Freedom Wars Remastered: How To Get & Use Flare Knife

Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To conquer these towering foes, utilizing the right tools is crucial. The Flare Knife is a valuable asset, offering a unique approach to combat. This guide details how to acquire and effectively use this combat item.

Obtaining the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is surprisingly accessible early in the game. Once you achieve Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. This vendor sells a variety of items, including the Flare Knife, available for 3,000 Entitlement Points.

Equipping the Flare Knife is straightforward. Navigate to the Loadout menu within the Personal Responsibility Portal and select an empty Combat Item slot. Your Flare Knife will be listed among your available items.

Utilizing the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife's primary function is severing Abductor limbs. This is particularly useful for players who favor Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, as it provides a means to sever limbs without relying on Light Melee weapons. However, remember that the Flare Knife is a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for subsequent Operations.

To employ the Flare Knife, target the severable Abductor part and use your Thorn to grapple onto it. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option will appear. A quick-time event (QTE) will initiate, requiring rapid button presses to successfully sever the limb. Be aware that Abductors may attempt to interrupt the process by leaping or crashing into obstacles.

Cooperative gameplay enhances Flare Knife effectiveness. By coordinating with teammates to repeatedly snare the Abductor, the severing process becomes significantly easier.
