Hidden throughout each of the worlds of Remnant 2 are several secret weapons that provide immense power, but are equally as challenging to get. Some of these weapons are only available on rare generations on certain worlds, meaning uninformed Travelers may miss them completely.
The Pulse Rifle is a Long Gun found on N'Erud that fires a powerful burst of three rounds that can quickly deal with enemies from afar, and is one of these secret weapons. Below, we'll take a look at the steps you need to take to get this weapon, as well as how to get the two items you need for it.
Check The Ascension Spire
The Pulse Rifle is found beneath the Custodian's tower in N'Erud. As you approach the Ascension Spire where the Custodian is found, look at the first statue on the left. There is a hole behind the statue that you can drop down into.
The Ascension Spire can be found in the Abyssal Rift and Phantom Wasteland locations of N'Erud. Look for the giant statue holding a glowing white orb.
In this hole in the Ascensio Spire, you can find the Dryzr Replicator merchant, where you can buy a number of useful Rings. Look to the right of the merchant for an elevator, then take this elevator down into the area below.
In this area, approach the purple console. To get the Pulse Rifle, you will need to unlock the door behind this console using two items, the Decorum Cipher and the Memory Core II. This means that there will need to be two open slots on the console to put in these items. If there are zero or one open slots, you'll have to reroll your world and try again.
Quest items don't carry over when you reroll your campaign, so if you only have one slot available, there is no point in continuing if you want the Pulse Rifle.
Reroll your world campaign until the console has two open slots. This may take a few attempts to get, but once you have two open slots, you will be in a world that has access to the Pulse Rifle. Now, you'll need to gather the two items mentioned before.
How To Get The Decorum Cipher
The Decorum Cipher can be found in the Terminus Station dungeon. This dungeon can be found in any of the four open world N'Erud maps: Abyssal Rift, The Eon Vault, Phantom Wasteland, and Timeless Horizon. Remember, if your console has two open slots, the Terminus Station will appear in your world, so just keep searching until you find it.
At the Terminus Station, you'll need to complete the train event. To complete this event, you have seven minutes to kill every enemy in each train compartment as you move further down the train. Robot Grunts are the main enemy that appear during this event, in both normal and shield-wielding variations.
Once you make it to the end and complete the train event, you'll arrive in a room with a checkpoint. At the checkpoint, crouch under the cables to the right where there is a chest. Continue under some more cables to a ladder, then climb up into another room.
In this area, there is an opening to the train below. Drop down here and into the hatch into the train, where you can get the Atom Smasher melee weapon and the Decorum Cipher.
How To Get The Memory Core II
The Memory Core II is found in the Dormant N'Erudian Facility dungeon. This dungeon is also found in any of the open world N'Erud maps, listed above.
To complete this dungeon, you'll have six minutes to kill every enemy in the area. This mainly consists of Parasite enemies, including the variation that shoots poison globs at you. Additionally, you'll have to fight three Elite enemies throughout the time limit, which is most often the larger Parasite enemy that uses sweeping claw attacks.
Fight your way through the facility until the quarantine is lifted, then go to the curved bridge area of the map. There will be a part of the railing that is broken, allowing you to drop down to the ledge below. Follow this path to an elevator, then ride up to a small room. Continue forward until you reach a console with the Biome Control Glyph on it.
Grab this item then head back to the checkpoint at the start of the dungeon. Near the checkpoint, interact with the locked door and use the Biome Control Glyph to open it. Inside, you'll find the Toxic Release Valve Amulet and the Memory Core II.
How To Get The Pulse Rifle
Now that you have the Decorum Cipher and the Memory Core II, return to the Ascension Spire and once again drop into the hole behind the statue. Take the elevator back down, and insert both items into the console. You can put the keys in the console in any order.
With the door unlocked, head further into the chamber to obtain the Core Booster Amulet and the Pulse Rifle.
