The Fafnir Rifle is a fantastic late-game weapon for Barret in Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. It has above-average Attack and Magic Attack stats and, notably, an incredibly powerful ability called Point Blank. This ability consumes all of Barret’s ATB charges to create an immense concussive blast. Using this ability to quickly finish off a weak enemy or to disperse a dense crowd will be key for some of the game’s later fights.
The Fafnir Rifle is rewarded at the end of the “Pursuit of Perfection” Odd Job, available upon entering Gongaga in Chapter 9. The side quest involves finding rare Draconite ore via photographs for an inspired blacksmith to complete his ultimate weapon. Using the pictures to locate the Draconite can be challenging, but players can go straight to the ore’s source without the treasure hunt.
From the Noticeboard, go to Izo’s Smithery in Gongaga on FF7 Rebirth’s map, which will trigger a cutscene. The weaponsmith, Izo, frustrated by his lackluster projects, is inspired to create his masterpiece upon seeing Garrett’s Gun Arm. He offers to build the gun immediately if the party collects ore for him and directs the party to his nearby toolshed for a “map” leading to the needed materials.
When collecting Izo’s map, the party realizes it is actually a series of doodled-on photographs leading to the ore’s location. Ordinarily, this would involve going through each photograph and estimating where on the map they match, but players can instead go directly to where the final photograph was shot. Shown in the image above, the ore vein is to the west of Izo’s smithery, near a set of cliffs overlooking a river.
Upon reaching the large tree in this area, also shown in Izo’s photograph, the party will be ambushed by five Daggerwings. Taking advantage of these enemies’ weakness to Wind or inflicting enough Ionic Charge damage pressures them, allowing players to take care of these flying obstacles swiftly. Barret will briefly admire his Gun Arm, and the party can continue collecting Draconite Ore.
