This page lists items and content in the series which can be permanently missed, or become more difficult to obtain, if not obtained by a certain point in the game.

Mega Man Battle Network 4

Viruses

For most viruses, lower versions can be encountered even on the highest difficulty (Continue 3+). However, there are a few viruses that only appear on a specific difficulty. As a result, this may lock you out of obtaining certain chip codes, which can otherwise only be obtained (very rarely) from the Chip Trader.

WaterGod Comp Gold Mr. Prog

Main page: WaterGod Comps

The WaterGod Comp can only be accessed if Lan fights Paulie as an opponent in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament. In the WaterGod Comp, a gold Mr. Prog known as the WaterGod Program has a low chance to spawn upon jacking in to the comp. It will give up to 5 rewards from a pool of 8, depending on the current difficulty. As such, certain BattleChip rewards for Game 1 and 2 can be missed.

Whether Paulie will appear in the Red Sun / Blue Moon Tournament, and which rewards will be given by the WaterGod Program, are both determined at the start of the game. Therefore, the player has no control over this and getting the chips below is simply up to luck. Additionally, Paulie cannot appear in both Game 1 and 2.
