Boosts are temporary character-locked benefits available to players. They are unlocked through purchase with Daybreak Cash ( Icon Daybreak Cash ).

Boosts allow you to temporarily increase the rate at which you earn Experience Points, Nanites, both Experience Points and Nanites, or both Experience Points and Merit, by 50% for the listed duration. Some boosts also allow you to gain an additional 5% boost whenever you are in a squad, which will also be granted to all of your squadmates.

Most boosts are available for purchase in the Depot, but longer duration 'Heroic' boosts are available from Anniversary Bundles.

Players can equip up to two boosts at a time, which stack additively. If a player has two boosts of the same type equipped, they can receive 100% increased gains to that resource type (and provide up to 10% bonus squad experience, if applicable).

Unlike most items purchased with Daybreak Cash, Boosts are limited solely to the character they are purchased on, including those obtained from bundles.

To access boosts, go to the My Character menu tab, then Boost, or simply click the Boost placeholders at the top-right of the main menu. Only one boost can be equipped in each slot at a time, although players can override a boost at any time.
