Into The Hive Augments Guide: Spins, Slots & Free Epics

How Augments Work in Into The Hive

Into The Hive augments are equipment upgrades you apply back at base between expeditions, and they change how your weapons and tools behave in the field. Grab one early instead of burning your cash on weak guns.

Augments can shape very different playstyles. One example boosts your firing speed, which is great for shredding bugs in tight tunnels. Another makes your turrets last longer, so your sentry keeps covering the squad when the hive closes in. Since every loadout plays differently, augments are where you decide how your squad takes on each run.

Getting Your First Augments

You roll augments with the Spin button. Rarity matters less than you'd think early on:

• Common augments are worth equipping right away. Don't chase high rarities on day one. Any augment beats an empty slot.
• Log in on your second day. You get a free epic augment just for coming back.
• Use Equipment Tokens. Tokens unlock augments and also buy new guns, throwables, and sentries from the lobby's Equipment menu.

Grab a Free Equipment Token

The code HIVE1 gives you 1 Equipment Token. To redeem it:

1. Finish the first mission if you're a new player, since redemption happens in the lobby.
2. Open the Shop button on the right side of the lobby screen.
3. Find the code box at the bottom of the shop window.
4. Enter HIVE1 exactly. The last character is the number 1, not a lowercase L or capital I.
5. Hit Redeem.

Codes are time-limited, so claim it before it expires. New codes drop through the official Into The Hive Discord and the To The Earth's Core Roblox group.

Augment Slots and Weapon Mastery

Every weapon starts with one augment slot. Once that weapon hits mastery level four, a second slot opens up, which doubles the number of augments that gun can run.

That makes mastery worth grinding on whatever weapon you're using most. If you plan to stick with the game, the Mastery Booster pass speeds this up considerably:

• Mastery Booster (199 Robux): Double Mastery XP on every weapon and piece of equipment, plus half the Cash and ore cost for every equipment upgrade. It's a permanent purchase.
• VIP (199 Robux): +50% Cash from missions, +50% Scrap, +25% Rank XP, and a VIP tag.
• Phoenix Armor (799 Robux): Once per mission, when you go down, you get back up, nearby bugs get knocked back, and a shield dome protects you for 5 seconds.

All three are sold on the Into The Hive Roblox page.

Moving Augments Between Weapons

Don't hold your epic augment for a "real" gun. Putting it on your starter rifle is completely safe. You can pull an augment off at any time and move it to a stronger weapon later, so nothing you equip now goes to waste.

Slot your best augment on whatever you're actually shooting today. When you buy a better gun, move it over.

The Smart Upgrade Order

Don't buy the 5,000-cash gun. It performs almost the same as the starting weapon, so skip it entirely. Follow this order instead:

Step	What to Do	Why
1	Upgrade your starting weapon	Hit the upgrade button instead of spending cash on a weak new gun
2	Spin for an augment	Even a common roll makes your gun noticeably stronger
3	Spin for armor	Common armor is fine for the early game
4	Buy a 12K or 20K weapon	These are the real upgrades over your starter
5	Add grenades and turrets	Rounds out your loadout for harder caves

Once your new 12K or 20K gun is in hand, move your augments onto it and start building its mastery toward that second slot.

FAQ

Can I lose an augment by equipping it on a weak weapon?

No. You can remove any augment whenever you want and transfer it to another weapon.

How do I unlock a second augment slot?

Raise a weapon to mastery level four. That weapon then gets a second augment slot.

Are common augments worth using?

Yes. In the early game a common augment is a solid upgrade, so equip whatever you roll and replace it later.

What do Equipment Tokens do?

They unlock augments and buy new guns, throwables, and sentries from the Equipment menu in the lobby.
