How to Unlock Engineer Archetype in Remnant 2

The Remnant 2 Engineer Archetype has skills and perks that make it a viable choice for solo and cooperative gameplay.

Remnant 2 fans have been pleasantly surprised by the discovery of a secret Engineer Archetype within the game. In this guide, we will get into the process of unlocking this unique class and explore the reasons why you should consider acquiring it for your adventures in Remnant 2.

The revelation of the Remnant 2 Engineer Archetype caught the community off-guard, as they were already anticipating new Archetypes. However, the hidden nature of this class adds an exciting twist to the gameplay. Let’s now solve the steps to obtain it.

How to unlock Remnant 2 Engineer Archetype

To unlock the Remnant 2 Engineer Archetype, players must first locate a valuable item known as the Alien Device. This device can be found on the second N’Erud map. The challenge lies in its concealed within the treacherous fog that engulfs the N’Erud region. The device can appear anywhere on the outskirts of this foggy expanse.

Venturing into the fog will subject your character to a puke animation, making it crucial to move swiftly. Once you spot a gap in the fog, you must jump across it to reach the Engineer’s location. You’ll find a deceased Engineer there, and obtaining his Technician armor set is the key to unlocking the Remnant 2 Engineer Archetype.

The Alien Device Location

After securing the armor, drop down from the ledge and seize the Alien Device located below. The entrance to this concealed area in the fog features a smooth, short cliff on the left and spikey rocks on the right. Keep an eye out for a walkable path amidst the fog.

Using the Treasure Hunter Explorer skill proves highly effective for those seeking a more straightforward approach to finding the Engineer. This skill highlights nearby items, including the deceased Engineer in the fog. Given the vastness of the second N’Erud map, using this skill can save you considerable time and effort.

Engineer Class Skills and Perks

• Class-specific Trait: Fortify: Increases armor effectiveness, providing enhanced protection in battle.
• Prime Perk: High Tech: Holding the Skill button will Overclock a carried or deployed Heavy Weapon, granting infinite ammo, increased fire rate, and a 25% damage boost for 15 seconds.
• Heavy Weapon: Vulcan: Deploys a Vulcan Cannon Turret, which remains active until its ammo is exhausted. Turrets can prioritize targets based on the player’s aim. Holding the skill button deploys the Heavy Carry Mode. If Engineer Prime is available, it will Overclock the weapon if already in hand or on the battlefield. Double press the button to reclaim the weapon, recovering 75% of its remaining ammo.
• Heavy Weapon: Flamethrower: Similar to the Vulcan, but this time unleashing a devastating Flamethrower.
• Heavy Weapon: Impact Cannon: Again, akin to the Vulcan and Flamethrower, but this time featuring an Impact Cannon.
• Perk 1: Metalworker: Increases skill damage by 5% and provides 5% ammo capacity and 2.5% Max Health for Heavy Weapons.
• Perk 2: Magnetic Field: Heavy Weapons offer a 15% damage reduction to all allies within 2.5 meters, bolstering team survivability.
• Perk 3: Heavy Mobility: Enhances movement speed while carrying a heavy weapon, allowing for greater maneuverability on the battlefield.
• Perk 4: Surplus: Your Relic will replenish 15% of your Heavy Weapon ammo, a quantity that doubles when the weapon is stowed.

Unlocking the Explorer Skill

Unlocking the Explorer skill demands some patience. Finishing the game and defeating the final boss will reward you with the Broken Compass. Deliver this item to Wallace at Ward 13, and he will grant you access to the Explorer Archetype. Alternatively, you can seek assistance from someone who already possesses the Explorer skill and is willing to aid you in your search.

Once you possess the Alien Device, visit Wallace at Ward 13, where he can combine the Alien Device with 10 Lumenite Crystals and 1000 Scrap to craft the Drzyr Caliper. This extraordinary “otherworldly measuring device” serves as your class engram, effectively unlocking the Engineer Archetype for you. The class offers a variety of powerful abilities that cater to different playstyles.
