Are you hoping to acquire all Missile Expansions in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond? While you do obtain the Missile Launcher fairly early in the campaign, the ammo for your weapon is quite scarce. Thankfully, each Missile Expansion increases the maximum capacity by +5 rockets, allowing you to blast your foes with impunity.

Fury Green: Missile Expansions map

The map above shows the locations of the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Missile Expansions in the Fury Green region. This is the first major zone in the campaign proper, and you're bound to return to it to find various goodies.

Fury Green Missile Expansion #1

Sub-zone: Cargo Launcher
Location: Found in the zone's main entrance--i.e. where you see the device that launches you to Sol Valley. Return here after getting the Psychic Boots from the Volt Forge. Then, make the psi-platforms materialize so you can grab the item.

Fury Green Missile Expansion #2

Sub-zone: Broken Hall
Location: After you beat the Carvex boss and obtain the Psychic Bomb ability, you'll go through a narrow passageway in your Morph Ball form. To your left, there's an object that you can blow up with your Psychic Bomb.

Fury Green Missile Expansion #3

Sub-zone: Cliffside Gate
Location: Found in the same area that has an Energy Tank. Revisit this place once you have the Psychic Boots and hop on the ledges to grab your prize.

Fury Green Missile Expansion #4

Sub-zone: Grove of the Sacred Tree
Location: You'll stumble upon this Missile Expansion in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond quite early in the game. Basically, after you rescue Mackenzie, you'll see two resin-covered walls in the Grove of the Sacred Tree. One has a doorway that leads to the next area. The other, meanwhile, has a small nook that contains this item.

Fury Green Missile Expansion #5

Sub-zone: Resin Creek
Location: Resin Creek is part of the section with narrow passageways that are close to the first save point in the zone. Defeat the Carvex boss first to receive the Psychic Bomb. Then, return to this area and look for a large orange fruit. Transform into a Morph Ball, jump, and drop a bomb charge to destroy it.

Volt Forge: Missile Expansions map

The map above shows the locations of the Missile Expansions in Volt Forge. You can head to this zone after using the launcher in Fury Green. It's also where you acquire the Vi-O-La motorcycle, which makes exploration a breeze.

Volt Forge Missile Expansion #1

Sub-zone: Facility Approach
Location: Enter Volt Forge proper to trigger a cutscene. Then, check the back of a nearby metal container.

Volt Forge Missile Expansion #2

Sub-zone: Tower 2 - Receiving Lobby
Location: Restore the electricity in Tower 2, then return to the topmost floor. Interact with the terminal and transform into a Morph Ball. Squeeze through the gap and roll all the way to the center to claim the item.

Volt Forge Missile Expansion #3

Sub-zone: Tower 3 - Certification
Location: Just before the boss arena at the bottom of Tower 3, you should see a cave-in to your right. Fire a missile to destroy the rocks, then use your psychic powers to trace the pattern on the floating container.

Ice Belt: Missile Expansions map

There are several Metroid Prime 4 Missile Expansions in the Ice Belt zone. Some of these can be acquired during your first visit. The rest, however, require various Power Suit upgrades and abilities, including the Psychic Grapple and Psychic Spider Ball.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #1

Sub-zone: Surface - Loading Crane
Location: Upon entering the Ice Belt zone, look for a device behind some crates. Turn into a Morph Ball and activate it with your Psychic Bomb.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #2

Sub-zone: Surface - Ancient Temple
Location: You need the Psychic Grapple and Thunder Shot for this item. Both abilities allow you to reach the Ancient Temple sub-zone, which is also where you unlock the Psychic Spider Ball upgrade. Note that the Missile Expansion is off to the side of the steps leading to the chamber.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #3

Sub-zone: Bio-Labs - Bio-Labs Access
Location: Acquire the TK Codes and the Psychic Lasso ability on your first visit to Ice Belt. Then, pry open the door to the right of the purple glyph. Use the lasso to pull the debris away.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #4

Sub-zone: Bio-Labs - Lobby Circuit
Location: You'll see this particular section as you're making your way back to the top of the facility after restoring power. However, you can only reach the very top in Morph Ball form once you have the Psychic Spider Ball ability. Tether onto the circular indentations, then use your Psychic Bomb to activate the two nodes at the top. You need to do this before the barricades blocking the item completely shut.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #5

Sub-zone: Medical Bays - Surgery Corridor
Location: While exploring the back portion of the Medical Bays, you'll notice a grate that you can pull with the Psychic Lasso. Enter it via Morph Ball and blow up the obstacle that's blocking the path.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #6

Sub-zone: Medical Bays - Staging Corridor
Location: You're likely to spot this particular Metroid Prime 4 Missile Expansion while exploring the Medical Bays. That said, you can only gain access to this room after fully restoring power to the facility. A Griever will emerge from one of the rooms when you return to this floor. Enter that room and go through the hole via Morph Ball.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #7

Sub-zone: Medical Bays - Storage Bay
Location: This item is in the chamber that has a frozen Griever specimen and thousands of experiment pods lining the walls.
- Make sure you have the aforementioned Psychic Spider Ball ability first.
- Drop down to the lower area of this room and enter the hole via Morph Ball.
- Latch onto the railing and destroy the bot with your Psychic Bombs.
- Use your Psychic Bombs to jump and reach the Missile Expansion. This can be done by placing one bomb, and then waiting for a couple of seconds before placing the second bomb. Activate the third bomb immediately as soon as you get tossed in mid-air. With a bit of luck, your "bomb jump" should help you grab this item.

Ice Belt Missile Expansion #8

Sub-zone: Quarantine - Elevator Landing
Location: This Missile Expansion is in a locked room just before the boss' arena. You need the Thunder Shot to unlock the metal gate.

Flare Pool Missile Expansion #1

Sub-zone: Volcano Entrance
Location: In the first room in Flare Pool, use your psychic powers to make several platforms materialize. Then, hop on top of them with your Psychic Boots.

These are the Metroid Prime 4: Beyond Missile Expansions that we've obtained so far. We'll let you know once we find several others, so stay tuned.
