In this work, we consider the generalized (3 + 1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation, which can describe the propagation of gravity wave on the surface of water. Based on the Bell polynomial theory, a powerful technique is employed to explicitly construct its bilinear formalism and two-soliton solutions, based on which the new rational solution is well-constructed. Moreover, the extended homoclinic test approach is presented to succinctly construct the breather wave and rogue wave solutions of the Boussinesq equation. Then the main characteristics of these solutions are graphically discussed. More importantly, they reveal that the extreme behavior of the breather wave can give rise to the rogue wave.
