Remnant 2 allows players to shuffle between a long-range gun, a handgun, and a melee weapon. Moreover, players are allowed to carry multiple weapons at the same time. However, these weapons require scraps for upgrades and mods that can further buff up the weapon. Therefore, knowing which weapon is worth the resources before spending them is better.

There are various ways to acquire weapons in Remnant 2. As a result, some guns are found in chests, and some weapons are dropped after defeating a boss. However, you can acquire some great weapons early on with little effort. Moreover, it is essential to maintain the right balance between your currently equipped melee weapons and guns.

Moreover, the Enigma is capable of electrocuting multiple enemies at once. The stream of electricity will bounce off and attach to enemies nearby.

Moreover, acquiring this weapon is also reasonably straightforward. However, you must first reach the Labyrinth as part of your campaign. Once at the Labyrinth, explore the area nearby until you see a teleporter that changes location. Therefore, jump inside the teleporter once you see an empty sky and a ledge. 

If you are lucky, you will probably get here right when the bridge is forming. You may need to take care of a few enemies at first.

Ford’s room is next to the World Crystal and on top of the Weapon Upgrade shop.

However, once in Ford’s room, you will see a locked Red Chest in the corner. The Chest requires players to enter the combination 0415 to unlock the Chest finally.
