Freedom Wars Remastered plunges you into a dystopian future where you, a Sinner, battle monstrous Abductors to safeguard humanity. To bolster your combat prowess, upgrading weapons and accessories is key. This involves enhancing base stats and adding modules for significant improvements.
Early weapon upgrades are readily available, eliminating 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 allows comprehensive weapon management. Upgrading demands resources and Entitlement Points, costs reduced by enlisting a Citizen with Facility Manager Aptitude. While it may seem complex, the process is intuitive.
A pre-upgrade screen shows stat changes. The facility also enables Element addition, Module experimentation, and Module Slot manipulation. Higher Grade weapon upgrades require permits purchased from the Claim Entitlement tab in the Window of Liberty.
Should You Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered?
Early main story missions yield few high-Grade weapons. Zakka in The Warren offers limited Grade 1 weapons, making upgrading almost mandatory. A CODE 3 Exam requires claiming higher Grade Development Facility Permits. These permits allow upgrading chosen weapons, while donating lower-Grade mission finds reduces sentences and earns Entitlement Points.
The first Weapon Development Facility upgrade unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with further achievements linked to the upgrade system. The substantial damage difference between Grades strongly incentivizes gear improvement.
Finally, the Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later in the game.
