The developers of Remnant 2 have a knack for hiding intricate secrets in the game, and the Polygun is no exception. This unique weapon, hidden deep within the Labyrinth, was only uncovered after a dedicated effort by the community. In this guide, we’ll walk you through every step to unlock the Polygun, explain its unique mechanics, and provide tips to maximize its potential.


Requirements Before You Start

Before attempting to unlock the Polygun, make sure you:

  1. Have full access to the Labyrinth.
  2. Create a new instance of the Labyrinth after the DLC update.
  3. Clear all enemies to simplify the process.
  4. Prepare a specific corrupted loadout if you plan to access the corrupted portal.
  5. Note that dying at any point will reset your progress.

While this secret is best done solo to avoid potential glitches, you can call in a friend to help unlock portals if needed.


Step 1: Destroy the 13 Mysterious Cubes

To unlock the Polygun, you need to destroy 13 hidden cubes scattered across the Labyrinth. These cubes must be destroyed in a specific order as each only spawns after the previous one is destroyed.

Cube 1: Located in the main room, to the right of the giant portal.

Cube 2: In the room with the changing portal. Look up and to the left after jumping through.

Cube 3: Near the Bastion boss area, drop down and turn right.

Cube 4: Backtrack to the area where you unlocked the Chicago Typewriter and shoot the cube in the distance.

Cube 5: Above the materializing bridge near the main portal room.

Continue following this pattern, navigating through hidden portals and drop-downs to reach all 13 cubes. Be cautious, as a single misstep or death will reset your progress.


Accessing the Corrupted Portal

One of the cubes requires entering the corrupted portal in the Labyrinth. For this, you’ll need a corrupted loadout:

  • Corrupted Armor
  • Corrupted Weapon Mod
  • Specific Accessories

Coordinate with a friend if needed, but beware—entering the corrupted portal with others can cause glitches.


Unlocking the Polygun

After destroying the final cube, a new path opens leading to the Polygun. This weapon is unlike anything else in Remnant 2, featuring two distinct firing modes: a high-powered semi-automatic rifle and a shotgun.

Unique Reload Mechanic:

  • After each shot, a bar fills up. Reload when the bar is full.
  • If you shoot beyond the full bar, you’ll take damage.
  • Successfully timing your reload unlocks more shots, temporarily preventing overload damage.

This system adds a layer of skill-based gameplay, rewarding precision and timing.


Maximizing the Polygun’s Potential

The Polygun’s versatility makes it suitable for various builds:

  • Mutators: Enhance damage or manage reload times.
  • Mods: Focus on either rapid fire or high burst damage.

Combining the Polygun with archetypes like the Gunslinger or Handler can turn it into a lethal tool, capable of dealing with crowds and bosses alike.


Conclusion: A Reward Worth the Effort

Unlocking the Polygun in Remnant 2 is a challenging task, but its unique mechanics make it one of the most rewarding weapons in the game. Master the reload system, experiment with different builds, and transform the Polygun into a cornerstone of your arsenal.

Happy hunting, Wanderer!
