Contract
A contract was a special type of item in Ace Combat Infinity that allowed players to earn additional rewards when completing Online Co-Op Missions. Using a contract would activate its effect for the next 12 hours. Using multiple contracts would extend the timer; for example, using three Elite Mercenary Contracts would activate the Elite Mercenary effects for 36 hours.
Types
Two types of contracts were available in the full release of Infinity: Elite Mercenary Contracts, which would increase the credits awarded after a mission; and Additional Plant Investment Contracts, which would increase the rate of Aircraft Tree research after a mission.
During the beta testing periods, a third contract type was available. Intelligence Agency Contracts increased the chance of encountering a Special Raid after completing a mission. Intelligence Agency Contracts were never made available in the full game.
