The Pod is a special item in Into The Breach that can randomly drop during missions.

Pod

Description

During each mission, there is a chance for a pod to appear from the future, dropping it onto a random tile. Rescuing the Pod as an Objective will grant a Reactor Core and can also randomly grant Weapons, Characters / Mech Pilots or other Abilities.

If the Vek end on the tile where the Pod is, or if it takes damage from a Mech or a Vek attack, the Pod will be destroyed. Projectile weapons can pass safely over top of the pod, but not piercing weapons. A Pod is still destroyed if the Vek who steps on it has Flying. If the Pod remains untouched until the end of the mission, it is recovered as well.

Trivia

• The Pod will typically drop on the side of the map closest to where the Vek spawn.
• Rescuing the Pod counts towards clearing an Island perfectly - if one is destroyed, it counts as a failed objective.
• The Pod cannot be frozen.
• Although tides do not do damage directly, they will still destroy the Pod. The same is not true of Ice Storms.
• Lighting the pod's tile on fire will destroy the pod, even if no actual damage was done to the tile.
• Friendly objects, such as the Renfield Bombs, can collect a pod if they're pushed onto it.
