Useful Questions

What should I know before playing Megaman X?

How do you unlock all the armor parts?

To unlock the full upgrade set (Helmet, Buster, Armor, and Boots), locate Dr. Light's armor capsules hidden in any stage; each is placed secretly behind breakable walls or tricky, hard-to-enter areas. For example, obtaining the dash upgrade often allows reaching these secret capsules earlier.

What special weapons do you get from Maverick bosses?

Each boss grants their special ability to X—like Chill Penguin’s Shotgun Ice for ground platforms, Storm Eagle’s storm tornado for projectile damage or launch power, or other weapons for various situations. Try different combat types using various weapons.
