Each Abductor in Freedom Wars Remastered boasts a visible health bar on its torso. Players utilize various weapons and combat items to deplete this health and secure victory. The game features diverse damage types, each with unique effects. While light melee weapons often sever specific body parts, Impact Damage plays a similar, strategically crucial role.

Mastering Impact Damage significantly improves Abductor takedown speed. This guide details Impact Damage's function and its effective application in Freedom Wars Remastered.

What Does Impact Damage Do In Freedom Wars Remastered?

Impact Damage primarily affects Heavy Melee weapons and some Ranged Weapons. While you'll see a numerical value alongside the Impact Damage percentage, this doesn't directly increase your overall damage output. Instead, it represents non-elemental damage that boosts the power of your standard attacks, accelerating the Abductor's stagger rate. A full stagger meter results in the Abductor staggering, falling, or exhibiting other reactions, creating a prime opportunity to inflict substantial damage before it recovers.

Unlike the readily visible health bar, the stagger meter is hidden. Staggering can occur at any point once the rate reaches a threshold. This presents both advantages and disadvantages. Offline play allows you to prepare and unleash powerful follow-up attacks. However, in online multiplayer, staggering an Abductor might hinder teammates' attacks. Some Abductors react uniquely to staggering; for instance, Ramosa retreats. Precise attacks become more challenging during this period.

How To Increase Stagger Damage In Freedom Wars Remastered

Increasing Stagger Damage requires unlocking the Weapon Development Facility. This facility allows crafting and customization of gear, offering extensive weapon enhancement options. Within the facility, utilize the Manufacture Modules feature to create modules using various resources. The Stagger Damage Up Module requires Glassy Carbon, a common field resource in many Basic Operations. After gathering the necessary materials, use the Synthesise Modules feature to combine identical modules and upgrade their effectiveness. Attach the crafted module to your weapon to boost its Impact Damage and improve your ability to stagger Abductors.

Because Impact Damage is non-elemental, prioritizing physical damage upgrades over elemental enhancements maximizes staggering efficiency. Modules like Stagger Damage Up are particularly beneficial for users of heavy melee weapons or specific ranged weapons naturally adept at building stagger.
