Strike Chain

Strike Chain (ストライクチェーン) is the weapon that X obtains from Wire Sponge in Mega Man X2. It quickly releases a chain with a hook on its end. The hook can grasp to walls to pull X towards, or grasp and bring back items. When charged, a longer chain is released. Enemies destroyed by this chain will result in energy pickups. This weapon is Wheel Gator's weakness and is the only weapon other than a fully-charged X-Buster that can damage Neo Sigma's final form.
