Freedom Wars Remastered immerses players in a thrilling dystopian world where they, as Sinners, battle monstrous Abductors to defend humanity. To boost their combat prowess, players can enhance their weapons and accessories. Upgrading weapons not only improves their base stats but also allows the addition of modules that offer diverse enhancements.

You can start upgrading your weapons and accessories early in the game, eliminating the need to depend solely on mission rewards or enemy drops. This guide provides detailed steps on how to upgrade your weapons and accessories in Freedom Wars Remastered.

How To Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered

Upgrading weapons in Freedom Wars Remastered is a process you can start once you reach Level 002 Code Clearance in the main storyline. At this point, as a CODE 2 Sinner, you'll unlock the Facility Management Function through the Personal Responsibility Portal. Within the Weapon Development Facility, you'll be able to manage and upgrade your weapons. This requires specific resources and Entitlement Points, though you can reduce the cost by employing the services of a Citizen. Different Citizens provide varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude. While it might seem complex at first, the system becomes intuitive with practice.

Before proceeding with an upgrade, you'll be presented with a screen showing the anticipated changes to your weapon's stats. The Weapon Development Facility also allows for the addition of Elements and experimentation with Modules and Module Slots. To elevate a weapon to a higher Grade, you'll need to purchase the necessary permit from the Claim Entitlement tab on the Window of Liberty.

Should You Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered?

In the early stages of the main story, missions typically don't yield high-Grade weapons as rewards. Although you can buy weapons and other combat items from Zakka in The Warren, these are mostly limited to Grade Level 1, making weapon upgrades nearly indispensable. One of your CODE 3 Exams involves obtaining higher Grade Development Facility Permits, which enable you to upgrade any weapon to your preference and retain it, while donating lower-grade weapons found during missions to reduce your sentence and earn additional Entitlement Points.

The initial upgrade in the Weapon Development Facility also unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with further achievements linked to the upgrading system, making it particularly attractive for trophy hunters. The substantial damage difference between weapons of different Grades underscores the importance of dedicating time to gear improvement.

Additionally, later in the game, players can access the Ability Development Facility within Facility Management, further enhancing their gameplay experience.
