Guide briefing
Unlock and Configure Campaign Remix
Collect Speed Limit, Magnified, and Perspective on The Pillar of Autumn, then open Campaign Remix and configure its three mandatory randomizer Skulls. The current official requirement is any three hidden Skulls; the cited video’s two-Skull unlock statement is outdated.
