My mtb has had little love this year and the X fusion (O2 RCX) shock is creaking more than my back. Dont really know anything about them.. except its probably the bushes. What do i need to fix it??

Bush removal tool?
New bushes.

OFFSETBUSHINGS.com. £10 each for either offset or standard drilling. The creak for about 3 rides before working flawlessly. Usually cheaper than buying new from anywhere else.

Changing the bushing would be good start. It can be done with some studding and washers but you can buy the tool and a couple of bushes for £10 on eBay. Best to change them early before the top hats start to wear. Normally only one needs doing.
