The game is also filled with secrets, some of which are fairly challenging to uncover. This was most recently illustrated by Reddit user Deiser, who discovered a handgun in Losomn that’s hidden behind a time-gated platforming section. to obtain the weapon, called Meridian,Remnant 2players have to kill a slime clogging a pipe near the end of the sewers in Tiller’s Rest and then wait 90 minutes in real life for the water to rise. This will finally allow them to jump over a couple of wooden platforms to an alcove on the other side of the room where Meridian is located.
While some fans might be dissuaded from trying to obtain the Meridian due to these prerequisites, the 90-minute timer reportedly keeps running even after the player leaves the area. It also doesn’t reset upon death, so obtaining the Meridian can be as simple as cleaning the sewers in Tiller’s Rest, unclogging the pipe at the end of the area, and then moving on to other Losomn content before returning to pick up the handgun whenever that’s convenient.
The discovery of this unique item underlines Gunfire Games' recent claim that there is so much content inRemnant 2that even playing for 400 hours won’t uncover everything. As for the weapon itself, the Meridian is a handgun with a five-round magazine that specializes in area-of-effect damage, not least because it’s pre-equipped with the Screamer mod that fires devastating rockets. This makes it highly effective in close-quarters combat and thus a perfect complement to the Challenger class.
The game’s secret-filled nature and challenging combat have seemingly resonated well with many a player. The fact thatRemnant 2became a Steam bestseller ahead of launchalready hinted as much in late July.
Remnant 2is available now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
