* SeriesMascot: People outside of Japan generally know ''Border Break'' by way of Cougar NX. While Cougar NX itself is simply a normal Scout-type Blast Runner with Cougar NX-series parts, the Blast Runner is most well known for repping the ''Border Break'' series as a miniboss in fellow SEGA game ''VideoGame/PhantasyStarOnline2''. He's even had some figures of his own.

* DifficultButAwesome: Sword weapons on Scout loadouts. They are a melee-ranged weapon in a TPS, and are quite hard to use properly and even harder to connect with in a firefight. The Sword, however, inflicts massive Slash-type damage, which ignores N-DEF, and connecting a hit will [[PunchedAcrossTheRoom throw an enemy Blast Runner straight sideways across the field.]]



* LimitBreak: You can equip a BU that can be summoned after filling a gauge by battling or just waiting over time. The BU has immensely powerful effects but has limited use, such as summoning a double blaster cannon that can tear through enemies or planting a mine that deals massive AreaOfEffect damage in a wide range.
* {{Microtransactions}}: The [=PS4=] version lets you buy a premium currency with real money, which can be used to buy items and characters from the Market or pull on the Frame Lotto.

A HumongousMecha, squad-based ThirdPersonShooter with a control system that combines a joystick, a mouse and a touch-sensitive main screen similar to newer ''Franchise/{{Gundam}}'' arcade machines. The main draw is all machines are networked, allowing for large numbers of players over multiple locations across several nations.

Each player has control of a "[[HumongousMecha Blast]] [[AMechByAnyOtherName Runner]]" configured for a specific role: Assault, Heavy, Sniper and Support. Teams must cooperate to complete map objectives, while preventing opponents from completing theirs. Good performance allows players to increase their rank and obtain new parts for their Runners. Due to the scope of the game, data is stored on a personal card, allowing progress to be carried over from one session to the next.

As of 2012, Version 1.27 has been released, with a new chip-based system that grants passive abilities and stats to Runners, but also new active techniques that can be executed when the right chips are equipped. Furthermore, a "Satellite Bunker" system has been implemented, essentially a portable KillSat marker.
