Into The Hive Augment Rarity Guide: Spins, Epics & Slots

How Augments and Rarity Work

Augments are how you shape a loadout before dropping back into the caves. Understanding Into The Hive augment rarity early keeps you from wasting cash chasing perfect rolls when a basic one will carry you through your first expeditions.

You customize your equipment with Augments back at base between missions. To get one, hit the spin button. Each spin hands you one augment, and you won't always land a high rarity.

Don't stress about rarity on your first rolls. A common augment is a solid upgrade when you're starting out, and it still adds real value to a fresh loadout. Take whatever you roll, slot it in, and keep playing. You can always remove an augment and transfer it to a stronger weapon later.

Claim Your Free Epic Augment on Day Two

Log in on your second day and you'll receive a free epic augment. It costs you nothing, so make sure you grab it.

Equip it on your rifle right away. Augments aren't locked to the gear you put them on, so you can pull the epic off at any time and move it to a stronger weapon once you buy one. Equipping it now costs you nothing later.

Unlocking a Second Augment Slot

Once a weapon reaches mastery level four, it unlocks a second augment slot, so you can stack two augments on the same gun.

Milestone	What you get
First spin	One augment of random rarity
Second-day login	Free epic augment
Weapon mastery level 4	Second augment slot on that weapon

If you want to speed it up, the Mastery Booster game pass (199 Robux) doubles Mastery XP on every weapon and piece of equipment. It also halves the Cash and ore cost of every equipment upgrade, and it's a permanent purchase. You'll find it on the Into The Hive Roblox page.

Armor Spins Follow the Same Rule

Armor works the same way: you spin for it, and rarity is random. A lucky roll can land you something strong, but a common piece of armor is perfectly fine for the early game. Pick up your armor spin after you've sorted out your weapon augments, and don't burn resources rerolling for a rare piece too early.

Best Spending Order for New Players

Follow this sequence to get the most out of your early cash:

1. Upgrade your starting weapon. Hit the upgrade button on the gun you already own before buying a new one.
2. Skip the 5,000 gun. The AR 02 costs 5,000 and performs practically the same as your starting rifle. Save toward the 12K or 20K weapons instead.
3. Spin for an augment. Equip whatever rarity you get. Add your free epic on day two.
4. Spin for armor. Common is fine at this stage.
5. Buy the 12K or 20K weapon. Once upgrades, augments, and armor are in place, this is the right time to make the big purchase, then move your epic augment over.
6. Round out your kit. Grab grenades and turrets to cover your squad when swarms close in.

Redeem the code HIVE1 for 1 Equipment Token. You enter it through the Shop in the lobby. Equipment Tokens are spent in the Equipment menu on guns, throwables, and sentries. New players need to finish the first mission before they can reach the lobby and redeem codes.

FAQ

Is a common augment worth equipping?

Yes. A common augment is a meaningful boost early on, so equip it instead of holding out for a better roll.

Can I move an augment to a different weapon?

Yes. You can remove an augment at any time and transfer it to another weapon. That's why it's safe to put your free epic on your starter rifle.

How do I get a second augment slot?

Level a weapon to mastery level four. That weapon then unlocks a second augment slot.
