Mega Man Zero 4 Chips screen.

Chips are items from the Mega Man Zero series. At first there are only three elemental chips, but more are introduced in Mega Man Zero 3, replacing the Form system from Mega Man Zero 2. It allows the player to equip Zero with one chip each for his legs, body and head, with each chip granting him an upgrade to his abilities.

Mega Man Zero and Zero 2[]

Mega Man Zero and Mega Man Zero 2 have three Element Chips that Zero obtains after defeating a specific boss for the first time. Each chip adds an element to Zero's charged attacks and some of his EX Skills. In Mega Man Zero 3 these chips are classified under the Body Chip category. They are absent in Mega Man Zero 4, but Zero can still use elemental attacks through his EX Skills.

Mega Man Zero 4[]

In Mega Man Zero 4, Zero must collect parts from enemies and bring them to Cerveau to create them. Also, some characters in the game can provide recipes that create the chips.

Most of the chips do not have recipes for learning in the game, and when fabricating chips, the order of the used parts in the recipes is irrelevant. Each chip can only be created once. The player can hold up until nine units of the same part. Most of the parts for chip recipes are randomly dropped by defeated enemies present in revisitable stages, except for Moloid parts. Moloids are only found during the mission to protect the Area Zero Settlement, after defeating four Einherjar bosses in the game. In the Hibernation Chamber stage, Scrap Elves can only be defeated by Zero using the Zero Knuckle to grab a lamp and use it to push them against sunlight, during sunny weather at the easy and normal difficulty modes. Pantheon Corpses are only activated if the player waits for them to be possessed by Scrap Elves in the same stage. Poplans can be defeated by the Zero Knuckle or flame elemental attacks. Ceratanium is not dropped by defeated enemies, and it is found in specific stage locations. S-Crystal and Junk are the only parts created by the player via recipes.

The Junk set are the only chips that require a combination, for all three need to be equipped in order for them to have any use. When all three Junk chips are equipped, Zero emulates his Proto Form, in which his offense is doubled and defense halved. However, unlike the previous depictions of the Proto Form (particularly when it is used in Hard Mode) Zero can still use his weapons and EX Skills normally. However, if Zero uses any Cyber-elf ability his transformation will be cancelled.

Trivia[]

  • In Mega Zero 3, there are four chip and cyber-elf combos that grant Zero new abilities:
    • Normal Head + Light Body + Quick Foot + EX Skill Split Heavens = by pressing the up button during his third saber slash, Zero will use Split Heavens immediately.
    • Normal Head + Light Body + Frog Foot (or Ultima Foot) + Cyber-elf Kwappa (as fusion or satellite) = Zero sticks to walls and will not slide down unless the down button is pressed.
    • Quick-Charge Head + Normal Body + Cyber-elf Clokkle (as fusion or satellite) = Zero's charging speed is doubled.
    • Auto-Recover Head + Absorber Body + Spike Foot = Faster health recovery when standing still.
  • In Mega Zero 4, it should be noted Cyber-elf chip's raising of Croire's level does not affect the Elf Max. Level in the Result screen after missions.
