The Random Squad is a special Squad in Into the Breach
Description[ | ]
The Random Squad option becomes available after unlocking a second Squad.
A Random Squad is created out of all the unlocked Mechs.
The Balanced Roll option selects three unique Mechs from three different classes (Prime, Brute, Ranged, Science, and Cyborg). The balanced squad won't have more than 4 weapons so this prevents the Flame Mech, Rocket Mech, Defense Mech, Gravity Mech, and Nano Mech from appearing together in a balanced squad.
The Chaos Roll option has no restrictions on class, weaponry, or Mech combinations so you get a truly randoms quad. However, if you get duplicate Mechs with the same Passive ability, one of the duplicate Mechs will have the Passive deactivated.

Strategies[ | ]
- For the most powerful start, roll until you get a squad similar to one of the stronger premade squads.
- For example, Combat Mech, Cannon Mech, Boulder Mech is just one mech away from being the Rift Walkers, but the general utility of Boulder Mech can make it even stronger.
- Some mechs have strong synergies, such as Smog Mech and Rocket Mech, as both have passive equipment (Nanofilter Mending and Storm Generator respectively) that add extra utility to smoke.
- You might find a squad you would really like if one of the mechs was swapped out. Before rolling again, you may consider changing your time traveler to a pilot who can improve the weaker mech.
- For example, Abe Isamu can reduce self-damaging weapons like the Ramming Engines on the Charge Mech.
- The random rolls can only select mechs from unlocked squads, so it may be a good idea to unlock a few specific mechs you think would be powerful together and use those to unlock the achievements for the Random Squad early.
- The Change the Odds achievement can be gotten by buying grid power with reputation after completing an island; the player can even undo reputation spent after hitting 30% grid defense, and the achievement will still remain unlocked.
