In Freedom Wars Remastered, each Abductor sports a health bar on its torso, which players can deplete using a variety of combat items and weapons. The game distinguishes between different damage types, each with its unique role in combat. While Light Melee weapons are typically used to sever specific parts of an Abductor's body, Impact Damage plays a crucial role in overall combat strategy.

Mastering Impact Damage can significantly enhance your ability to defeat Abductors swiftly. This guide delves into the mechanics of Impact Damage and offers strategies for leveraging it effectively in Freedom Wars Remastered.

What Does Impact Damage Do In Freedom Wars Remastered?

Impact Damage is primarily associated with Heavy Melee weapons and select Ranged Weapons. When you see a number next to the Impact Damage percentage, it indicates non-elemental damage that amplifies the force of your normal attacks. This boost in force is key to increasing the Abductor's stagger rate. Once the stagger meter reaches its limit, the Abductor will stagger, either falling down or reacting in a specific way, which opens a window for you to inflict substantial damage before it recovers.

The stagger meter remains invisible, so an Abductor can stagger unexpectedly once the threshold is met. This can be both a strategic advantage and a challenge. In offline mode, you can prepare a powerful attack to land while the Abductor is staggered. However, in online play, staggering can disrupt your teammates' attack patterns. Certain Abductors, like Ramosa, react uniquely to staggering by moving backward, which can complicate landing precise binds or hits.

How To Increase Stagger Damage In Freedom Wars Remastered

To boost Stagger Damage, you'll need to unlock the Weapon Development Facility. This facility is your gateway to crafting and customizing gear, offering numerous enhancement options. Navigate to the Manufacture Modules section to craft a module using resources like Glassy Carbon, which you can gather from various Basic Operations. You can also use the Synthesise Modules feature to combine multiple modules of the same type, thereby upgrading their effectiveness. Once crafted, attach the Stagger Damage Up Module to your weapon to enhance its Impact Damage, thereby improving your capacity to stagger Abductors in combat.

Given that Impact Damage is non-elemental, prioritizing physical damage upgrades over elemental ones will maximize your stagger potential. This makes the Stagger Damage Up Module particularly beneficial for players wielding heavy melee or specific ranged weapons that are inherently effective at building stagger.
