Connectivity in Mega Man Battle Network 3
From The Rockman EXE Zone Wiki
These are the features that require connectivity in Mega Man Battle Network 3.
Exclusive Giga Chip
In this game, there is a Giga Chip that is only obtainable by NetBattling with another player. Balance Y for White Version and DeltaRay Z for Blue Version.
If you're NetBattling on Midweight, Heavyweight or Tri-Battle level and playing in Real mode, when the Results screen pops up, there is a 1-in-32 chance to get a special reward chip. This only happens if the winning player has not yet received Balance/DeltaRay. When this happens, the losing player does not lose one of their own chips.

After having 1 battle against another player, the losing player will be able to pass the Link Cable to another player and challenge the winning player. MegaMan will keep track how many victories the winning player has had so far. Nothing occurs if the 69 battles goal is reached, it's merely flavor text.

Real Battle Reward
When choosing the reward chip, the game will make a list of every Standard chip that neither you nor the other player has yet. However, all the Virus Breeder chips are excluded from this list, so you can't get them this way.
If this list of potential chips is empty, then the winning player will receive Balance or DeltaRay depending on their version. For instance, this is the case when the combined libraries of both players is complete. Otherwise, the game selects a chip rarity based on your Busting Level:
| Busting Level | Chip Rarity Chance |
|---|---|
| Lv. 1 | ★: 100% |
| Lv. 2 | ★: 100% |
| Lv. 3 | ★: 100% |
| Lv. 4 | ★ : 50% ★★: 50% |
| Lv. 5 | ★★: 50% ★★★: 50% |
| Lv. 6 | ★★★: 100% |
| Lv. 7 | ★★★: 50% ★★★★: 50% |
| Lv. 8 | ★★★★: 100% |
| Lv. 9 | ★★★★: 100% |
| Lv. 10 | ★★★★: 100% |
| Lv. S | ★★★★: 100% |
Next, the game will check if there are any chips in the list of potential chips that match the selected rarity. If there are no chips found, then the game will decrease rarity by 1 and check again, until a chip is found. If there are still no chips found at this point, then the game will instead increase the rarity by 1 and check again until a chip is found.
Finally, the game will choose one of the available codes of that chip at random, except for * code, unless * code is the only code that chip can have. Each code has an equal chance to be chosen.
NetBattle Fields
Lightweight
Midweight
Heavyweight
There are a total of 17 stages in Heavyweight.
Fan effect
At the start of battle, a constant Fan effect will blow the MegaMans to the direction of their opponent's field.
Flags
At the start of battle, a 1000 HP flag will spawn on each respective players' field. If a player takes their opponent's down to 0, they win without having to deplete the opponent's HP.
Guardian Restock
At the start of every turn, a Guardian statue will Restock on each players' field. Each player can only control 2 Guardians at a time, so each maxed Restock will replace 1 of the 2 existing guardians.
