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 boosting base stats and adding modules for enhanced capabilities. You can start upgrading early, bypassing reliance on mission rewards. 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 weapons, requiring resources and Entitlement Points. Enlisting a Citizen can reduce upgrade costs, with different Citizens offering varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude. The process is simpler than it sounds.
Before upgrading, you'll see a preview of the stat changes. The facility also lets you add Elements, experiment with Modules, and utilize Module Slots. To reach higher 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, they're mostly Grade 1, making upgrading crucial. A CODE 3 Exam requires claiming higher Grade Development Facility Permits. These permits allow you to upgrade a chosen weapon and stick with it, donating lower-Grade finds for reduced sentences and more Entitlement Points.
Upgrading your first weapon unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with further achievements tied to the system. The significant damage difference between Grades encourages gear improvement. Note that the Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later.
