How to unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2
To unlock the Engineer in Remnant 2 you will need to visit the second overworld on N’erud and find the Alien Device within the fog surrounding the area. Taking the device back to Wallace will allow you to equip the Dryzy Caliper and use the Engineer class.
This was first found by ‘Legacy Gaming’ on YouTube and as they mention, using the Explorer’s Treasure Hunter skill once it is level 10. This allows you to see the corpse and the alien device beneath it in the fog.
