Remnant 2is Gunfire games take on the souls genre. Where once sword and magic dominated in a fantasy realm, Remnant 2’s version features guns, lasers, and Star Gate portal worlds. Fight through expansive, procedurally driven worlds in solo, and in coop. Remnant 2’s combat is as tough as some of its systems, which aren’t exactly forthcoming with some of the details. That’s what we’re here for, though.
Follow our guides on how best to tackle these dungeons, enemies, and various bosses. We’ll help you get the most out of your experience. It should be easy since we already went through all the pain and suffering for you.
In this guide, we’ll look at unlocking the engineer, who can drop sentry guns to help you manage Remnant 2’s bestial swarms.
Remnant 2: What is the engineer class?
TheEngineerclass is one of my favorites inRemnant 2. Giving solo players another great option to help take on the hordes of enemies and bosses alike while helping to defeat that feeling of playing alone. It’s much like playing Roland fromBorderlands; the archetype can deploy different types of sentry guns depending on the skill selected.
Remnant 2 Engineer: Perks
There are four perks to unlock for every archetype. Each will unlock at a certain level and their separate upgrades. Perks 1, 2, 3, and 4 unlock at those levels, while their upgrades unlock at levels 6, 7, 8, and 9, respectively.

How to unlock the Remnant 2 engineer
Unlocking theEngineerclass becomes far more manageable once theExplorerclass is obtained, but it’s possible without it. The corresponding guide was done using the Explorer class. However, players can instead find a similar rock formation at the edge of the map to obtain theEngineerarmor and class. If you want to use the Explorerclass, check outour guideon the very subject.
To obtain it, players must first reachN’Erud. In doing so, you’ll need to look for theTitan’sReachcheckpoint. In this world, there seem to be two “outside” areas that players can reach. In both playthroughs of N’Erud, I found this checkpoint in the second outside area. This can be either theTimeless HorizonorThe Eon Vaultarea.

Scanning the outskirts of the map using the Explorer class, you’ll eventually come across an outline of a dead alien in the fog. This fog will cause theCurseeffect on the player. When reaching a full stack, this instantly kills them. Before jumping in, you can use aPurified Salve, which not only curesCursebut gives the player resistance to the effect.
Grab the armor off of the corpse, then jump to the left side. Down a few meters, you’ll find theAlien Device. After grabbing it, don’t worry about making it back. You’ll most likely be dead within the next second or two anyways.
Turn in the Alien Device
Now head back to Ward 13 and find Wallace. Trade with him, and you’ll have the option to obtain theDrzyr Caliper. It’ll cost 1000 scrap, theAlien Device, and 10Lumenite Crystals. Check out ourscrap andLumeniteguideif you’re having trouble obtaining those.TheEngineerarchetype is now yours! Congratulations!
