Vile's weaponry

This is a list of Vile's weaponry in the game Mega Man Maverick Hunter X. He can equip one weapon each to his arms, shoulders, and legs, and they are further divided by their weapon systems (Vulcans, Missiles, Rocket punch, Cannons, Lasers, Cutters, Napalms, Balls, and Flamethrowers). Each weapon has a cost to its use, and the total cost of all three equipped weapons must be less than Vile's available resources, which increase for each boss he defeats. After defeating Sigma, the limit is raised to infinity, meaning he can equip any combination of weapons the player wishes.

Vile starts off with the Vulcan, Cannon, and Napalm weapon systems, equipped with the Cherry Blast, Front Runner, and Bumpity Boom weapons. The other weapon systems must be obtained by defeating specific bosses, and individual weapons are only revealed after both the boss holding the weapon system and the boss holding the weapon itself are defeated. For example, the "Straight Nightmare", a Laser-type weapon obtained from Storm Eagle, will only be made available after both Sting Chameleon and Storm Eagle are defeated.

Vulcans
Vulcans are Vile's standard Arm Weapons. While individually weak, they have good rapid-fire ability.

Missiles
Missiles offer more power than vulcans, but consume more energy. This weapon system is obtained from Launch Octopus.

Rocket punches
Vile's Rocket Punch weapons are similar to the Hard Knuckle from Mega Man 3. They are extremely powerful, but can only be fired once at a time. This weapon system is obtained from Spark Mandrill.

Laser type
These are laser-based weapons. All laser weapons can be received from Sting Chameleon.

This weapon system is obtained from Launch Octopus. It is effective against Boomerang Kuwanger.

Cannons
Cannons are Vile's standard Shoulder Weapons. While relatively weak, they can be aimed to 0°, 30°, and 60°, and if used in the air they will cause Vile to hover while firing.

Cutter type
All these weapons are obtained after defeating Boomerang Kuwanger.

Napalm type
This type of weapon doesn't have a standard boss.

Energy Ball type
These weapons are all obtained after defeating Armored Armadillo.

Flamethrower type
These weapons are attached to Vile's knee. Through they are fire weapons, not all of them are useful against ice enemies such as Chill Penguin. They are all obtained by defeating Flame Mammoth.

Others
Vile can also obtain two armor upgrades similar to X's "Parts", the Frozen Castle and the Speed Devil.
