'''Forced Sortie''' is a timed event that allows players to earn more rewards by spending extra fuel. While Forced Sortie is active, using 2 fuels instead of 1 during an Online Co-Op Mission will award the player with 2.10x the credits, 2.10x the research, and two limited time drops. Using 3 fuels instead of 1 will aware the player with 3.50x the credits, 3.50x the research, and three limited time drops. Players cannot spend more than three fuel cells on one mission.

Prior to April 2016, Forced Sortie was mostly restricted to weekends, allowing users to use up to 3 fuel per mission.

Additionally, a player's statistics will show as though the mission they just used their fuel on counted twice or three times. For example, if the match ended in an [[Clear Ranks|S rank]] and a player used 3 fuel instead of 1, then their number of S ranks in their stats will show as if they had just earned 3 S ranks instead of 1.

Forced Sortie is an optional feature - players do not have to participate in the event, and can continue to use one fuel cell per mission as normal, which will not affect their rewards or statistics in any way.

Sortie Fuel

The Sortie Fuel system is a unique gameplay mechanic to Ace Combat Infinity that restricts the player to participating in a number of missions equivalent to how much fuel they own. All missions in Infinity in every game mode, except Test Flight, require the use of one fuel per mission.

Description

There are two types of fuel: Supplied Fuel and Stocked Fuel.

Supplied Fuel is given to players for free at timed intervals; when one Supplied Fuel is used, the player is given another Supplied Fuel four hours afterward. A player can only have three Supplied Fuel at any given time.

Stocked Fuel is earned through Challenges, from random drops, or by purchasing it with real money. Stocked Fuel is unlimited, but does not automatically regenerate. Using Stocked Fuel will award slightly extra credits and will automatically add some bonus research to the aircraft the player uses within that mission, but there are no effects on the mission itself whether Stocked or Supplied Fuel is used.

Prices

The current non-sale prices for Stocked Fuel, as well as how much you save on each pack as opposed to purchasing 1 unit of fuel over and over, are as follows:[1]

Forced Sortie is a mechanic that allows players to earn more rewards by spending more than one fuel per online mission. Forced Sortie is optional; players can use one fuel per mission and will not be affected by Forced Sortie. In addition, Challenges do not take Forced Sortie into account when tracking progress.

Prior to April 2016, Forced Sortie was mostly restricted to weekends, allowing users to use up to 3 fuel per mission. Sometimes these Forced Sortie events were extended or took place in the middle of the week. When special 6x Supplied Fuel events took place, players could also use up to 6 fuel in Forced Sortie.

Starting April 2016, Forced Sortie has become a permanent feature. Players can use up to 3 fuel per mission every day, and up to 6 fuel per mission every weekend (alongside 6x Supplied Fuel).

The rewards for using different fuel amounts are as follows:

Fuel Used Credits Research Ranking Points Red Drops Part Slot Exp Points
1 1.00x 1.00x 1.00x 1 1.00x
