Rumors of a top-secret Archon archetype were rife since Remnant 2 launched the other week, however it took knowledgeable dataminers and a tip from a developer to unlock the game’s 11th class. As revealed by Residue 2’s principal designer, the archetype was created to be discovered by dataminers– since if you can’t stop people from doing it, why not leave a fun trick for them rather?
Remnant 2 has 11 classes in overall, with some readily available from the start of the game, and others locked behind in-game obstacles of varying problems. The Archon archetype was an outlier, as dataminers had actually found evidence it existed in the video game files, however could not find out all the actions to unlock it.
While numerous gamers thought that the Archon archetype was locked by the designers and would be released down the track, Gunfire Games designer Ben Cureton required to Twitter to motivate the fans examining the Archon’s secrets to keep going, stating: “To open the Archon in Remnant 2, one should penetrate the code itself.”
With that hint, it wasn’t long before players pieced together the last piece of the puzzle– a very specific loadout that needs to be equipped to unlock the corrupted aura, which enables players to enter a secret door concealed within the Labyrinth. As another little Easter egg, the necessary devices looks extremely comparable to the outfit worn by NPC Ford.
