In *Freedom Wars Remastered*, players have the exciting opportunity to tailor their combat experience by equipping two weapons of their choice before diving into Operations. This game features six distinct weapon types, enabling players to craft a playstyle that perfectly suits their preferences. Each weapon type offers unique attributes, with some even possessing special effects upon charging, enhancing the strategic depth of your battles.
The arsenal includes three gun-based and three melee-based weapons, all of which can be customized to meet the player's tactical needs. You can acquire new weapons by successfully completing Operations or by making purchases at Zakka in The Warren. Although you can't select weapons for your Comrades, you have full control over your Accessory's gear. Feel free to switch your weapons or your Accessory's weaponry at any point without facing any penalties or benefits for frequent changes. Let's delve into the specifics of each weapon type:
Every Weapon Type In Freedom Wars Remastered
| Weapon Type | Traits |
|---|---|
| Light Melee | Quick attacks ideal for swift playstyles, effective for targeting single enemies. Can sever Abductor limbs without the need for a Flare Knife. |
| Heavy Melee | Features wide arcing attacks that deliver substantial damage. Accurately placed strikes can impact multiple Abductor limbs, multiplying damage as if struck multiple times. Charged attacks can propel you into the air at the end of your combo. Slightly reduces your movement speed when equipped. |
| Polearm | Attacks involve charging through enemies, helping you evade incoming attacks. Charged attacks allow you to hurl your polearm, inflicting massive damage from a safe distance. |
| Assault Weapons | Boasts a high total ammo capacity, making it an excellent primary choice for gun-focused strategies. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, offering improved shooting angles or safe distances. |
| Portable Artillery | Delivers high single-shot damage but with limited overall ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs, increasing damage output. Reduces your movement speed when equipped. |
| Autocannons | Features a high rate of fire and large ammo and magazine capacities. While individual shots may not pack a punch, the rapid fire compensates for this. Decreases your movement speed when equipped. |
Unlike the player, your Accessory does not need to manage ammo when using gun weapons, adding a layer of strategic flexibility to your combat approach.
