Remnant 2 is a souls-like shooter that takes place in an alien world. This sequel to the excellent Remnant: From the Ashes is pushing the franchise in a brave new direction. The difficulty curve, the punishing gameplay, and the in-depth mechanics are just some of the standouts of this franchise that make it comparable to the Dark Souls series. Like most souls-like games, Remnant 2 has multiple classes of characters. The game allows you to choose a class, or an archetype, as they are known in-game when you start out. Each Archetype has special skills and buffs that make them better at a certain task. The game has been designed in such a way that you can easily switch or change your character’s archetype. However, getting the archetype of your choice is the tricky part. In this guide, we will go over how to unlock the Explorer Archetype in Remnant 2.
Remnant 2 Explorer Class: How to get & unlock?
The Explorer class is considered to be one of the hardest to get in the game. At various points in the game story, you will need to either complete missions or craft materials to get various archetypes of your choice. Some of these can be run as secondary classes for your main character as you progress through the game as well. Additionally, there are multiple buffs and benefits you can take advantage of. The Explorer class, however, is not some class you can buy or unlock mid-game.
The reason the Explorer class is so hard to unlock is that it is locked behind a boss encounter. You will have to beat this boss to get the item needed to unlock this class. Unfortunately, this boss is the final boss of the game. which means you have to be prepared. Once you beat Annihilation, the campaign’s final boss, you will get the Broken Compass. You need the Broken Compass to unlock the Explorer class in Remnant 2.
Once you have beaten the final campaign boss and have gotten the Broken Compass, it is easy to unlock this class. All you need to do is go visit Wallace at Ward 13 with the Compass. He will take it from you and craft the Golden Compass, considering you have provided him with x1000 scraps and x10 Lumenite Crystals. The Golden Compass engram lets you unlock the Explorer class. You can choose it as a starting class in your second playthrough.
What does this class do?
The explorer class has a few benefits to help you find rarer items in the game. It comes with a default movement speed buff in addition to increased treasure sense and the ability to get random buffs by digging the ground. Together, these buffs make this class excellent for exploring and discovering the game world. A must-have if you are an explorer who loves to look in the nooks and crannies of games.
