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 various enhancements. You can start upgrading early, bypassing reliance on mission rewards or enemy drops. This guide covers 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 lets you manage your arsenal. Upgrading requires resources and Entitlement Points, but costs can be lowered by enlisting a Citizen with Facility Manager Aptitude. While it might seem complex, the process is intuitive once you begin.
Before upgrading, you'll preview stat changes. The facility also allows adding Elements, experimenting with Modules and Module Slots. To reach higher Grades, purchase the necessary permit 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 higher Grade Development Facility Permits. These permits allow you to upgrade a chosen weapon, using low-grade mission finds to reduce your sentence and earn more Entitlement Points.
Your first upgrade unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with more tied to the upgrade system. The damage difference between Grades is substantial, making upgrading a worthwhile investment. Note that the Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later.
