Do you want to know how to unlock the Gunslinger in Remnant 2? This class is available as an early unlock or at a point in the core campaign, but is it worth grabbing the early Remnant 2 Gunslinger unlock by picking up the game now?
Many games offer pre-order bonuses like this and Remnant 2 is no different. As mentioned in our Remnant 2 review, if you really liked the first game and enjoy soulslike games or third-person co-op shooters, then Remnant 2 is worth picking up and the Gunslinger class will be the default choice for many people as it is a great all-around pick.
How to unlock the Gunslinger in Remnant 2
You can unlock the Gunslinger in Remnant 2 by pre-ordering the game ahead of its full release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, or PC. Alternatively, the Gunslinger will unlock upon completing most of the biomes and areas and speaking to Mudtooth in Ward 13, obtaining the Worn Cylinder.
Once you have obtained the Worn Cylinder after talking with Mudtooth, the concoctions vendor, you will eventually get to give this to Wallace to craft the Iron Cylinder and unlock the Gunslinger class. This is one of several class unlocks in the game out of the full list of eight Remnant 2 classes.
Should you buy the game early to unlock the Gunslinger?
Overall, Remnant 2 is a really good co-op game and undoubtedly one of the best PS5 co-op games and best Xbox co-op games. So, if you enjoyed the first game and enjoy a run-and-gun playstyle, focused on damage pre-ordering the game might be a good idea.
You can also start playing via Remnant 2 early access and jump into the Gunslinger four days ahead of the game’s full release if you purchase the Ultimate Edition.
