In Freedom Wars Remastered, players have the exciting opportunity to tailor their combat approach by selecting two weapons from a diverse arsenal of six types before embarking on an Operation. This freedom allows you to craft a character that perfectly aligns with your preferred playstyle, whether you lean towards rapid, agile combat or a more deliberate, powerful approach.
Each of the six weapon types in Freedom Wars Remastered boasts unique characteristics and effects, particularly when charged up. The weapons are split into three gun types and three melee types, all of which can be customized to suit your needs. Here's a detailed look at each weapon type and what sets them apart:
Every Weapon Type In Freedom Wars Remastered
In Freedom Wars Remastered, you can acquire new weapons either by successfully completing Operations or by making purchases at the Zakka store in The Warren. While you can't directly choose the weapons for your Comrades, you have full control over your Accessory's equipment. Switching weapons frequently or sticking to a favorite set comes with no penalties or benefits, offering you complete flexibility in your gameplay strategy. Here are the six weapon types and their unique traits:
Weapon Type | Traits |

Light Melee |
- Quick attacks ideal for fast 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 hits can strike multiple Abductor limbs, multiplying damage as if hit multiple times.
- Charged attacks can propel you into the air at the end of your combo.
- Slightly reduces your movement speed when equipped.
|
Polearm |
- Most attacks involve charging through enemies, allowing evasion of incoming attacks.
- Charged attacks enable throwing the polearm for massive damage from a safe distance.

Assault Weapons |

- Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, allowing for better shooting angles or safety.
|
Portable Artillery |

Autocannons |

An interesting aspect of Freedom Wars Remastered is that, unlike the player, your Accessory does not need to manage ammo when using gun weapons, adding another layer of strategy to your combat preparations.
