In Freedom Wars Remastered, every action you take is geared towards reducing your staggering one million-year sentence, which you received simply for being born. As you work tirelessly to shorten your prison term, you're also focused on boosting your CODE level to enhance your life as a sinner.
Your CODE level is crucial as it unlocks more Entitlements, which can significantly ease your gameplay. These Entitlements might allow you to run longer or upgrade your comrades and gear, making battles against Abductors much more manageable. Let's dive into the specifics of how many CODE levels you'll be navigating.
In Freedom Wars Remastered, there are a total of eight CODE levels for players to progress through. Once you elevate your CODE level, there's no going back, so you don't have to worry about inadvertently increasing your prison sentence beyond what's necessary for your current CODE, especially when playing on Deadly Sinner Mode. Each time you advance your CODE level, you unlock more Entitlements to purchase and gain access to additional operations to tackle.
To check the conditions for upgrading your CODE level, simply talk to your Accessory in your cell and select "Check CODE Upgrade Conditions". Typically, you'll need to reach certain milestones in your prison sentence and unlock specific Entitlements. It's wise to review this menu regularly from your cell to avoid spending all your Entitlement Points on less beneficial upgrades, as you might need to donate resources to acquire more points later.
Donating just one high-end resource or weapon can often provide enough points for numerous Entitlements.
While meeting all the listed conditions is essential for ranking up your CODE, your current CODE level is also intricately linked to the main storyline. You must complete main story missions and operations, alongside fulfilling those conditions, to pass the CODE exam, which is integrated into the story. Sometimes, the main story itself serves as a substitute for the CODE exam, helping you reach the next level.
Operations are categorized by CODE levels, which generally indicate their difficulty. You'll complete most operations as you progress through the story of a CODE, though occasionally, a few optional operations will become available after you advance. These can be particularly helpful for those who might not feel fully prepared for the challenges of their new CODE level.
