Freedom Wars new trailer showcases six weapon classes, and details about their function in the game. The details on the weapons were revealed in the updated official website of the game, and as you saw in the trailer, players will have an idea on what each weapon can do, and how are they effective against any type of enemy in the game.
In Freedom Wars, players can equip two weapons and pick up dropped weapons from fallen enemies while AI chracters can only hold one. A list of six weapons and there functions is shown below courtesy of Siliconera.
a) Light Sword: Consecutive attacks with little opportunity for enemies to attack. Allows you to dislocate joints.
b) Great Sword: Great Swords allow you to charge up for either a light or heavy attack; however, with this weapon, you'll find enemies have more opportunities to attack you. On the plus side, you can change the direction of your attack while charging up a light attack. Tachis and Hammer-type weapons are included in this category.
c) Spear: These enable you to attack enemies either head on or from behind. When you're in a critical state, your attack power increases. Spears allow you to charge up for light attacks, too.
d) Personal Equipment Firearms: Compact firearms that allow you to fire rapidly. Additionally, you will also be able to attack while using the whip you've seen in the different trailers for the game.
e) Multi-Purpose Firearms: Lower capacity, but higher thermal power.
f) Team Support Firearms: Excellent attack power and support abilities, but low mobility. Low capacity like Multi-Purpose Firearms. This category of weapons includes laser guns, gatling guns and even net guns.
Weapons will have rarity levels, with there being differences between even the performances of weapons with the same rarity. Certain weapons also have a "modular" effect, although I'm not certain just what this means.
Freedom Wars is a video game exclusive for the PS Vita, and it is currently being developed SCE Japan Studio. The game will release in Japan on June 26, and the western release will be planned this year.
