Air Force One is a GATE in Gold Saucer added in Patch 4.5. Air Force One is a shooter ride wherein players board the Air Force and attempt to shoot as many targets as possible while riding along a preset course.
Upon reaching the end, players will receive MGP commensurate with their rank and score.
In patch 7.4, a new map, the Cieldalaes, was added.
How to Participate
Speak with Sabotender Guia in the Gold Saucer (X:4.9 Y:4.8) at the scheduled time to register.
- You cannot register while in a party.
Scoring
Shooting targets will reward points, but shooting a Ruby Bomb will deduct points.
- Although shooting Ruby Bombs will lower score, it cannot go below 0.
Targets spawn in waves at various locations, may move around, and will despawn if not shot after a certain amount of time. Targets frequently overlap with Ruby Bombs, so the player needs to aim carefully.
Around the middle of each course is a "bonus phase", where a large amount of targets and Ruby Bombs will appear in quick succession.
| Target | Points |
|---|---|
| Bronze target (1-star) | 50 |
| Silver target (2-star) | 100 |
| Gold target (3-star) | 300 |
| Ruby Bomb | -20 |
Rewards
MGP is rewarded depending on the player's final score at the end of the course.
Every route on each course has 5,000 points worth of targets.
| Rank | Score | MGP |
|---|---|---|
| Perfect | 5,000 | |
| S | 4,000~4,999 | |
