Into The Hive Armor Guide: Spins, Phoenix Set & Build Order

How Armor Fits Into Your Loadout

When a swarm drops from the ceiling and your squad is pinned in a dead-end tunnel, your gear decides whether you make it back to extraction. Into The Hive armor is one of the core pieces of your setup. Here's how armor works, when to roll for it, and whether the paid Phoenix set is worth your Robux.

Into The Hive is a co-op PvE shooter for 1–4 players. You dig through randomly generated, destructible caves, fight insect swarms, and finish a mission before running back to extraction. Between expeditions, you build your loadout at base. That loadout includes your weapons, Augments, armor, and utility like grenades and turrets.

Rolling for Armor: Common Is Fine Early

You get armor from a spin, much like Augments. Don't stress about rarity on your first rolls. A common piece does the job in the early game, and a lucky roll is a bonus rather than a requirement.

• Spin, equip, move on. Don't sink time or resources into chasing a high-rarity roll before your weapon is in decent shape.
• Pair it with your Augments. Armor and Augments are both rolled, so set them up in the same trip to base before your next expedition.

The Right Order to Spend Your Cash

Armor isn't your first purchase, but it shouldn't be your last either. This order gets the most out of your early cash:

1. Skip the 5,000 gun. The AR 02 costs 5,000 and performs almost the same as your starting rifle. Save that money.
2. Upgrade your starting weapon. Hit the upgrade button on the gun you already have.
3. Spin for an Augment. A common roll is plenty to start. On your second day of logging in, you get a free epic Augment. You can equip it on your starter rifle without worry, because you can take it off later and move it to a better gun.
4. Spin for armor. Once your weapon and Augment are sorted, roll your armor.
5. Buy a 12K or 20K weapon. After your upgrades, Augments, and armor are in place, this is the time to buy a real gun upgrade.
6. Finish with grenades and turrets. Fill out your utility slots last.

Keep leveling the weapon you use most. At mastery level 4, it opens a second Augment slot.

Phoenix Armor: The Paid Armor Set

The only armor sold as a game pass is the Phoenix Armor set, and you keep it permanently. Here's what it does:

• Price: 799 Robux
• Revive: Once per mission, when you go down, you get back up.
• Knockback: Every nearby bug gets thrown back when you rise.
• Shield: A shield dome covers you for 5 seconds after the revive.

Since the revive only triggers once per mission, play carefully after it's spent, and use the 5-second dome to reload or get back to your squad's turret. You can pick up the pass on the Into The Hive Roblox page.

Other Passes That Speed Up Your Gear

If you're spending Robux, two other passes affect how fast your equipment grows:

Game Pass	Price	What You Get
Phoenix Armor	799 Robux	Permanent armor set with a once-per-mission revive, bug knockback, and a 5-second shield dome
VIP	199 Robux	+50% Cash from missions, +50% Scrap, +25% Rank XP, VIP tag
Mastery Booster	199 Robux	Double Mastery XP on every weapon and piece of equipment, plus half the Cash and ore for every equipment upgrade

The Mastery Booster cuts equipment upgrade costs in half. That makes it the pass to look at if you plan to upgrade a lot of gear. VIP instead boosts the Cash you bring home from every mission.

Using Codes on Your Gear

The HIVE1 code gives you 1 Equipment Token. To redeem it, finish the first mission, open the Shop from the lobby, and enter the code in the box at the bottom of the window. The final character is the number 1, not a lowercase L or a capital I.

Equipment Tokens are spent in the Equipment menu on guns, throwables, and sentries. Spend the token on a turret if your squad needs more defense, or on a gun if your own damage is lagging behind. New codes are posted in the official Into The Hive Discord and the To The Earth's Core Roblox group.
