Foo Fighters (Premium) pinball machine has 2 recorded tournament games in Blaine, MN. A game runs about 1h 13m, the median of 2 timed games, so budget for that in a round with a clock on it.
Left ramp is very backhandable.
Even if you've collected or missed the other skill shots the left crossover shot stays list for a skill shot combo sequence at the beginning of the ball. Shoot it then the upper loop or side ramp, and repeat for up to 6 shots.
You can start Area 51 multiball while one of the Overlord multiball modes is running, but not the other way around.
Start with New York since you can progress using just the spinner.
To activate 2x Playfield, shoot the Right Orbit into the "Rock-O-Meter" lane 3 times. 40 seconds. Repeat during this timer for 3x Playfield.
Soft plunge to flipper for a free shot
Finishing Roswell gives you 2X on the left ramp the rest of the game.
Soft plunge into the drop targets to get one of the van modifications to boost your next mode, or go for bigger points with a plunge directly to the left outlane.
Best mode combos are: LA / Seattle with Area 51, New York with Bot Frenzy, Sonic Radio with New Orleans. Great point scoring / MB building
The inlane Raygun Targets, when lit, allow a single 2x shot. Alley pass and hit both for a 4x shot. Relight via each side's inlane rollover.
Hit UFO captive ball a few times to light the action button, then hit the action button to spot a lit shot.
You can hold up to 3 UFO button charges (yellow = 1, green = 2, red = 3) and bring them into a mode or multiball.
Locking a ball before any Van mode makes it that much more beneficial.
To increase Bonus X, hit the paddle target while one/two drops are still standing, to spot the white lights in the middle of the mod-ulator.
UFO button charges 2x as fast if you already have 1-2 charges. If you have 1 charge (yellow), consider saving it.
When you're playing New Orleans, aim for the side shots since they double progress. Other shots you hit twice.
During your more challenging modes on the LE or premium try getting the uppers field since the shots there give you progress in the mode.
