Unleash the Power: Unraveling the Secrets of Acquiring the Atom Smasher in Remnant 2

The Atom Smasher in Remnant 2 is an impressive hammer that utilizes advanced rocket technology to crush enemies. This melee weapon is an excellent choice for players who want to enhance their close-range combat abilities. While it doesn't literally smash individual atoms, its powerful capabilities can break apart the bonds between them, offering a unique approach to dealing with opponents.

Although the Engineer Archetype in Remnant 2 already starts with the Atom Smasher, other archetypes can still obtain and enjoy this weapon through exploration. Depending on the world where players initially spawn, the Atom Smasher may be the first melee weapon they come across. However, the journey and challenge to acquire it are worthwhile, particularly when players have the ability to travel between different worlds.

Atom Smasher Location in Remnant 2

In N'Erud's Terminus Station dungeon, players can discover the Atom Smasher melee weapon in the last train cart. To obtain it, players must first reach Terminus Station and endure the 7-minute combat train challenge, orchestrated by the malevolent train conductor, which is one of the hidden events in Remnant 2. Once the challenge is successfully completed and the train comes to a halt, players will be granted the Atom Smasher as a reward. To claim it, they should exit through the train door and locate the adjacent checkpoint crystal.

Crouch under the pipes opposite the checkpoint crystal to find a chest, then climb the nearby ladder.

Follow the designated pathway to get a bird's-eye view of the train parked below through the window. Seamlessly hop onto the train using the open window and descend through the accessible hatch to discover the coveted Atom Smasher. Its exact location can be found on the map provided below. Additionally, in close proximity, players will stumble upon the sought-after Decorum Cipher for Remnant 2's plasma cutter.

Exit the train through the recently opened door to discover an additional chest and a recording log next to a deceased individual in the adjacent room.

Prior to utilizing the crystal to depart the dungeon, players must verify that they have obtained the Atom Smasher and completed their exploration, as there seems to be no means to return to this location through a portal. Re-entering Terminus Station upon returning to N'Erud is plausible, but the door connecting to the train station entrance area appears to be locked, with the train having already left the platform.

How to Reach Terminus Station on N'Erud in Remnant 2

Some players may be curious about locating Terminus Station on N'Erud's expansive map. While Remnant 2's regional map areas are generated randomly, it is plausible that certain players might stumble upon the entrance to Terminus Station while exploring the area to the right of Ascension Spire. At this particular spot, players might encounter a non-hostile NPC known as the Custodian.

Atom Smasher Features and Mods in Remnant 2

There is a cave entrance area on the right that potentially leads players to Terminus Station through the Abyssal Rift. However, it is important to note that due to map randomization, not all players will have the same experience, and some may need to explore and re-roll the map in order to locate Terminus Station. Upon traveling and descending through Terminus Station, players will eventually reach the train entrance after a lengthy elevator descent.

The Atom Smasher possesses an unalterable Accelerator modification that heightens the velocity of all melee strikes by 10%. This enhancement renders its charge attack remarkably potent, ensuring maximum impact. Moreover, the weapon offers an extra vacant modification slot that gamers can personalize with discoverable modifications, such as the Transference Mod. When equipped, this modification grants a 5% increase in maximum ammunition capacity for firearm reserves whenever melee hits are struck, accompanied by a 10-second cooldown period. Additionally, it bestows a remarkable 25% augmentation in modification power for a fully equipped firearm, exclusively obtainable upon reaching level 10.

Like other weapons, the Atom Smasher is upgradeable with resources like iron and scrap but comes with the following base stats:
