In the gripping world of Freedom Wars Remastered, players are not only navigating through the intricate mazes of holding cells and The Warren within the Panopticon but are also constantly engaged in epic battles against the colossal Abductors. These towering adversaries present a formidable challenge, compelling players to master a diverse range of weapons and tactics to emerge victorious.
Freedom Wars Remastered equips Sinners with a comprehensive arsenal, including essential tools that can decisively shift the momentum in high-stakes confrontations, particularly against these powerful foes. Here's a detailed guide on acquiring and effectively utilizing the Flare Knife against Abductors in Freedom Wars Remastered.
Acquiring the Flare Knife is a straightforward process that players can achieve early in their journey. Once you've reached Level 003 Code Clearance, make your way to Zakka in The Warren. Zakka serves as a hub for various weapons and combat items, where you can purchase the Flare Knife for 3,000 Entitlement Points.
To equip the Flare Knife, navigate to the Loadout menu within the Personal Responsibility Portal. Select an available slot under Combat Items, and if you've already purchased the Flare Knife, it will be listed and ready for you to equip for your next battle.
Described as a reusable yet one-time-use combat tool, the Flare Knife is designed specifically for severing Abductor parts. This makes it an invaluable asset for players who favor Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, as it allows them to sever limbs without switching to Light Melee weapons. Remember, you'll need to purchase another Flare Knife for subsequent Operations.
To use the Flare Knife effectively, lock onto the severable part of the Abductor and use your Thorn to pull yourself towards it. With the Flare Knife in your active slot, you'll be prompted to initiate the severing process. This triggers a quick QTE (Quick Time Event) where you must rapidly press a designated button to deplete the severing bar. Success results in the part being severed, but be wary as the Abductor may attempt to disrupt your efforts by leaping or crashing into walls.
When engaging in online multiplayer, coordinating with friends to repeatedly snare the Abductor can significantly simplify the severing process, enhancing your team's chances of success.
