==In the Games==
===Mega Man X===
In Mega Man X, Shotgun Ice is obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. X fires a spiked ball of ice; if the ball hits a wall or enemy, it splits into four pieces of shrapnel that fly backwards at different angles. Penguin uses it is an attack in his boss battle by spitting ice chunks, though they shatter into harmless fragments as opposed to the Special Weapon version.
Shotgun Ice deals 1 damage to enemies; both the initial shot and its shrapnel deal the same amount. It is strong against Spark Mandrill and Bospider; it deals 3 damage to both and will briefly freeze Mandrill in place, an infamously exploitable strategy. It costs 1 Weapon Energy to fire.
Shotgun Ice's Charge Shot generates an ice sled in the shape of Chill Penguin, which slides forwards until it shatters on a wall or strong enemy. X can stand on top of the sled to ride it, which moves faster than walking and can destroy small enemies. This deals 2 damage and costs 2 Weapon Energy.
===Mega Man Xtreme===
In Mega Man Xtreme, Shotgun Ice is again obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It functions identically to its appearance in Mega Man X. However, the Charge Shot only deals its 2 damage to bosses that are weak to it, and it no longer resembles Chill Penguin. It is newly strong against Zain, and still freezes Spark Mandrill in place, but his frame data is adjusted to be far less exploitable.
===Mega Man Maverick Hunter X===
In Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Shotgun Ice is again obtained by defeating Chill Penguin. It functions identically to its appearance in Mega Man X. Like in Mega Man Xtreme, its Charge Shot sled does not resemble Chill Penguin and is merely a chunk of ice.
==Other Game Appearances==
* In Mega Man X DiVE, Shotgun Ice is a obtained by defeating Chill Penguin in Story Mode. It can only be used with a Buster equipped, inflicting damage and a stackable Slow status to the target.
