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, avoiding reliance on mission rewards alone. This guide covers weapon and accessory upgrades in Freedom Wars Remastered.

Weapon upgrades become available after reaching Level 002 Code Clearance in the main story. This unlocks the Facility Management Function via the Personal Responsibility Portal, granting access to the Weapon Development Facility. Here, you manage your weapons, upgrading them using resources and Entitlement Points. Enlisting a Citizen can reduce upgrade costs, with each Citizen offering varying reduction rates based on their Facility Manager Aptitude. While it might seem complex initially, the process is surprisingly straightforward.

Before upgrading, a screen previews the stat changes. The facility also lets you add Elements, experiment with Modules and Module Slots. To reach higher Grades, purchase the necessary permits from the Claim Entitlement tab in the Window of Liberty.

Early missions often yield low-Grade weapons. While Zakka in The Warren sells weapons, they're mostly Grade 1, making upgrading essential. A CODE 3 Exam requires claiming higher-Grade Development Facility Permits. These permits allow you to focus on upgrading a chosen weapon, using lower-Grade mission finds to reduce your sentence and earn more Entitlement Points.

Your first upgrade unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with more tied to the system, making it attractive for achievement hunters. The damage difference between weapon Grades is substantial, incentivizing consistent upgrades.

Note that the Ability Development Facility, accessible within Facility Management, unlocks later in the game.
