The Warden Archetype in Remnant 2 is all about Drones and Shields

The latest Archetype in Remnant 2 — The Warden — is dropping when the game's final DLC Dark Horizon hits virtual shelves on September 24. Wondering how it plays? We've got all the details for you.

The Warden takes the term 'flat top' to a new level and is big on both Shields and Drones. Both themes allow him to be both offensive and supportive at a whim, so if that's your style, this guy will be right up your alley.

Engineer is the natural pairing for Warden, as thanks to the Prime Perk Dynamic, you'll automatically regenerate Shield while increasing the N'Erudian Energy Reserve for both your Drone and the Engineer's Turret. For those who like tanky builds, there's also the Barrier Archetype Trait which means both yourself and allies will receive protection from Shields.

As for Drones, you get the option to swap between Shield, Heal, and Combat versions. Here's the breakdown:

  • Shield Drone: When energized, your Drone will constantly be providing Shield to your chosen Ally until they're maxed out, while also lightly reducing all incoming damage (it's not clear whether this applies to both yourself and the ally, so we've asked and will update if we hear back). In other words, your buddy ain't dyin'.
  • Heal Drone: Similar to the Shield Drone, it will heal an ally until they're maxed out, while also passively providing a Relic Use Speed buff. If you dig Relics, this is the ticket.
  • Combat Drone: As you'd expect, this little guy will be a regular threat to enemies as it will attack anything posing a problem near your chosen ally.

Remnant 2: The Dark Horizon will be available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC for the price of $9.99. Or if you bought or are buying the Ultimate Edition, you're already covered.
