The highest difficulty setting in Remnant 2 is appropriately dubbed Apocalypse, and as thoroughly bruised players take to the game's online communities to criticize how punishing is, the folks at developer Gunfire Games have shared some choice words that will sound familiar to long-time Souls-like fans. In so many words: get good.
First, a quick primer for the folks who aren't familiar with max difficulty settings in Remnant games. As a general rule, you are lucky to survive two hits on Apocalypse – maybe three against weaker enemies, but bosses will often one-tap anything but the tankiest builds. Heavy tankiness may earn you the luxury of a two- or three-tap against bosses if you're lucky. You basically play Apocalypse to die, which is why it's optional and frankly not recommended. Some Remnant 2 players aren't thrilled with this unforgiving difficulty curve, but Gunfire is sticking to its guns.
