Freedom Wars Remastered: How To Get & Use Flare Knife

Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To succeed, utilizing every tool is crucial. The Flare Knife is a powerful combat item that can significantly aid in these encounters. This guide details how to acquire and effectively use the Flare Knife against Abductors.

Obtaining the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is surprisingly accessible early in the game. Once you achieve Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. Zakka's inventory includes the Flare Knife, purchasable for 3,000 Entitlement Points. Equip it via the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, selecting an available Combat Item slot.

Utilizing the Flare Knife

The Flare Knife is a single-use item specifically designed for severing Abductor limbs. This provides an alternative for players who prefer Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, eliminating the need for Light Melee weapons solely for severing. However, remember to repurchase it before each Operation.

To use it, lock onto a severable Abductor part. Use your Thorn to grapple onto the target area. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option will appear. A quick-time event (QTE) will initiate, requiring rapid button mashing to successfully sever the limb. Be mindful; the Abductor might interrupt the process by leaping or crashing.

Cooperative play enhances the process. Snare the Abductor repeatedly with teammates to create more opportunities for successful severing.
