Mission walkthrough

  1. Use the mounted minigun

    Start at Zero’s shop and take control of the rooftop weapon. Get comfortable with the manual aiming speed before the first planes reach the transmitters.

  2. Track the incoming waves

    Use the radar to identify approaching groups, then turn toward them early. Fire slightly ahead of moving planes and adjust until the stream of bullets intersects their path.

  3. Prioritise immediate bombers

    Deal with planes lining up on the transmitters rather than spending too long following one that has already passed. Sweep between the active approaches so a new group does not arrive unchallenged behind you.

  4. Hold until time expires

    Continue defending until the mission timer runs out. The objective is to preserve the installation through the attack; a perfect no-damage run is unnecessary.

Key point

If several planes approach together, spread fire across the group as they enter range. Focusing on a single distant target can let the rest complete their bombing run.

This branch is optional for reaching the story ending, but it is required for 100% game completion.
