Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered
Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To conquer these towering foes, strategic weapon choices are crucial. The Flare Knife, a powerful combat item, offers a significant advantage in severing Abductor limbs. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize this valuable tool.
Acquiring 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. This vendor offers a diverse selection of weapons and items, including the Flare Knife, purchasable for 3,000 Entitlement Points. After purchase, equip it via the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal, assigning it to an available Combat Item slot.
Utilizing the Flare Knife in Combat
The Flare Knife's primary function is severing Abductor parts. This makes it a valuable asset for players who prefer Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, bypassing the need for Light Melee weapons to achieve limb severing. However, remember that the Flare Knife is a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for each subsequent Operation.
To employ the Flare Knife, 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 that Abductors may attempt to disrupt the process by leaping or crashing into obstacles.
Cooperative gameplay enhances the Flare Knife's effectiveness. By coordinating with teammates to repeatedly snare the Abductor, severing becomes significantly easier.
