In Freedom Wars Remastered, reducing your million-year sentence is paramount, but equally important is boosting your CODE level to simplify the sinner's life. A higher CODE level unlocks more Entitlements, improving gameplay by enhancing features like running speed and upgrading equipment and comrades for easier Abductor battles. Let's explore the CODE level progression.
Freedom Wars Remastered features eight CODE levels. Progression is linear; you cannot regress, so strategic Entitlement purchases are key, especially in Deadly Sinner Mode. Each CODE level unlocks new Entitlements and operations.
Consult your Accessory in your cell by selecting "Check CODE Upgrade Conditions." This usually requires reaching specific sentence year milestones and unlocking particular Entitlements. Regularly check this menu before spending Entitlement Points to avoid unnecessary resource donations. Donating high-end resources and weapons often provides sufficient points for multiple Entitlements.
CODE level advancement is intrinsically linked to the main story. Completing main story missions and operations, alongside fulfilling the listed upgrade conditions, is essential to pass the CODE exam (a story component). Sometimes, main story progression substitutes for the CODE exam.
Operations are also categorized by CODE level, indicating difficulty. Most operations are completed through story progression, with optional operations available for those needing extra preparation before tackling the next CODE level's missions.
