What build rating do I need for the highest breaches?

A developer suggests at least 18,000 to 20,000 for the high-tier breaches that have no build-rating cap.

It's advice, not an entry rule: you can go in with less.
If you do, play carefully.

Good to know

From Stratum 3 up, breach tiers also have a minimum build rating, up to 16,000 for Deep Strata.
