Into the Breach: Advanced Edition Changelog & Trailer video
The following is the primary change list, but there’s a lot of small bug-fixes and tweaks here and there.
Major Additions
- 5 New squads & 15 new squad achievements!
- 7 new Vek, 3 new Psions, & 10 new boss battles!
- 12 new missions & 3 new bonus mission goals!
- 4 New pilots & 10 new random pilot abilities!
- 39 New weapons & equipment!
- 2 new music tracks from composer Ben Prunty!
- Even more challenging difficulty mode, Unfair Mode!
- 7 New Languages! (Arabic, Thai, Swedish, Korean, Traditional Chinese, Turkish, and Latin American Spanish)
Other Changes
- Optional Content Toggles - All of the new content (enemies, pilot skills, etc) other than balance changes are possible to turn off if you would like the base-game content experience.
- Weapon reactor usage reduced - We wanted to encourage players to immediately try out equipment they find, so we reduced the reactor power to equip most gear.
- Store Changes - Since you can now instantly equip most weapons without needing an additional reactor core, the reputation cost to purchase weapons has increased by 1 and the store options are limited in the first 2 islands.
- New weapon mechanic: KO effects - Certain weapons will trigger an additional effect if the primary target is killed by the attack.
- New tile mechanic: Cracking - Certain weapons will cause the ground to crack. If the tile is damaged again, it will shatter, destroying the tile and anything standing on it!
- New status effect: Boost - This will increase the next attack’s damage by 1. Highly effective for AoE attacks!
- Unlocking Squads with Coins Change - The cost of unlocking squads with coins has been reduced to account for the extra squads.
Unfair Mode Tips
This mode is for veterans looking for even more of a challenge but it might require different strategies than you're used to.
- There will be many more situations where damage is inevitable so it’ll be more important to take losses strategically - depending on the situation, it might be better to lose grid power, sacrifice a pilot, or fail a mission objective.
- Grid power gains are doubled which means it’s much easier to pull back from the brink of defeat. Don’t give up after a few setbacks.
- There is a limit to how many Vek can spawn so sometimes it’s more advantageous to leave some weak Vek alive rather than wiping them out early.

Into the Breach: Advanced Edition Patch (v1.2.75) being rolled out for all platforms:
We've got a patch for Into the Breach: Advanced Edition rolling out to all platforms. Some will receive it faster than others due to testing requirements, but hopefully everyone will get these fixes as soon as possible! More information can be seen here: https://old.reddit.com/r/IntoTheBreach/comments/w4gynd/news_…
We've been pushing hotfixes to Steam as we fix critical issues and test those fixes. But we've now rolled out the following patch to all platforms. Steam, GOG, and Epic have the update available immediately, as we have control over those. But other platforms (Switch, iOS, Android, Stadia, etc.) will take anywhere between a day or two to a week or two, with Nintendo generally being the slowest.
Into the Breach: Advanced Edition Patch (v1.2.76) being rolled out for all platforms:
Another patch is rolling out for Into the Breach. This one is less critical, but still clears out some annoying bugs that players are hitting frequently. Full change log here: https://old.reddit.com/r/IntoTheBreach/comments/wb6bgw/news_…
Hello everyone! Everyone should now be fully up to date as the Switch version got the critical patch last night. If you haven't updated on your Switch yet, try to force a manual update, you're looking for it to read 1.2.75 in the main menu bottom right corner. Version 1.2.76 is rolling out starting today. It's a less important patch, trying to clean up some of the most reported bugs. As before, PC stores will get the patch first and then it will make its way to other platforms over the next week.
Looks like the Steam edition also now has the 33% discount.
