How do you unlock the Remnant 2 Explorer class? Remnant 2 is an unthinkably huge game thanks to its random mechanics, and there are a bunch of hidden archetypes, or classes, snuck inside the campaign and its various worlds. One of those is the Explorer, which grants you the ability to sniff out the most valuable items.
The Explorer class is all about finding the most valuable items throughout all Remnant 2 classes for loot gathering, here's how to earn the Explorer class.
Be warned, there are spoilers ahead…
How to unlock the Explorer class in Remnant 2
To get the Remnant 2 Explorer archetype, obtain the Broken Com by defeating Annihilation, the campaign's final boss. Take the Broken Com to Wallace in Ward 13, who can craft it into the Golden Com engram.
Because you need to complete the game and defeat Annihilation to earn the Explorer engram, you can't play as an Explorer on your first playthrough. However, if you know you want to add the Explorer class to your character build as soon as possible, it might be best to power through the campaign as quickly as possible, heading back into your worlds, and those you have yet to discover, once you've achieved it.
Here are the Golden Com crafting materials:
- Broken Com
- 1,000 Scrap
- Ten Luminite Crystals
