| - X-Buster |
- Gained from: N/A |
The X-Buster is the standard weapon of the game and you begin the game with it. It has the normal standard yellow beam which causes light damage to targets. Charged-up shots will results in a stronger blast. When you find the X-Buster upgrade you will be able to charge up to the purple state and fire off two shots, one after the other, which will cause huge damage to targets. This is the universal weapon of the game - no matter how strong the bosses are the X-Buster will be able to damage them and be defeated using this weapon.
