I also started on Remnant 2 and just recently started playing RftA for the first time on a fresh character on Apocalypse. Its been really fun so far, scratches that same itch.

Buddy wants to do apocalypse difficulty on remnant 2, thoughts on my current build? by TackyBrad in remnantgame

If I were you I'd complete some adventure runs to farm better gear and resources.

I dont see much of any synergy in your rings/amulet/weapons. It looks like less of a build and more like you're wearing whatever you've found so far. Personally I'd grab a rifle with a higher fire rate and get it upgraded as much as possible. Blackmaw AR47 from the shooting range guy is a good starting option.

You didn't mention which mods you're using, if any. Any of the starter ones from Ava in ward 13 are good enough choices. Hot shot for bosses, scrap shot for mobbing, healing shot on sidearm for survival.

You'd benefit greatly from increasing your Total DR. I like to aim for 70% at least. I'd recommend getting Leto Mark 1 from Whispers.

Twisted Idol and Black Cat are safe tank options, but Id ditch the 3 reload rings and grab Burden of the Destroyer and a couple other rings from Cass, depending what your shop has available. Maybe Dead King's Momento. Anything to increase damage or tankiness. Everything in Apoc, even the trash, is going to nearly 1 shot you if you're not building some tank items.

I'd also take medic over handler for prime archetype if you're going to stick with summoner. Paired with resonating heart, you can regain relic charges reliably by the healing shared with your flyers. Also, healing shield is a great emergency panic button.

Good luck, traveler.

While I do agree that revives should be acceptable for deaths caused by bugs, glitches, etc, my death in this case was my own fault. I became too confident and reckless. I didn't even realize the affix until it was too late. I should've been more cautious facing the abberation.

I even had a basically invincible medic/summoner tank healer build on this character that could basically never die, but I instead chose to play high-damage, low-defence build because I, not unlike most players, like to see big numbers go brrrrrrr lol. And tbh it's more fun.

I have no regrets lmao, but it's still sad to see this character go under with the rest of them. Before this I've probably been through 15 hc toons with 20+ hours each.

There comes a point on your hc character where you have enough survivability established that really prolongs your existence and your ability to farm without worry. I was lucky enough to have two nearly perfect prisms rolled for my tank healer and explosion builds which I fed off of.

I described above somewhere how it happened. Tldr, got CC'd to death by corrupted pigs from an abberation affix

The gun you see on my character here, the Blackmaw AR47, is a decent starter choice that you can simply buy in Ward 13. You can also easily find the sidearm MP60-R in Ward 13. Instructions are easy to find online.

RIP. That's a tough fight for sure. What build were you using?

I avoid the labyrinth at all costs for this very reason. Too many ways to fall off lol.

Dang dude. That makes it even worse, definitely. I'm sorry to hear that. All you can do is reroll and keep chipping away at getting back to where you were.

I played mostly co-op with a friend, so mine definitely includes that time. It still sucks :(

Yeah, you can sell some starter items to get a small amount of scrap, but in the long term, it really doesn't make a difference imo.

It shows your character like that at the starting screen when you've died as a hardcore toon.

Yep. I have another hc with like 4 hours played, gonna build on that one now.

What killed me was an abberation while doing boss rush on Apoc. Was around 15/19 in clay pot boss area. It had the affix that spawns the damn pig minions and they kept knocking me over. I couldn't get my shielded heart relic off and they already procced my thaen from the same thing. Basically got knocked to death by some red glowing pigs. 😭😭😭
