Remnant 2: How To Unlock The Engineer Archetype

Remnant 2 has many Archetypes for players to choose from. Archetypes give very different perks and bonuses that are most effective when matching your play style. While there are only a few Archetypes to choose from at the beginning of the game, players can unlock more.

After unlocking your second Archetype, players will also be able to have two Archetypes equipped at once, receiving the benefits and abilities of both. The Engineer is one of the more hidden Archetypes that is almost impossible to find unless you know where to look.

The Alien Device

First, travel to the second open region of N’Erud. This area is a wide-open desert surrounded by gas that will give you the curse effect should you stand in it for too long. While this gas can quickly kill you, it gives you enough time to run a few feet in first. To get the item needed for the Engineer Archetype, you’ll need to find a dead body in the border’s gas somewhere in this area.

This can be a long and tedious process, as you’ll need to run the perimeter or the entire desert, looking for a specific rock structure, as this seems to be the same across all worlds. The platformed rock will be to the left, with spiky rocks on the right, with a small gap in the middle. Run through the gap and jump down off the ledge and continue to move forward. The dead body with the Alien Device will be directly ahead. For those who have unlocked the Explorer Archetype, the Fortune Hunter ability will greatly help in locating the Alien Device within the gas.

Unlocking The Engineer Archetype

After obtaining The Alien Device, take it back to Wallace in Ward 13. The Drzyr Caliper will cost 10 Lumenite Crystals and 1,000 Scrap, and purchasing it will unlock the Engineer Archetype. After this Archetype has been unlocked, you can equip it on your current character or pick it as the starting Archetype for future characters.
