Shotgun Ice (ショットガンアイス) is a Special Weapon first appearing in Mega Man X. It is obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It gives X a blue and yellow palette, and shoots an ice ball that shatters into shrapnel on walls.

In the Games

Mega Man X

Sprite from Mega Man X.

In Mega Man X, Shotgun Ice is obtained by defeating Chill Penguin, who uses it in his boss battle by spitting ice chunks. X fires a spiked ball of ice; if the ball hits a wall, it splits into four pieces of shrapnel that fly back at different angles. It costs 1 Weapon Energy to fire.

Shotgun Ice's Charge Shot generates an ice sled in the shape of Chill Penguin, which slides forwards until it shatters on a wall or strong enemy. X can stand atop the sled to ride it, which is faster than most of his movement. It costs 2 Weapon Energy to fire.

Shotgun Ice deals 1 damage to enemies; both the main shot and the shrapnel deal the same amount. It is strong against Spark Mandrill and Bospider; it deals 3 damage to both and will briefly freeze Mandrill in place, an infamously exploitable strategy. Its Charge Shot deals 1 additional point of damage.

Mega Man Xtreme

Sprite from Mega Man Xtreme.

In Mega Man Xtreme, Shotgun Ice is again obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It functions identically to its appearance in Mega Man X, though its Charge Shot does not resemble Chill Penguin anymore and only deals its additional 1 damage on bosses weak to it. It is newly strong against Zain, and still freezes Mandrill in place but is far less exploitable.

In Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Shotgun Ice is again obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It functions identically to its appearance in Mega Man X, though like in Mega Man Xtreme, its Charge Shot does not resemble Chill Penguin anymore.

In Mega Man X DiVE, Shotgun Ice is a Chip obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It can only be used with a Buster equipped, inflicting damage and a stackable Slow status to the target.
