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 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.
