Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon Reveals The Warden Archetype

Gunfire Games formerly revealed The Warden archetype, which is included with Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon expansion.

Based off the abilities, found below, The Warden archetype is perfect for those looking to be a one person army. The drone partner is able to give a shield, heal, or attack hostile forces. Gunfire Games notes the perfect partner is Engineer to ensure something always has you covered.

Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon Warden Class Abilities

Prime Perk: Dynamic – The Prime Perk, Dynamic, allows you to automatically regenerate Shield and greatly increase the base N’Erudian Energy Reserve for the Drone and Turret. For those looking to use Dual Archetypes with the Warden, the Engineer is a perfect Archetype to pair it up with, as the Turret will get a nice energy boost from this Prime Perk.

Skill: Shield Drone – The Warden truly shines through the use of their secret weapon – the Drone. You can choose from three variants for it: Shield, Heal, and Combat. For the Shield Drone, while energized, the Drone will constantly grant Shield to the selected ally until they are at 100 percent and will reduce all incoming damage by a small amount.

Skill: Heal Drone – The Warden can deploy a Heal Drone that constantly heals an ally until their health is fully restored, and passively, it grants a Relic Use Speed buff. If the goal is to keep yourself or an ally alive while boosting Relic functionality, then the Healing Drone is perfect.

Skill: Combat Drone – Last but not least, when it’s time to go all out and guns blazing, there’s the Combat Drone. Designed to be a constant offensive presence, an energized Combat Drone attacks any threat near the selected ally. 

Archetype Trait: Barrier – To round out the Warden’s kit, there’s the Archetype Trait: Barrier. This unique trait increases the effectiveness of Shields the Warden applies, which means that even when providing protection to an ally, you will also receive the benefit. When making a Shield build, Barrier is a must.

Finally, various quality of life improvements, a new system, and prisms will also be introduced as part of the free content update. Prisms are described as a new feature to the rebalanced fragment system, which allows players to level gear for additional stat bonuses.
