To bolster their combat prowess, players can upgrade weapons and accessories, enhancing base stats and adding modules for various boosts.

This guide details weapon and accessory upgrades in Freedom Wars Remastered.
How To Upgrade Weapons In Freedom Wars Remastered
Weapon upgrades become available upon reaching Level 002 Code Clearance in the main storyline. This unlocks the Facility Management Function accessible through the Personal Responsibility Portal. The Weapon Development Facility allows for weapon management and upgrades, requiring resources and Entitlement Points. Enlisting a Citizen can reduce these upgrade costs, with varying reduction rates depending on their Facility Manager Aptitude. While it might seem complex initially, the process is intuitive in practice.
Before upgrading, a preview screen shows the stat changes. The Weapon Development Facility also facilitates adding Elements, experimenting with Modules, and utilizing Module Slots. To achieve higher weapon Grades, acquire the necessary permits from the Claim Entitlement tab within the Window of Liberty.

Early-game missions often yield limited high-Grade weapon rewards. While Zakka in The Warren sells weapons, these are primarily Grade Level 1, making weapon upgrades practically essential. A CODE 3 Exam requires claiming higher-Grade Development Facility Permits, encouraging weapon upgrades. This allows players to focus on improving a chosen weapon, donating lower-grade weapons for reduced sentences and extra Entitlement Points.
Upgrading unlocks the "In Search of the Strongest Weapon" trophy/achievement, with further achievements tied to the system, appealing to trophy hunters. The substantial damage difference between weapon Grades incentivizes players to invest time in gear improvement.
Finally, the Ability Development Facility, part of Facility Management, unlocks later in the game.
