Freedom Wars Remastered allows players to equip two weapons of their choice for each operation, offering diverse strategic options. With six distinct weapon types available, players can tailor their loadouts to match their preferred playstyle. The game features three gun types and three melee weapons, each customizable to further enhance personalization.
Let's explore the unique characteristics of each weapon type:
Weapon Types in Freedom Wars Remastered
New weapons are acquired through completing operations or purchasing them from Zakka in The Warren. While Comrade weapon choices are predetermined, players have complete control over their Accessory's weaponry. Switching weapons frequently incurs no penalties or benefits.
| Weapon Type | Traits |
|---|---|
| Light Melee | Quick attacks ideal for fast-paced combat, effective against single targets. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife. |
| Heavy Melee | Wide-sweeping attacks inflict substantial damage. Well-placed attacks can hit multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. Charged attacks launch the player into the air. Slightly reduces movement speed. |
| Polearm | Attacks involve charging through enemies, providing mobility and evasion. Charged attacks launch the polearm for significant damage from a distance. |
| Assault Weapons | High ammo capacity, making it an excellent primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne for strategic advantage. |
| Portable Artillery | High single-shot damage but limited ammo. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces movement speed. |
| Autocannons | High rate of fire with ample ammo and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, but the high fire rate compensates. Reduces movement speed. |
Unlike player characters, Accessories don't consume ammo when using gun weapons. This strategic element adds another layer of depth to combat planning and execution.
