There are over 60 unique weapons secretly hidden in Remnant 2. These weapons are equipped with powerful mods compared to regular guns and have awesome perks. Finding the weapons is tricky and requires special work, but their power makes the time and effort worthwhile.
We have compiled the best secret weapons you can find in Remnant 2, along with the unique powers they hold.to turn your character into an upgraded power station. So, without any further delay, let’s break into the topic!
8. Meridian
Meridian is a grenade launcher that performs as expected, with a few nuances to consider. The projectile will explode on impact if it comes into contact with an enemy, making it a mid-to-far-range weapon. If it doesn’t hit an enemy directly, it’ll bounce and roll, delaying the blast for a second or two. This weapon also comes with a pre-baked mod power called Screamers, which converts Meridian into a temporary rocket launcher with projectiles that shoot out in a straight line, dealing high damage in a relatively small AOE.
To unlock Meridian, you must travel to Low Sum and re-roll in Adventure mode to start the Nightweaver world boss questline. Your goal is to reach one of three sewer tiles worldwide: Harvester’s Reach, the Great Sewer, or Tiller’s Rest. Once inside, clear out the enemies and watch for a handcrafted structure with a puzzle or combat element. Move through the platforms, enter the pipe, and jump down to the platforms below. Clear out the enemies, and you’ll notice a blob obstructing a pipe. Take a few well-placed shots to burst the blob, and water will begin to flow. Wait 90 minutes, and the water will rise, revealing a pathway to Meridian.
7. Nightfall
Nightfall has a 15-stagger modifier, allowing for excellent utility during combat. The ability to temporarily halt an enemy’s movement can’t be understated. The weapon also comes with a baked-in mod power called Dreadwalker, which makes Nightfall an automatic weapon with infinite ammo, increased life steal, and increased damage output for 10 seconds.
To unlock Nightfall, you must defeat the Nightweaver world boss the standard way. Be careful not to accidentally trigger her alternate kill, which rewards you with the Cursed Dream Silks crafting material. With the material, you can craft Nightfall at max level plus 10, dealing serious damage per shot. However, you’ll be limited by a small magazine unless you increase its capacity with other items.
6. Pulse Rifle
The Pulse Rifle is similar to Nightfall but with a few key differences. You must ensure your world rolls the right way on Narud to unlock it. You’ll need to find the Decorum Cipher and the Memory Core 2, then use them to unlock the Pulse Rifle.
The weapon is very easy to control due to its low recoil and has a higher crit chance than Nightfall but lacks stagger.
5. Aphelion
Aphelion is a unique long gun that fires wide, arcing energy blasts with full penetration. You’ll need to defeat Shahala, the Narud world boss, using an alternate method to obtain it. This requires finding the Override Pin, which can be found in an abandoned Tower on Narud.
Aphelion’s Supernova mod deals with high AOE fire damage, burning all targets within a few meters. The weapon has a surprising range but falls short regarding staggering enemies. You’ll need to worry about your waves hitting allies, which is easy to do, given the projectile size and penetration.
4. Plasma Cutter
The Plasma Cutter is another of the long gun secret weapons that deals continuous energy damage in Remnant 2. To unlock it, you’ll need to locate the Navigator’s Helm on Narud, find a crashed Convoy (a rare spawn), and equip the Helm to access a hidden room.
The weapon has the ability to overheat, and the Heatsink mod in Plasma Cutter reduces heat generation by 50% and increases the weapon’s ramping damage cap by 3x damage. Without the mod, the weapon deals with 75% weak spot damage but suffers from poor stagger.
3. Enigma
The Enigma is a powerful handgun that fires an electrical stream, connecting to additional targets within 7.5 meters. It deals reduced damage per jump but applies for the Overload status. The modification, Chaos Driver, allows you to shoot electrified rods into targets, tethering them to other rods within 10 meters and dealing shock damage per second.
To get the Enigma, head to the Labyrinth world and fast-travel to the closest Stone to the main portal. From there, go through the door on the left and follow the path until you reach the shifting portal. Time your jump to land on the invisible platform, then run forward and defeat the enemies to unlock the material needed to purchase the Enigma Cider at Ward 13.
2. Labyrinth Staff
The Labyrinth Staff is one of the melee secret weapons that generates 10 additional mod powers with its basic attacks in Remnant 2. Its charged attacks perform an AOE, striking all enemies within 2 meters and dealing damage, generating 50 additional mod power. This staff is perfect for builds that heavily rely on using mod powers.
To obtain the Labyrinth Staff, head to the same shifting portal as for the Enigma Cider, but this time go to the left of the portal and continue forward. You’ll reach a section of the map that requires a leap of faith jump, where the stones will shift into a bridge. Follow the newly formed pathway up, and you’ll see a gap you can’t jump over. Wait for the shifting portal to appear, then quickly cross the gap before it disappears. On the other side, you’ll have a boss fight, and after defeating it or running past it, you can claim the Labyrinth Staff.
1. Chicago Typewriter
The Chicago Typewriter is a classic Tommy Gun-style weapon with a massive ammo capacity of 80 shots per magazine. It has poor initial accuracy, which improves while holding down the trigger. You can slot in your mod for this weapon and upgrade it to make it an absolute beast. Additionally, you’ll find the Leto Mark II in the crate next to the gun, which is a very tanky armor set but also very heavy.
To get the Chicago Typewriter, you must play through the main campaign until you get to The Labyrinth and confront the Keeper, which will get you the Biome Key at the Fractured Ingress Checkpoint. Use the key to open the Biome Portal, which will take you to the interior of the Cargo Ship near Ward 13, where you will find both Chicago Typewriter and Leto Mark II Armor Set.
