- Boosting Stagger Damage in Freedom Wars Remastered
Freedom Wars Remastered displays each Abductor's health bar prominently on its torso. Players utilize diverse weaponry and combat items to deplete this health and secure victory. The game employs various damage types, each with unique mechanics. While Light Melee weapons often target specific body parts, Impact Damage serves a similar strategic purpose.
Mastering Impact Damage significantly enhances Abductor takedown speed. This guide details Impact Damage functionality and its application for rapid Abductor defeats in Freedom Wars Remastered.
What is Impact Damage in Freedom Wars Remastered?
Impact Damage is primarily associated with Heavy Melee weapons and select Ranged Weapons. While a numerical value often accompanies the Impact Damage percentage, this doesn't directly increase your total damage output. Instead, it represents non-elemental damage that boosts the force of your standard attacks, accelerating the Abductor's stagger rate. A full stagger meter results in the Abductor staggering, falling, or exhibiting unique reactions, creating openings for substantial damage before recovery.
Unlike the visible health bar, the stagger meter is hidden, meaning staggering can occur at any point once a certain threshold is reached. This presents both advantages and disadvantages. Offline play allows for charged attacks and maximized damage output. However, online, staggering an Abductor might hinder teammate attacks. Some Abductors react uniquely to staggering; for instance, Ramosa retreats. Precise hits and effective binds become more challenging during these moments.
Boosting Stagger Damage in Freedom Wars Remastered
Increasing Stagger Damage requires unlocking the Weapon Development Facility. This facility enables weapon crafting and customization, offering diverse enhancement options. Utilize the Manufacture Modules feature to create modules using various resources. The Stagger Damage Up Module necessitates Glassy Carbon, a common field resource in Basic Operations. Synthesise Modules allows combining identical modules to enhance their effectiveness. Attaching the crafted module to your weapon boosts Impact Damage, improving your staggering capabilities.
Because Impact Damage is non-elemental, prioritizing physical damage upgrades over elemental enhancements maximizes staggering efficiency.
Modules like Stagger Damage Up are particularly beneficial for users of heavy melee weapons or ranged weapons naturally adept at building stagger.
