Occasionally, a Time Pod will crash onto the map during a mission. If you manage to protect it until the end of the mission, it will grant you a valuable reward, often a new weapon, Power Cores, or even a unique secret pilot. These pilots, like Bethany or Harold, have powerful, often game-breaking, passive abilities. Prioritize protecting Time Pods, but don't sacrifice your Power Grid for them. They are high-risk, high-reward objectives.
