I am Code 8! I had done everything up until unlocking 7-3 pretty much, then just jumped online and did a quick search which tossed me into a group doing 7-5. Had no idea what I was doing, but we made it out with just 2 lives left... whew! COMPLETELY didn't realize that I would get a 'pass' to complete that mission in my story mode, so I did 7-3 and 7-4 and then just used the no fail pass.
Feels great. Now to keep bumping up my Rare 6 guns while I work on creating a Rare 8.

If anyone is (desperately) looking for specific Ultra High Quality materials from Retributions, I currently have the following missions available:
- CP100 x3 Ruined Cable UHQ
- CT101 x6 Ruined Cable/Conductive Coil UHQ
- GO102 x2 Conductive Coil UHQ
- FT103 x3 Processed Graphite UHQ

Got this game and I must say I am very impressed.
The first 'monster hunter-esque' game I've played and I'm having a ton of fun in it. At Code 3 right now.

Would anyone recommend this game to someone who'll be looking to mainly play it in singleplayer mode?
I do and I will admit I'm funding it really easy to get into. I'm CODE 6 almost. This game is good. Really good. It's deep too. And making/upgradibg/modifying weapons is fun.
Just wanted to say that there is an IRC channel @Rizon for FW, if any of you want to join us.

Nope just costumes.
It had got patches with new features, that's about it.
Stickers, tracks and accessories..
No one cares about stickers.
I felt like he meant content like new monsters and stages but eh.

I wish. Granted Toukiden didn't really either, but at least it had paid content that was new levels and weapons/armor. Here the paid content is costumes, songs, some gear. I remember the blog stating there was weeks of free content coming and I had hoped for soul sacrifice style content but instead its just consumables.
Uhh, so I upgraded my rare 5 Barby once more. The thing went from 800ish to 1000 something. I didn't think it would make that much of a difference. I was so very wrong. :\
I managed to get a LB Rare 8 Barby but I'm not sure I can even be bothered trying to upgrade it.
I still can't do retributions alone either. :\ And Mr Chains is still an asshole. Previous asshole spider bot is not so much of an issue now. Not even with a Ramosa thing running wild near by.

Before building a good weapon, the retribution missions looked impossible alone.
Now that all my AI partners are lv10 and I have a decent Barbara+7 I was able to clear 105 in 15 minutes and without falling even once.
It's amazing how much reward you get when you upgrade your weapon properly.
iirc it's from breaking the hands of the elemental abductors, but check this spredsheet. It got a tab listing abductor drops (and several other useful tabs).
4-4, CODE 5 Exam, or 4-7.
I'd suggest 4-7 since the Heat-Resistant abductor will spawn right at the start in sector B2. Also, 4-7 is probably faster to finish and you get to keep some civilians. Alternatively, in 4-4 it's in the second out of four waves. CODE 5 Exam has few (3?) waves with Sinners before abductors spawn.
The plating can drop from the hands, some suggest the ring around its neck too. Cut/shoot off the hands, not the arm. Good luck!
So uh, I guess I own Freedom Wars now. One of my Vita friends just messaged me a code and told me to "try it out 
" so I registered it and it turned out to be Freedom Wars.
Now I have to get him a Christmas present.
Anyone got any beginner tips? Not sure how much time I want to put into this seeing as I'm also getting into Soul Sacrifice Delta, but I figure I want to at least beat the story mode.
EDIT: Also on a less related note, if I wanted to purchase a digital Vita game code, where would I go?

I want to like this game.. but there is so much in between that gets in the way of playing it. lots of text, lots of go here to do store, and storytelling attached to it. Now i understand they want some immersion, and as a big Monster Hunter fan kinda just want to tackle tasks without the hassle of story getting in the way.
Its more about do missions, get rare parts, make better armor and so on.
Does this get better? last thing i did was open level 3 i think. So more places opened in the HUB. I want to be hyped and convinced to put the time to start enjoying it.

Amazon or gamestop.com
Play online. That's what you want to do. No hassle (other than hoping your connection holds up) no waiting (unless the game fails to load)
Did you unlock quick travel?
Is it pretty stable? do i need to do any prepping to go online? i am sure my internet connection should be fine, since i played the other MH clone game.. i forgot the name.
I don't think so. Last unlock i did was to be able to run like 10 seconds. or i get penalized for anything more. so annoying.
As long as you play within your region, you wont have any problems.
Dont run for long until you get the entitlement. Press Square to quick travel.
I've played with people from all over the world in the last few days and I didn't have any issue. I was pretty surprised by that since I think I read some people complaining about lag or something. Is it the new update?
The new update does have loading stability when connecting to room.
Hadnt had problem with that after recent patch.
Or could be that im lucky with room im joining.
Lag still there though.
Does anyone have the red rage retribution ?
You'll unlock it soon and it will make the game feel extremely better since you can teleport to the story sections.

I'm thinking of getting this game - is it worth $30 or should I get it on sale?
Ok I hope this isn't a stupid question, but it is something I am not 100% clear on. I hit Code 8 using a Rare 6 weapon upgraded to its first Impact Advanced version. So Rare 6, Impact, Level 1. So if I upgrade it now, BEFORE tweaking its 25/25/25/25 Elements (my goal) is that bad?
I am a little confused by this line in the guide I am using:
Where am I theoretically going to go Advanced AGAIN if I am already Impact. Do you go 1 to 5, to Impact to 1 to 5 to Advanced Ele?
Does any of this make sense? Does where I am getting confused make sense? Sorry... chances are I will make my self a Rare 8 LB soon anyway and start all over again -.-

Same, I've played with people outside the US that had better connections. It all just depends on the host. At least I've had great luck as long as I've joined rooms with max bars. Haven't been able to play much after the new update, so I can't comment on that.
It is worth 30 bucks. More than enough content for the budget pricing.
But of course, it will be even better with a sale.
One of the surprises of the year for me personally. Enjoyed it more than I should, despite a dodgy beginning.
I'm up to the CODE 6 exam and had a few questions for you guys.
Should I be manufacturing and upgrading weapons as much as possible at this point? I feel like I'm a little behind in terms of power, as I haven't been doing much of that, although I just tried to go to an advanced model and didn't have any of the resources to upgrade. Any recommendations for weapons at this point?
Also, I noticed I didn't have the trophy for severing an abductor component (which 78% of people do have), and feel like I might be missing something fairly core to the gameplay which is maybe why I'm having some trouble LOL
Is severing limited to special items like Flare Knives, or will melee weapons work, and should I be seeing a prompt or doing something special to make this happen?

A weapon can be upgraded to its Advanced variant only once. In other words, the Advanced variant you choose is permanent. In your case you chose the 'Impact' variant, for example Barbara's Easy Blaster P. You can only upgrade it to level 10, not change it into an elemental variant anymore.
Apart from 'wasted' resources, it's suggested to upgrade to an Advanced model asap for the following reasons:
- Advanced models have higher stats, ergo are better;
- Advanced models can have 100 elemental points, non-advanced only 50;
- Advanced Impact variant can introduce Impact/Stagger to a weapon that doesn't have it initially;
- Advanced variants come in pretty colours with exotic names.
- The "DIY Demon" trophy (upgrade a weapon to level 10) may be easier/faster to obtain, depending on the weapon and your available resources. It most likely reduces the amount of time spent trying to obtain rare materials needed for levels 8-10.
- 'Cosplaying' as your favourite AI Comrade with their appropriate weapon set. I'm talking about Nina and Shizuka of course.

You will need to continue upgrading to make the upcoming missions easier, but there's no real need to manufacture now since you can't manufacture rarity 8 weapons until you beat the game. Upgrade the highest rarity weapons you find for the time being.
For melee, use whatever has either the highest damage or the highest critical chance in each category. For example, that would be Damascus Knife or Hawkshadow for light melee weapons. For guns, Katzes are good for most situations, but you'll want to have a good Barbara for abductor fights.
Flare knives are just a substitute for light melee weapons, which are much more efficient for severing. To sever, use your thorn to climb onto a severable body part (anything highlighted in red or blue) and start mashing O until the gauge is filled. You will get more materials for upgrading if you sever as many parts as possible before the abductor dies.
Thanks! Feel like I skipped through a tutorial or something but at least the game hasn't become less enjoyable because I'm lost heh
Thank you People! I think I understand now, and I understand where I was confused. I am already sitting on a level 1 Advanced Rare 6 weapon. I COULD have upgraded it to level 6+ and not Impact. I didn't. So now I should definitely upgrade it. Thank you!
I think the wording in that guide was a little misleading as the comment about wasted resources was made after the suggestion that you upgrade to Impact and add Elements via fodder. So I assumed it was still taking that in to consideration with the advice that then came next. NOPE! Got it. Thank you for clearing that up.

It's relatively easy once you use the area to your advantage.
When the chains are attacking just go to the entrance, they can't hit you under there unless they start shooting.
Also, they come out in this order: (from the front)
2 3 2
3 X 3
2 1 1
So destroy the boxes accordingly and don't make them respawn.

And Prioritize Revival, yes.
Tried the whole order thing, by the time i got one tail off, half of his life was gone and they all came loose T_T

I am discovering the grand joys have accidentally pissing off three abductors as the same time during a Citizen Rescue mission while human enemies are after me as well.
Oh well, use the entrance trick anyway. Even if they're going nuts you're mostly (of completely if you use charge 2 defence thorn) safe and you can shoot them down.
Good times.
I haven't played this in a while, and this song still haunts my dreams sometimes.

ABDUCTOR'S ATTACKS ARE INTENSIFYING!
RESCUE YOUR ACCESSORY!
ABDUCTOR HAS CAPTURED YOUR ACCESSORY! SAVE IT!
MAKE IT STOP!
Question. If I didn't really enjoy Soul Sacrifice due to finding battling boss after boss with no exploration or any other kind of gameplay mindless and boring, would I enjoy this? Or is it similar to Soul Sacrifice in that it's just a series of fights with bosses with no actual gameplay in between?
When I hear this song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ikSrbnk1qk
during a special operation I know its going to be a pain in the ass.
