Remant 2 The Dark HorizonDLC brought a pile of new equipment, weapons, and accessories to wear. Among all of these, theDetonating Cordis one that will surelychange the meta of the game, opening the possibilities for some great AoE builds.
First things first: players need to find this ring, and withRemnant 2’s procedural map generation, that can be tricky. But don’t worry; this guide narrows down the location of this ring to two possible locations in the Agronomy Sector in N’erud. Players looking for this powerful accessory should startThe Dark Horizonone-shot adventure, then pick up this guide from there.
Detonating Cord Location One: Agronomy Sector North
From thestarting checkpointof theDark HorizonAgronomy Sector map, players should go north until they find a fork. Then, they should choose the path leading further north and pick up the first drone that will pop up from the platform.
If players direct thegliding Dronetoward the hot air stream that’s in front, they’ll be propelled upward, to a platform located one level above the ledge. This platform will be big enough to have two of those big orange lamps illuminating the crops, and oneHarvesterwill be patrolling the area. Defeat the Harvester, climb the ledge on the left side, and then anAmalgamwill appear.
Players can use the streams of hot air to maintain the gliding drone for longer periods, but if they wish to descend, they can press the ‘Crouch’ key. That way, they can prevent going beyond the landing point and control their descent.
This elite enemy can be a little tricky to deal with, so equipping a resilient melee build with atank Archetypecan help players with the non-stop blows they’ll receive from this beast. It doesn’t have too much health, so a couple of primary weapon magazines unloaded in its weak point (the shiny orange thing in its head) will do the trick.
After that, players will notice a purplish glow on the floor next to an orange lamp. There, they’ll find theDetonating Cordlyingon the floor.
Detonating Cord Location Two: Agronomy Sector East
From the second Checkpoint, turn east andpick up the drone right next to Spark, the friendly Surveyor Robot with a knack for poetry. Players will notice two ledges in front of them: the one below leads to theentrance of the Stagnant Manufactory,so players should land onthe one placed higher, with all the crops and the orange lamps glowing.
Once they land, players have to run up the hill and battle a Harvester that is safeguarding some crops and patrolling the area. Once they defeat it, they can climb toward a middle section between the two ledges. There, they’ll see a body on the ground holding a purple item. That’s the Detonating Cord.
TheDetonator Mutatorcollected from theAstral Harvester Bosssynergizes particularly well with the Detonating Cord, empowering its Explosive Damage rounds and the area damage caused by its triggered effect.
The Detonating Cord grants a new effect thatbuffs Explosive Damage by 10%and lasts 15 seconds. At the same time, it causes an explosion dealing 362.5 base damage around the player. This damage can scale with Explosive Damage buffs, such as the one activated by the Detonating Cord, and other accessories and Traits with similar effects.
