Packing serious heat is the name of the game in Remnant 2, and the Dark Horizon DLC adds plenty of mega weapons to unlock and equip. However, as usual, getting your hands on them isn’t as straightforward as it could be.

All new weapons in Remnant 2 Dark Horizon
There are a total of five new weapons to collect in Remnant 2 Dark Horizon, dotted around the map. These are the ones found so far, and how to get ahold of them.
Where to find the Monorail in Remnant 2
To unlock the Monorail weapon in Remnant 2 Dark Horizon, you must defeat the Alepsis Taura boss. This will award the Eternity Chamber, combined with seven Luminite Crystals, and 1,000 Scrap. Bring these to Ava at Ward 13 to receive the weapon.
Is the Monorail good?
The Monorail is a charged weapon with three rounds in a magazine. If charged too much, it will explode, resulting in a black hole that will instantly kill you. However, if you time the charge perfectly, it absolutely devastates enemies.
The Monorail is a tricky weapon to use, but once you master the timing of the charge, it can be very effective. The Recoil Dampner special ability further stabilizes the gun, making it slightly easier to use and multiplying the critical chance and damage.
I found using the Monorail at a mid-range quite effective, although the charge time and small magazine size meant I was overwhelmed quickly. It pairs well with the Closed Loop ring, giving additional armor when using a charged shot.

Where to find the Harvester Sythe in Remnant 2
I found this weapon in the Agronomy Sector just to the right of the main ravine. I had to enter a small cave in the wall by gliding down (which is near where you get the Warden Archetype) and fighting a miniboss. After this battle, the Harvester Sythe was on a corpse. However, this is a random drop weapon and can only be found through exploration.
Is the Harvester Sythe good?
This quickly became my favorite melee weapon in the Remnant 2 Dark Horizon DLC due to its speed and significant damage. It has a great combo of attacks that grow in damage with each swing. I found that I was able to pull this weapon out in a tight spot to dispatch groups of enemies quickly.
The charged and regular swings with this weapon do plenty of damage, but to lay on some serious devastation, the special ability should be used. When activated, a phantom follows the blade, adding damage and speed and reducing charge time with every swing.
Harvester Sythe stats
- Damage – 65
- Crit Chance – 12%
- Weak Spot Damage – 100%
- Stagger Modifier – 33.4%
- Special
- Phantom Blade – Charged melee attacks leave a phantom that trails behind the weapon, dealing 35% of weapon damage. Each hit of Phantom Blade increases melee attack speed and melee charge speed by 6% for 5s max 5 stacks.
Once you grab yourself a couple of the weapons, make sure you get your hands on the armor set designed specifically for the Remnant 2 Dark Horizon DLC.
