• Should You Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered?

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 enhancing base stats and adding modules for various improvements. You can start upgrading early, bypassing reliance on mission rewards and enemy drops. This guide details 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 is where you manage and upgrade your weapons, requiring resources and Entitlement Points. Reducing upgrade costs is possible by enlisting the help of a Citizen, each offering varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude. The process is simpler than it sounds.

Before upgrading, a screen previews the stat changes. The facility also lets you add Elements and experiment with Modules and Module Slots. Upgrading to a higher Grade requires purchasing the necessary permit from the Claim Entitlement tab in the Window of Liberty.

Early game missions often yield low-Grade weapons. While Zakka in The Warren sells weapons, they're mostly Grade 1, making upgrading almost essential. A CODE 3 Exam requires claiming higher Grade Development Facility Permits. These permits allow you to upgrade a chosen weapon, letting you focus your resources. You can donate low-grade mission finds for reduced sentences and extra Entitlement Points.

Upgrading your first weapon unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with more tied to the upgrade system, making it attractive for achievement hunters. The damage difference between weapon Grades is substantial, incentivizing gear improvement. Note that the Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later.
