Megaman Legends Weapon Enhancement Guide
for usage with Megaman Legends on the PSX

please only e-mail me information in reguards to this guide, if you 
can't find a weapon, look at the item FAQ, and it will tell you where to 
get each item. 

This is a FAQ I wrote in regards to all the other information in the 
other guides that say stuff like "the active buster is the best gun, but 
it costs an arm and a leg to fully upgrade it" well, I was bored, so I 
decided to figure out exactly how much Zenny it will cost to upgrade it 
and all the rest of the other secondary weapons in this game.

Ok! So lets get on with the FAQ!


1. Version History

7/22/02
Version 1
This is my first ever FAQ! Wish me luck!


I have found that there wasn't a FAQ written for just the weapon 
Enhancement costs or anything like it, and so I was bored and decided to 
finally contribute to the legendary site that I have been using for the 
past 2 years! So no more boring you, on with the FAQ!!!!

Now this is how it will work: I have written out the name of the weapon, 
a brief description and usage, (IMO) and I have even drawn out a little 
table showing how long the bars are. And the bar filled with the XXXX's; 
is how full it initially is when you get the weapon. The empty space 
with a number in it, represents how full the gauge will become with that 
upgrade. And after I tell you how much it costs to upgrade each level of 
the weapon. And after all that, I will tell you the cost to enhance the 
weapon fully and I will tell you how many shots you get from each level 
the energy can be at. And the ) is included in how far the bar will 
increase to. Simple enough?


2. Normal Arm
This is the Weapon you start the game out with. Seemingly, you should be 
able to upgrade at least the damage, I mean, couldn't Roll put on some 
spikes on your foot or something?

	You cannot enhance any feature of this weapon.
Attack  :XXX)
Energy  :XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX) 
Range   :)
Rapid   :XXXXXXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: Nothing!
Infinity shots (although your legs could certainly get tired after a 
while)

3. Machine Buster
This is a gun that is useful for the water battle with the pirates in my 
opinion. Well, at least that is where I best used it. It is a simple 
gun, and not very useful, except if you have a bunch of Zenny burning a 
hole in your metal pocket. 

You can enhance every aspect of this weapon.
Attack  :XXX)  2)  3)                2 = 3,400 3 = 10,000
Energy  :XXXXXXXXX)  2)  3)  4)      2 = 3,000 3 = 8,000  4 = 12,000
Range   :XXXXX)2)                    2 = 2,600
Rapid   :XXXXXXXXX)  2)  3)          2 = 5,000 3 = 10,000
Special :XXXXXXX)  2)  3)            2 = 1,200 3 = 2,000
Each upgrade to special increases the spread of the shots.
Total cost to upgrade: 67,200 Zenny. 
Level 1: 128 shots level 2: 192 level 3: 288 level 4: 400


4. Powered Buster
This is a pretty useful weapon, because you can snipe with it, which I 
know some people like to do, but this weapon fires too slow and the 
bullet itself moves too slow. They should have let you increase the 
special to increase the speed the bullet flies at.

You can enhance ATK, ENG, and RNG
Attack  :XXXXXXX)  2)  3)            2 = 3,500. 3 = 11,000
Energy  :XXX)  2)                    2 = 5,000
Range   :XXXXXXX)  2)  3)    4)      2 = 1,600. 3 = 3,200. 4 = 6,400
Rapid   :XXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 29,700 Zenny
Level 1: 16 level 2: 32.


5. Drill Arm
This is a useful tool, but not that great as a weapon. It is ok, but 
generally speaking, the only Reaverbots you want close enough to you to 
attack with this kinda weapon, you would like the next shot to knock it 
to the ground!

You can enhance ATK, and ENG
Attack  :XXXXXXX)  2)  3)              2 = 3,000. 3 = 8,000
Energy  :XXXXX)    2)        3)        2 = 5,000. 3 = 12,000
Range   :)
Rapid   :XXXXXXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 28,000
Level 1: ?? level 2: ?? Level 3: Infinity (the right number is going to 
be in an update,)

6. Grenade Arm
This is a good weapon... for decoration. It is your hand basically, except 
that you also can toss weak grenades around corners and get a Reaverbot 
that could have taken like 4 shots from your buster anyway. 

You can enhance ATK, ENG, RNG, and RPD
Attack  :XXXXX)    2)                2 = 6,500
Energy  :XXXXX)2)3)4)                2 = 1,200 3 = 4,000 4 = 8,000
Range   :XXXXX)2)3)                  2 = 1,400 3 = 5,000
Rapid   :XXXXXXX)2)3)                2 = 2,000 3 = 3,000
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 31,100 Zenny
Level 1: 24 level 2: 32 level 3: 40 level 4: 48


7. Spread Buster
Ahh yes, this gun.

You can enhance ATK, ENG, RNG, and SPC
Attack  :XXXXXXXXXXXXX)  2)  3)         2 = 45,000 3 = 89,000
Energy  :XXX)2)3)                       2 = 18,000 3 = 30,000
Range   :X)2)                           2 = 12,000
Rapid   :XXX)                      
Special :XXXXXXX)    2)    3)           2 = 20,000 3 = 35,000
Each upgrade provides 2 more bombs then last. Level 1: 3 2:5 3:7
Total cost to upgrade: 249,000 Zenny
Level 1: 16 level 2: 24 level 3: 32


8. Vacuum Arm
This is my personal favorite weapon. I mainly use my buster anyways, and 
this just makes my life a lot easier then having to run around a whole 
bunch picking up small refractor shards, and I can loot them all while 
fighting other Reaverbots. In fact, I take it off only to put on Shining 
Laser, just because by the time I have it, I don't have a use for money 
anymore.

You can enhance ENG, RNG, and SPC
Attack  :)
Energy  :XXXXXXX)             2)         2 = 1,000

Special :XXXXXXX)  2)  3)    4)          2 =   500 3 = 2,500 4 = 5,000
Total cost to upgrade: 10,500 Zenny
Level 1: 1,800 level 2: Infinity



9. Active Buster
Oh ya. I finally get to this gun. I started upgrading each gun, and when 
I ran out of money, _I started with 1,130,000 roughly_ I reseted the 
Playstation and continued on with either that gun, or the next one. But 
this gun took me 3 resets for just it. So ya it is awesome. And it is 
both an Arm and a Leg. And half a nose, if you want special also 
upgraded.

You can enhance everything
Attack  :XXXXXXX)2)  3)  4)           2 = 30,000 3 = 85,000 4 = 200,000
Energy  :XXXXX)  2)  3)      4)       2 =  5,000 3 = 35,000 4 = 990,000

Total cost to upgrade: 1,760,000 Zenny
Level 1: 32 level 2: 56 level 3: 96 level 4: Infinity


10. Blade Arm
Yet another seemingly useless special weapon, it looks kinda cool, but 
in general, the thought of having an energy sword is a lot better then 
actually having it.

You can enhance ATK, ENG, and RNG
Attack  :XXXXXXXXX)  2)  3)        2 = 4,000 3 = 8,000
Energy  :XXXXX)2)3)                2 = 1,000 3 = 2,000

Rapid   :XXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 38,000 Zenny
Level 1: 32 level 2: 64 level 3: 128


11. Grand Grenade
This is only useful if you decide to skip or just plain not get the 
powered buster. Either one, you need to finish the game getting one of 
them, and I think that that is best use for either of these two weapons.

You can enhance ATK, ENG, and RNG
Attack  :XXXXXXXXX)           2)       2 = 100,000
Energy  :X)2)  3)                      2 =  50,000 3 = 150,000

Rapid   :XXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 344,000 Zenny
Level 1: 8 level 2: 16 level 3: 32


12. Splash Mine
Ahh the first special weapon you get besides your lame kick. It is ok, 
and maybe even good for the upgrade to power; you can easily use this 
until you beat the Digging Robot the pirates build. Then after that you 
get the Vacuum Arm, which easily replaces this in my book.

You can enhance ATK and ENG
Attack  :XXXXX)    2)           2 = 3,000
Energy  :XXX)2)3)               2 =   800 3 = 1,600
Range   :)
Rapid   :XXXXXXX)
Special :XXX)
Total cost to upgrade: 5,400 Zenny
Level 1: 24 level 2: 32 level 3: 48


13. Shield Arm
This Arm is fun to use. But the only problem is, keyword there is fun. I 
like to play around and act like the shooter Reaverbots in the Main 
Gate. You know, take a couple steps forward, shoot, then put up shield 
for 5 minutes. 

You can enhance ENG and SPC

Size of shield
Total cost to upgrade: 92,000 Zenny
Level 1: 300 level 2: 450 level 3: 600 level 4: 1,200


14. Shining Laser
The only true replacement for the Vacuum Arm, IMO, because it might only 
cost a right arm (yuk yuk) but it is well worth it, and because you can 
slice Megaman Juno in a couple seconds easily. And it also comes in 
handy against the giant Robot the pirates build in the Old City. 

You can enhance ATK, ENG, and RNG

ok! So this is it! I finally finished this FAQ! I hope you enjoyed 
reading it, because I spent many many hours getting all that Zenny and 
to write it down twice, and leaving the support car to check and see how 
many shots you got per level of energy upgrade you got, and etc. etc. it 
took a while, but I did it, and so I hope this has helped you out.
