Jump to navigation Jump to search

On August 11, 2014, Project Aces announced limited-time challenge events for Ace Combat Infinity. Similar to Ranking Tournaments, they would only occur for a few days and the rewards would not be available following the event's end; however, instead of competing with other users to get the most points, players only have to complete a specific challenge to earn a reward. To earn all of the event's rewards, challenges must be completed one after the other in a specific order.

August 2014

August 2014 Challenge Event - Banner.png

From August 13, 2014 at 4 AM GMT to August 19, 2014 at 8 AM GMT, the first Challenge Event took place, featuring a Typhoon skin from Rot Team as well as emblems from the Lancer, Beast, Cocoon, and Albireo Squadrons.

The challenges were separated into three sets: Beginner, Intermediate, and Expert. Within each set, completing one 1.x challenge would unlock the 2.1 challenge, while completing two 1.x challenges would unlock the 2.1, 2.2, and 2.3 challenges. These rules applied to all other tiers (i.e. completing one 2.x challenge unlocks 3.1, while completing any two 2.x challenges unlocks 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3). Completing three challenges in one tier had no bearing on unlocking any extra challenges within that set's next tier.

Exclusive to the event, challenges with a time limit were locked from being re-attempted if the player failed to complete it in the time limit. This occurs with the standard challenges in the game as well, but unlike those, the challenges in the event did not have a cooldown period allowing the player to re-attempt the challenge the next day. Therefore, if a player suspected they would not be able to complete a challenge in the time limit, they should have canceled it before the time ran out to ensure that they could still complete it another time.

All gold-colored challenges contained the featured rewards for this event. All red-colored challenges featured a time limit and were locked to the player if they didn't finish it in time.

Trivia

  • August 2014's Challenge Event was not explained in detail by Project Aces, requiring fans to figure out the details by themselves. As such, the information above may not be fully accurate.
  • During the November 2014 Challenge Event, the "Complete a mission with at least 10 second(s) remaining" challenge was bugged; it would only complete if the player attempting the challenge was the host of the room. After a fix on November 13, the challenge was renamed to "In Online Co-Op Missions, obtain a rank of B or higher", and all players were able to complete it.
  • During the November 2014 Challenge Event, the "Sortie in the Su-37 aircraft and be awarded the MVP 1 time(s)" challenge was also bugged. The player attempting it did not have to be awarded the MVP; they simply had to be on the winning team.

Footnotes

  1. The ACE COMBAT 20th Anniversary Challenge Event is based on the formation seen on the opening and ending movies of Air Combat. The YF-22 Lightning II is replaced with the F-22A Raptor, but the R-C01 was incorrectly replaced with the Typhoon instead of the Rafale M.
