Gravity Well

Gravity Well, known as Bug Hole (バグホール) in Japan, is the Special Weapon that X obtains from Gravity Beetle in Mega Man X3. When equipped with this weapon, X releases a floating ball in front of him that creates a high-gravity zone. Surrounding enemies are crushed by the gravitational force of the ball. When charged, X releases a Gravity Well upward, only this time with a black hole generated. Once in the sky, it lifts enemies up towards it.

Gravity Well is Blast Hornet's weakness; he is the only boss that takes damage from this weapon.

Trivia

 * X is semi-invincible during the charged Gravity Well's duration. Certain enemy attacks will go right through X without harming him, while others, such as energy orbs, will shock him out of his pose and cause damage. Spikes will still kill X instantly during this attack.


 * The charged Gravity Well can be used to lift certain objects, most notably a piece of machinery in Volt Catfish's stage that leads to the Armor enhancement.


 * X is unable to fire a charged Gravity Well if a previous uncharged shot remains on-screen.
