Summary
Ahead of the game’s official launch on July 25,Remnant 2entered its early access period this weekend. In a very short time,Remnant 2’s early launch has proven to be a massive success, with the game catapulting to the top of the Steam sale charts and also seeing plenty of players on consoles. The official launch is fast approaching for Standard and Deluxe Edition owners, meaning the question of which starting class to choose might be looming over players' heads. For those that are hoping to focus on co-op play and fulfill a critical support role, the Medic might be the best starting archetype inRemnant 2.
As the name would suggest, the Medic isRemnant 2’s healing-focused support class. Not as durable as some of the other classes and featuring a steep learning curve, players choosing the Medic might have a tough go of things in the early hours of the game or when playing solo. But, with some time spent toward in-game progress and leveling up, the Medic can be one of the best and most important classes for those hoping to keep their squad afloat duringRemnant 2’s toughest moments.

Remnant 2: Medic Perks and Skills
Not only does the Medic have one of the best starting classskills ofRemnant 2’s archetypes, but it also has the benefit of starting with what is perhaps the best starting long gun in the XMG57 Bonesaw. This machine gun has a great rate of fire along with a massive ammo reserve, meaning players can deploy the Medic’s Wellspring skill to regenerate health in an AoE while laying down suppressing fire on foes. Playing as a Medic equates to being the main means of support for a squad, but that doesn’t mean that the class isn’t fun to play in its own right.
In addition to having the most sizable health pool of any starting class, the Medic’s perks and skills are all built around benefiting the player the more they support and heal their squad. Most of the Medic’s class skills have long cooldowns, meaning careful micromanagement is crucial to success. Still, the Wellspring skill that the Medic starts with is one of the best skills in the game and could be a life-saver for players' squads when facing up against some ofRemnant 2’s numerous powerful enemies.
