It doesn't have a built in flash, but you can get the EF-X8 for like $20 or $30 on Ebay.

If bought NOS or a 'complete' used package, it should include the EF-X8. But yes, if it is missing, it is not an expensive addition.

YMMV, but in the two years I've owned an X-E3, I have always kept the small EF-X8 in my camera bag/backpack. But I've only ever taken it out when my bags needed rearranging. My X-E2's built-in flash has been used no more than 5 times since 2016.

If I were to do more flash photography, I'd look for a more powerful flash with more flash head rotation, like the EF-42/60.
