Aya in the Shooting gallery
Consisting of the booth, range, weapons room and control room, the Shooting gallery is a location within M.I.S.T. Headquarters. The player can use it as a tutorial, means of training and early access to BP and items. The controls for the training sessions are manned by Pierce in the control room behind the booth.
It can be used before the trip to Akropolis Tower and before the trip to Dryfield. Afterwards, it becomes inaccessible for the rest of the game.
Information/Details
Start/End a Round
To start a round, have Aya walk up to the 2nd booth (the middle one). This will trigger a scene with Pierce to start a game. The player will be able to select their music, weapon and level. On levels 1-2, the player will immediately start a round. On higher levels, the player will be asked to enter the gallery and examine the big "A" letter at the other end. From there, instructions will be given before the round starts.
To end a game, at lower levels a player may press SELECT and choose to end the round. On higher levels, the player will need to walk/run out of the gallery.
Weapons Available
The following weapons may be used in the Shooting Gallery, provided the player has them in their inventory:
- M93R
- M950
- P229
- Mongoose
- PA3
- SP12
- AS12
- M4A1 Rifle (Without attachments)
- M249
- MP5A5 (Without attachments)
Notes
- The M950, P229, SP12 and MP5A5 cannot be used under regular circumstances in the gallery, while the P08, despite being available as an early drop in Bounty/Nightmare difficulties, was not included.
- The game checks for guns in all the inventory slots, including on-hand inventory and Aya's sedan.
Music
Prior to starting a session, the player will have to choose an accompanying music track to play alongside. The available tracks are based on the player's current game mode.
- Normal
- 1. Crazy King
- 2. Ambush!
- 3. Pick Up The Gauntlet
- Replay
- 1. Crazy King
- 2. Eager For Blood
- 3. Heaven-Sent Killer
- Bounty
- 1. Crazy King
- 2. Pick Up The Gauntlet
- 3. Crawling Waste Emperor
- Scavenger
- 1. Crazy King
- 2. Quadrumanous Leader
- 3. Hunter's Moon
- Nightmare
- 1. Yellow Rain
- 2. Rebel Forces
- 3. Genic Reactor
Spells Available
- Pyrokinesis, Lv.1
- Combustion, Lv.1
- Energyshot, Lv.1
Notes:
- Since the developers never intended for other spells to be used, if the player locates and hacks in the rest of the spells, they will discover that spells like Apobiosis and Lifedrain work perfectly.
Items/Attachments Available
Aya has 10 available slots (#s 20-29) for the gallery. What is included depends on what level the player selects:
- All levels
- Selected gun
- Shoulder Holster
- Selected Ammo, max. value, Attachment Slot #1
- Level 3
- GPS (Must be attached before the session will start)
- Level 4
- GPS, Attachment Slot #2
- Cola, Attachment Slot #3
- Cola, Attachment Slot #4
- Level 5
Notes
- Selected gun refers to the gun that is chosen before the level is selected. The ammunition included is based off the selected weapon (5.56 Rifle rounds for M4A1, 9mm rounds for M93R, Buckshot for SP12, etc) and Aya will be given the maximum amount possible.
- Despite being included in inventory, the Shoulder Holster's attachment value is not set to 0xFF (which indicates Aya's currently equipped armor). However, her current armor value is set to 0x0D (Shoulder Holster) as a placeholder. This value is reset to the equipped armor in her regular inventory when the player leaves the booth.
Prizes
Players that manage to score a minimum level of points are entitled to win Bounty Points and (depending on how high the score is) a prize in the form of ammunition, items or armor. Prizes can be collected at anytime from Bouquet's Guns and Ammo before the player leaves for Dryfield.
- Level 1: 9mm Hydra x50
- Level 2: Ringer's Solution
- Level 3: Hunter Goggles
- Level 4: Lipstick
- Level 5: Shoulder Holster
A BP/item prize may only be collected once per level. For instance, if the player earns 100BP at level 1, they will be unable to earn the 200BP, 300BP or 9mm Hydra prize. The only way to try again would be to re-load from the last save.
In the event the player already has a Shoulder Holster, a Belt Pouch can be won in it's place.

Notes
- The first part of level 1 is a basic tutorial with plenty of time to shoot targets. Any experiences should have no trouble clearing this part.
- After the counter starts, the first two groups of targets have a 2nd target that disappear after 1 second. Try to wait for the 2nd target to appear, shoot it first, then take out the first one, since it has a much longer delay before it disappears.
- Try to reload during each break. With the exception of the final round, the player should have enough ammo (with the M93R) to get through each section. Fortunately, the last three targets are so close, it's possible the last two shots may be enough to take out the very last one.

Good luck, Aya!
- Aya: Level 3.
- Pierce: OK. Good luck! You'll need it...
Timer: 3 minutes.
Targets: Monsters & Civilian
Level 3 teaches about character movement, examining location details and how to attach items to your armor. The target setup is replaced with monsters worth different values and civilians that the player must avoid shooting.
Instructions:
- Walk to the far left booth and proceed into the range area. Movement instructions: Press up to move forward. Press down to move backwards. Press left to turn left. Press right to turn right.
- Inside the range: Press X to examine an object in front of you. Enter the range and examine the "A" mark on the far wall.
- A, GPS not attached: A GPS is included in the items you carry. Add the GPS to your armor attachments.
- A, GPS not attached, 2nd+ time: Add the GPS to your armor attachments.
- A: When the GPS is attached, a motion detector will be displayed. The motion detector shows moving objects in a 25' radius.
- Targets pop up: Targets are shown as yellow dots. The user is shown in the center, with "up" representing forward. Use the motion detector to help you find and select targets as they appear on the range. Also, blue targets will appear on this level. These represent humans. Shooting these will result in a penalty in your score. Be careful.

- Inside the range: Enter the range and examine the "A" mark on the far wall.
- A: PROGRAM START
- Using PE. Try destroying a target using Parasite Energy (PE). Press △ to bring up the PE selection menu.
- Press △ Use the left and right directional buttons to select a PE. The lighted frame shows the selected PE's range of effect. Choose a PE to fit the battle. Press X to activate the PE you have selected. Careful--you will be unable to move until the PE ability is complete.
- Cast a spell: Using a PE reduces your MP. Remaining MP is in the upper left. You cannot use a PE that costs more than your remaining MP. After battle, you will automatically recover some MP. Certain liquid-base items can be used to recover MP.

- Pierce: RealBattle mode, eh? You're the boss!
Timer: 3 minutes.

- Inside the range: Enter the range and examine the "A" mark on the far wall.

Target Values
Generally, the more HP a target has, the more points they are worth. Targets are not vulnerable to status effects, but unlike mechanical targets such as Watchers, they can be affected by PE attacks.
| Name | HP | Points Value |
| Yellow Targets | 12 | 200 |
| Brown Targets | 20 | 400 |
| Red Targets | 28 | 600 |
| Rat | 12 | 500 |
| Crow | 12 | 600 |
| Monkey | 16 | 900 |
| Bear | 24 | 1600 |
| Spider | 28 | 1300 |
| Bacterium | 32 | 600 |
| Snake | 36 | 500 |
| Scorpion | 60 | 2400 |
| Bee | 20 | 3000 |
| Woman | 1 | -3000 |
Glitches
- Early targets:: One of the timers does not properly pause when the player is on the PE selection page. It will still setup and trigger targets in a specific batch. This applies to Level 4 and 5 and can even happen on levels 1 and 2 is the player hits SELECT to pause the game.
- Weapon Selection Crash: While not possible under normal circumstances, if the player manages to remove the M93R from their inventory and carry only weapons not applicable to the gallery, the game will lock the player in a weapon selection menu with no options and no means to cancel.
Notes
- Protein Capsule and Lipstick boosts apply to the Shooting gallery. If the player already has a Shoulder Holster with Belt Pouches attached to it, those will carry over.
- There are maximum target values for levels 1 and 2, but 3-5 will eventually loop around target groups. How many targets appear depends on both how much available time there is and how quickly Aya can clear areas to trigger the next batch. On higher levels, there are 'sets' of targets and these will eventually loop around, giving Aya an potentially endless number of them.
- Weapon damage is affected by Attenuation penalties, but not by game mode penalties (The damage amount remains the same across all difficulties).
