Weapon Types in Freedom Wars Remastered

New weapons are acquired through completing operations or purchasing them from Zakka in The Warren. While Comrade weapon choices are fixed, players have complete control over their Accessory's weapon. Switching weapons frequently incurs no penalties.

Weapon Type	Traits
Light Melee	Quick attacks ideal for fast-paced combat, targeting single enemies. Can sever Abductor limbs without a Flare Knife.
Heavy Melee	Wide-ranging attacks delivering high damage. Well-placed attacks can hit multiple Abductor limbs for multiplied damage. Charged attacks launch the player into the air. Slightly reduces movement speed.
Polearm	Attacks involve charging through enemies, providing mobility and evasion. Charged attacks launch the polearm for significant damage from a distance.
Assault Weapons	High ammo capacity, perfect as a primary weapon for gun-focused builds. Can be fired while grappled with the Thorne for strategic advantage.
Portable Artillery	High single-shot damage with low ammo capacity. Explosive area-of-effect (AOE) shots can hit multiple limbs for increased damage. Reduces movement speed.
Autocannons	High rate of fire, large ammo capacity and magazine size. Individual shots have lower damage, compensated by rapid fire. Reduces movement speed.
