A Remnant 2 item tracker is a community-made checklist or interactive tool that helps you log which weapons, armor, rings, amulets, and other collectibles you have already found in the game, so you can see what is still missing and where to get it. The game has hundreds of items scattered across procedurally generated worlds, and no single playthrough shows you all of them, so a tracker is essential for completionists.
Why You Need an Item Tracker
Remnant 2 generates each world’s layout, boss encounters, and even some side dungeons randomly every time you start a new campaign or roll an adventure mode. That means a ring you found in one playthrough might not even appear in the next. With over 200 rings, 50+ weapons, and dozens of armor pieces and amulets, it is nearly impossible to remember what you have collected without a system. A tracker solves this by giving you a single place to mark items as obtained, and often links to the specific world or event that spawns them.
How Remnant 2 Item Trackers Work
Most trackers are either interactive websites or downloadable spreadsheets. They list every item in the game, usually sorted by category (weapons, armor, rings, amulets, relics, mutators, and trophies). You check off what you have, and the tracker automatically calculates your completion percentage. Some advanced trackers also let you filter by world (N’Erud, Yaesha, Losomn, and the Labyrinth) or by how the item is obtained (world drop, boss drop, quest reward, or purchased from a vendor).
For example, the Ring of the Damned is a world drop that can appear in any dungeon on any world. A tracker will list it under “Rings” and note that it’s random, so you know to keep checking every dungeon. In contrast, the Nightfall weapon is a guaranteed reward from the Nightweaver boss in Losomn, so a tracker will mark it as a boss drop and tell you which world to reroll.
How to Choose a Tracker
Not all trackers are created equal. Here is what to look for:
- Completeness: Does it include all DLC items and the latest patch additions? Some trackers lag behind updates.
- Ease of use: Can you quickly check off items while playing, or do you have to switch windows constantly? A mobile-friendly design helps.
- Accuracy: Does it show the correct acquisition method? Some items have misleading descriptions on community wikis.
- Export/Import: Can you save your progress? If you play on multiple devices, a tracker that syncs or allows manual save files is better.
A good tracker will also note whether an item is missable. For instance, the Fae Royal Armor set can only be obtained if you choose a specific dialogue option during the questline in Losomn. If you miss it, you have to reroll the world and play through again. A tracker that flags such items is worth its weight in scrap.
Common Problems and Misconceptions
One common misconception is that an item tracker can tell you exactly where to find every item in your current world. It cannot, because the world is randomly generated. The tracker only tells you the possible sources, not the guaranteed location. For example, the Pulse Rifle is always in N’Erud, but the specific dungeon it appears in changes each time you roll that world. You still have to explore.
Another issue is that some trackers are outdated. After the game’s DLC, like The Awakened King, new items were added, and some older trackers did not update. Always check the last update date. A tracker from the base game will not include the Ritualist class or the new rings from the DLC.
Also, be aware that some items are tied to difficulty. The Apocalypse difficulty exclusive rewards, like the Sporebloom long gun, only drop on that difficulty. A tracker should note that, or you might waste hours farming on lower difficulties.
Comparison: Spreadsheet vs. Website Tracker
You have two main options: a downloadable spreadsheet (like Excel or Google Sheets) or a dedicated website. Spreadsheets are flexible and work offline, but they require manual setup and you have to trust the source. Websites are easier to use and often have search and filter functions, but they might not be mobile-friendly or could go offline.
Here is a quick comparison:
- Spreadsheet: Full control, no ads, works offline, but you must update it yourself and it can be cluttered.
- Website: Instant search, automatic percentage, often includes images, but you need internet and some have ads.
If you are a completionist who plays on PC, a website tracker with a second monitor is ideal. If you play on console and don’t have a laptop nearby, a printed checklist or a spreadsheet on your phone might be better.
Costs and Safety
Most item trackers are free. Some websites might have ads, but they are generally safe. However, be cautious about downloading any tracker file from an unknown source. A spreadsheet with macros could contain malware. Stick to well-known community resources like the official Remnant 2 Wiki or trackers linked from the game’s subreddit.
If a tracker asks for your Steam login or any personal information, that is a red flag. A legitimate tracker only needs you to check boxes; it does not need to access your game files. The game itself does not have an official API for tracking items, so any tracker that claims to sync with your account is either fake or uses a manual import of a save file, which carries risk.
Alternatives to a Dedicated Tracker
If you do not want to use a separate tracker, the game has some built-in features that help. The Inventory screen shows all your items, and you can sort by type. The Codex tracks lore and some collectibles, but it does not show acquisition methods. You can also use the in-game World Map to see which areas you have fully explored, though it does not list items.
Another alternative is to use a notebook and pen. Write down the items you want and cross them off as you find them. This is low-tech but works. Some players use screenshot folders to track what they have, but that becomes unwieldy after a few hours.
For a more social approach, you can join a community like the Remnant 2 subreddit or Discord server. Players often share their progress and help each other find specific items. You can ask for advice on where to look, but you still need to track your own collection.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there an official Remnant 2 item tracker?
No, the developers have not released an official tracker. All trackers are community-made. The game’s official wiki is a good starting point, but it is not interactive.
Can I use an item tracker on console?
Yes, you can use a tracker on your phone or tablet while playing on console. Many trackers are mobile-friendly, and you can manually check off items as you go.
Do item trackers work with DLC content?
Only if the tracker has been updated to include DLC items. Check the tracker’s update history or look for a filter that says “DLC” or “Awakened King.” If it doesn’t have that, it’s outdated.
Can I import my save file to a tracker?
Some trackers allow you to upload your save file, but this is risky because it might corrupt your save or expose your data. Most trackers are manual, which is safer.
How long does it take to get 100% completion?
It depends on your luck and playstyle. Some players report 100% in about 100 hours, but because of random generation, it can take longer. A tracker helps you see what’s missing, but it doesn’t speed up the farming.
What is the rarest item in Remnant 2?
There is no official rarity stat, but players often consider the Apocalypse difficulty rewards and some world drops like the Ring of the Damned to be rare because they are random and have low drop rates.
