History of Remnant

Overview

A Remnant is the small collectible left by final blows with Thorn’s Mark of the Devourer. Picking one up activates Soul Devourer, strengthening Thorn’s damage-over-time effect and partially refilling its magazine. With Thorn’s catalyst, picking up a Remnant also grants the catalyst’s temporary stat bonus.

Behavior

Light.gg’s weapon research says Remnants last 8 seconds before despawning and track toward the player within 15 meters. These timing and distance details come from community research and may change with updates.
