Grab the Time Pods
Into the Breach Beginner Tips
Speaking of pilots, you have a chance of recruiting new ones with every time pod that drops into a stage. Time pods seem to be random, as far as we can tell, but if you can protect them until the end of the stage, you’ll be rewarded with a few valuable goodies.
You’ll almost always get a reactor core, which is used to upgrade one of your mechs in Into the Breach. And you also have a chance of finding a pilot. You’ll start the game with one pilot, and your other two mechs will be unmanned. Make sure to assign a pilot to one of those mechs once you’ve recruited them, as they often come packed with unique abilities to help you out on the field. Don’t let the Vek destroy the time pods on the field, and make sure you don’t accidentally knock them into the sea or into an obstacle either.
