Remnant 2 Prisms guide: how the Dark Horizon prism system works, all 7 prisms, fusions, legendary bonuses, leveling farms, and modded prisms on PC.
Remnant 2 Prisms Guide — All 7 Prisms, Fusions, Legendary Bonuses, and Modding
Prisms are Remnant 2's endgame build system, added with The Dark Horizon update (September 24, 2024): an equippable item that replaces the old relic-fragment stacking with five upgrade slots, up to four fusions (nine stats in five slots), and a build-defining legendary bonus at level 51. There are seven prisms, each named after a deadly sin and obtained differently — including the famous Prism of Greed that Cass occasionally sells for 250,000 Scrap. This guide explains the whole system: how to get every prism, how feeding and fusions actually work, the best legendary bonuses, the fastest leveling farms, and the modded-prism scene on PC.

What Are Prisms?
Prisms are powerful stat containers that overhaul the Relic Fragment system. A prism has five enhancement slots, and as it levels up you fill them by choosing one of three random stat bonuses. The trick is Fusions: when two compatible stats both reach a high enough level, they merge into a single slot — so with the maximum four fusions, one prism holds nine stat bonuses in five slots, each equivalent to a Mythic relic fragment. At level 51 you also pick a Legendary Bonus, one of 40+ powerful effects that can define an entire build.
Key mechanics:
- You can only equip one prism at a time, but each of the seven acts as a separate loadout slot you can swap freely.
- Prisms gain XP from all gameplay while equipped.
- Feeding Mythic Relic Fragments into a blank prism early heavily biases which stat options appear on level-up — this is the core of "rolling" a good prism.
- Relic fragments have seven quality tiers (Cracked → Ordinary → Solid → Polished → Regal → Flawless → Mythic) with 31 levels total; only Mythic feeding gives real control.
Per the Remnant 2 Wiki — Prisms: "By creating Fusions, players can stack significantly more stats on a single item and unlock a strong Legendary Bonus at level 51."
How to Get All 7 Prisms
| Prism | How to obtain | Difficulty |
|---|---|---|
| Lethargy | Buy from Dwell in Ward 13 for 1,000 Relic Dust | Easy |
| Greed | Cass in Ward 13 occasionally sells it for 250,000 Scrap (5% stock chance) | Medium |
| Voracity | Defeat any World Boss (in Boss Rush: Alepsis-Taura or Lydusa) | Medium |
| Jealousy | Craft at Wallace: Yellow/Red/Blue Prismatic Stones + 1 Simulacrum | Medium-Hard |
| Hatred | Complete 50 Boss Rush runs | Hard |
| Passion | Complete 200 Boss Rush runs | Very hard |
| Pride | Complete 500 Boss Rush runs | Very hard |
The Prism of Greed is the one everyone asks about: it's a 250,000 Scrap purchase from Cass (the merchant in Ward 13), and it only appears in her stock with a small chance each restock — a mid-game money sink rather than a grind wall. Hatred/Passion/Pride are the long-haul trophies for dedicated Boss Rush players (500 runs of even the shortest mode is a serious commitment).
How Fusions Work
Fusions combine two specific compatible stats into one slot. The full list of 23 fusions:
Athletic (movement + evade speed) · Capacitor (charge time + heat generation) · Cleric (healing + use speed) · Flash (cast speed + use speed) · Grip (spread + swap speed) · Gunfighter (fire rate + reload) · Hulk (health + stamina) · Longevity (mod duration + skill duration) · Mage (mod damage + mod generation) · Meta (weakspot + crit damage) · Munitions (ranged crit chance + ammo) · Pirate (ranged + melee damage) · Protected (shield + armor) · Pugilist (melee speed + stamina) · Revitalize (health regen + skill cooldown) · Rogue (melee crit + evade speed) · Sapper (explosive damage + damage reduction) · Selfless (revive speed + healing) · Sniper (ranged damage + ideal range) · Tank (damage reduction + armor) · Threshold (health + grey health conversion) · Warrior (melee damage + melee speed) · Wizard (mod crit + skill crit)
The standard recipe: plan your four fusions → feed the matching Mythic fragments into a blank prism → level up choosing only the five target stats → pick the fusion options as they appear (both stats reset to +1 but the slot merges) → finish the fifth slot with one strong single stat → push to 51 for the legendary.
The Best Legendary Bonuses
At level 51 you choose from three random options, and you can reroll just the legendary (the prism drops back to level 50) after patches enabled partial resets. Standouts across the 40+ pool:
- Sharpshooter — +60% ranged damage (the pure-DPS pick)
- Full Hearted — +100% relic charges (double your healing economy)
- Master Killer — 1.35x weakspot damage
- Impervious — -30% all incoming damage (tank staple, pairs with Bulwark builds)
- Immovable — un-staggerable while Bulwark is active
- Jack of all Trades — +40% all damage
- Artful Dodger — every dodge triggers a perfect dodge (3s cooldown)
- Prime Time — your secondary archetype's prime perk activates too
- Power Trip — doubles mod charges (an Archon dream)
- Brutality — +100% damage dealt and received (glass cannon, don't say we didn't warn you)
Fast Leveling: Boss Rush and the Extraction Hub
Leveling a prism 1→51 is the endgame grind, and two routes dominate:
- Boss Rush is the intended farm — dense waves, guaranteed Aberrations, and massive XP. A full Gauntlet run (19 bosses) pays out around 420,000 XP (community-measured), and the mode also drops Scrap, Iron, Lumenite, Corrupted Lumenite, Relic Dust, boss weapons and Corrupted Shards for corrupted weapons — our world drops guide covers the full farming picture. All three modes (Triple Threat = 3 bosses, Trial by Fire = 7, The Gauntlet = 19) pay the same prism XP rate per enemy, so the shortest mode is the best XP-per-minute in most cases.
- The N'Erud Extraction Hub — a fast regular-world loop: spawn at the Extraction Hub world stone and nuke the pit below with a crowd-control setup (Ritualist's Miasma is the classic), stacking the Scholar trait (+15% XP), the Sagestone ring (+10% XP) and Mudtooth's Elixir.
Before any risky prism roll, start a Boss Rush run at a World Stone and immediately exit the menu. This forces a save checkpoint — if your level-up rolls are bad, close the game and reload to retry from before the roll. It's the standard community method for controlling RNG.
Modded Prisms on PC — How It Works and the Risks
"Modded prisms" means prisms whose stats, fusions or legendary bonuses were injected through edited save data rather than earned — and it's a real cottage industry around Remnant 2. On PC, players use save editors or Cheat Engine-style tools to write their desired prism directly into the save file (community tools like the Prism Lab builder let you plan the exact fusions/legendaries first). On console, third-party services typically join your lobby and apply the prism in-session.
The honest rundown:
- It works, and plenty of 2026 endgame players run modded prisms to skip the 100-hour grind.
- There's no official support. Gunfire Games has never shipped mod tools for prisms, and save editing isn't endorsed — expect no help if a modded save corrupts.
- Back up your save before touching it. Corrupting a 400-hour character over a prism is the classic horror story.
- In co-op, your prism is part of your character data; nothing stops other players seeing or matching it, but you can't share the edit.
If you just want the result without the risk, the grind itself is very beatable: plan four fusions, farm Boss Rush on the shortest mode, and use the checkpoint trick to control rolls. The system is generous once you know what you're doing.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are prisms in Remnant 2?
Endgame stat containers added with The Dark Horizon: five upgrade slots, up to four fusions (nine stats in five slots), and a legendary bonus at level 51. They replaced the old relic-fragment stacking as the top endgame progression system.
How do I get prisms in Remnant 2?
Seven prisms, each with its own unlock: Lethargy (1,000 Relic Dust from Dwell), Greed (250,000 Scrap from Cass), Voracity (defeat a World Boss), Jealousy (crafted from Prismatic Stones + Simulacrum), and Hatred/Passion/Pride (50/200/500 Boss Rush runs).
What is the Prism of Greed?
A prism sold by Cass in Ward 13 for 250,000 Scrap, with a small (~5%) chance to appear in her restock inventory. It functions like every other prism — the price is the only thing special about it.
How do prism fusions work?
When two compatible stats (e.g., fire rate + reload speed = Gunfighter) both reach a high level, a fusion option appears; picking it merges both into one slot. With four fusions you fit nine stats into the five slots.
Are modded prisms safe on PC?
They work but are unofficial. Modded prisms come from edited save files, so back up your saves first and accept corruption risk. Gunfire doesn't support save editing, and the official grind (Boss Rush + fragment feeding) is controllable enough that most players don't need it.
