All 49 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth Weapons: Locations by Chapter
A complete chapter-by-chapter checklist of all 49 Final Fantasy VII Rebirth weapons, their abilities, precise locations and optional unlock requirements.
There are 49 weapons to collect across Cloud, Tifa, Barret, Aerith, Red XIII, Yuffie and Cait Sith in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth. This chapter-by-chapter checklist gives each weapon’s ability and acquisition route, including optional quests and minigames. Most are in purple chests; a few are starting equipment or rewards for optional activities. Weapons also unlock abilities: equip a weapon and set materia to use its ability in battle, spending ATB charges, as Square Enix explains.
How to use this weapon checklist
Follow the chapters in order for a route through the story, or scan the character column to find a particular party member’s equipment. “Starting” means the weapon is already in the character’s inventory when they begin or join; it does not require searching for a chest. Chapter labels around Costa del Sol and some character join points vary between guides, so the named location or activity is the more reliable reference when those labels differ.
These are initial loadout weapons, not pickups to hunt down in a chest. The guides differ slightly in how they assign starting gear to chapters, so check the character’s inventory rather than relying on a chapter label.

Which weapons require optional content?
Chest locations make up most of the collection, but these weapons are tied to an activity beyond opening a chest or progressing along the main route:
After finishing the story, Chapter Select becomes available. PowerPyx describes Chapter Select and vendors as recovery options, while Polygon specifies that shopkeepers can sell missed chest weapons after the relevant story section. That does not make every item an automatic purchase: quest and minigame rewards still require their associated conditions. If you missed a weapon, first check whether it was a chest pickup or an activity reward, then revisit the corresponding chapter or complete the required activity. See Polygon’s recovery notes for the shopkeeper qualification.
