Whether you love it or hate it, Remnant 2‘s The Dark Horizon wraps up the game’s post-launch DLC saga in a recognizable, true-to-form manner. You get a new Adventure and oodles of content both hidden away and not, and the Warden archetype and their Nanoplated Armor are a key highlight.
The Nanoplated Armor Set is ostensibly the Warden subclass’s featured suit. It was prominently shown off on promotional media for The Dark Horizon so, naturally, you’re on the hunt for it. The funny bit is that I missed this armor entirely on my first go through the DLC, so I’m thrilled to help you not make the same mistake I did. Here’s how to find the Nanoplated Armor in Remnant 2.
Discovering the Nanoplated Armor
To begin your quest for the Nanoplated Armor, it should come without saying that you need to own the Dark Horizon DLC to access all the content we discuss here. Neither the Warden nor the Nanoplated Armor will be accessible if you don’t own the DLC. It is a good investment if you enjoy Remnant 2‘s core gameplay loop, so I do recommend it, especially if you enjoy the techno-horror vibes of N’Erud.
The easiest possible way to get the Nanoplated Armor is to have the Warden archetype unlocked from a prior playthrough. Then, you can begin a new run with a new Warden character. By doing this, you will start the game with the full set of Nanoplated Armor, so you don’t have to worry about grabbing it over in N’Erud. However, you need to have unlocked the Warden beforehand and ditch all the progress you had on your main character, so it’s not a perfect solution.
Finding the Armor in the Dilapidated Auditorium
Instead, you may prefer to go back to the Dilapidated Auditorium world crystal to find the Nanoplated Armor the old-fashioned way. Spawn at this location and then head right, towards the downwards ramp. Soon, you’ll come across a glider, which you need to take over the bridge that’s visible in the distance.
Use the booster springs to get proper air time; it shouldn’t be too hard. Your target is the barely discernible opening with a mild orange light coming off it, just above the right side of the bridge you’re flying over. You need to drop onto this platform and immediately prepare for combat. Enemies will push towards you from the adjoining corridor, and you need to push towards them if you intend to grab that sweet Nanoplated set.
Combat and Rewards Await
It’s a fairly straightforward encounter, and it won’t take long before you reach the fancy circular room with the reward hanging off the equipment closet. Note that Spark can spawn in this area too, which is handy if you’re trying to unlock it as a vendor. The Nanoplated Armor is a heavy set with rather great Bleed and Blight resistances, and I’m quite fond of it myself. The helmet is about as wacky as they get, though!
As you engage enemies and claim your reward, remember that the gameplay experience in Remnant 2 is significantly enriched with the new armor. The combination of strategic combat and exploration makes finding the Nanoplated Armor not just a task, but a thrilling adventure!
Maximizing Your Experience with Nanoplated Armor
Once you’ve acquired the Nanoplated Armor, it’s essential to understand how to maximize its potential in gameplay. The armor provides excellent resistances, particularly against Bleed and Blight, making it a valuable asset when facing tougher enemies in Remnant 2.
Utilize the armor’s strengths by engaging in combat scenarios that allow you to leverage your resistances effectively. Pairing the armor with the right weapons and skills can enhance your overall effectiveness in battles. Experiment with different loadouts to find the combination that suits your playstyle.
Additionally, exploring the world around you can lead to unexpected discoveries that complement your armor’s capabilities. Keep an eye out for upgrades and items that can further enhance your character's performance.
In conclusion, the journey to find the Nanoplated Armor in Remnant 2 is filled with excitement and strategic combat. With the right preparation and determination, you can enhance your gameplay experience significantly!
