Players that want to obtain the Pulse Rifle inRemnant 2(without starting their character as an Engineer) will need to obtain two Quest Items. Those items are the Decorum Cipher and the Memory Core II, and they can be found within two dungeons on N’Erud. This guide contains full details on locating those items, and it will help players get their hands onRemnant 2’s Pulse Rifle.
Remnant 2: How to Get Pulse Rifle
Confirm Pulse Rifle is Available
Before players attempt to obtain the Pulse Rifle, they should confirm that is available in their current roll of N’Erud. To do this, fans should make their way to the planet’sfirst open map(eitherAbyssal RiftorPhantom Wasteland) and locate theCustodian. For the uninitiated, this NPC is within a structure next to theAscension Spire Checkpoint, and the images that are above should helpRemnant 2playersfind him.

Upon reaching the Custodian, players should turn their attention to theseatedstatuesthat are just inside the entrance to the spire. There is ahole in the groundbehind the statues on the left, andSoulslikefans should fall through it and use theelevatorthat they encounter to descend. At the bottom of elevator, fans will find acircular metal device, and it is the key to confirming that the Pulse Rifle is available.
More specifically, if fans caninteract with two pointson the device, thenit is possiblefor them to obtain the Pulse Rifle in their current roll of N’Erud. And if players can only interact withone pointon the device, or there areno interactable points, thenit is not possibleto obtain the weapon. In that situation, fans will need to re-roll N’Erud (either throughRemnant 2’s campaignor Adventure Mode) and repeat the process that has just been outlined.
One interactable point on the device means that either the Decorum Cipherorthe Memory Core II is available in the current N’Erud roll. In that scenario, players can insert the lone Quest Item into the device to gain access to theCore Boosteramulet, though they can also claim that item while collecting the Pulse Rifle in a suitable world.
Get Decorum Cipher & Memory Core II
Once a player has confirmed that the Pulse Rifle is indeed available in their roll ofN’Erud, they must work to obtain the two requisite Quest Items. Here are details on how those items are obtained, and players should return to the circular device at Ascension Spire when they have both of them in hand:
This Quest Item is found in theTerminus Stationdungeon, which can appear on any of N’Erud’s open maps (Abyssal Rift, Eon Vault, Phantom Wasteland, and Timeless Horizon). More specifically, players should make their way to theCheckpoint after the train eventat the end of thisRemnant 2dungeonandcrouchunder thecables to the right.This action will put fans on a path to a ladder and walkway, which will allow them to enter the train’s engine room (through a hatch in its roof) and claim the Decorum Cipher.
For thisRemnant 2Quest Item, players must turn their attention to theDormant N’Erudian Facilitydungeon, which can also appear on any of N’Erud’s open maps. Here, fans will encounter alocked red doorthat can only be opened after obtaining theBiome-Control Glyph, and the Memory Core II is beyond it.
To obtain the requisite Glyph, players should search the dungeon for a corridor withlarge tanksthat appear to be filled withpurple smoke. A section of therailingin this area will bemissing, and fans should pass through that opening to fall onto thepipesbelow. Players should then follow the path ahead, riding anelevatorwhen they encounter it, to reach a room where the Biome-Control Glyph is sitting on ametal container.
Insert Decorum Cipher & Memory Core II
Players can now insert the two Quest Items into thecircular device beneath Ascension Spireto deactivate the nearby barriers. Fans can then proceed into the area that was blocked by those barriers to findRemnant 2’s Core Booster amulet(increases weakspot damage by 50% for 10s after killing an enemy) and thePulse Rifle.
Remnant 2is available for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
