Freedom Wars Remastered plunges players into a dystopian future where they, as Sinners, battle monstrous Abductors to safeguard humanity. Enhancing combat prowess is crucial, and upgrading weapons and accessories plays a vital role. This process not only boosts base stats but also integrates modules that offer various enhancements.

Players can initiate weapon upgrades early in the game, without needing to depend solely on mission rewards or enemy drops. Here's a comprehensive guide on how to upgrade your weapons and accessories in Freedom Wars Remastered.

How To Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered

To upgrade your weapons in Freedom Wars Remastered, you must advance in the main storyline until you reach Level 002 Code Clearance. At this point, CODE 2 Sinners unlock the Facility Management Function through the Personal Responsibility Portal. Navigate to the Weapon Development Facility, where you can oversee your entire arsenal. Upgrading requires specific resources and Entitlement Points, though costs can be mitigated by enlisting the aid of a Citizen. Different Citizens offer varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude, making the process manageable once you get the hang of it.

Before proceeding with an upgrade, you'll be presented with a screen showing the anticipated changes to your weapon's stats. The Weapon Development Facility also lets you add Elements and tinker with Modules and Module Slots. To elevate a weapon to a higher Grade, you'll need to purchase the necessary permit from the Claim Entitlement tab on the Window of Liberty.

Should You Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered?

In the initial stages of the main story, missions don't yield high-Grade weapons as rewards. While you can buy weapons and other combat items from Zakka in The Warren, these are mostly capped at Grade Level 1, underscoring the importance of upgrading. One of your CODE 3 Exams requires obtaining higher Grade Development Facility Permits, allowing you to enhance any weapon of your choice and maintain it, while donating lower-Grade weapons acquired during missions to reduce your sentence and gain additional Entitlement Points.

The first upgrade in the Weapon Development Facility unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with further achievements linked to the upgrading system, making it attractive for those aiming to complete their trophy collection. The substantial damage difference between weapons of different Grades strongly motivates players to invest time in upgrading their gear.

Additionally, later in the game, players gain access to the Ability Development Facility within Facility Management, further expanding their upgrade options.
