White Axl

The White Armor is a special armor for Axl in Mega Man X8 that upgrades his abilities:




 * Continous hovering while firing.
 * His ground dash is longer.
 * Allows you to be transformed for an unlimited amount time.

To unlock this armor, input L2 (X3), R2 (X3), L2 (X3), and R2 on the tile screen while "Press Start" is flashing. If input correctly, you should hear Axl's voice, confirming the code. You must then choose either Normal or Hard mode. It can also be unlocked by purchasing all of Axl's upgrades, have him defeat Lumine's final form with a Double Attack and starting a New Game Plus.

Speculation

 * Given Axl's look with the White Armor and his ending in X8, it is speculated that the shard of Lumine that was flung into Axl's helmet crystal is the cause of this armor. However, this has not been confirmed, and the shard has not been expanded on, as it is not seen later during the events of Mega Man X: Command Mission.
