Freedom Wars Remasteredis set in a dystopian world where the few people alive must battle one another in an attempt to harvest the planet’s scant resources. Firefights and bloodshed are a part of everyday life, so you’ll need to constantly build your arsenal if you hope to survive long.

While you’ll add many weapons to your collection naturally by completing objectives, they won’t always be perfect fits for your loadout. Some will be underleveled, while others may lack the elemental bonuses you require. Thankfully, you can tinker with these weapons to your heart’s content, provided you have the right facilities and resources.

How To Modify Weapons

In order to begin modifying weapons in any way, you’ll first need togain access to the weapon development facility.

This will occur naturally during the beginning of the game, after youpurchase the Grade 1 Weapon Development Facility Permit Entitlement. Claiming this willgive you access to the Facility Management menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, and you may begin weapon customization.

How To Upgrade Weapons

The easiest way tosee an immediate performance boostin a weapon is tolevel it up. Enter the Upgrade Weapons menu, andyou’ll be able to increase a weapon’s base stats. These increases canaffect attributes like attack power, critical hit chance, range, and more.

After selecting the weapon you want to upgrade, the game willshow you what resources you needto pay for it,as well as how many Entitlement Points. If you’re willing to make the trade, you will then beshown what exact stats the upgrade will enhance. After confirming you want to proceed, you’ll be given your improved weapon.

You can request citizen supportbefore paying for an upgrade bypressing Triangle/X/Y. If you have rescued anycitizens with good facility management skills, you canget Entitlement Point discountson your weapon modifications.

Simply upgrading your weapons is thebest way to make them stronger. However,leveling up weapons in the early game can be difficultdue to your lack of resources. Thus,modules offer a good alternativewhile you stockpile the necessary resources to invest in more expensive options.

How To Craft Modules

Modules aretiny stat boosts you may add to your arsenal. You’llearn many of them for freeduring the course of completing missions,equipping them to your weapons in the loadout menu, but after you progress deeper into the game, you’ll be able tocraft the specific ones you want.

After buying theGrade 2 Weapon Development Facility Permit Entitlement, you can begin manufacturing modules. Much like raw upgrades, you’ll be asked toforfeit some resources and Entitlement Pointsto create your desired product.

You canonly equip as many modules as your weapon has open slots, but you can add more by using Entitlement Points. The amount of Points you will have to pay isdetermined by the Facility Manager Aptitudeof whichever rescued citizen you choose to help you.

If you have a module you’re particularly fond of, you can take a few and attempt tofuse them together to create an even more potent versionwith stronger effects. Unfortunately,this process can fail, but yourchances of success are increaseddepending on how many modules you attempt to fuse together and which citizen is assisting you.

Modules are excellent when it comes to providing quick weapon buffs, andcan help you shape your distinct playstyle, such as increasing damage to a certain enemy body part or adding range to a firearm.Normal upgrades will become more useful as you venture deeper into the game, however, asyou’ll need fundamentally stronger weaponsin order to compete with tougher enemies.

How To Add Elements To Weapons

When you get the Grade 3 Weapon Development Facility Permit Entitlement, you canimbue your weapons with elemental powers. The game has four elements,each of which counters another(fire beats ice beats electricity beats Will’O beats fire). You can use this knowledge toexploit enemy weaknesses and take them down easily.

To add elemental traits to a weapon, you’ll be given the option oftaking the abilities of a donor weapon or using a resource. Taking the skills of a weapon willyield meagre status changes and cost fewer points, whereas resources generallyoffer bigger improvements at a steeper price.

Elements are the final ingredient to creating the perfect build. While they can certainlyhelp optimize your loadoutfor taking on specific encounters, theyshould not be prioritized over upgrades and modules, which are more generally applicable to a variety of situations.
