In Final Fantasy 7 Remake, each character can equip six different weapons. You can improve these weapons using skill points (SP) to make them stronger, add materia slots, and unlock helpful bonuses. Each weapon also has a special ability that can only be used while it’s equipped, or learned permanently by leveling up proficiency with it.
Barret leads a group within Avalanche and is a devoted father. He consistently risks his own safety to protect others. As the party’s tank, Barret has a large amount of health and several abilities that make him especially resilient.
Barret excels at long-range combat, especially against flying enemies, using the weapons mounted on his arm. He can also be a powerful close-combat fighter with certain weapons. His special attack changes based on how you play him: he can fire three strong shots in a row (Overcharge), or charge into enemies and slam his weapon down for area damage (Overrun).
Here’s how to get all of Barret’s weapons in Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade.
This Barret weapons guide has been updated for the release of FF7 Remake Intergrade on Switch 2 and Xbox Series X/S. We’ve cleaned it up and added more information to make it easier to use. Originally written by Alisha Raj, it was last updated by Greysun Morales on January 27, 2026.
