Freedom Wars Remastered: Every Weapon Type Explained

Author: Isabella Mar 16,2025

In *Freedom Wars Remastered*, you're equipped to tackle operations with a pair of weapons, chosen from six distinct types. This allows for highly customizable builds to match your preferred playstyle. Each weapon type offers unique advantages, creating diverse combat strategies.

Three weapon types are melee, and three are ranged. All weapons are customizable, and you can switch them at any time with no penalty. New weapons are acquired through operations or purchases from Zakka in The Warren. While you can't choose your comrade's weapons, you have complete control over your own and your accessory's equipment.

Every Weapon Type in Freedom Wars Remastered

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks ideal for swift combat, targeting single enemies. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide-swinging attacks dealing substantial damage. Well-placed attacks hit multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. Charged attacks launch you into the air at the end of combos. Slightly slows movement speed.
Polearm	Attacks often involve charging through enemies, maintaining distance from incoming attacks. Charged attacks throw the polearm for high damage from a safe range.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity, making them ideal primary weapons for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, allowing for strategic positioning and safe-distance shots.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage with low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Slows movement speed.
Autocannons	High rate of fire with large ammo capacity and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, but the high rate of fire compensates. Slows movement speed.
