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.
Custom Squads and Randomized Squads
Once a second squad is acquired, the option to create a randomized squad or a customized squad open up. Custom squads allow the selection of any Mechs that have been unlocked, including multiple of the same class as well as multiple of the same Mech.
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 25 Global Achievements and the 30 Squad Based Achievements.
