In Remnant 2, you can equip two types of weapons; a Long Gun (primary) and a Hand Gun (secondary). Having a powerful secondary Handgun weapon like the Rune Pistol can help you progress through the ruthless realms of Remnant much easier. But since it’s a secret weapon, getting hands on it is not that easy.
Let’s take a look at what the secret Rune Pistol is capable of, why it is so good, and where exactly can you find it in Remnant 2.
How to Craft Rune Pistol in Remnant 2
To craft and get the secret Rune Pistol, obtain the Ravenous Medallion from The Great Hall in the Losomn realm and offer it to the strange blue webs in The Tormanted Asylum prison cell. This will give you a Decrepit Rune in return which can be used to craft the Rune Pistol.
Keep in mind that due to the procedurally generative nature of Remnant 2, you might not get these locations in your playthrough of the Losomn realm. If that is the case, complete the whole realm at least once, then re-roll the realm till you get Morrow Parish as your starting location, This means you got the Nightweaver storyline and you will get access to The Tormented Asylum.
The Rune pistol is a powerful Hand Gun that is most effective at medium to close range. It also has a unique weapon mod that comes pre-equipped and cannot be removed. This mod is called the Soul Brand, it can apply Soul Brand to all enemies within 25m of the player. Enemies that are inflicted with Soul Brand leave behind an Echo when they die, and you can collect these Echoes to get 20% of your max health back.
