Freedom Wars Remastered: A Deep Dive into Weapon Types
Freedom Wars Remastered allows players to equip two weapons of their choice for each Operation, offering diverse strategic options. With six distinct weapon types, players can tailor their character to any preferred playstyle. While Comrades' weapons are pre-determined, your Accessory's weapon is entirely customizable. Weapon switching incurs no penalties. Let's explore each weapon type:
Weapon Types in Freedom Wars Remastered
New weapons are acquired through Operations or Zakka's shop in The Warren. Here's a breakdown of each weapon type and its unique traits:
| Weapon Type | Traits |
|---|---|
| Light Melee | Quick attacks ideal for rapid combat against single targets. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife. |
| Heavy Melee | Wide-ranging attacks inflicting substantial damage. Well-placed attacks multiply damage by hitting multiple limbs. Charged attacks launch you into the air. Slightly reduces movement speed. |
| Polearm | Attacks involve charging through enemies, providing mobility and evasion. Charged attacks launch the polearm for significant ranged damage. |
| Assault Weapons | High ammo capacity, perfect as a primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne for strategic advantage. |
| Portable Artillery | High single-shot damage but low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces movement speed. |
| Autocannons | High rate of fire with large ammo capacity and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, but the high fire rate compensates. Reduces movement speed. |
Unlike the player character, your Accessory's gun weapons have unlimited ammo.
