Freedom Wars Remastered: A Deep Dive into Weapon Types

Freedom Wars Remastered allows players to equip two weapons of their choice before embarking on an Operation. With six distinct weapon types available, players can craft a character build tailored to their preferred playstyle. Any combination is possible!

Three gun and three melee weapon types are available, each customizable. Certain weapons boast unique charged-attack effects. Let's explore the six weapon types in detail:

Every Weapon Type in Freedom Wars Remastered

New weapons are acquired through Operations or purchases from Zakka in The Warren. While Comrade weapon choices are fixed, Accessory weapons are fully customizable. Switching weapons frequently incurs no penalties.

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks, ideal for fast-paced combat against single targets. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide-sweeping attacks dealing substantial damage. Well-placed attacks can hit multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. 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 high damage from a distance.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity, perfect as a primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne for advantageous angles or safe distance shooting.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage, 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 the rapid firing rate. Reduces movement speed.
