Remnant 2 Warden Archetype Perks

As you may already know, there are five different types of Perks that each Archetype in Remnant 2 comes with. These are:

1. Prime Perk
2. Damage Perk
3. Utility Perk
4. Team Perk
5. Relic Perk

While the Prime Perk is available from the get-go, players must level up the Archetype to get access to the remaining Perks.

That being said, the Warden’s Prime Perk is called Dynamic, and what it does is that it allows you to automatically regenerate SHIELD and greatly increase the base N’Erudian Energy Reserve for the Drone and Turret (Engineer Archetype).

How to unlock the Warden Archetype in Remnant 2

In Remnant 2, you can unlock the Warden by obtaining its Engram called Command Module, which you can get from Wallace in exchange for Withered Mechanism and five Lumenite Crystals.

To get the Withered Mechanism, you must access The Dark Horizon DLC and progress until you reach the Withered Necropolis fast travel point.

Once you are there, make your way to the northwest edge of the cliff and keep progressing. You will eventually reach the Withered Mechanism’s location.
