Freedom Wars Remastered tasks you with reducing your million-year prison sentence while simultaneously boosting your CODE level for a smoother gameplay experience. A higher CODE level unlocks more Entitlements, providing advantages like increased sprinting time and enhanced comrade/gear upgrades, simplifying battles against Abductors. Let's explore the CODE level progression.
Freedom Wars Remastered features a total of eight CODE levels. Progression is linear; you cannot revert to a lower CODE level. Each CODE level unlocks new Entitlements and operations.
To check CODE upgrade requirements, consult your Accessory in your cell by selecting "Check CODE Upgrade Conditions." This typically involves reaching specific prison sentence milestones and unlocking certain Entitlements. Regularly check this menu to avoid wasting Entitlement Points on less crucial upgrades. Donating high-value resources and weapons provides a significant boost to your Entitlement Points.
While fulfilling the listed conditions is essential for CODE rank-ups, your CODE level is intrinsically linked to the main storyline. Completing main story missions and operations, alongside those conditions, is necessary to pass the CODE exam (a story element). Sometimes, the main story itself serves as a substitute for the CODE exam, facilitating progression to the next level.
Operations are categorized by CODE level, reflecting their difficulty. Most operations are completed naturally through story progression, although some optional operations become available to assist players who might need extra preparation before tackling the challenges of a new CODE level.
