Unlocking the Remnant 2 Engineer archetype
Unlocking the Remnant 2 Engineer class requires the Alien Device, which you will find in N’erud in one of these second overworld zones – Timeless Horizon or Eon Vault. This won’t change regardless of your main quest. Reach these areas and get a feel of the topography. Look out for enemies and the Death Blight as well.
Now search for a technician’s corpse along the edge of the map. Keep a sharp eye on the Death Blight meter. Once it’s full, there is no escape. We can’t tell you the exact location of this corpse as this varies from game to game.
This search can be made easier if you have access to the Explorer class, whose Fortune Hunter can tell you the location of any special item within a distance. However, this skill is unlocked at level 10. If you don’t have this access, maybe you could ask a player who does to find the corpse for you.
After you’ve found the technician’s corpse, obtain the Technician’s armor set and the Alien Device item in the region.

Starting loadout of the Engineer class
The Pulse Rifle is the Long Gun, the Rupture Cannon is the Handgun, and the Atom Smasher is the Melee weapon. The Engineer class is not a starter class but you can make it so if you create a new character. That’ll provide you with the weapons from the N’erud biome and the Technician armor set.

Remnant 2 Engineer Class Trait
Fortify: At level 10, the armor’s effectiveness is boosted by up to 50%. This leads to increased damage reduction.
Traits get more effective the higher the level is. At level 10, you can select this trait even while “unequipping” the class and choosing something else. If you do this, however, you will need to reassign trait points. Or if you need those particular effects again, you’ll need to re-equip the Engineer class.

Remnant 2 Engineer Skills
Press the skill button once to deploy a particular firearm. Hold the button to carry and overclock it. Double-tap the button to retrieve it. Retrieving a firearm returns 75% of the ammo.
Vulcan:
Unlocked by default.
A fast-firing cannon fires beams.
Flamethrower
Unlocked at level 5
A huge flamethrower turret sets opponents on fire.
Impact Cannon
Unlocked at level 10.
A projectile launcher fires high-speed projectiles. Using this as a current allows a close-range AoE shockwave to pulse.
All these Remnant 2 Engineer skills make one point obvious. The Engineer is here to bring the pain. These weapons have their own ammo (they don’t use the ammo of the Long Gun or the Handgun), so go all out and destroy your opponents.
