In the Games
Mega Man X
The First Armor debuted in Mega Man X. It is most notable for introducing the Dash function and Charge Shots for Special Weapons, which would later become staples of the series. It is also unique because, in a regular playthrough, the player must obtain at least two of the Armor Parts: the Light Capsule for the Foot Parts is unavoidable, while Zero ensures the player has Arm Parts by giving them his if they don't have them at the scene of his death.
Parts | Location | Effect |
---|---|---|
Head Parts | Sky Stage | Grants X the ability to destroy certain blocks by jumping into them from below, headbutting them. It also protects X from falling rocks in certain areas. |
Body Parts | Forest Stage | Reduces all damage received by 50%. |
Arm Parts | Factory Stage / Sigma Stage 1 | Grants X a fourth Charge Shot level. At this fourth level, the X-Buster gains the Spiral Crush Buster (スパイラルクラッシュバスター), which fires a swirl of pink shots with a permeating effect. X can also charge Special Weapons, which each have their own unique Charge Shot. |
Foot Parts | Snow Mountain Stage | Grants X the ability to Dash, and to destroy certain blocks by Wall Kicking off of them. |
Mega Man Xtreme
The First Armor returns digitally in the Mother Computer in Mega Man Xtreme, acting mostly the same. Since X already has the Dash by default in this game, his Foot Parts function slightly differently.

Mega Man Maverick Hunter X
The First Armor returns in the remake Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, with a slight visual redesign and rearranged Light Capsule locations. Additionally, the Arm Parts differ based on whether the player got them from the Light Capsule or from Zero.

Sigma Palace 3 | Grants X a fourth Charge Shot level. At this fourth level, the X-Buster gains the Zero Buster, which deals increased damage in one hit. X can also charge Special Weapons. | |
Foot Parts | Prototype Weapons Plant | Grants X the ability to Dash, and to destroy certain blocks by Wall Kicking off of them. |
Mega Man X DiVE
In Mega Man X DiVE, First Armor X appears as a playable Hunter Program. His Active Skills are Spiral Crush Buster, which is an extra powerful Charge Shot as usual, and Headbutt, which weaponizes the Head Parts into a rising physical attack rather than a utility.
