Mega Man XZ: The Maverick Hunters

Weapons Guide

X will gain a new weapon each time you defeat one of the eight bosses. Each weapon has its own special abilities and are certain bosses' weakness, some can also be used to retrieve certain items that are normally out of reach.

X-Buster X-Buster Gained from: N/A
The X-Buster is the standard weapon of the game and you begin the game with it. It has the normal standard yellow beam which causes light damage to targets.

Charged-up shots will result in a stronger blast. When you find the X-Buster upgrade you will be able to charge up to the purple state and fire off two shots, one after the other, which will cause huge damage to targets.

This is the universal weapon of the game - no matter how strong the bosses are the X-Buster will be able to damage them and be defeated using this weapon.		 X-Buster
The special weapons can only have their secondary fire mode used when X has the weapon-powerup upgrade and can charge his X-Buster until he glows purple.
Strike Chain Strike Chain Boss: Wire Sponge
The Strike Chain is gained once you defeat Wire Sponge. This weapon will fire off a small extended chain which will grab on to walls and items as well as causing damage to targets. X can grab onto a wall and drag himself towards it and can also retrieve items with this weapon.

The charged-up shot will fire out a longer and bigger chain to reach further objects. 		Strike Chain
Spin Wheel Spin Wheel Boss: Wheel Gator
The Spin Wheel is gained once Wheel Gator is defeated. This weapon will fire out a small metal wheel which will slowly launch away from X and roll through any enemies and cause damage, as well as being able to destroy certain walls.

The charged-up shot will fire out eight energy beams that will fire away from X in a circular fashion. 		Spin Wheel
Speed Burner Speed Burner Boss: Flame Stag
The Speed Burner is gained when you defeat Flame Stag. This weapon will fire out a large flame-ball which will scorch any targets it strikes.

The charged-up state is useful, as it will cause X to fly straight ahead a small distance while flaming red, so that any enemies he strikes will be destroyed. This can also be used to reach items normally out of reach or in a dangerous area. 		Speed Burner
Silk Shot Silk Shot Boss: Morph Moth
The Silk Shot is gained once Morph Moth is defeated. This weapon will fire a small ball-shaped projectile which will land on the ground in front of X and shoot out four smaller projectiles in diagonal directions. This can hit any enemy normally out of reach.

The charged-up state will attract a large amount of junk towards X, which will fly out and spread projectiles across the screen once fire is released. 		Silk Shot
Magnet Mine Magnet Mine Boss: Manga Centipede
The Magnet Mine is gained once you defeat Magna Centipede. This weapon will fire a small mine-projectile which will continue flying straight forward until it hits something. When it attaches itself so an object, it will detonate after a few seconds.

The charged-up fire will shoot out a small energy ball which will continue to fly through targets once it hits them and cause more damage than a normal shot. 		Magnet Mine
Crystal Hunter Crystal Hunter Boss: Crystal Snail
The Crystal Hunter is gained once Crystal Snail is defeated. This weapon will fire out a small ice crystal which will crystallize any enemies it strikes. When an enemy is frozen, X can stand on top of it to be able to reach higher areas in a stage.

The charged-up shot will cause the entire screen to wobble, and this will cause all the enemies on the screen to slow down their movement and X can destroy them if they are normally moving too fast. 		Crystal Hunter
Sonic Slicer Sonic Slicer Boss: Overdrive Ostrich
The Sonic Slicer is gained once you defeat Overdrive Ostrich. This weapon will fire out two to three razor-disks which will bounce off any walls they hit. This can be useful for striking enemies who move around a lot.

The secondary fire will fire out five large energy disks above X which will fly up a short distance and then fly straight down and strike any targets they hit. 		Sonic Slicer
Bubble Splash Bubble Splash Boss: Bubble Crab
The Bubble Splash is gained once Bubble Crab is defeated. This weapon will fire out a number of bubbles from X and will slowly float up before popping.

The secondary fire will create several bubbles which will spin around X and damage any enemies who come into contact with him. It will also allow X to jump much higher when he is underwater and using the secondary fire. 		Bubble Splash
