Remnant 2 offers a hidden gem for those who favor heavy firepower: the Engineer. This unique archetype specializes in unleashing devastation through deployable turrets and heavy weapons.
The Engineer is a secret class in Remnant 2 found on N’Erud, but it requires you to get a unique crafting material called the Alien Device to unlock the archetype.
You first need to get to the toxic gas at the edges of the N’Erud map; more specifically, you need to head to the second Overworld Zone, either through The Eon Vault or the Timeless Horizon.
This guide unlocks the secrets of acquiring the Engineer archetype. We’ll detail the steps you need to take to claim this hidden class, transforming you into a force to be reckoned with in the unforgiving world of Remnant 2.
Where to find Alien Device?
When you reach the end of N’Erud, look for a specific rock formation you need to jump onto. You will be looking for a big spire on the right, a ledge with spikes on the left, and an obvious gap between them.
Once you have found the above rock formation, run towards it, and your character will start to cough and recover after some time. This area is not visible on the minimap, so you should take your time exploring it.
Wait for your character to recover from the fog, then quickly jump onto the platform out of the map once you spot a ledge. You will find the entire Technician armor set there.
After grabbing, turn around and look down into the fog. You’ll see a gold item – jump down and retrieve the Alien Device. You need to turn in this item to unlock the Engineer archetype.
Tip To Easily Find The Alien Device
The dense fog makes finding the Alien Device difficult, so it would be easier to use the Explorer archetype and its Treasure Hunter skill to find the items. This class highlights the nearby items, making it easier to notice the armor set and Alien Devices from a distance.
Take The Alien Device To Wallace
When you have the Alien Device, head back to Wallace in Ward 13 and get the Drzyr Caliper Engram which costs the Alien Device, 10 Lumenite Crystals, and 1,000 Scrap. This item will unlock the Engineer class for you.
Alien Device bug – missing or not showing
While finding the Alien Device is hard, some players also encounter an in-game bug where the item is either missing or isn’t showing. If you dropped down to the lower ledge and did not find the item, you need to re-roll N’Erud for another chance to spawn the Alien Device.
Only the Engineer corpse with the Technical armor set is guaranteed to spawn. If the Alien Device did not spawn, finish N’Erud and then replay the world through the Adventure mode on easy difficulty.
Head back and follow through the same method to (hopefully) see the Alien Device.
