Upon reaching the end of Remnant II's tutorial section, you'll be tasked with crafting a weapon mod that attaches to your gun and allows you to use a specific damage or utility skill on a cooldown. There are four to choose from, and we'll break them down a bit below--but there's one that no doubt stands above the rest for most builds in the early portion of the game.

　　

Which weapon mod to make first in Remnant II

There are tons of weapon mods to buy and craft throughout Remnant II, but the tutorial gives you a selection of only four. Here's what to expect from all four, as well as what we think is your best option.

Healing Shot

This allows you to fire a payload at your allies to heal them for 35% of their max health, meaning it's really only useful if you intend to play with others. This is a decent choice for a Medic class to grab, but it's far from essential.

　　

Concussive Shot

This fires a damaging burst through nearby enemies, which can be useful for dealing with packs of foes. However, the early game isn't particularly challenging, so you're better off with a single-target damage option to help you clear bosses.

　　

Scrap Shot

This shoots a grenade that leaves caltrops on the ground. These will damage and slow any enemies that walk across them, making it a solid option for quick crowd control. Still, it's not quite useful enough to be the best here.

　　

Hot Shot

This imbues every shot you take with fire that sets a target ablaze and ticks away at their health for 10 seconds. This makes it immensely useful against the game's bosses, as they'll pose the biggest threat to you in the early game.

　　Any of the options you choose will provide their own situational uses, but as you can probably guess, Hot Shot is our pick for the best weapon mod to choose first. This mod's damage-over-time effect can speed boss battles up dramatically, which is an especially big help in the opening hours when your healing and mitigation options are so limited. We say bring the heat!
