Remnant 2 Engrams

Engrams in Remnant 2 are a special type of Items. Engrams have their own unique slot in the player's inventory. Once equipped, they grant players the Skills, Perks, and Traits of the related Archetype, which are the Classes in Remnant 2. Players can only have one equipped Engram at a time, until later on the game in which a second Engram can be equipped, thus granting the ability to have Dual Archetypes.

What do Engrams do in Remnant 2?

Engrams are the ones that level up, actually, and not the player. Once equipped, they level up as the player progresses through the game by killing Enemies and Bosses. Note that having an Engram in the inventory, but not equipped, will not grant it Experience. Players NEED to have the Engram equipped in order to start gaining experience as they level up.

Unlocking and Swapping to new Archetypes

Players can choose from a wider variety of archetypes in Remnant 2. You are not limited to your starting Archetype, as more can be unlocked and switched to as you progress through the game. There is no cost to switching to a new Archetype, but you'll still have to level it up from scratch. However, your progress on your previous Archetype won't be reset

To change your Archetype, you need to have the corresponding Engram associated to the archetype and equip it, replacing your previous one. This does not destroy the previous item in the process, only swaps it with the one in the inventory.
