In Freedom Wars Remastered, players can tailor their combat experience by equipping two weapons of their choice before diving into an Operation. With six distinct weapon types available, you have the freedom to mix and match to suit your preferred play style. Whether you're a fan of up-close-and-personal combat or prefer to take down enemies from a distance, the game's arsenal has you covered.
Some of these weapons come with unique effects that activate upon charging, adding another layer of strategy to your gameplay. The arsenal is split into three gun types and three melee types, each of which can be customized to meet your specific needs. Let's dive into the details of each weapon type and what sets them apart.
Every Weapon Type in Freedom Wars Remastered
You can acquire new weapons by successfully completing operations or by making purchases at the Zakka store in The Warren. While you can't dictate the weapons your Comrades use, you have full control over your Accessory's equipment. Switching weapons or your Accessory's weapon is seamless, with no penalties or benefits tied to frequent changes or sticking to the same set. Here's a breakdown of the six weapon types:
| Weapon Type | Traits |
|---|---|
| Light Melee | Quick attacks ideal for fast-paced playstyles, effective against single targets. --- Can sever Abductor limbs without the need for a Flare Knife. |
| Heavy Melee | Wide arcing attacks that deliver significant damage. --- Capable of hitting multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. --- Charged attacks can launch you into the air at the end of a combo. --- Slightly reduces your movement speed when equipped. |
| Polearm | Attacks involve charging through enemies, helping you evade incoming attacks. --- Charged attacks allow you to throw the polearm for massive damage from a safe distance. |
| Assault Weapons | High ammo capacity, perfect for gun-focused builds. --- Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, offering better angles and safer shooting positions. |
| Portable Artillery | High single-shot damage but with limited ammo capacity. --- Explosive AOE shots capable of hitting multiple limbs for increased damage. --- Reduces your movement speed when equipped. |
| Autocannons | High rate of fire with substantial ammo and magazine size. --- Individual shots have lower damage, compensated by the rapid firing rate. --- Reduces your movement speed when equipped. |
It's worth noting that, unlike the player, your Accessory doesn't need to worry about ammo when using gun weapons, giving you an edge in combat scenarios.
