How to get MRP in Ace Combat 8: Wings of Theve
If you have followed this guide until now, you must be wondering how to get so much MRP. MRP stands for Military Result Points, and you get this currency whenever you destroy targets. You can do so in Free Missions and across campaigns. The exact payout will depend on how many targets you destroy, and the base difficulty.
To unlock the full list of aircraft, you’ll need 8,900,000 MRP, but actually, you’ll need more. The Aircraft Tree also offers weapons and upgrade parts, and some of them are necessary to purchase. Hence, you should look to earn as much MRP as possible from every run. Once you’re better at the game, you should also aim to increase the difficulty to earn more MRP.
