Freedom Wars Remastered: A Deep Dive into Weapon Types

Freedom Wars Remastered offers players the strategic advantage of equipping two weapons of their choice before embarking on Operations. From a selection of six distinct weapon types, players can craft diverse builds to match their preferred playstyle. The game features three gun and three melee weapon types, each customizable to enhance individual combat strategies.

Weapon Variety in Freedom Wars Remastered

New weapons are acquired through Operation completion or purchases from Zakka in The Warren. While Comrades' weapon choices are predetermined, players have complete control over their Accessory's weaponry. Weapon changes are unrestricted; there's no advantage or disadvantage to frequent switching.

The six weapon types are detailed below:

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 against multiple Abductor limbs. 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 ranged damage.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity, perfect as a primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with the Thorne, providing tactical advantages.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage with low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces movement speed.
Autocannons	High rate of fire, large ammo capacity and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, compensated by rapid fire. Reduces movement speed.

A key distinction: Accessories using gun weapons are unaffected by ammo limitations. This strategic element adds another layer to combat planning and character customization.
