Squads

A look at the squads and the unlock requirements to open them.

Squads in Into The Breach determine the mechs you can take with you onto the battlefield.

You start with the Rift Walkers squad. Additional squads are unlocked by completing Achievements. Each completed Achivement earns 1 coin.

Each squad has a custom paint job. Unlocked mech colors can be applied to other squads.

Randomized Squads and Customized Squads

Once a second squad is acquired, the option to create a randomized squad or a customized squad open up.

A Customized Squad allows for the selection of any Mechs that have been unlocked, including multiple of the same class as well as multiple of the same Mech.

A Randomized 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 duplicates Mechs will have the Passive deactivated.

Secret Squad

The Secret Squad becomes available after unlocking the 8 named squads. 25 Coins are required to unlock the Secret Squad. This means you have to complete all of the remaining Global and Squad Based Achievements.
