Boostpack

In Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, a boostpack is an item that the writers of New Amsterdam use to get around and perform various feats. It is a small jetpack-like device that aids in movement, largely through boosting the user's movement forward or allowing the user to perform boost tricks. It does not normally allow for full flight, or at least not during actual gameplay.
Boostpacks need charges in order to operate, and said charges can be found throughout the city, either in certain spots on the field, or in dumpsters and vending machines. The amount of charge that the player has for boosting is tracked via the Boost Meter.
All of the playable characters in the game have their own boostpacks, each with a unique design. It is considered very unusual for a writer to do what they do without one. Due to both his legendary skills and the fact that he gained them without using a boostpack, Felix had a particularly impressive reputation in the city's graffiti scene.
==Trivia==
* Rietveld's jetpack acts the same as the boostpacks of other characters once she is unlocked as a playable character. Combined with what's seen in one of the ending cutscenes with some of the other characters, it seems boostpacks aren't that much different from a jetpack in how they work. The only difference is in terms of gameplay, where the player can't fly freely with their boostpacks the same as some characters can during cutscenes.
* Most characters have their boostpack on their backs, placed over their clothes, or their skin in the case of the Franks and Solace. The only exceptions to this are Vinyl and the playable Oldhead.
**Vinyl has her boostpack hidden under her jacket, making it only visible if you readjust the camera or otherwise move her around.
**Meanwhile, the playable Oldhead does not wear a boostpack on his back at all. Instead, the boombox that he carries around acts as his boostpack.
