    The Opening Highway

    Before the Maverick Select screen even opens, X fights through Repliforce's welcome parade on an open highway crawling with Mechaniloids and light artillery fire. Stay mobile and don't linger in open lanes — this stretch is also where the two general-purpose Ride Armors are parked.

    Grab both if you can; the Land Chaser in particular makes short work of the highway's remaining traffic.

    Into Web Spider's Factory

    Web Spider's stage is an industrial factory floor — conveyor belts, crushers, and rail-mounted Mechaniloids. Watch your footing near the belts; several sections try to feed you straight into a crusher if you're not paying attention.

    A hidden path breaks off from the main factory route and rewards a careful wall-climb with the Head Armor Capsule — well worth the detour before you reach the boss room.

    Keep an eye out along the stage's side paths for a Heart Tank, permanently extending your health bar.
