Freedom Wars Remastered: A Deep Dive into Weapon Types

Freedom Wars Remastered offers players the tactical flexibility to equip two weapons of their choice for each Operation. With six distinct weapon types available, players can craft diverse builds to match their preferred playstyle. This guide details each weapon type, highlighting their unique traits and combat applications.

The six weapon types, obtainable through Operations or Zakka's shop in The Warren, allow for extensive customization. While Comrade weapon choices are fixed, Accessory weapon selection is entirely under player control. Frequent weapon switching incurs no penalties.

Weapon Types in Freedom Wars Remastered

The following table summarizes the six weapon types:

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks ideal for rapid combat against single targets. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide-sweeping attacks dealing high damage. Well-placed attacks multiply damage against multiple limbs. Charged attacks launch the user into the air. Slightly reduces movement speed.
Polearm	Attacks involve charging through enemies, providing mobility and evasion. Charged attacks launch the polearm for significant ranged damage.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity, suited for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne for tactical advantage.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage but low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces movement speed.
Autocannons	High rate of fire with large ammo capacity and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, compensated by rapid fire. Reduces movement speed.
