FIRE PLANES Badges
All four live badges, including the rare ten-wave Town Defender.
FIRE PLANES ships four badges on universe 9671104117. They were created 14 May 2026, a few months after the 3 February launch. Two are freebies. Two are party checks. This page is the list with the official descriptions, not a guess at secret badges.
Party context lives on the players hub. Mode context lives on Game Modes.
Welcome
Description: You joined the game!
Type: Freebie (about 100% award rate).
How: Join the experience once.
There is nothing to optimize. If it does not appear, you are on a different place. Confirm you are in FIRE PLANES by a_mb0385, place 124375862078487.
Extinguish a Fire
Description: Put out a fire!
Type: Freebie.
How: Complete one successful dump that kills a fire cell.
If this does not pop, you are dumping on already-dead ash or you have not scooped yet. Hold Space over a live cell. Getting Started is enough.
Most Fires Extinguished
Description: Extinguish the most fires in a round. Must be over 100 fires and at least 3 players!
Type: Challenging (about 22% award rate, still a minority of visits).
How:
- Bring at least two other pilots. Solo does not qualify.
- Vote Mega Fire if you can scoop under smoke; Realistic can work but the cell count is lower.
- Stay alive and keep cycling tanks. 100 fires is a volume check.
- Be the leader on the round’s extinguish count. Sharing dumps is fine; coming second is not a badge.
The large amphibian helps because each pass can clear more cells. Rankings: plane tier list. Do not grief teammates to pad your count. You still need them in the server.
Town Defender
Description: Contribute to surviving all 10 waves in Town Defense!
Type: Rare (about 0.6% award rate).
How: Vote Town Defense, last all ten waves, actually help.
This is the badge that defines the mode. Read Protect Towns before you queue it. A starter can contribute on early waves; later waves want a tanker or a very honest scoop cycle. If the village is gone, the badge is gone. Reset.
“Contribute” is not documented as a numeric meter. Play as if it is watching: dump on the village, not on a hillside souvenir.
Badge plan for a new account
- Join → Welcome.
- One Realistic dump → Extinguish a Fire.
- Learn invert pitch on Controls.
- Stack three for Mega Fire → Most Fires Extinguished.
- Stack a competent six for Town Defense → Town Defender.
Do not chase 4 and 5 on day one. Average playtime is ten minutes; these badges want a planned session.
What is not a badge
- Owning Double Money.
- Buying the $500k amphibian.
- Redeeming a code (there are none).
- Running a script.
If a fifth badge appears after a patch, it will be listed here and dated on the changelog. Award counts move every day; treat the rates above as a snapshot from the live badge API, not as a forever number.
Official art of the helicopter on this page is a reminder that airframes are part of the job, not a badge by themselves. Unlock them with Earn Money Fast when you are ready. A badge pop is a side effect of a clean scoop and a town-first dump, not a separate minigame.
Award snapshot (September 2026)
Live badge API counts move every day. The snapshot we logged while writing:
| Badge | Awarded (all time) | Past day | Win rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Welcome | ~3.06 million | ~58k | ~100% |
| Extinguish a Fire | ~2.74 million | ~51k | ~100% |
| Most Fires Extinguished | ~446k | ~7k | ~20% |
| Town Defender | ~63k | ~226 | ~0.6% |
Welcome and Extinguish a Fire being freebies is not a theory — almost everyone who stays long enough to dump once gets both. Town Defender’s 0.6 percent rate is why this wiki treats ten-wave survival as a crew problem, not a solo afternoon. Most Fires Extinguished sits in the middle because Mega Fire can print cells, but the three-player rule still gates it.
If a fifth badge appears, it will show on this table the same day the universe lists it. Do not trust a YouTube overlay that invents a “secret helicopter badge.” We have not seen one on universe 9671104117.
Play session that actually pops them
Queue with at least two friends. Vote Realistic once so everyone can scoop. Then vote Mega Fire for the volume badge, then Town Defense for the rare one. That order keeps new pilots from wiping wave one and wasting the stack. Invert pitch should already be decided on Controls before you chase either of the hard badges.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers for FIRE PLANES pilots.
How many badges does FIRE PLANES have?
Four on the live universe: Welcome, Extinguish a Fire, Most Fires Extinguished, and Town Defender.
Why won’t Most Fires Extinguished award?
You need 100+ fires in that round, at least three players, and the highest extinguish count. A quiet Realistic solo will never qualify.
Is Town Defender soloable?
Technically you can be in a thin server, but ten waves with one scooper is a wipe machine. Bring a crew from the players hub.
