Mastering the Flare Knife in Freedom Wars Remastered

Freedom Wars Remastered throws players into intense battles against formidable Abductors. To conquer these towering foes, utilizing the right tools is crucial. The Flare Knife is a valuable asset, offering a unique approach to combat. This guide details how to obtain and effectively use this combat item.

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 range of items, including the Flare Knife, purchasable for 3,000 Entitlement Points.

Equipping the Flare Knife is straightforward. Navigate to the Loadout menu within the Personal Responsibility Portal and select an available Combat Item slot. The Flare Knife will be listed among your owned items, ready for deployment.

Utilizing the Flare Knife in Battle

The Flare Knife's primary function is severing Abductor limbs. This makes it a valuable tool for players favoring Polearms or Heavy Melee weapons, providing a means to sever limbs without relying on Light Melee options. However, remember it's a single-use item; repurchase is necessary for each operation.

To employ the Flare Knife, target the severable Abductor part and use your Thorn to grapple onto it. With the Flare Knife equipped, a severing option will appear. A quick-time event (QTE) will initiate, requiring rapid button presses to successfully sever the limb. Be aware that the Abductor may attempt disruptive maneuvers, such as leaping or crashing into walls.

Cooperative play enhances the Flare Knife's effectiveness. Teammates can repeatedly snare the Abductor, creating more opportunities for successful severing attempts.
