The Σ Blade is an unlockable weapon for Zero and Layer in Mega Man X8. It is a gigantic sword, the same weapon used by Sigma in his boss battle. It can be obtained by either completing the game or entering a code on the title screen, and then buying it in the R&D Lab.
Description[]
The Σ Blade boasts the increased attack power and Guard Break properties of the T Breaker, while retaining the swing speed and three-hit combo of weaker weapons such as the Z-Saber (however, its combo is not extended with Saber Skill+ Chips). The reach of this weapon is two times the length of the Z-Saber. Additionally, equipping this weapon reduces Weapon Energy usage by half. These traits make it the most powerful and versatile weapon in the game.
The unlock code for the PS2 version of the original release and Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 is:
- L3, L3, R3, L3, L3, R3, L3, L3, R3, L3, L3, R3, L3, L3, R3 (PS2 & PS4)
- LS, LS, RS, LS, LS, RS, LS, LS, RS, LS, LS, RS, LS, LS, RS (NS/Xbox One/Steam)
Enter this code on the main title screen then hear a new "Mega Man X8" voice clip to confirm the code was entered correctly. Then start a new game on Normal or Hard Difficulty.
Note: These buttons are actually the analog sticks in the controller which can be pushed like regular buttons with the left analog stick as L3 and the right analog stick as R3. The left and right analog sticks for the non-Playstation controls serve the same purpose in the Mega Man X Legacy Collection 2 re-release. For the Steam version, as the Steam Controller lacks a right analog stick, the right touchpad is used in its place.

Trivia[]
- Unlike other weapons, the Σ Blade will not change its color after obtaining Rekkyoudan, and instead remains the same yellow-green. However, the trail left when swinging it does change from green to orange.
