Gravity Well, known as Bug Hole (バグホール Bagu Hōru) in Japan, is the Special Weapon that X obtains from Gravity Beetle in Mega Man X3. With this weapon equipped, X has a pink and pale yellow variation of his usual armor, and can release a floating ball in front of him that creates a high-gravity zone. Surrounding enemies are crushed by the gravitational force of the ball. These balls are grey with a dark purple spherical aura in their vicinity. When charged, X releases a Gravity Well upward, only this time with a black hole generated. Once in the sky, it lifts enemies up towards it. Gravity Wells will stop working a few seconds following their deployment.
For his version of the attack, Gravity Beetle will throw two blue glowing balls that bounce around his room.
Gravity Well is Blast Hornet's weakness; he is the only boss that takes damage from this weapon, and will fall onto the floor of his arena after the charged version of the attack concludes.

Trivia[]
- X is semi-invincible during the charged Gravity Well's duration. Certain enemy attacks will go right through X without harming him, while others, such as energy orbs, will shock him out of his pose and cause damage. Spikes will still kill X instantly during this attack.
- The charged Gravity Well can be used to lift certain objects, most notably a piece of machinery in Volt Catfish's stage that leads to the Armor enhancement.
- X is unable to fire a charged Gravity Well if a previous uncharged shot remains on-screen.
- Bug Hole was misnamed as Bug Ball (バグボール Bagu Bōru) on its Mega Armor figure and the 10" Jazwares figure.
