In the Games

Mega Man X5

The Falcon Armor debuted in Mega Man X5. It is most notable for its Free Move ability, which effectively lets X fly through the air. Unlike previous Armor Parts, all four parts of the Falcon Armor must be collected before it can be equipped.

Parts	Location	Effect
Head Parts	Super-Electromagnetic Lab Stage	Reduces Weapon Energy consumption by 50%.
Body Parts	Deep-Sea Submarine Stage	Reduces all damage received by 50%, and grants X a Giga Attack. Its Weapon Energy fills whenever X takes damage from enemy attacks, allowing X to use the Giga Attack to summon Charge Shots across the entire screen.
Arm Parts	Laser Institute Stage	Upgrades X's third Charge Shot level to the Spear Charge Shot (スピアチャージショット), which deals increased damage and penetrates enemies, obstacles, and surfaces. However, X cannot charge Special Weapons like usual.
Foot Parts	Runaway Truck Stage	Grants X the Free Move, which allows X to fly through the air for a limited amount of time. During Free Move, X gains a small barrier that damages enemies on contact and grants him invincibility to collision damage, allowing him to fly through enemies freely. However, X cannot Air Dash like usual.

Mega Man X6

The Falcon Armor returned in Mega Man X6, having been incompletely restored by Alia. It lacks some of its original effects and gains some new ones, and is given to the player as early as the Opening Stage.

Parts	Location	Effect
Head Parts	-	Reduces Weapon Energy consumption by 33%.
Body Parts	-	Reduces all damage received by 50%, and grants X a Giga Attack. Its Weapon Energy fills whenever X takes damage from enemy attacks, allowing X to use the Giga Attack to summon Charge Shots across the entire screen.
Arm Parts	-	Upgrades X's third Charge Shot level to the Spear Charge Shot. While its damage is not as highly increased and it can no longer pierce obstacles, X can now charge Special Weapons to make up for it.
Foot Parts	-	Grants X the Air Dash and Free Move. Both moves grant X a small barrier, but Free Move is greatly weakened, being only a slightly longer Air Dash.

Mega Man X DiVE

In Mega Man X DiVE, Falcon Armor X appears as a playable Hunter Program. His Active Skills are the Spear Charge Shot and the Giga Attack.

Other Game Appearances

• In Mega Man X Legacy Collection, in X Challenge, X may briefly equip the Fourth Armor to attack with its Spear Charge Shot and Free Move during the battle.
