Besides the four initial Archetypes, you can unlock more hidden classes as you collect special materials in Remnant 2. Among them is the Gunslinger Archetype, which lets you play as a mid-range DPS while still conserving ammo.
Unlocking Gunslinger Archetype in Remnant 2
The Gunslinger Archetype can be unlocked by obtaining the Iron Cylinder Engram. First, you must acquire the Worn Cylinder from Mudtooth, who is sitting beside Reggie near the chess table.
You have to listen to the old man’s numerous stories until he runs out of dialogue. If you don’t want to spend half an hour hearing him rambling, you can skip the dialogues by pressing the Y or Triangle button.
Besides the Worn Cylinder, Mudtooth will also give you the Gunslinger’s Charm and Ring. I received the ring first before finally getting the charm alongside the Worn Cylinder while hearing the last tale.
Once you have the new material, you can visit Wallace on the dock to craft the Iron Cylinder Engram. You must also provide 10 Lumenite Crystals and 1,000 Scraps to make the object.
To activate the class, you need to open the Archetype page in the menu screen and equip the Engram on the Prime or the Secondary slot. If you use the Gunslinger Archetype as your primary class, you can gain access to its Prime Perk. However, keep in mind that the Archetype will start at level one since each class’ progression is separate.
