Try to Clear the Optional Objectives
Into the Breach Beginner Tips
This will probably be a bit of a tough one if you’re just starting out in the game, but each stage in Into the Breach provides you with one or two optional objectives you can try to meet for extra rewards. If you can clear them, you might get a bonus to your grid power, or you could earn reputation points, which are used for purchasing useful items and upgrades once you’ve cleared the island.
These optional objectives can range from anything like protecting a train or a couple of tanks until the end of the battle, or keep a volatile Vek alive for the entire stage. You won’t suffer any overly negative consequences or penalties for failing to complete these objectives, and you certainly shouldn’t make any compromises on your grid power while trying to fulfill them. Go for the objectives if you have the opportunity to do so, as they’ll help you out a ton in the long run, but don’t take any unnecessary risks.
