Notable Techniques

Vile's Weapons in Maverick Hunter X

This is a list of Vile's weaponry in Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. He can equip one weapon to his arms, shoulders, and legs, which are further divided into weapon systems: Vulcans, Missiles, Rocket Punches, Cannons, Lasers, Cutters, Napalms, Balls, and Flamethrowers. Vile's default weapons are the Vulcan Cherry Blast, the Cannon Front Runner, and the Napalm Bumpity Boom. Each weapon has a cost to its use, and the total cost of all three equipped weapons must be less than Vile's available resources, which increase for each boss he defeats. Completing Vile Mode removes this limitation. Additional weapons are obtained by defeating the eight Maverick bosses, along with specific weapon systems. For example, Straight Nightmare is a Laser-type weapon obtained from Storm Eagle, and thus requires Sting Chameleon's Laser weapon system first before it can be used. Arm Weapons Arm Weapons are generally the weakest of Vile's weapons, but their high firing rate and low energy usage means they can deal a large amount of damage over time. They are also the only weapons he can use while still clinging to a wall or ladder. Vulcans Vulcans are Vile's standard Arm Weapons. While individually weak, they have good rapid-fire ability. Image Name Boss Cost Description Cherry Blast (チェリーブラスト, Cherī Burasuto) Available from start. 2 units With a range of approximately 25 feet, this vulcan is easy to use. Zip Zapper (ジップザッパー, Jīppu Zappā) Armored Armadillo 8 units Though boasting extreme accuracy, this vulcan lacks extensive range. Buckshot Dance (バックショットダンス, Bakkushotto Dansu) Sting Chameleon 12 units The scattering power of this vulcan results in less than perfect aiming. Distance Needler (ディスタンスニードラー, Disutansu Nīdorā) Chill Penguin 6 units This vulcan has good range and speed, but cannot fire rapidly. It is effective against Spark Mandrill. Triple 7 (トリプルセブン, Toripuru Sebun) Flame Mammoth 16 units Boasting both power and spread, this vulcan consumes much power. It is also the Vulcan Weapon used when Vile rides the Goliath Ride Armor in the game, albeit without using any weapon energy. Missiles Missiles offer more power than vulcans, but consume more energy. This weapon system is obtained from Launch Octopus. Image Name Boss Cost Description Humerus Crush (ヒューメラスクラッシュ, Hyūmerasu Kurasshu) Launch Octopus 4 units Missiles offer more power than vulcans, but consume more energy.

Shoulder Weapons Shoulder Weapons are of middling strength, and can be aimed to fire at 0°, 30°, and 60°. Because of this, they are best used against airborne enemies. Furthermore, if used in the air they will cause Vile to hover while firing, decreasing their firing time. This technique can also be used to extend the horizontal distance of Vile's jumps.

In addition to the standard punch attack, the Ride Armor possesses a rapid-fire vulcan able to quickly destroy most enemies. However, it has a time limit; once mounted, the Ride Armor has thirty-two seconds (analogous to the maximum 32 units of Weapon Energy) before it runs out of energy and self-destructs. Time decreases when damage is taken, but increases when Weapon Energy pickups are collected. The Ride Armor also automatically self-destructs when dismounted.
