to 10s
Increased Power Requirement from 1000 to 1100
DEVELOPER COMMENT: With the mod generation fix, we reduced the cooldown on Flicker Cloak and increased the requirement slightly.
Veil of the Black Tear
Increased Min duration from 5s to 10s
Increased Max duration from 10s to 15s
Reduced Power Requirement from 1250 to 1100
DEVELOPER COMMENT: While Veil is incredibly powerful in a couple of fights, we felt that the duration at both low and high levels where a bit too short. We fixed the durations and reduced the power requirement to “High”.
Rattleweed
Increased Power Requirement from 1000 to 1100
Fixed a bug that prevented VFX/SFX from playing with Soul Ember equipped
DEVELOPER COMMENT. A general bug fix along with a slight power requirement increase to put Rattleweed into the “High” requirement.
Mender’s Aura
Reduced Power Requirement from 1500 to 1650
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Mender’s Aura is a staple at many levels of play. We felt that “High” was still a bit too frequent, so we have it a “Unique” power requirement.
Banish (Repulsor)
Increased the duration of the post-banish debuff from 4s to 8s
Reduced Power Requirement from 400 to 200
Reduced Total Charges from 5 to 3
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The duration of the damage debuff of Banish felt too short to properly make use of it so we doubled it. This also applies to bosses, though they cannot be Banished. We also reduced the Power Requirement so that it only takes 2 shots to fill a charge. We also reduced the overall charges to compensate for the quicker buildup.
Spore Shot (Sporebloom)
Increased Power Requirement from 500 to 600
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slightly increased the power requirement so that Spore Shot builds with 3 shots of Sporebloom.
Radioactive Volley (Defiler)
Increased Power Requirement from 250 to 205
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reduced the power requirement so that Volley builds in 4 shots of Defiler.
Gravity Core (Particle Accelerator)
Reduced Power Requirement from 1500 to 1400
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slightly reduced the power requirement so that Gravity Core builds with 4 full magazines of Particle Accelerator.
Undying (Ruin)
Reduced Power Requirement from 3000 to 2825
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slightly reduced the power requirement so that Undying builds with 5 full magazines of Ruin.
Skewer (Devastator)
Reduced Power Requirement from 1000 to 640
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reduced the power requirement so that Skewer builds in 4 shots of Devastator.
Hive Shot (Hive Cannon)
Reduced Power Requirement from 500 to 380
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reduced the power requirement so that Hive Shot now fills with 1 full magazine of Hive Cannon.
Vampiric (Pride of the Iskal)
Reduced Power Requirement from 750 to 590
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Reduced power requirement so that Vampiric now fills with 1 full magazine of Pride of the Iskal.
Tentacle Shot (Curse of the Jungle God)
Increased Power Requirement from 400 to 450
Fixed a bug that prevented VFX/SFX from playing with Soul Ember equipped
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Slightly increased the power requirement so that Tentacle Shot now fills with 1 full magazine of Curse of the Jungle God.
Static Field Shot (Eye of the Storm)
Reduced Power Requirement from 350 to 320
Increased Large Explosion trigger range by 1m
Reduced total charges from 5 to 3
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted to make the alt-fire of Eye of the Storm more useful, so we reduced the requirement and increased the trigger range of the Large Explosion (triggered by 2 Overloaded Enemies near each other) by 1m. Since the Large Explosion is easier to trigger now, we reduced the total charges from 5 to 3.
[ Other ]
Art (General)
Fixed a handful of art-related bugs
Hardened Carapace (Crafting Material)
Fixed an issue that prevented players from picking up more than 1 at a time
Please restart your game client to apply the update. Players will need to be on the same version to group up in multiplayer.
A hotfix for the Swamps of Corsus update is being released that fixes a number of bugs, rebalances some numbers, and adds a few quality of life changes to Remnant!
Build: 235609
[ General ]
Difficulty
Adjusted general enemy health and damage on Hard, Nightmare, and Apocalypse
Adjusted boss health and damage on Hard, Nightmare, and Apocalypse
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Many players noticed a difficulty increase across the board (on Hard and Nightmare) so we made a few tweaks to bring the health and damage values back in line. This should give a much smoother experience across the board and remove some of the more punishing encounters… outside of Apocalypse, of course!
Missing Trinkets
Fixed an issue preventing certain DLC trinkets from appearing in Campaign/Adventure
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We identified an issue that prevented some DLC items from spawning in Campaign and Adventure Mode. Rerolling these areas will give them a chance to spawn like all other items. Hopefully, you can find some cool builds with them!
[ Player]
Fall Damage
Adjusted Fall Damage to no longer scale with Friendly Fire damage modifier
DEVELOPER COMMENT: On harder difficulties, did you ever fall and insta-gib yourself? Call 1-800-OUR-BAD1… that’s 1-800-OUR-BAD1. (FIXED).
Neutral Backdash
Fixed issue with Neutral Evade cancel window being 2f too early
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The aim-cancel window on Neutral Backdash (non-Leto) was a few frames too early allowing for near permanent backdash invulnerability with Akari 1-PC and Ring of Evasion (with enough stamina of course). We adjusted this to keep things honest.
Dots / Stacks
Fixed Dot Stacks (Burn/Bleed) to properly gain damage increasing bonuses
Melee Damage causing Stacks will properly receive Melee Boosts
Burning Stacks applied by Hotshot will get properly boosted by Mod Damage Boosts
DEVELOPER COMMENT: A handful of Burn and Bleed stacks were not getting the proper damage buffs from the damage source. We fixed this!
Mod Damage Increases
Fixed Mods to properly show bonus damage obtained by Armor Mod Damage Boosts
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Visual change. That is all.
Emotes
Nerfed “Distant Woo”
DEVELOPER COMMENT: JK, we didn’t change anything.
[ Survival ]
General
Added Consumable Chance from Supply Crates
Added Survival Version # to Stats Page
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We noticed players had lower consumables and an abundance of ammo in Survival (leading to lack of Ammo Box purchases). To fix both issues at once, we replaced a small percentage of ammo drops from Supply Crates with consumables. We also added a Survival Version # to the Stats Page so players can see which versions new world records are set on!
Enemies
Increased enemy health gain by 4% per world level increase
Increased boss health by approximately 15%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We noticed that at higher levels, bosses were dying a tad too fast. We slightly increased the general health gain per level and added a little bit extra for bosses. This should make them last just a bit longer but they should still be pretty easy once you get a great build going!
Armor Gain
Adjusted Survival Divine Nectar Armor gain from 35 Flat to 25%
Adjusted Survival Barkskin Trait Armor gain from 15 Flat to 15%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Survival Barkskin and Divine Nectar was adding a Flat value to the player instead of a Percentage. This means that a base armor of 50 would end up with 350 armor with max Barkskin. With the changes to percentage, it brings all armors back in line and prevents Daredevil Charm from gaining almost the same armor as an actual armor set… but with no penalty! This change should make most runs a bit shorter (both with and without Armor) but we fully expect to see the most dedicated players set crazy records!
Rewards
Changed Loop of Prosperity to the 25 total kill reward (Account Bound)
Added Talisman of Perseverance to 50 total kill reward (Account Bound)
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Talisman of Perseverance was always meant to be an Account Bound reward in Survival Mode. We got this hooked up properly and moved it to 50 total kills. If you’ve already obtained 50 total kills, simply beating 1 additional boss should fix it. We also moved Loop of Prosperity to 25 total kills. As with Perseverance, if you already have 25 kills, 1 additional boss kill should unlock it. If you have obtained Perseverance in Pan, it will remain with your character but will not be Account Bound until you unlock it in Survival Mode.
[ Weapons ]
Ruin
Undying Cooldown no longer resets when touching Worldstone
Undying Cooldown now has a secret…
DEVELOPER COMMENT: World Stones were resetting the Ruin cooldown giving a “free revive” every single new biome on Survival. We fixed this. However, we also added a hidden feature to Ruin. Can you figure it out!? =O
Beam Rifle
No longer stacks with other players
Slightly reduced Ramp increment from 0.3 to 0.25
Adjusted hidden enemy ramp Buff Duration from 2s to 1.05s
DEVELOPER COMMENT: When we buffed the Beam Rifle for the DLC, we neglected to remove the hidden “team buff” feature (which we never even explained to players). This resulted in double and triple stacking Beams doing max damage right off the bat – a little too strong! We also left the core damage but reduced the leniency in the debuff. It still does more sustain damage than any other weapon in the game (by a good margin) but requires holding the Beam on targets more consistently.
Pride of the Iskal
Fixed an issue that caused players to gain full Mod Power when dealing damage post-cast
DEVELOPER COMMENT: While we want you to be able to gain Mod power quickly… this may have been a little too fast, no? Fixed!
[ Mods ]
Blink Token
No longer deals damage to allies
DEVELOPER COMMENT: This was annoying. We fixed it! Spam away!
Swarm
Fixed an issue causing Swarm to do insane damage at point blank range
DEVELOPER COMMENT: This has no effect on normal use… unless your normal use was casting it point blank to do maximum damage. If that’s the case. UNCOOL!
Flicker Cloak
Reduced Power Requirement from 1500 to 1000
Increased Duration from 10s to 15s
Added Cooldown of 15s post Shield expiration
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Flicker Cloak at lower levels took a little too long to build. At higher levels, the build is near instant. We reduced the Power Requirement for easier access at lower levels, Increased the Duration, and added a cooldown to prevent constant spamming (invulnerability) on higher difficulties.
Rift Walker
Added Cooldown of 20s post use
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Rift Walker became highly abusable once Mod generation was near instant. To fix this, we added a short cooldown to prevent spamming it and remaining invulnerable forever.
Seeker Beetle
Reduced Power Requirement from 600 to 350
Reduced Charges to 3
DEVELOPER COMMENT: We wanted this to be used a bit more frequently but without spamming all 5 at once. We reduced the Power Requirement by almost half and reduced the total Charges by 2.
Mender's Aura
Increased effect on NPCs from 50% to 100% (Root Mother, Liz/Liz, etc)
DEVELOPER COMMENT: SAVE THEM!
Corrosive Aura
Increased range from 4.5m to 5m (to match Scrapper)
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Small Quality of Life change.
[ Items ]
General
Fixed an issue causing 9 DLC Trinkets from appearing in Campaign and Adventure
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Go forth and find the loots. Sorry about that one!
Daredevil Charm
Increased Damage Bonus from 25% per piece to 30%
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The previous version was approximately a 20% damage buff against all pure armor and damage loadouts. However, it came with a heavy penalty of no protection. This worked decently in Campaign but due to Flat Armor Gain in Survival, it became too strong. However, with the Armor gain issue in Survival fixed, this trinket became less worth the risk. We increased the total damage over all DPS builds by approximately 30% (give or take) in all modes.
Jewel of the Black Sun
Increased Duration from 15s to 20s
Increased Bonus from 6% to 7%
DEVELOPER COMMENTS: Small buff to bring it above other rings due to the requirement. Increased the duration and the damage buff just a bit!
[ Enemies ]
Fleshopede
Now drops ammo.
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Handy!
Barbed Terror
Fixed an issue causing Barbed Terror’s legs to appear during Hunter’s Mark
DEVELOPERS COMMENT: Seriously, though. Why.
Raze
Fixed an issue causing application of Burning effect through iFrames (Dodge)
DEVELOPER COMMENT: This is one we missed. Fixed now!
Riphide
Fixed an issue with healthbar sticking up for clients in multiplayer
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Nothing to see here… at least, not anymore!
Onslaught
Staggers should no longer prevent him from returning from a Teleport
DEVELOPER COMMENT: Sorry Teawrex!
Iskal Queen
Slightly reduced overall health for All Difficulties
Slightly reduced damage for All Difficulties
DEVELOPER COMMENT: The Queen was a bit too "bullet-spongey" and a bit too punishing, particularly on Hard and Nightmare difficulties. Along with the difficulty mode adjustments, a small reduction in base stats should put her in a good spot while keeping the challenge alive. If you want an insane challenge, though, try her on Apocalypse difficulty!
[ Bug Fixes ]

Added a null check to prevent crashes from bad item instances
Game User Settings Crash
Fixed a crash caused by attempting to get input devices
Opalescent Shell
Fixed an issue causing anti-cheat to trigger when submitting Opalescent Shell on clients

Glowing Fragments
Fixed an issue causing Glowing Fragments from sometimes being saved in coop
Mod Descriptions
Fixed an issue with Mod Descriptions being cut off in some resolutions

Removed a black occlusion plane that appeared in one of the doorways
Widgets/Toasts
Fixed an issue causing certain notifications getting stomped by other notifications
Checkpoint Indicator
Fixed an issue where Checkpoint Indicator was disabled if Tutorials were disabled

Fixed some general audio cues. Nothing too crazy!

Face new challenges and fight to survive in Remnant: From the Ashes - Swamps of Corsus DLC, available now on PC! Coming to Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June 4.
Battle new threats in Swamps of Corsus, a new premium DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, now available on PC (Steam) for $9.99, along with a bundle including the Remnant: From the Ashes base game and Swamps of Corsus DLC for $44.99. From April 28 to May 3, the bundle will be available for 40% off the retail price as part of Steam Midweek Madness. The new DLC and DLC bundle will be coming to Xbox One and PlayStation®4 on June 4.
In the latest DLC for Remnant: From the Ashes, players navigate a more deadly version of the world of Corsus, inhabited by the Cult of Iskal, and also take on the toughest challenge yet: the brand-new, rogue-like “Survival Mode.” In the revamped Corsus zone exclusively in Adventure mode, the hive mind Cult of Iskal has claimed the swamps for themselves, proving to be as lethal and dangerous as the Root, the evil force plaguing Earth. All hope is not lost for players, however, as a lone holdout remains, out of reach of the Iskal’s grasp. To change the future of Corsus, players must confront the Queen and stop the Iskal once and for all or choose to help her complete the Iskal’s plan. Exploring Corsus in Adventure Mode gives players the chance to earn unique rewards - including three powerful weapons - by overcoming various challenges in the form of deadly overworld enemies, side dungeons and epic bosses, like the menacing Barbed Terror. Along with the swarm of new content in the Swamps of Corsus, the DLC includes a new rogue-like test of will in “Survival Mode.” This intense mode thrusts players into a completely randomized permadeath experience that challenges them to progress as far as they can in one life. In the new mode, players start with nothing but a Repeater Pistol, a few consumables and a handful of scrap. Players travel randomly through corrupted World Stones to various biomes and fight for survival against hordes of enemies that get stronger with each stage, in hopes of finding epic rewards, such as new armor, and new weapons - like the Hero’s Sword that unleashes a powerful wave attack.
New Mode – Survival: Players fight for their lives as they begin their journey with nothing but a pistol, some scrap and the skin on their back in this new rogue-like game mode! Those brave enough will travel randomly through corrupted World Stones to different biomes, scrap-up gear, fight insanely-difficult bosses and test their endurance.
The Iskal Rise – The swamps of Corsus swarm with new content! Players will discover a plethora of new content in Corsus, including a new zone, new bosses, new stories, new events, new quests, and more.
Lock & Load – Adventurers will collect new items, new armor, new weapons, new mods and new traits.
Armor Skins – By defeating bosses in Survival Mode, or the Hard and Nightmare difficulties in Campaign and Adventure Mode, players earn Glowing Shards which can be used to purchase alternate armor skins for every piece of armor available in the game.
Remnant: From the Ashes is a third-person survival action shooter set in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by monstrous creatures. As one of the last remnants of humanity, you set out alone or alongside up to two other players to face down hordes of deadly enemies and epic bosses, and try to carve a foothold, rebuild, and then retake what was lost. Remnant: From the Ashes is available digitally for $39.99 on PC (Arc and Steam), Xbox One and PlayStation®4. The physical version is also available now at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, among other retailers for PC, PlayStation®4 and Xbox One for $39.99.
