Freedom Wars Remastered: All Weapon Types Detailed

In *Freedom Wars Remastered*, players have the exciting opportunity to tailor their combat experience by equipping two weapons of their choice before embarking on an Operation. With six distinct weapon types available, you can mix and match to create a play style that suits you best. Whether you lean towards the precision of melee combat or the strategic advantage of ranged attacks, the game offers something for everyone.

Some of these weapons have special effects that activate when charged, adding depth to your combat strategy. The arsenal is split evenly between three gun types and three melee types, all of which can be customized to enhance your effectiveness in battle. Here's a rundown of the six main weapon types and their unique characteristics:

Every Weapon Type in Freedom Wars Remastered

In *Freedom Wars Remastered*, you can acquire new weapons by successfully completing operations or by making purchases at the Zakka store in The Warren. While you can't dictate the weapon choices of your Comrades, you have full control over your Accessory's equipment. Feel free to switch your weapons or your Accessory's weapon at any time without any repercussions or advantages tied to your choices. Let's dive into the specifics 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 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, 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 an excellent 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 firing compensates for this. Reduces your movement speed when equipped.

It's worth noting that, unlike the player, your Accessory does not need to worry about ammo when using gun weapons, giving you more flexibility in your tactical choices.
