As in the official games, X acquires new weapons by defeating one of the main 8 bosses. These weapons consume ammunition, which can be refilled via save capsules or from blue item pickups in the field. Unlike in the official games, these "special weapons" do not require an arm upgrade to charge; instead, their charged variants are unlocked via spending points on the requisite section of their independent skill trees.
