Before You Start
Mega Man X — Maverick Hunt
This path plays X's full kit: the X-Buster, eight Maverick weapons copied one by one, and every Armor Capsule, Sub Tank, and Ride Armor hidden across the stages. Expect more backtracking and exploration than Zero's run in exchange for a much deeper toolkit by the end.
Difficulty:(Normal / Ranged & Collection Focused)
Key Points
- Playstyle: Ranged combat with the X-Buster and copied Maverick weapons
- Armor Capsules: 4 total — Head, Arm, Body, Leg
- Sub Tanks: 2 total, refillable reserves of Life/Weapon Energy
Recommendations
- Follow the weakness chain in order — each Maverick you beat drops the weapon that cripples the next one.
- Detour for Armor Capsules early; the Leg Armor's Air Dash makes every later stage's secrets easier to reach.
- Keep both Sub Tanks topped off before a boss run — they're your safety net against a bad attempt.
- Save Weapon Energy for the weakness weapon instead of spraying the X-Buster at a boss you already have an answer for.
