Into The Breach: Every Pilot And How To Unlock Them
Pilots are an essential component to your strategy in Into The Breach.

At the beginning of the game, only the time traveler Ralph Karlsson is available, and if he dies it could be a few runs before you see him again. Most pilots can be unlocked through normal play, but some require a little searching before they'll join you.
Most of the game's unique pilots will appear when one of two conditions are met. If you complete an island after successfully fulfilling every optional objective in every battle there, including killing the boss and defending the Corporate Tower, you may have an option to recruit a new pilot as your bonus.

The second way to unlock a pilot is entirely down to luck. Every few battles a Time Pod will crash to the ground. If you send a mech to collect it or win the battle without allowing the pod to be destroyed, you'll receive its contents. This could be a Reactor Core, a new weapon, a new pilot, or some combination of the three. Once a pilot has been rescued from a Time Pod, they will always be available from the hangar when you start a new playthrough.
The pilots that can be recruited in this way are:
Into The Breach Advanced Edition is a free update that is automatically applied to the game, but its content can be toggled on or off from the hangar.
