Development notes "Once acquired, the X-Ray Visor will make hidden areas and objects visible, and enable you to view enemies that use optical camouflage. Caution is used around robotic enemies, which can jam the X-Ray Visor's frequency." Metroid Prime flash Samus uses the X-Ray visor to reveal invisible enemies, areas and items. "The X-Ray Visor upgrades Samus Aran's Heads Up Display with the ability to see through certain types of materials. As with the Thermal Visor, the X-Ray Visor can often identify alternate means of attacking foes."

Samus acquires the new X-Ray Visor in the Command Vault in the Pirate Command sector of the Pirate Homeworld. Finally, if a nearby enemy enters Hypermode while Samus is using the X-Ray Visor, it will overload the visor and fill the HUD with static.

Collecting the visor makes certain devices usable as well, such as the Pirate X-Ray Pads scattered across their Homeworld. If this visor is used in conjunction with the Nova Beam, Samus can target the weak spots of certain enemies (such as the brains of Commando Pirates and Berserker Knights and the internal nuclei of Phazon Metroids and Metroid Hatchers) for a one-hit-kill. This, when used in combination with the Nova Beam, a beam weapon that can pass through Phazite, is very helpful. The material Phazite is penetrable by X-rays, allowing Samus' visor to see through it. Samus battles Gandrayda with the X-Ray Visor. This visor turns the Targeting Reticule white. Power-ups are also visible while using the X-Ray Visor, which can be useful if Samus is searching for any power-ups in the surrounding area.
