In Freedom Wars Remastered, during Operations, you have the flexibility to select three comrades to accompany you, along with your Accessory and their accessories. While you can't directly manage the gear of your comrades, only enhancing their overall equipment, your Accessory offers a unique level of control and customization.
You can issue specific commands to your Accessory and tailor their setup to enhance their combat efficiency. Here's how you can customize your Accessory and select different commands for them.
Customizing your Accessory is straightforward and similar to adjusting your own gear in the Loadout menu. Just below your player settings, you'll find the Accessory option, which opens a similar loadout menu. Your Accessory can equip any weapon you own, along with any compatible Modules for that weapon.
Unlike players, Accessories don't need ammo for gun weapons, making them highly efficient in combat. Additionally, you can equip your Accessory with one combat item of your choice, which they'll use at their discretion. While limited to one weapon and one combat item, the unique commands you can issue to your Accessory set them apart from your comrades.
In the Loadout menu, you can select which set of Orders your Accessory will use. To customize these orders, interact with your Accessory in your cell and select the fifth option from the top, "Customize Accessory." This allows you to create a personalized set of commands. You can expand the number of orders by purchasing the "Right To Assign Orders Entitlements" in the Window of Liberty Interface Entitlements under the Accessory section. Once set, you choose which Order Set to use during Operations, and these cannot be changed mid-operation. The available orders include:
You can issue these orders at any time during an operation by pressing up on the D-pad or the C key on PC. This allows your Accessory to focus on specific tasks while your comrades tackle broader objectives.
Here are the most effective Accessory Orders to equip for optimal performance:
Order | Explanation |
---|---|
Carry Citizen | Use this command to have your Accessory transport citizens between extraction points while you and your comrades engage the enemy. |
Prioritize Revival | In intense battles, this command ensures your Accessory stays close and revives you immediately if you're knocked out. |
Rescue Comrades | Your comrades may fall in combat, but their Thorns make them more effective fighters than your Accessory. |
Use Medical Supplies | Equip your Accessory with First Aid Kits to serve as the team's healer, keeping everyone in the fight. |
While your Accessory can deal significant damage with an upgraded weapon, it's generally more beneficial to arm them with a powerful gun and utilize them as a support unit rather than a frontline combatant.
