Facing down the colossal Abductors in Freedom Wars Remastered is a challenge even seasoned Sinners will find daunting. Beyond navigating the Panopticon's holding cells and The Warren, these towering enemies demand strategic combat. Freedom Wars Remastered offers a diverse arsenal, but some tools prove invaluable against these powerful foes. This guide details how to acquire and effectively utilize the Flare Knife against Abductors.
The Flare Knife is an early-game acquisition. Once you achieve Level 003 Code Clearance, visit Zakka in The Warren. Zakka's inventory includes the Flare Knife, available for 3,000 Entitlement Points.
Equipping the Flare Knife is straightforward. Navigate to the Loadout menu in the Personal Responsibility Portal and select an available Combat Item slot. Your Flare Knife will appear in the list if you've purchased it.
The Flare Knife's function is to sever Abductor parts. This is a crucial tool, especially for players who prefer Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, offering a way to sever limbs without relying on Light Melee weapons. However, remember it's a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for each Operation.
To use it, lock onto a severable Abductor part and use your Thorn to grapple. With the Flare Knife equipped, a sever option appears. A quick QTE (Quick Time Event) follows, requiring rapid button mashing. Successful completion severs the limb. Be aware that Abductors may attempt to interrupt the process by leaping or crashing.
Cooperative play offers an advantage. Snare the Abductor repeatedly with teammates to significantly ease the severing process.
