X's weaponry

This article lists the various weapons used by Mega Man X in the games he appears in.

Variable Weapons System and X-Buster

X, in firing pose.

Developed by Dr. Light in accordance for X's system, the Variable Weapons System is integrated into X's X-Buster (aka, the Mega Buster Mk. 17), and is very similar to Mega Man's Variable Weapons System, allowing him to use Special Weapons. X's buster system has the potential to become far more powerful in the fact that its weapon capabilities are theoretically infinite. The Arm Parts from X's armors unlock some of this potential by allowing X to charge the weapons obtained from enemies. Many other attacks are provided from the various armor's Arm Parts.

• After Zero was damaged in Mega Man X3 and again at the end of Mega Man X5, X was given the Z-Saber.

List of Special Weapons

Mega Man X/Mega Man Maverick Hunter X

Graphic	Weapon	Maverick	Normal Attack	Charged Version
	Shotgun Ice (ショットガンアイス)	Chill Penguin (Icy Penguigo)	Fires a shard of ice that can freeze and/or damage a target. Upon collision, smaller shards will be fanned out in the opposite direction.	Creates a sled composed of ice shaped like Chill Penguin. X can stand upon this sled and ride it for a short period of time. In MHX, the sled produced is only a simple flat piece of ice with a sharp point in front which works just like the classic version.
	Electric Spark (エレクトリックスパーク)	Spark Mandrill (Spark Mandriller)	Fires electrically-charged spheres that dissipate upon contact with enemies; if a sphere hits a wall, it splits in two, and the two charges then run along the wall.	In X1, two walls of energy are released behind and in front of X. In MHX, an enormous wave of electric energy is emitted in all directions from X that can destroy all enemies present.
	Rolling Shield (ローリングシールド)	Armored Armadillo (Armor Armage)	A spherical ball of energy the size of X is fired. This shot will roll along the ground until it hits an enemy and dissipates, or bounces off of a wall and dissipates on collision with a second.	A shield will surround X, until it is destroyed by heavy contact. The power of the shield has been increased in MHX as it now resists more enemies with higher defenses.  Note: In MHX, X can switch weapons while the charged Rolling Shield is active, but won't be able to fire the normal version of this weapon.*
	Homing Torpedo (ホーミングトーピード)	Launch Octopus (Launcher Octopuld)	Fires small rockets that home in on enemies, detonating on contact.	Releases six larger fish-shaped missiles in a fanned-out manner. Note: Is spelled mistakenly as 'Horming Torpedo' in the original Mega Man X game, which has been corrected in Maverick Hunter X. The color scheme of X's Armor in MHX changes from dark green to gray when X uses this weapon.*
	Boomerang Cutter (ブーメランカッター)	Boomer Kuwanger (Boomer Kuwanger)	Similar to Cut Man's Rolling Cutter attack, the Boomerang Cutter fires a blade resembling Boomerang Kuwanger's horns. It can cut objects like Launch Octopus's tentacles and Flame Mammoth's trunk, as well as retrieve items that would otherwise be out of reach. If a cutter returns unscathed, the energy used to create it will be returned. This attack also appears in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. A boomerang is thrown upwards first and returns in a clockwise motion. It will not disappear when blocked. When hit, it will do multiple hits and drag the opponent closer to Mega Man X for a combo setup. To perform it, motion Down-Back + Kick. Also, X throws a barrage of them in his Special Weapons Rush (S.W.R.) Level 1 Super, performed by motion Down-Forward and Punch+Kick.	Eight larger cutters will surround X in a pattern before dissipating. In MHX, the number of large boomerangs is reduced to four but each of them will be double in size.
	Chameleon Sting (カメレオンスティング)	Sting Chameleon (Sting Chameleao)	Fires a bolt of energy forwards that splits into three bolts just after being fired; these smaller bolts travel up-forwards, forwards, and down-forwards respectively. In MHX, X simply shoots out the three bolts from the X-Buster directly and its firing angle can be adjusted upwards or downwards and is slightly faster.	X flashes in various colors of the rainbow and is temporarily able to walk through enemies and many other hazards without taking damage. Note: In MHX, X can switch weapons while the charged Chameleon Sting is active, and is able to fire the Normal Version of this weapon even when the Charged Version is active.*
	Storm Tornado (ストームトルネード)	Storm Eagle (Storm Eagleed)	Fires a horizontal cyclone of air which can strike enemies multiple times. In MHX, the length of the cyclone that can attack enemies is halved, allowing for more attempts at a specific time frame.	Creates a massive upward tornado that more or less annihilates everything in its path. In the original game, the tornado is generated exactly at the point where X stands, while in MHX, it is released a short distance forward.
	Fire Wave (ファイヤーウェーブ)	Flame Mammoth (Burnin' Noumander)	Releases a constant stream of flames that continues as long as the attack button is held down. Doesn't work underwater.	Shoots out a fireball that creates a wave of flames when it hits solid ground and travels a short distance until it reaches a wall or the end of the solid ground. Note: Since the uncharged Fire Wave is continuous, weapon energy will be wasted to allow use of the charged attack. Color scheme of X's Armor in MHX changes from orange to red.*

Mega Man X2

Graphic	Weapon	Maverick	Normal Version	Charged Attack
	Sonic Slicer (ソニックスライサー)	Overdrive Ostrich (Sonic Ostreague)	Fires two blades of energy which reflect off of walls, ceilings, and obstacles. These blades can ricochet a great number of times before disappearing, but the angle of reflection increases on every hit, and it's different for each of them. Once the blades reach the sky or an enemy, they disappear. This attack also appears in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite as a 30 degree anti-air. To perform it, motion Down-Back + Punch. Also, X throws a barrage of them in his Special Weapons Rush (S.W.R.) Level 1 Super, performed by motion Down-Forward and Punch+Kick.	Five energy blades are fired into the air, then fall back down.
	Strike Chain (ストライクチェーン)	Wire Sponge (Wire Hetimarl)	Quickly releases a chain with a hook on its end. The hook can grasp to walls to pull X towards said wall, or grasp and bring back items.	A longer chain is released. Enemies destroyed by this chain will result in energy pickups.
	Spin Wheel (スピンホイール)	Wheel Gator (Wheel Alligates)	Fires a saw-like disc which crawls along surfaces. Can destroy some terrain and specific blocks.	A large Spin Wheel is released and it immediately turns into eight energy bolts which fire in all directions.
	Bubble Splash (バブルスプラッシュ)	Bubble Crab (Bubbly Crablos)	A string of bubbles are released, and pop on contact with any object.	A barrier composed of bubbles surrounds X. Although enemies will be damaged on contact, weapon energy is constantly consumed by the shield. When used underwater, jumping height is further increased. Note: Since the uncharged Bubble Splash is continuous, weapon energy will be wasted to allow use of the charged attack.*
	Speed Burner (ラッシングバーナー, Rushing Burner)	Flame Stag (Flame Stagger)	A pair of fireballs that spin around each other are shot. Traces of damaging flames will appear if this weapon is fired on the ground. When used underwater, only two non-flaming drones are shot; they do little damage.	Surrounded by flames, X can air dash, slightly longer than Second Armor's air dash. Can be used after the latter (or vice-versa) for further reach.
	Silk Shot (スクラップシュート, Scrap Shoot)	Morph Moth (Metamor Mothmeanos)	Launches hunks of garbage. This weapon's behavior and power vary from stage to stage, but the most common form is a chunk of scrap metal that arcs downward and explodes into diagonal shrapnel.	X's buster attracts a huge mass of junk, creating a large block that shields him slightly. Releasing the button fires the mass of junk as a makeshift projectile. When charged up in certain unmarked rooms, it will instead pull a bunch of energy or weapon capsules out of the walls for X to collect.
	Magnet Mine (マグネットマイン)	Magna Centipede (Magne Hyakulegger)	Releases a mine that travels horizontally at a constant rate, and can be controlled vertically. It will detonate immediately on contact with an enemy, or after a short time upon contact with a wall.	A miniature black hole is unleashed; it is controlled in the same fashion as the uncharged version, with the exception of being able to go through walls/obstacles. It can increase in size if it absorbs enough of a certain range of objects.
	Crystal Hunter (クリスタルハンター)	Crystal Snail (Cristar Mymine)	Fires a drop of liquid which crystallizes enemies on contact. The encased enemy can be destroyed by jumping on it, similar to performing a wall kick, or by dashing through it. It can also be used as a platform to access other areas. A weapon capsule will be obtained from destroying the crystallized enemy.	The screen will shake and distort time for a short period of time, then all actions on screen are slowed down for a while.

Mega Man X3

Graphic	Weapon	Maverick	Normal Version	Charged Attack
	Acid Burst (アシッドラッシュ, Acid Rush)	Toxic Seahorse (Acid Seaforce)	Fires a glob of acid that splashes on contact.	Two Acid Bursts are shot, but they bounce multiple times along the floor.
	Tornado Fang (トルネードファング)	Tunnel Rhino (Screw Masaider)	Up to three drills can be fired in a column formation, to cause damage to up to three different enemies at the same time.	A large spinning drill is created on the end of the X-Buster. It can be used to attach onto a wall, and will be lost after air dashing.
	Triad Thunder (トライアードサンダー)	Volt Catfish (Electro Namazuros)	Three dynamos will appear around X, passing thunder around in a triangle pattern, and then firing off in three directions. Continuously pressing the weapon fire button will invert the dynamos, prolonging the effect to three more times before the thunder will leave.	X will punch the ground, causing all grounded enemies to take damage. Two thunder bolts will then follow the ground in front of and behind X, causing damage on contact. X must be on the ground to use this weapon.
	Spinning Blade (スピニングブレード)	Crush Crawfish (Scissors Shrimper)	Fires two saw-like blades in front of X that curve back in an arc.	A giant spinning saw held by an energy line is released. It will stop after a period of time, or after X spins it in a whole circle.
	Ray Splasher (レイスプラッシャー)	Neon Tiger (Shining Tigerd)	Scatters small bolts of energy in a spread-out manner.	X releases a small ball that will continually spray small bolts of energy in all directions.
	Gravity Well (バグホール, Bug Hole)	Gravity Beetle (Gravity Beetbood)	Releases a ball that creates a high-gravity zone. Surrounding enemies are crushed by junk attracted to the ball.	X fires releases a Gravity Well upward, generating a black hole. After a short time, the black hole settles in place and lifts enemies up towards it, partially similar to Rock's (and Gravity Man's) Gravity Hold.
	Parasitic Bomb (パラスティックボム)	Blast Hornet (Explose Horneck)	Fires an explosive charge that can attach itself to an enemy, stunning it. Large enemies are only stunned, whereas small enemies are stunned and then flown to the nearest enemy to achieve double damage.	Four crosshairs appear around X and seek enemies. After targeting an enemy, a mini bee will home in on the target and attack it.
	Frost Shield (フロストシールド)	Blizzard Buffalo (Frozen Buffalio)	Ice darts are fired, and upon contact, turn into three-pointed shards that attach to the floor. The darts are bigger when fired underwater. This attack also appears in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. An Ice Shard will fire upwards temporarily and them move downwards 30 degrees. The move will freeze the opponent. To perform it, motion Down-Forward +Kick.	A large ice shield is produced at the end of the X-Buster. After a period of time, it will detach and slide along the ground. If detached underwater, it becomes an object that X can ride to the water's surface.

Mega Man X4

Graphic	Weapon	Maverick	Normal Version	Charged Attack
	Lightning Web (ライトニングウェブ)	Web Spider (Web Spidus)	Fires an electrically-charged spider net that stuns enemies. Can be used for a wall jump.	Fires a single web, which networks out to another eight, causing damage to multiple enemies.
	Soul Body (ソウルボディ)	Split Mushroom	Creates a shining ghost-like 'silhouette' of X in front of him. Disappears after a short period of time, or after taking enough damage.

	Double Cyclone (ダブルサイクロン)	Storm Owl (Storm Fukuroul)	Two spheres of energy which curve upward are released.	X releases two cyclones in both horizontal directions.
	Rising Fire (ライジングファイア)	Magma Dragoon (Magmard Dragoon)	X shoots an upwards fireball. This attack also appears in Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite. X shoots a fireball directly upwards. To perform it, tap Down, Down + Kick.	X unleashes a rising uppercut, similar to that of the Shouryuken, releasing the fireball at the end of the uppercut.
	Frost Tower (フロストタワー)	Frost Walrus (Frost Kibatodos)	Creates a giant block of ice around X, that protects him from enemies.	Large ice shards fall from the top of the screen, in a pattern of one, two, three and four crystals.
	Ground Hunter (グランドハンター)	Jet Stingray (Jet Stingren)	Fires a small drone that travels on the ground. If in midair, pressing down will make the drone go down to the ground instantly.	A larger drone is released in a straight line that fires energy bolts when up or down is pressed.

Mega Man X: Command Mission

X has access to a various range of Buster weapons, but doesn't obtain them from enemies directly. Instead, he can find or buy buster parts that he can then equip.

• X Buster - Better versions of X's trademark weapon (X-Busters MKII and MKIII) are available during the progression of the game. X fires a Buster Shot with them.
• Guard Buster (ガードバスター) - This buster has decent power, but mainly increases X's Defense Stats. It fires a Buster Shot.
• Scope Buster - This buster's Marker Shot has a high chance of striking a critical hit.
• Limit Buster - Although the Limit Buster is reliable, its Justice Shot has a rare chance of dealing a finishing blow to an enemy, making it useful for triggering Final Strikes.
• Fire, Ice and Thunder Buster (ファイア/アイス/サンダーバスター) - These Busters are embedded with elemental strengths which prove useful against certain enemies. Their stat ranges are almost identical. Each one fires an elemental Buster Shot.
• Gatling Buster - This weapon fires an eight-shot round of bullets. The bullets have a 30% less chance of hitting.
• Aero Buster - This Buster has a higher chance of striking Air Units.
• Brave Buster - The Brave Buster has the ability of striking more damage after X has taken damage himself, similar to the Mega Man Battle Network series' Muramasa.
• Turbo Buster - The Turbo Buster puts a large amount of energy into a Quick Charge, and deals more damage if X's WE is high.
