- To get the second archetype, you must have 10 trait points, be beyond level 10, and acquire a special item for an engram.
- Special items are primarily found in Ward 13 of Remnant 2; you can purchase them from NPCs or vendors for 1500 scrap.

What Is Archetype In Remnant 2?
In Remnant 2, an archetype is a class that defines your character’s playstyle and build. Each archetype has unique skills and abilities, so you can choose the one that best suits your playstyle.
You can choose one archetype at the start of Remnant 2. Archetypes are a great way to customize your character and make them more powerful. By choosing the right archetype for your playstyle, you can create a fun and effective character in combat.
Remnant 2 How To Get Second Archetype?
You can get the second archetype in Remnant 2 after you have collected 10 trait points and you are beyond level 10 at least. Trait points are earned by:
- Defeating bosses
- Finding Tomes of Knowledge
- Completing side quests

How To Get An Engram?
An engram is an artifact that allows you to unlock the second archetype in Remnant 2. To get the Engram, you must buy a special item from NPCs or vendors for 1500 scrap. Each archetype demands different Engram, and each Engram demands a different special item.
You will find most of the vendors in the location of Ward 13. Some secret archetypes require some secret items that have yet to be discovered such as Gunslinger.
The special items are:
- Old Metal Tool: buy it from Reggie to get the Challenger archetype.
- Medic Pin: buy it from Doc Norah to get the Medic archetype.
- Old Whistle: buy it from Mudtooth to get the Handler archetype.
- War Medal: buy it from Brabus to get the Hunter archetype.


Additional Information
Now that you know how to get the second archetype in Remnant 2, you must know that the secondary archetype does not grant you access to the primary perk. Only your primary archetype has that. So, you must choose or select the perks that best suit your taste.
Another thing to remember is that if you want to change the primary archetype of your character, you will have to start the new archetype from the beginning. For instance, you are at level 12 of the Hunter archetype, and you change your archetype to Summoner. You will be at level 1 of Summoner, not 12!
You must have 10 trait points and be beyond level 10 in Remnant 2 to get the second archetype. You will need to buy a special item from vendors in Ward 13. Once you buy that, take it to Wallace in Ward 13 to turn that into an engram for you. You will also spend 1500 scrap and 10 Lumenite crystals.
