Freedom Wars Remastered: How To Get & Use Flare Knife

Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To conquer these towering foes, utilizing the right tools is crucial. The Flare Knife is a valuable asset, offering a unique approach to combat. This guide details how to obtain and effectively use this powerful item.

Acquiring the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is surprisingly accessible early in the game. Once you achieve Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. This vendor sells a range of combat items, including the Flare Knife, for 3,000 Entitlement Points. Equip it via the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, selecting an available Combat Item slot.

Utilizing the Flare Knife in Combat

The Flare Knife is specifically designed for severing Abductor limbs. This makes it a valuable tool for players who prefer Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, bypassing the need for Light Melee weapons to achieve this crucial tactic. Keep in mind, it's a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for subsequent Operations.

To employ the Flare Knife, target the severable Abductor part and use your Thorn to grapple onto it. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option appears, initiating a quick-time event (QTE). Rapidly pressing the designated button depletes a progress bar; successful completion severs the limb. However, be aware that the Abductor might interrupt the process by leaping or crashing.

Cooperative play enhances the Flare Knife's effectiveness. Teammates can repeatedly snare the Abductor, significantly simplifying the severing process.
