Freedom Wars Remastered plunges you into a dystopian future where you, a Sinner, battle monstrous Abductors to protect humanity. To bolster your combat prowess, upgrading weapons and accessories is key. This involves enhancing base stats and adding modules for various improvements. You can start upgrading early, bypassing reliance on mission rewards or enemy drops. This guide details weapon and accessory upgrades in Freedom Wars Remastered.
How To Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered
Weapon upgrades unlock after reaching Level 002 Code Clearance in the main story. This grants CODE 2 Sinners access to the Facility Management Function via the Personal Responsibility Portal. The Weapon Development Facility is where you manage and upgrade your arsenal. Upgrading requires resources and Entitlement Points, but enlisting a Citizen can reduce the cost, with different Citizens offering varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude. It's simpler than it sounds.
Before upgrading, a screen previews stat changes. The facility also lets you add Elements, experiment with Modules and Module Slots. To reach higher weapon Grades, purchase the necessary permits from the Claim Entitlement tab in the Window of Liberty.
Should You Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered?
Early missions offer limited high-Grade weapon rewards. While Zakka in The Warren sells weapons (mostly Grade 1), upgrading becomes almost essential. A CODE 3 Exam requires higher Grade Development Facility Permits, allowing you to upgrade a weapon of your choice. Donate lower-grade weapons from missions to reduce your sentence and earn more Entitlement Points.
The first Weapon Development Facility upgrade unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with more tied to the system, appealing to trophy hunters. The damage difference between Grades is significant, incentivizing weapon improvement. The Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later.
