Remnant 2 Dual Archetypes: How Multiclass Works

Remnant 2 allows you to go for a multiclass build by equipping dual archetypes where you only get the primary perk of the first class.

Archetypes in Remnant 2 give players different playstyles that can be altered. However, if you want to synergize the benefits of two classes, you can go for multiclass. However, note that Archetypes must be unlocked before they can be used.

This guide outlines all the details on changing classes and using dual archetypes in Remnant 2.

How to Change Archetypes in Remnant 2?

Remnant 2 Dual Archetypes

Dual archetypes mean players get to choose two classes and set them as primary and secondary archetypes. This benefits you from taking both classes. To do this, you need to get the relevant items and find Wallace to create the engram for the archetype.

Once the engram is crafted, open the inventory menu and change your archetype. Note that this change is simple and free of cost.

TIP

Equipping dual archetype will reset your progress to power level 1.

How to Unlock Dual Archetypes in Remnant 2?

You can unlock dual archetypes by collecting 10 Trait Points; this is done by defeating bosses and discovering tomes of knowledge. Once you unlock the archetypes, you can decide between primary and secondary classes. You will need the relevant engrams for the classes.

TIP

You will find items either from Ward 13 merchants or find them as monster drops or loot.

How to use Dual Archetypes in Remnant 2

Once a relevant engram is crafted, equip it as a secondary archetype. Note that each class’s experience points are split in half, and the Prime Perk depends on your chosen primary archetype. However, you can equip skills and perks from your secondary archetype.
