Into the Breach is a fantastic roguelike game released in 2018. You need to save the world using your crew of time travelers in the game. However, to unlock new squads you need to get coins to purchase the squads.

Coins are not given out easily, so it can be difficult for new players to understand why they are getting coins.

How do I get coins in Into the Breach?

Gold is earned by completing achievements that can be seen in the achievement menu. However, you need to unlock the squads with gold. It is a chicken and egg situation that is kind of annoying.

Despite this, the best achievements to go after are the global ones that are not based on the squad you are using. If you want to go after this while roughing it out with the base squad I wrote a guide on using the Rift Walkers.

How to maximize coins earned?

This is a tricky thing to do, as a lot of achievements are very specific. It will come down to picking 1-2 achievements and building a run around them. From there you can collect upgrades around the goal you want to complete.

They are achievements for a reason. Some of the achievements will just be completed by playing the game normally. I would try to get as many of those as possible and see what has been left after.

You usually have a squad that you seem to like more than others, and I would try to do the achievements with those before moving on. Despite this, you need to spend coins in order to know what squad you want the most.

In order to buy everything in the game, you must complete every single achievement which is kind of daunting. However, if you want to buy all of the squads in the game except for the secret one then you are fine.
