Remnant 2: A Complete Guide to Acquiring the Black Greatsword

The Black Greatsword is a melee weapon introduced in Remnant 2 with the launch of The Dark Horizon DLC. While it may not be the top choice for melee combat, many players might still want to add this sword to their collection. This guide will outline the steps required to acquire the Black Greatsword in Remnant 2.

Interestingly, some players have reported being able to acquire the Black Greatsword without needing to purchase The Dark Horizon DLC. This suggests that the sword might not be exclusive to the DLC and could be included in the free update that introduced the Prism system in Remnant 2.

1. Craft the Alpha/Omega Long Gun

The first task in obtaining the Black Greatsword is to craft the Alpha/Omega Long Gun. To create this weapon, head to McCabe in Ward 13 and provide her with a Forgotten Memory. To acquire a Forgotten Memory, players need to defeat Annihilation, the game's final boss.

2. Acquire Black Metal Bars

Once you have crafted the Alpha/Omega Long Gun, proceed to the firing range in Ward 13 and speak with Brabus. Purchase every weapon he has available for sale. If you're low on Scraps and can't buy all of Brabus's weapons, check out our guide on farming Scraps in Remnant 2 to gather more.

After buying all the weapons, engage Brabus in conversation again to trigger a new dialogue. At the end of this exchange, you'll receive Black Metal Bars, an essential item for obtaining the Black Greatsword.

3. Deliver the Black Metal Bars to McCabe

Next, take the Black Metal Bars to McCabe in her workshop in Ward 13. Choose the dialogue option "I have something for you to look at" to initiate the exchange. McCabe will then inform you that she needs some time to work with the materials.

4. Wait and Return to McCabe

After handing over the Black Metal Bars, fast travel away from Ward 13 and then return. Once you’re back, speak with McCabe and select the "Is it done?" dialogue option. She will then present you with the Black Greatsword melee weapon.

By following these steps, players can successfully acquire the Black Greatsword and add this intriguing weapon to their arsenal in Remnant 2. Happy hunting!
