In FF7 Rebirth, like in many other JRPGs, there are lots of weapons for you to find and use as you go through the game. These weapons are grouped into categories and can only be used by specific characters. In this guide, we’ll show you where to find these FF7 Rebirth weapon locations. This will help you pick the ones that fit your playstyle and help you tackle tougher enemies as you progress.
FF7 Rebirth Barret Weapons
First, it’s important to note that you’ll start the game with some weapons already in your inventory. These are part of your basic set of weapons. However, most weapons need to be found by completing different tasks. Also, remember that each character can only use their own set of weapons. For instance, Barret can’t use Cloud’s weapons, and vice versa. In this guide, we’ll focus on Barret’s weapons.
Gatling Gun
How to get it: At the beginning of Chapter 2, Barret will automatically have the Gatling Gun in his inventory and be using it.
Hi-Caliber Rifle
How to get it: To get the Hi-Caliber Rifle, open a chest with purple lights on the northeast shoreline of a big island in the Grasslands swamp. You can find it after finishing Chapter 2, Break the Saddle. Just go south from the Abandoned Dock to reach it.
Barrage Blaster
How to get it: To find the Barrage Blaster, open a wooden chest with purple lights near the cliff’s edge in the Railway Control Tower – 1F room on the Ground Level of the Coal Mines. You can get there during Chapter 7, Leaving the Reactor Behind, while following the Continue Your Search step.
Vulcan Cannon
How to get it: To find the Vulcan Cannon, open a wooden chest with purple lights near a wrecked vehicle and two Sandhog enemies at the northeast end of the Scrapyard Prison Cell in the Corel Desert. You can get there once you start Chapter 8, called Prisoner, which takes you straight to the Scrapyard Prison Cell.
