Operation Firebreak

Operation Firebreak is a special event being run currently on the English PC/PS2 and the Xbox 360 PSU servers. It started the morning of Friday, May 25, 2007 and will run through June 29, 2007. Players must run special missions to "purify" fire SEED cores on each of the three planets, Parum, Neudaiz, and Moatoob. The cores require the use of the goggles to locate. Completion of these missions will earn the standard bonuses gained for mission completion, and will also count towards the global Firebreak score. The cumulative point total is shared between the English language PC and PlayStation 2 versions of PSU and both language versions of the Xbox 360 release.

Before undertaking a Firebreak mission for the first time, players should take the short tutorial on the event available from the Guardians Colony 5th floor. The tutorial will also give you the goggles, if you have not previously attempted any of the Online Story Missions.

There are seven Firebreak missions available. Monsters in Firebreak missions give higher Experience Points than usual. SEED cores, when purified, very frequently yield Ban-photons or the -carbon/-resin item matching the planet.
