Completion of these missions will earn the standard bonuses gained for mission completion, and will also count towards the global Firebreak score.

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. 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 Goggles, if you have not previously attempted any of the Online Story Missions.
There are seven Firebreak missions available, in ranks C, B, and A (no S or S2). Unlike the Japanese PC/PS2 version of this event, the standard missions remain available for play. Monsters in Firebreak missions give larger EXP rewards than usual.

General Mission Overview
- When you begin a Firebreak mission, you will be given a Photon Eraser as long as your inventory is not full. The Photon Eraser will be taken away upon completion of the mission; however, if you quit the game without clearing the mission, or abandon the mission, you will retain the Photon Eraser. You can get rid of it in the Operation Firebreak mission available from the GUARDIANS Colony 5th Floor.
- All SEED cores must be purified to complete each mission (except for Scorched Valley, which has no SEED cores).
- Each SEED core is surrounded by a number of hidden SEED pods. You must use the Goggles to locate these pods, and then use the Photon Eraser to purify them. The pods come in two sizes; small pods take one player to purify, while large pods must be purified by at least three players at once. (Having more players purify the same pod will speed up purification.) Once all the pods are purified, the SEED core's defenses will be nullified, and it can be destroyed in three hits.
- SEED pods have a good chance of leaving behind Ban-photons when broken.
- SEED cores may leave either Ban-photons or -carbon/-resin items of the appropriate type to the current planet when destroyed.
- With the exception of the end mini-bosses of the levels and rare enemies which may appear, all enemies are Fire element.
