Into The Hive Beginner Guide
New to the hive? Every run follows the same loop: drop into a randomly generated cave, fight through the insect swarm, finish your mission, then make it back to extraction. Here's how your first expeditions go from loadout to payout.
- 1
Set your loadout at base. Pick your weapons, bring the right tools, and put Augments on your equipment before you deploy.
- 2
Pick how you play. Go in solo or form a squad of up to 4 players.
- 3
Explore the cave. Every map is randomly generated, and the terrain is destructible, so you can make your own route.
- 4
Fight through the swarm and finish your mission objective. Keep an eye on the ceiling, because bugs come from every direction.
- 5
Make the run back to extraction. Your mission isn't done until you get out.
- 6
Spend what you earned. Use mission Cash, Scrap and ore to upgrade your equipment and get ready for the next expedition.
