Author : Ethan Update : Mar 15,2025

In *Freedom Wars Remastered*, players enjoy the strategic freedom of equipping two weapons before each Operation. With six distinct weapon types available, crafting a character to perfectly match your playstyle is a key element of the game. Choose any combination to create your ideal loadout.

Three melee and three ranged weapon types offer diverse gameplay options. Several weapons feature unique charge-up effects, adding another layer of tactical depth. All weapons are fully customizable, allowing for extensive personalization.

Every Weapon Type in Freedom Wars Remastered

New weapons are acquired by completing Operations or purchasing them from Zakka in The Warren. While Comrades' weapon choices are predetermined, you have complete control over your Accessory's loadout. Change your weapons—or your Accessory's—at any time; there are no penalties for frequent switching.

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks ideal for fast-paced combat against single targets. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide-swinging attacks inflict substantial damage. Well-placed attacks can hit multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. Charged attacks launch you into the air at the end of combos. Slightly reduces movement speed.
Polearm	Attacks often involve charging through enemies, providing mobility and evasion. Charged attacks throw the polearm for significant damage from a safe distance.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity makes them perfect primary weapons for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with your Thorne, allowing for strategic positioning and ranged attacks.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage with low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces 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. Reduces movement speed.
