We’ve got all the details on how to unlock the Gunslinger Archetype, as well as the perks and skills you will benefit from.
How to unlock the Gunslinger Archetype in Remnant 2
If you pre-ordered Remnant 2, the Gunslinger Archetype is available as a starting Archetype, but can still be unlocked at a later time if you did not pre-order.
To unlock the Gunslinger Archetype, you will need to finish the first world in the campaign to be transported to Labyrinth. Once you have done so, clear any other map, craft the world boss items you can at Ward 13 and exhaust dialogue with Mudtooth there.
Mudtooth can be found playing chess with Reggie and you will need to speak to him to hear his stories which, although can be skipped through, still take time to cycle through. If he runs out of stories, advance your campaign further and revisit him.
After all his tales have been told, he will give you the Rusty Cylinder. Take this to Wallace to receive the Iron Cylinder for 1,500 scrap and 10 Lumenite Crystals, which can then be equipped to unlock the Gunslinger Archetype.
