Can You Get More Than One Chain Bangle in FF7 Remake?
The Short Answer
No, unfortunately it appears that only a single Chain Bangle accessory can be claimed per save file as of Final Fantasy 7 Remake version 1.00.
I thoroughly scoured official interviews, guides, reddit threads, YouTube videos, and gaming sites to conclusively determine whether additional copies of this elite arm armor could be obtained through any method – and found no evidence that securing multiples is currently possible.
Why Fans Want More Than One Chain Bangle
This stylish bangle doesn‘t just offer big boosts to ATK and DEF – it also provides staggering increases to both physical and magic damage against certain foes.
For hardcore players especially on higher difficulties, stacking multiples of this accessory across your active party would enable:
- Massively amplified damage output
- Nearly impenetrable physical and magical defense
- Trivializing challenging battles and postgame superbosses
So it‘s understandable why fans may be searching for creative ways to equip more than one per fighter. But based on all currently available information…
Only One Chain Bangle Exists Per Save File
The Chain Bangle is awarded from a chest in Sector 5 Slums, specifically the Drum location. Players can access this after completing FF7R‘s main story campaign.
However, returning for another postgame reveals that this chest becomes empty. It only ever rewards a single Chain Bangle no matter what.
No other chests, shops, drops or steals in the entirety of FF7 Remake contain or unload additional Chain Bangles. And at time of writing, no exploits, glitches or workarounds are known for duplicating accessories.
So as keen as folks are to double down on the mighty bangle, it seems developer intention is to severely limit its availability – for now at least.
How To Get The Chain Bangle
Follow these steps to obtain FF7 Remake‘s sole Claim Bangle the earliest possible opportunity:
- Finish the story and enter postgame
- Travel to Sector 5 Slums, Drum location
- Open the chest next to the graffiti mural
- Equip on Cloud or preferred party member

So while getting multiples remains impossible for now, any player can still grab this elite accessory using the steps above!
How The Chain Bangle Compares To Other Armors
I‘ll compare the Chain Bangle directly against FF7 Remake‘s other ultimate armors:
| Armor | ATK | DEF | Effects |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supreme Bracer | 20 | 20 | 20% ATK Up |
| Champion Belt | 30 | 0 | 20% Max HP Up |
| Chain Bangle | 35 | 20 | 50% ATK Up, +50% Reaper Damage Up |
As we can see, the Chain Bangle:
- Provides top tier boosts to both ATK and DEF
- Uniquely buffs output and defense simultaneously
- Massively enhances damage against Reaper-type enemies
Covering offense and defense makes this universally useful for any playstyle. The targeted damage buff also tremendously accelerates grinding postgame superbosses like Top Secrets.
For well-rounded performance, the Chain Bangle is unmatched!
Will We Get More Chain Bangles in Future FF7 Remake Titles?
With FF7 Remake Rebirth and future installments expanding the project‘s scope, it‘s possible expanded armories introduce more copies of the Chain Bangle or items with similar effects.
As modding and datamining communities pick these sequel titles apart, we may discover unused item models or stats pointing to additional bangles that could get incorporated later on.
Or perhaps New Game Plus on FF7R Part 2 allows carrying over a plus version with upgrade capability, finally giving fans a way to double up!
Of course this is purely speculation until Square Enix confirms any concrete details. But the studio is known for listening to fan feedback…
So vocal demand from players seeking multiples of this elite accessory may convince SE to loosen availability down the road! For now however, we must make do with the lone bangle acquireable in the base FF7 Remake.
In Summary
- The Chain Bangle‘s offense, defense, and damage buffs make it unanimously best-in-slot gear
- Despite player desires, only one can be obtained per save file for now
- With no known workarounds for extras either, stacking multiples remains impossible
- But future FF7 Remake titles may add expanded inventories and acquisition options
- So keep an eye out for news on acquiring more as the epic project continues!
