	Most infiltration missions have a limited duration. You must launch the mission before it expires, but you don't have to watch the clock: if you have a squad deployed to infiltrate then the game will prompt you to launch or abort just before the mission expires. The time remaining for a mission is shown in the geoscape and in the top left of mission load-out screen. The load-out screen also displays the time to infiltrate, updated as you add or remove soldiers and equipment. This is how long the squad needs to reach 100% infiltration and eliminate all tactical penalties. If the squad's infiltration time is greater than the mission's time remaining then you won't be able to fully infiltrate. You can still deploy, but the mission will be more difficult. Infiltration can also be greater than 100%, up to 200% if the squad is allowed to remain infiltrating, which will make the mission easier.		Most infiltration missions have a limited duration.

	A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created; the mission is not visible at this time. The local haven must collect enough intel to reveal the mission. Assigning more resistance members to the "intel" job can make missions considerably easier by discovering missions earlier and allowing more time to infiltrate. Most infiltration missions have a base duration of 18 days, which is randomized by a few days each time a mission is created. For more information on generating missions, see the [[Missions (~~LW2~~)\| Missions]] page.		A mission's expiration timer starts when it is created; the mission is not visible at this time.

	Each breakpoint corresponds to an increase or decrease in the effective [[ADVENT's_Agenda_(~~LW2~~)#Strength_Level\|Strength Level]] for the mission, respectively.
