Freedom Wars Remastered: Weapon Types Detailed

In Freedom Wars Remastered, you have the freedom to equip two weapons of your choice before embarking on an Operation. With six distinct weapon types at your disposal, you can craft your character to match any playstyle you desire. Whether you prefer to engage enemies up close or keep your distance, the game's versatility in weapon selection ensures you're well-equipped for any challenge.

Each of the six weapon types brings its own unique effects and capabilities, especially when charged. The arsenal is split evenly between three gun weapons and three melee weapons, each fully customizable to suit your preferences. Here's a detailed look at the six main weapon types and their distinctive features:

Every Weapon Type In Freedom Wars Remastered

You can acquire new weapons by successfully completing operations or by visiting the Zakka store in The Warren. While you can't select the weapons for your Comrades, you have full control over your Accessory's equipment. Feel free to switch your weapons or your Accessory's at any time without worrying about penalties or benefits. Here's a breakdown of the six weapon types:

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks ideal for fast-paced playstyles and targeting single enemies. Can sever Abductor limbs without the need for a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide arcing attacks that deliver significant damage. Well-placed attacks can strike multiple Abductor limbs, multiplying damage as if hitting them multiple times. Charged attacks can launch you into the air at the end of your combo. Slightly reduces your movement speed when equipped.
Polearm	Most attacks involve charging through enemies, helping you evade incoming attacks. Charged attacks allow you to throw your polearm for massive damage from a safe distance.
Assault Weapons	High total ammo capacity, making it perfect as a primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, offering better angles or safe-distance shooting.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage but with a low overall 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 capacity and magazine size. Individual shots may not deal much damage, but the rapid fire compensates for this. 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 additional strategic advantage in combat.
